This got reuploaded because yesterday's version of it did not get pushed out to subscribers or notifications. I've taken the older video and flagged it as unlisted and reuploaded this version. Thanks for bearing with me :)
Boogie honestly, this video means a lot to me. I’m struggling A LOT with my panic disorder/ anxiety right now in my life. I can’t eat as much, can’t sleep as much, and can’t go to a lot of classes at school. I always try and trick myself to think no I’m fine, nothings wrong. But I need to realize I’m not okay, and it’s okay.
Screw the meds (get a doctor to help you get off those damn things - my brother did it has been one of the best decisions he made)! Exercise does wonders! Try to stay away from sugar and alcohol too. I have panic attacks at least twice a week early in AM. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep at all. Try mindfulness meditation - it helps to do this prior to entering a panic. Very effective but steep learning curve. I suggest reading -Wherever You Go There You Are- by Jon Kabat-Zinn (I know corny title). Excellent intro to meditation. Good luck.
I really do love you boogie. You are an inspiration to so many. You are so kind and gracious and humble. Just don’t forget to set aside some of your massive (pun intended) heart for yourself man. Be happy for you pal. That’s all your subscribers want. You may not be “ok” but a hell a lot of us love you regardless. You learn to love you first; we will be waiting for you.
Your doing great man , such an inspiration. Wish I had that dedication you have. Keep up these great videos as I love to watch them during hard times , good luck .
Found it the first time around, luckily my notifications never miss your videos. The message of this video is very poignant and positive for me. Thank you, Boogie! Love ya, buddy
My motto (no meme intended) is to just do it. If there’s something I don’t want to do, I just do it without thinking about it. That’s the only way I can really get things done. Emotionally, I just let what I feel happen. Besides, for some reason, I like feeling sad. No idea why.
I certainly wish you luck Boogie, and it's true if your miserable it's best to put in the work to hopefully be less miserable later, tomorrow, or whenever. I certainly know this very well and continue to struggle with it, some days are better than others whether it's 1 step forward or 2 steps backward.
You know, I kinda needed to hear that. I went through a heck of a breakup and only just today did me and my ex decide to cease all communications. Removing and blocking each other from social media, and truly going our own ways. And everyone around me tells me to be strong, just push past it and get over it... but you know, you are right boogie, it's ok to not be ok. It's gonna be hard letting go of all that time and memories, and like you I got some work to do... But that work doesn't involve me just ignoring the pain and smiling for everyone else. I will be ok eventually, just not today.
Savin Brass I’m going through the same exact thing bro. My wife wanted to divorce me while I was away working. I’m across the country wondering what’s going on. She doesn’t wanna talk to me or much about it so I’m left to my thoughts in complete darkened. Lots of memories and history too. I have to put in work because it keeps me mentally distracted but I night it’s nothing but anxiety and depression.
Every time i watch a rambling video it feels like your talking to me and giving me advice because it resonates with me so much. Thank you so much for teaching me new things on how to improve my crazy self every time i go to your channel. and thank you so much for sticking with us all of these years, your support is beyond invaluable, and your just a genuinely cool guy!
Thank you, Boogie. This video could not have come at a better time for me. I was in the middle of an emotional breakdown of my own when I saw this in my sub list, and watching it gave me the hope and strength of knowing I'm not alone, and it's okay to not be okay. You truly are an inspiration to so many of us out there, and I hope you continue to follow your own road to wellness and encourage others to do the same.
I have the same thing, most of mine dont talk to me, the ones who do aren't true friends, but the few true friends that i have will graduate, and/or arent around I can assure you, you will be okay, you can always come here to talk to people (if that makes sense)
Your such an inspiration and i relatate to you on so many ways especially on regard to the its okay to not be okay and to work through things even if its makes you miserable, i had a large spell on hospital with cancer when i was 8 for several years and it left me with some physical visible reminders due to radiotherapy, watching and listening to you and your progress and attitude helps so much to put my past behind me as your doing and trying to be happy with who you are, it really helps more than you realise, thank you and keel up the good work (sorry for the short ramble that prob dont make sense)
Boogie, and to whoever reads this, I’m still very young and I’ve run into my first road bump with sad feelings. I do not think it’s depression but it’s just a little phase. I have a loving family, a good future plan ahead with college, and good friends. I did recently break up with a girlfriend and am getting scared of going to college and leaving my comfortable life left behind. But watching you videos and how you have the balls to get on the internet and talk about our problems with the rest of the world and how YOU are your own agent of change. I love it. Reading the comment section of your videos with supporting people all over and other people feeling the same way as me gives me comfort that I’m not alone. So thank you Boogie and anyone else who reads this. I’ve been working things out and I’m already feeling better :) It’s okay to be not okay...
Thank you Boogie for talking about such a hard topic to cover especially from personal experience. You’re an inspiring man! You look incredible! Keep pushing! Onwards and upwards!
It's always nice to hear Boogie talk about it, as someone who shares a lot of similarities with Boogie. Though I personally don't think I'll ever get over the "you have to love yourself before someone else will love you" thing. I hate myself, and always will, lol. So of course I'm still single, and will probably die as such. It's just a matter of coming to terms with it, is all.
Throughout my years of following you I've discovered that you're great at making people feel fantastic about myself, never really thought much of myself. So thank you man
Sigils, ETHEC. No, it wasn't. The original video's comment section was full of people saying they weren't notified in any way about the video's existence.
Thanks for this video Boogie. It’s nice to hear from someone who is still in the middle of a lot of difficulty. It’s easier to relate to than people who have already made it through. Hope we all come out well on the other side of our troubles. I am rooting for you.
Thanks for your ramble today, Boogie. I needed this. "You're miserable anyway, so just do the work." It really helps to hear someone talk about their own self-destructive behaviors and coping mechanisms. Makes me realize I'm not alone, and it's just part of being human.
I appreciate you're honesty. So often we only hear about the good, normal and positive aspects of other people's lives and not the real aspects that makes them human. I too have been coming to terms with my struggles and defects. Let us not compare ourselves to others but to the person we used to be. You have made great strides Boogie. I wish you the best.
You're right, it's okay not to be okay. No matter how bad things can get, we can bring ourselves out of it. Sometimes it takes time, but we need to be patient with ourselves. Stay strong my dude, you have my full support! ♥️
THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You are so strong. Im dealing with completely different issues than you but I have been miserable and I have not been putting in the work I need to. I almost find solace in my misery sometimes. I know there is work to do and it seems overwhelming. Thanks for reminding me that it will take time and I don't have to be ok right now ♡
Thank you man. I too have usually been able to push myself physically even to the point where I'm just ignoring pain. But I never thought about doing that mentally. For some reason I just wanted to go easy on myself, and when nothing improved, I wanted to go even easier. Let's both try to push ourselves this way, and who knows, one day we might be doing a lot better and be glad we did it.
Never lose hope Boog. Hope is what can see your potential for greatness even when it seems invisible. You have done so much but you can absolutely do and become even more than you ever imagined. When your healing has taken it's course just imagine what amazing and creative things you will accomplish.
Thank you Boogie! I really appreciated this video. I just went through a life & death medical crisis in March and was a pretty scary experience. I am now home after being in the hospital for about 2 weeks. My perspective has changed and there has been a lot of emotional issues I have been having to process through as I physically am recovering (getting stronger by the day)! And you're right - it IS okay not to be okay for awhile. We are human and are allowed to feel how we feel as long as it doesn't ultimately keep us down. For me, I am allowing myself to feel what I do (after trying to be ok) and then get back up and, as you said, "do the work". We are all here for a reason and I know you have a life mission as well. Thank you for all you do & I am 100% behind you, my friend. Love you!
Thanks Boogie! Your words are an inspiration to me. Recently, I had a medical scare as I thought I was having a heart attack. I got to the hospital and all of the bloodwork showed that it was not but only a panic attack. I am overweight and the scare has motivated me to make a change in my lifestyle. Thanks for your videos and most importantly, great job on all the work you have put in and goals you have achieved. Best of luck.
Boogie, you do you. You motivate me. At times, you feel like family. I've never met you in person, but you are so down to earth and honest about the important things. You try your hardest to be an example when you can. Thank you. Thank you.
You're absolutely right. You only grow as a human-being in times of hardship. Peace is not absence from conflict, it is the ability to manage conflict before it becomes a problem. Your thinking is spot-on.
It's definitely okay not to be okay. Let yourself feel bad, but let yourself heal too. The bad feelings will drain out to make the happy parts better. I'm going through a more-or-less depression at the moment, but being sad whilst still trying to heal is the best way to go.
Hey boogie, just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've been going through a rough patch of life for a little while now and hearing this quote actually helps me a bit. So thank you, I needed to hear this and hearing it from you actually means something. Also good luck with the rest of your weightloss, you're doing an amazing job
After going to my girlfriends OCD exposure therapy sessions with her, I have learned so much about mental health. Self compassion is so important, and feeling these feelings of anxiety is the only way to feel better. Stay strong and know its ok to mess up or fall short some days. My girlfriends favorite saying is "I am human".
Thank you Boogie. I’ve never really paid much attention to videos out there talking about ‘the importance of mental health’. But your video is different. I can honestly say that I’ve gained some positive points/ steps from this video, that I can use to improve my mental health. You’re the man! I love watching your videos. :)
Your an inspiration, my fiance passed away a couple years ago and I have been a wreck. Your positivity has been helping me a lot and I got off my depressed ass and got a new job. Seriously, thanks for being who you are, I feel like I'm talking with an old friend watching your videos.
I think this is some great advice. So many times I find that when I'm faced with a problem that seems incredibly hard I avoid it, thus making it even harder. In situations like this you're going to have to face it sooner or later and so the sooner you face it the better as it will reduce the difficultly and hopefully free up some time where you'll be happier after it's done. Either way it's going to suck but if you get it done sooner you'll hopefully have some time where it doesn't suck before you have to confront the next issue you've been neglecting.
Thank you Boogie, I needed this right now. I've been going through a really hard time lately, I just went through a break up that turned very sour very quickly... I had started putting up rambling videos, kind of like talking therapy, just helps get things off my chest... But earlier this week, my ex decided she was going to take me to court, over ridiculous fraudulent claims... So now on top of my chronic depression and anxiety, I'm dealing with the stress of a court date. So I've been having a really, REALLY hard time coping with everything lately. I don't understand why these things are happening to me, or what I did to deserve it. My psychologist and social worker said that I haven't done anything wrong, which would be a relief, but I still have to be in court on Monday. I'm completely broke, but I needed a lawyer to fight this, and my mom was kind enough to pay for that... But I HATE that it's come to this. I just want this chapter of my life to be over, and I've been trying sooooooo hard to not have it end in suicide.
Sadness isn't nice but it's also an emotion just like happiness, anger, fear etc. I don't always mind being sad because being sad is a feeling and that feeling is part of being human. I'd much rather feel something than feel nothing, even if it's sadness. The thing is about sadness is that it's much much more easy to deal with if you're honest about it. The most common lie in the world is 'I'm fine'. A lot of people will say that even though there is something bothering them. They don't want to talk about it, sometimes because of pride, sometimes because they'd rather ignore it. I think that's one thing that's on your side Boogie, at least your honest. You make these videos and say exactly how you feel. That's a very admirable trait and something you need to remind yourself of every now and again
Wow. This is the hard truth I didn't even know I needed. I've been pushing things off with video games and other forms of "self-medication" which has caused my anxiety levels to shoot up and I feel like I'm just in survival mode, living day-to-day. I have been watching your videos for at least 4 years now and you still provide these excellent pieces of advice and self-help. You are an inspiration boogie and I hope we both get through this short-term misery to see into the long-term. Also as someone who has watched nearly every video you've put out for the past 4 years, I expect RUclips to at least show this in my recommended. How is RUclips getting more broken by the day?
Hey boogie just wanted to let you know that these videos show me not only a guy who is improving himself physically but also mentally and emotionally. Being able to witness this journey you are undertaking is inspiring and i believe you are going to fulfill your goals.
Boogie I have just started this video and the title has me in tears because I am not ok. Thank you for helping me even though you don't know me you have helped and inspired me thank you.
Yo Boogie, really enjoy this as a series. I hope you continue to put these out once in a while. This video helped me to realize how miserable i actually am and that maybe i need to try to work at it, find something to change, do something different to get out of this horrible hole I feel like I'm in. Thanks a lot just for talking about it and talking about you.
The transition you've made in such a short amount of time is amazing, Boogie. I remember seeing you in McJuggerNugget's series with you, and the difference between that and seeing you in your ready player one review is just astounding. The self-discipline you have and focus on this goal is really inspiring and I wish you the best of luck in reaching that goal.
This video just kicked me in the ass to get up and start my weightloss goals ive been avoiding. Sleeved 4 years ago and gained 39 lbs. You just gave me the courage to get off my butt and back on track! Thank you so much. We can do this!
This video couldnt have come at better time for me boogie. Your convinced me to do the same thing and deal with my problems now. My girlfriend and I are "sperating" in a few weeks when she goes overseas for 2 year. We have only been together for 2 months and she had planned the trip before we got together. I know it's going to ruin me letting her go and not being happy for her feels wrong, this message has given me the kick up the ass to accept the pain and process it now so I can be happy for her and enjoy our time getter before its over. THANK YOU Boogie
Good for you kid.... ive been putting on a happy face for the last 10 years because I love my family and friends. It's hard. Going forward is hard. Not wanting to let people down... Or show them how you think is hard. ... every day is worth it though. There is so much good in the world . Keep your head up.
Being 21 and dealing with severe mental illness since the age of 14 , this video has really put a positive message on me and i thank you for the upload.
Thank you... this truly made me feel better. You're so inspirational. This got me super emotional... I'm not in the best place right now, and I've been unhappy for months now.
really good video - even when you’re feeling not ok; remember that the work you’re doing is helping others to feel ok. these discussions often aren’t had frequently enough - especially by men and you’re bridging that gap and doing a fantastic job of it. keep it up!
This video helped me a lot in just the short 12 minutes it took to watch it. In the last few days i had to cut ties with the love of my life. And it really sucks. This video helped me realize that it’s ok that I feel like a garbage can. That it’s ok if I’m a little depressed. Because eventually, on my own time, I will be better in the long run. Thanks Boogie.
This is some powerful stuff. I'd probably say I have relatively mild anxiety and I often push things aside until the stress of not doing them overcomes the stress of doing them but this is a nice reflection of how that's a stupid thing to do.
I couldn't agree more boogie. Itd been an awful yesr for me. My ex broke up with me on easter yes thsy hurts but what hurts the most is we lost s baby earlier this yesr that's had me depressed all year. Luckily though we're not togather we have one on the way that's the only thing keeping me positive right now.
I needed to hear this because this past Sunday my dog Princess got sick and after a visit at the vet we had to decide to put her down. We decided to end her suffering. Lately I haven't been able to handle not coming home to her. But I have been getting better and think it has been in part because of my emotional release I have been doing. When I am home and remember her i cry. Whether that is for a few minutes or an hour I have been letting myself do it. Now I got some reassurance that it is beneficial to do so and now feel better doing so when I need to Thanks Boogie.
Boogie, Writing this comment from the treadmill at the gym right now, which is a triumph for me today, because a little over an hour ago I was laying in bed after a tough day at work (and an overall tough 2018 so far), and accepting the fact that rather than be productive on my Wednesday evening, I was just going to have a depressive episode and take a nap. I know you probably know as well as anyone that carrying any day's positive momentum into another day often doesn't go as conveniently as we'd like... ... but today had no momentum for me to even carry into tonight until watching this. And while a trip to the gym isn't much, it's at least putting in a little work toward a better me. And your message today gave me that push to make today a better today than I otherwise would have had. And I felt that was certainly worth expressing some gratitude and appreciation toward you today. Cheers brother!
Thanks Boogie this was great! I went through a divorce 5 years ago and I worked really hard to improve myself almost immediately after signing the papers. But I didn't give myself enough time to grieve the loss, which was a huge mistake! I got very depressed got into video gaming way too much (and drinking) because I just couldn't handle the despair. Strangely enough this cycle continued a couple of times, each time becoming more bearable. It gets better man! Very admirable that you recognize that personal problems aren't something to ignore forever - they must be confronted.
It’s definitely not easy to work on these thing. I myself am going through very intense therapy and have been working on it for about 3 years and it’s so hard and sometimes I think I should just stop trying to fix myself but I keep going.. I’ve recently been reading a book called (the courage to heal) and it’s been helping a lot. Everybody is different so I don’t know if it will help you but I think it’s worth a try. Love you man and I always look up to you. It’s like you’re my brother from another mother. I wish you were my brother cuz I think you would have protected me in like my real brothers
Positive outlook. Unhapiness is not permanent, it "will" go away, you "will" be happy and you're not dead. I myself struggle with metal health (obbsessive thoughts and anxiety disorders). Easy for thought to carry you away, imagination, catastrophizing. We have to focus on the "now", the reality in front of us, and always with the knowledge that you "will" have happy times ahead and always will and the sad things are temporary and not always confirmed to happen, but happiness is always confirmed as it is a part of life, a default we live by and something we seek out. We always enjoy "something". Enjoying life for it's own sake and experiances is part of the meaning of life it's self. It's simple yet profound at the same time. I try to see life as a constant stream of joy and contentment, that just sometimes gets a few roadblocks that we just learn to hop over now and again. Rules for thought: Does my current thought pose a real threat to my current reality? Do I have absolute proof of my current fearful thought being true? Is my worrying productive? Or is it meaningless rumination? If my thoughts do not pose a real threat to my current reality, is it worth hanging on to them or paying attention to them? If there is a genuine worry, is there anything I can do "right now?" Does worry achieve anything or change that future prospect? Or does it serve to only aggravate my present state? If I can do something in preperaion for a "confirmed" worry, I do what I can to the most practical and realistic of ability and then leave, any further worry or thought is not productive. I shall only hold up an umbrella when it rains, I shall not hold up the umbrella waiting for the rain.
This video really hits home for me...my wife just moved out a few days ago, and took out two kids with her. I've been in a really funky place since she left...I feel as though I've lost part of myself. Thank you so much for addressing this topic. It really means a lot.
Dear god did this hit hard and is so relevant in my life at the moment, years of bullshit has finally put a crack in the haul and I’m starting to have to fix it instead pushing it away.
I started watching your videos a while back after the Mountain Dew Francis video, but I’ve stuck around because of videos like this. Keep it going buddy. Good luck with everything.
Great video boogie im really liking you're mindset now and that's the type of mentality i needed to lose over 120 lbs, unfortunately gained a lot back but i know i can come back and be stronger than ever. Keep it up man.
Thankyou Boogie because I’m seen as different and weird in my school the only friends I have are my Xbox friends I have about 400 on Xbox but in real life I have anxiety issues I’m socially awkward especially around the girl I like so many rumours have been said about me in school I’m in year 9 high school I’m not sure how it goes in America because I’m from England but yea I’m quite overweight for my age of 13 and the nerdy awkward heavy metal kid but you inspire me boogie I share a few problems you have wich is why you inspire me so much your one of my favourites along with AGP and Jacksepticeye thankyou so much Boogie for making me smile and Boogie I GOT YOUR MTN DEWWWW😂 rock on man we love you dude all the way🤘🏻
Boogie this video came out at just the right time for me. I have been going threw some hard times lately and I have had some bad thoughts in the line of depprison but this video made me look at not being ok in a different view. Thank you
Boogie we have a lot of similarities with depression as well as having the Gastric Bypass surgery mine was in August. I have not started with a therapist for my issues though (I know I need to soon) listening to you makes me think it could really help. I just wanted to say I look forward to your “rambling” videos and I admire your courage and strength to keep going and posting your videos. Thank you for the inspiration you rock!!
Thanks boogie. Sorry I haven't been watching as much lately. I really needed this today. I know it's been over a month already but I hope things are looking even just a tiny bit better for you in your head.
Yeah yeah your doing life buddy so awesome to see and thanks for suiting up and sharing. In my experience being of service, as intimately of possible, will get you out of your head everytime. That's what life's about.
My aunt had the same surgery as you, as I learned recently. That came as a shock to me, since she looks like she was never overweight in her life. That makes me think that you’ll do great, keep working hard, boogie!
This got reuploaded because yesterday's version of it did not get pushed out to subscribers or notifications. I've taken the older video and flagged it as unlisted and reuploaded this version. Thanks for bearing with me :)
I got a notification on yesterday's video.
boogie2988 well that answers my question 👌
boogie2988 i found it when going through my sub box as i do multiple times daily.
Sames been happening with my videos
Thanks I didn't know you'd uploaded hope you see this keep up the good work you're an inspiration ✌✌
boogie2988 you’re awesome boogie keep doing you! Love you man
I love listening to your rants, you're such an inspiration
I'm proud of you Boogie. We're all flawed people but we have the capability to help other flawed people. Thank you for your rambling series.
Looking so slim Boogie! Keep going, we love you❤️
You’re the best, man. The rambling series is my favorite.
This appeared in both my notifications and subscriptions box. Hope you aren't forced to reupload any more videos because of RUclips being broken.
"Its the ALGORITHM, people aren't watching me anymore because of the ALGORITHM!!!"
Jamalt Chestnutt His original upload was not in my subscriptions or notifications, so go fuck yourself
Jamalt Chestnutt The original video nor this one hit my subs or notifications. Just so happened to check his channel and catch it
Hey I know you I love your work!! But anyways yeah I hope this never happens again to boogie
Yea that happened to me I only saw it in my recommended but not my subs box, do we know why this happens?
Boogie honestly, this video means a lot to me. I’m struggling A LOT with my panic disorder/ anxiety right now in my life. I can’t eat as much, can’t sleep as much, and can’t go to a lot of classes at school. I always try and trick myself to think no I’m fine, nothings wrong. But I need to realize I’m not okay, and it’s okay.
Frauggu yes, I’m taking Fluoxetine and Hydroxyzine but a lot of the times I break through and keep panicking
Screw the meds (get a doctor to help you get off those damn things - my brother did it has been one of the best decisions he made)! Exercise does wonders! Try to stay away from sugar and alcohol too.
I have panic attacks at least twice a week early in AM. Sometimes I can't go back to sleep at all.
Try mindfulness meditation - it helps to do this prior to entering a panic. Very effective but steep learning curve. I suggest reading -Wherever You Go There You Are- by Jon Kabat-Zinn (I know corny title). Excellent intro to meditation. Good luck.
I really do love you boogie. You are an inspiration to so many. You are so kind and gracious and humble. Just don’t forget to set aside some of your massive (pun intended) heart for yourself man. Be happy for you pal. That’s all your subscribers want. You may not be “ok” but a hell a lot of us love you regardless. You learn to love you first; we will be waiting for you.
Your doing great man , such an inspiration. Wish I had that dedication you have. Keep up these great videos as I love to watch them during hard times , good luck .
Found it the first time around, luckily my notifications never miss your videos. The message of this video is very poignant and positive for me. Thank you, Boogie! Love ya, buddy
I have no problem watching this again
Persy 3100 Your mom gay
What is your profile picture? Lmao😂😂😂
Otter ur granpap a trap
Then stop watching, enough others for you :)
My motto (no meme intended) is to just do it. If there’s something I don’t want to do, I just do it without thinking about it. That’s the only way I can really get things done.
Emotionally, I just let what I feel happen. Besides, for some reason, I like feeling sad. No idea why.
Tomoko Kuroki Same here
Ty again for posting this video. It's okay not to be okay is my new motto. You're the best.
I certainly wish you luck Boogie, and it's true if your miserable it's best to put in the work to hopefully be less miserable later, tomorrow, or whenever. I certainly know this very well and continue to struggle with it, some days are better than others whether it's 1 step forward or 2 steps backward.
You know, I kinda needed to hear that. I went through a heck of a breakup and only just today did me and my ex decide to cease all communications. Removing and blocking each other from social media, and truly going our own ways. And everyone around me tells me to be strong, just push past it and get over it... but you know, you are right boogie, it's ok to not be ok. It's gonna be hard letting go of all that time and memories, and like you I got some work to do... But that work doesn't involve me just ignoring the pain and smiling for everyone else. I will be ok eventually, just not today.
Savin Brass I’m going through the same exact thing bro. My wife wanted to divorce me while I was away working. I’m across the country wondering what’s going on. She doesn’t wanna talk to me or much about it so I’m left to my thoughts in complete darkened. Lots of memories and history too. I have to put in work because it keeps me mentally distracted but I night it’s nothing but anxiety and depression.
Krazy_Loco_305 get help rather sooner than later. You will regret not looking for help sooner.
Boogie you are the best
Persy 3100 then why you on it😂
I like this series
We’re all fighting with you. Keep your head high.
* Lots of us are fighting for your, what do you mean with fighting?
Persy 3100 What do you mean "dead channel"? More than 4 million subs and hundreds of thousands of views per video doesn't strike me as dead.
The original didnt even show up in my sub box but im glad you reuploaded it. Really needed to hear some of these things.
Every time i watch a rambling video it feels like your talking to me and giving me advice because it resonates with me so much. Thank you so much for teaching me new things on how to improve my crazy self every time i go to your channel. and thank you so much for sticking with us all of these years, your support is beyond invaluable, and your just a genuinely cool guy!
Thank you, Boogie. This video could not have come at a better time for me. I was in the middle of an emotional breakdown of my own when I saw this in my sub list, and watching it gave me the hope and strength of knowing I'm not alone, and it's okay to not be okay. You truly are an inspiration to so many of us out there, and I hope you continue to follow your own road to wellness and encourage others to do the same.
I'm definitely not ok. I'm a senior in college, alone (all my friends have graduate or don't talk to me anymore), I always feel fatigued.
The Prodigal Knight hang in there man it gets better ✌
Luke Mc
Thanks, bro! The kind words are appreciated :)
I have the same thing, most of mine dont talk to me, the ones who do aren't true friends, but the few true friends that i have will graduate, and/or arent around
I can assure you, you will be okay, you can always come here to talk to people (if that makes sense)
Try marijuana. Will change your entire outlook on life, for the better.
Highly recommend mindfulness meditation.
Just want to say thank you for everything man you’ve helped me so much
Your such an inspiration and i relatate to you on so many ways especially on regard to the its okay to not be okay and to work through things even if its makes you miserable, i had a large spell on hospital with cancer when i was 8 for several years and it left me with some physical visible reminders due to radiotherapy, watching and listening to you and your progress and attitude helps so much to put my past behind me as your doing and trying to be happy with who you are, it really helps more than you realise, thank you and keel up the good work (sorry for the short ramble that prob dont make sense)
Boogie, and to whoever reads this,
I’m still very young and I’ve run into my first road bump with sad feelings. I do not think it’s depression but it’s just a little phase. I have a loving family, a good future plan ahead with college, and good friends. I did recently break up with a girlfriend and am getting scared of going to college and leaving my comfortable life left behind. But watching you videos and how you have the balls to get on the internet and talk about our problems with the rest of the world and how YOU are your own agent of change. I love it. Reading the comment section of your videos with supporting people all over and other people feeling the same way as me gives me comfort that I’m not alone. So thank you Boogie and anyone else who reads this. I’ve been working things out and I’m already feeling better :)
It’s okay to be not okay...
Thank you Boogie for talking about such a hard topic to cover especially from personal experience. You’re an inspiring man! You look incredible! Keep pushing! Onwards and upwards!
It's always nice to hear Boogie talk about it, as someone who shares a lot of similarities with Boogie. Though I personally don't think I'll ever get over the "you have to love yourself before someone else will love you" thing. I hate myself, and always will, lol. So of course I'm still single, and will probably die as such. It's just a matter of coming to terms with it, is all.
Throughout my years of following you I've discovered that you're great at making people feel fantastic about myself, never really thought much of myself. So thank you man
I legit did not know this was a reupload..
Wasn't pushed to subscriptions or notifications the first time around.
ReddyUp It was, that's bullshit.
Sigils, ETHEC. Oh ok, do you speak for ALL SUBS?
Sigils, ETHEC. Lol, are you stupid it had 73k views. You're an idiot lolol
Sigils, ETHEC. No, it wasn't. The original video's comment section was full of people saying they weren't notified in any way about the video's existence.
Everyone has some ups and downs and if you don't then you're not human.

If you don't. Your lying.

Um streamer, I'm a space walrus intelligence, not a human.
Thanks for this video Boogie. It’s nice to hear from someone who is still in the middle of a lot of difficulty. It’s easier to relate to than people who have already made it through. Hope we all come out well on the other side of our troubles. I am rooting for you.
Thanks for your ramble today, Boogie. I needed this. "You're miserable anyway, so just do the work." It really helps to hear someone talk about their own self-destructive behaviors and coping mechanisms. Makes me realize I'm not alone, and it's just part of being human.
Acknowledging it's not okay is the first step to being okay
I appreciate you're honesty. So often we only hear about the good, normal and positive aspects of other people's lives and not the real aspects that makes them human. I too have been coming to terms with my struggles and defects. Let us not compare ourselves to others but to the person we used to be. You have made great strides Boogie. I wish you the best.
You're right, it's okay not to be okay. No matter how bad things can get, we can bring ourselves out of it. Sometimes it takes time, but we need to be patient with ourselves.
Stay strong my dude, you have my full support! ♥️
THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You are so strong. Im dealing with completely different issues than you but I have been miserable and I have not been putting in the work I need to. I almost find solace in my misery sometimes. I know there is work to do and it seems overwhelming. Thanks for reminding me that it will take time and I don't have to be ok right now ♡
Thank you man.
I too have usually been able to push myself physically even to the point where I'm just ignoring pain.
But I never thought about doing that mentally. For some reason I just wanted to go easy on myself, and when nothing improved, I wanted to go even easier.
Let's both try to push ourselves this way, and who knows, one day we might be doing a lot better and be glad we did it.
Never lose hope Boog. Hope is what can see your potential for greatness even when it seems invisible. You have done so much but you can absolutely do and become even more than you ever imagined. When your healing has taken it's course just imagine what amazing and creative things you will accomplish.
Thank you Boogie! I really appreciated this video. I just went through a life & death medical crisis in March and was a pretty scary experience. I am now home after being in the hospital for about 2 weeks. My perspective has changed and there has been a lot of emotional issues I have been having to process through as I physically am recovering (getting stronger by the day)! And you're right - it IS okay not to be okay for awhile. We are human and are allowed to feel how we feel as long as it doesn't ultimately keep us down. For me, I am allowing myself to feel what I do (after trying to be ok) and then get back up and, as you said, "do the work". We are all here for a reason and I know you have a life mission as well. Thank you for all you do & I am 100% behind you, my friend. Love you!
Thanks Boogie! Your words are an inspiration to me. Recently, I had a medical scare as I thought I was having a heart attack. I got to the hospital and all of the bloodwork showed that it was not but only a panic attack. I am overweight and the scare has motivated me to make a change in my lifestyle. Thanks for your videos and most importantly, great job on all the work you have put in and goals you have achieved. Best of luck.
Boogie, you do you. You motivate me. At times, you feel like family. I've never met you in person, but you are so down to earth and honest about the important things. You try your hardest to be an example when you can. Thank you. Thank you.
You're absolutely right. You only grow as a human-being in times of hardship. Peace is not absence from conflict, it is the ability to manage conflict before it becomes a problem. Your thinking is spot-on.
It's definitely okay not to be okay.
Let yourself feel bad, but let yourself heal too. The bad feelings will drain out to make the happy parts better.
I'm going through a more-or-less depression at the moment, but being sad whilst still trying to heal is the best way to go.
It doesn't matter how bad things are, as long as you are working toward making them better you are doing good
Boogie, you fricken rock man! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Hey boogie, just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've been going through a rough patch of life for a little while now and hearing this quote actually helps me a bit. So thank you, I needed to hear this and hearing it from you actually means something.
Also good luck with the rest of your weightloss, you're doing an amazing job
After going to my girlfriends OCD exposure therapy sessions with her, I have learned so much about mental health. Self compassion is so important, and feeling these feelings of anxiety is the only way to feel better. Stay strong and know its ok to mess up or fall short some days. My girlfriends favorite saying is "I am human".
Worry is the interest paid in advance on a debt in advance on a debt you may never owe. great quote.
Good for you man. Accepting where you’re at and who you are is the first step to recovery. You’re very brave, keep it up bro.
Thank you Boogie. I’ve never really paid much attention to videos out there talking about ‘the importance of mental health’. But your video is different. I can honestly say that I’ve gained some positive points/ steps from this video, that I can use to improve my mental health. You’re the man! I love watching your videos. :)
Your an inspiration, my fiance passed away a couple years ago and I have been a wreck. Your positivity has been helping me a lot and I got off my depressed ass and got a new job. Seriously, thanks for being who you are, I feel like I'm talking with an old friend watching your videos.
I think this is some great advice. So many times I find that when I'm faced with a problem that seems incredibly hard I avoid it, thus making it even harder. In situations like this you're going to have to face it sooner or later and so the sooner you face it the better as it will reduce the difficultly and hopefully free up some time where you'll be happier after it's done. Either way it's going to suck but if you get it done sooner you'll hopefully have some time where it doesn't suck before you have to confront the next issue you've been neglecting.
Thank you Boogie, I needed this right now. I've been going through a really hard time lately, I just went through a break up that turned very sour very quickly... I had started putting up rambling videos, kind of like talking therapy, just helps get things off my chest... But earlier this week, my ex decided she was going to take me to court, over ridiculous fraudulent claims... So now on top of my chronic depression and anxiety, I'm dealing with the stress of a court date.
So I've been having a really, REALLY hard time coping with everything lately. I don't understand why these things are happening to me, or what I did to deserve it. My psychologist and social worker said that I haven't done anything wrong, which would be a relief, but I still have to be in court on Monday. I'm completely broke, but I needed a lawyer to fight this, and my mom was kind enough to pay for that... But I HATE that it's come to this. I just want this chapter of my life to be over, and I've been trying sooooooo hard to not have it end in suicide.
Sadness isn't nice but it's also an emotion just like happiness, anger, fear etc. I don't always mind being sad because being sad is a feeling and that feeling is part of being human. I'd much rather feel something than feel nothing, even if it's sadness. The thing is about sadness is that it's much much more easy to deal with if you're honest about it. The most common lie in the world is 'I'm fine'. A lot of people will say that even though there is something bothering them. They don't want to talk about it, sometimes because of pride, sometimes because they'd rather ignore it.
I think that's one thing that's on your side Boogie, at least your honest. You make these videos and say exactly how you feel. That's a very admirable trait and something you need to remind yourself of every now and again
Wow. This is the hard truth I didn't even know I needed. I've been pushing things off with video games and other forms of "self-medication" which has caused my anxiety levels to shoot up and I feel like I'm just in survival mode, living day-to-day. I have been watching your videos for at least 4 years now and you still provide these excellent pieces of advice and self-help. You are an inspiration boogie and I hope we both get through this short-term misery to see into the long-term.
Also as someone who has watched nearly every video you've put out for the past 4 years, I expect RUclips to at least show this in my recommended. How is RUclips getting more broken by the day?
Hey boogie just wanted to let you know that these videos show me not only a guy who is improving himself physically but also mentally and emotionally. Being able to witness this journey you are undertaking is inspiring and i believe you are going to fulfill your goals.
I struggle with depression. I have bipolar disorder, ptsd, anxiety, and insomnia... So I know the meaning of "it's ok not to be ok"..
I don’t blame you for reuploading, what happened was weird
Boogie I have just started this video and the title has me in tears because I am not ok. Thank you for helping me even though you don't know me you have helped and inspired me thank you.
Yo Boogie, really enjoy this as a series. I hope you continue to put these out once in a while. This video helped me to realize how miserable i actually am and that maybe i need to try to work at it, find something to change, do something different to get out of this horrible hole I feel like I'm in. Thanks a lot just for talking about it and talking about you.
Keep up the good work man. Your videos have helped me so much that I can't even fully express how grateful I am. Thank you.
The transition you've made in such a short amount of time is amazing, Boogie. I remember seeing you in McJuggerNugget's series with you, and the difference between that and seeing you in your ready player one review is just astounding. The self-discipline you have and focus on this goal is really inspiring and I wish you the best of luck in reaching that goal.
the best advice a counselor ever gave me was the fact it's okay to have bad thoughts just not okay to act on them
This video just kicked me in the ass to get up and start my weightloss goals ive been avoiding. Sleeved 4 years ago and gained 39 lbs. You just gave me the courage to get off my butt and back on track! Thank you so much. We can do this!
This video couldnt have come at better time for me boogie. Your convinced me to do the same thing and deal with my problems now. My girlfriend and I are "sperating" in a few weeks when she goes overseas for 2 year. We have only been together for 2 months and she had planned the trip before we got together. I know it's going to ruin me letting her go and not being happy for her feels wrong, this message has given me the kick up the ass to accept the pain and process it now so I can be happy for her and enjoy our time getter before its over. THANK YOU Boogie
Good for you kid.... ive been putting on a happy face for the last 10 years because I love my family and friends. It's hard. Going forward is hard. Not wanting to let people down... Or show them how you think is hard. ... every day is worth it though. There is so much good in the world . Keep your head up.
Being 21 and dealing with severe mental illness since the age of 14 , this video has really put a positive message on me and i thank you for the upload.
Thank you... this truly made me feel better.
You're so inspirational. This got me super emotional...
I'm not in the best place right now, and I've been unhappy for months now.
really good video - even when you’re feeling not ok; remember that the work you’re doing is helping others to feel ok. these discussions often aren’t had frequently enough - especially by men and you’re bridging that gap and doing a fantastic job of it. keep it up!
This video helped me a lot in just the short 12 minutes it took to watch it. In the last few days i had to cut ties with the love of my life. And it really sucks. This video helped me realize that it’s ok that I feel like a garbage can. That it’s ok if I’m a little depressed. Because eventually, on my own time, I will be better in the long run. Thanks Boogie.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, man... I actually caught myself holding my breath until I stopped on this video.
This is some powerful stuff. I'd probably say I have relatively mild anxiety and I often push things aside until the stress of not doing them overcomes the stress of doing them but this is a nice reflection of how that's a stupid thing to do.
I couldn't agree more boogie. Itd been an awful yesr for me. My ex broke up with me on easter yes thsy hurts but what hurts the most is we lost s baby earlier this yesr that's had me depressed all year. Luckily though we're not togather we have one on the way that's the only thing keeping me positive right now.
Brandon Tipton oh my goodness! You are going through A LOT. I wish you peace, friend.
nikki venable thank you it's been rough on me but luckily I hsve something to keep fighting for
You are so wise boog. Your advice is really helping me strive in life, thank you man.
I needed to hear this because this past Sunday my dog Princess got sick and after a visit at the vet we had to decide to put her down. We decided to end her suffering. Lately I haven't been able to handle not coming home to her. But I have been getting better and think it has been in part because of my emotional release I have been doing. When I am home and remember her i cry. Whether that is for a few minutes or an hour I have been letting myself do it. Now I got some reassurance that it is beneficial to do so and now feel better doing so when I need to
Thanks Boogie.
Boogie,
Writing this comment from the treadmill at the gym right now, which is a triumph for me today, because a little over an hour ago I was laying in bed after a tough day at work (and an overall tough 2018 so far), and accepting the fact that rather than be productive on my Wednesday evening, I was just going to have a depressive episode and take a nap.
I know you probably know as well as anyone that carrying any day's positive momentum into another day often doesn't go as conveniently as we'd like...
... but today had no momentum for me to even carry into tonight until watching this.
And while a trip to the gym isn't much, it's at least putting in a little work toward a better me. And your message today gave me that push to make today a better today than I otherwise would have had.
And I felt that was certainly worth expressing some gratitude and appreciation toward you today.
Cheers brother!

i rate this video a dog & reflection of man in door/10
Boogie, this was exactly what I needed. This was profound. Thank you so much for sharing.
9:21in the glass door, either you have dog shepherd ghosts or!!! IM GLAD YOU HAVE SOME SUPPORT HANGING AROUND!!
I think that was his flat mate
Back Road he has a roommate that and he walking Sammy a lot
It was his flat mate and his dog sammy
Thanks Boogie this was great!
I went through a divorce 5 years ago and I worked really hard to improve myself almost immediately after signing the papers. But I didn't give myself enough time to grieve the loss, which was a huge mistake! I got very depressed got into video gaming way too much (and drinking) because I just couldn't handle the despair. Strangely enough this cycle continued a couple of times, each time becoming more bearable. It gets better man! Very admirable that you recognize that personal problems aren't something to ignore forever - they must be confronted.
It’s definitely not easy to work on these thing. I myself am going through very intense therapy and have been working on it for about 3 years and it’s so hard and sometimes I think I should just stop trying to fix myself but I keep going.. I’ve recently been reading a book called (the courage to heal)
and it’s been helping a lot. Everybody is different so I don’t know if it will help you but I think it’s worth a try. Love you man and I always look up to you. It’s like you’re my brother from another mother. I wish you were my brother cuz I think you would have protected me in like my real brothers
Thanks boogie, I’m 14 and have an anxiety disorder. You have really been helpful to me working through it as you do.
Positive outlook. Unhapiness is not permanent, it "will" go away, you "will" be happy and you're not dead. I myself struggle with metal health (obbsessive thoughts and anxiety disorders). Easy for thought to carry you away, imagination, catastrophizing. We have to focus on the "now", the reality in front of us, and always with the knowledge that you "will" have happy times ahead and always will and the sad things are temporary and not always confirmed to happen, but happiness is always confirmed as it is a part of life, a default we live by and something we seek out. We always enjoy "something". Enjoying life for it's own sake and experiances is part of the meaning of life it's self. It's simple yet profound at the same time. I try to see life as a constant stream of joy and contentment, that just sometimes gets a few roadblocks that we just learn to hop over now and again.
Rules for thought:
Does my current thought pose a real threat to my current reality?
Do I have absolute proof of my current fearful thought being true?
Is my worrying productive? Or is it meaningless rumination?
If my thoughts do not pose a real threat to my current reality, is it worth hanging on to them or paying attention to them?
If there is a genuine worry, is there anything I can do "right now?" Does worry achieve anything or change that future prospect? Or does it serve to only aggravate my present state?
If I can do something in preperaion for a "confirmed" worry, I do what I can to the most practical and realistic of ability and then leave, any further worry or thought is not productive.

This video really hits home for me...my wife just moved out a few days ago, and took out two kids with her. I've been in a really funky place since she left...I feel as though I've lost part of myself. Thank you so much for addressing this topic. It really means a lot.
Dear god did this hit hard and is so relevant in my life at the moment, years of bullshit has finally put a crack in the haul and I’m starting to have to fix it instead pushing it away.
Thanks. I like these videos. Its inspirational. Its nice to watch them when things seem to be going really bad in life.
I started watching your videos a while back after the Mountain Dew Francis video, but I’ve stuck around because of videos like this.
Keep it going buddy. Good luck with everything.
Great video boogie im really liking you're mindset now and that's the type of mentality i needed to lose over 120 lbs,
unfortunately gained a lot back but i know i can come back and be stronger than ever. Keep it up man.
Absolutely love this series of videos you're making, it's inspiring. Was also a huge fan of rescue me when it originally aired was sad to see it go.
Thankyou Boogie because I’m seen as different and weird in my school the only friends I have are my Xbox friends I have about 400 on Xbox but in real life I have anxiety issues I’m socially awkward especially around the girl I like so many rumours have been said about me in school I’m in year 9 high school I’m not sure how it goes in America because I’m from England but yea I’m quite overweight for my age of 13 and the nerdy awkward heavy metal kid but you inspire me boogie I share a few problems you have wich is why you inspire me so much your one of my favourites along with AGP and Jacksepticeye thankyou so much Boogie for making me smile and Boogie I GOT YOUR MTN DEWWWW😂 rock on man we love you dude all the way🤘🏻
You're doin so well and you're looking so much healthier, and you seem alot happier in yourself with your progress.
Boogie this video came out at just the right time for me. I have been going threw some hard times lately and I have had some bad thoughts in the line of depprison but this video made me look at not being ok in a different view. Thank you
I'll gladly watch this again, being at the lowest part in my life right now. It's strangely uplifting.
Big inspiration boogie, it's nice to see someone of your caliber with lots of veiwers and such using the power you have to do good things. Thank you
Boogie we have a lot of similarities with depression as well as having the Gastric Bypass surgery mine was in August. I have not started with a therapist for my issues though (I know I need to soon) listening to you makes me think it could really help. I just wanted to say I look forward to your “rambling” videos and I admire your courage and strength to keep going and posting your videos. Thank you for the inspiration you rock!!
Glad you're doing better overall, and it really is ok to have days that you're not ok. The important thing is that you're moving forward consistently.
Thanks boogie. Sorry I haven't been watching as much lately. I really needed this today. I know it's been over a month already but I hope things are looking even just a tiny bit better for you in your head.
Yeah yeah your doing life buddy so awesome to see and thanks for suiting up and sharing. In my experience being of service, as intimately of possible, will get you out of your head everytime. That's what life's about.
*This time it’s in my subscription feed* 👍
My aunt had the same surgery as you, as I learned recently. That came as a shock to me, since she looks like she was never overweight in her life. That makes me think that you’ll do great, keep working hard, boogie!
