After getting a Switch, my husband asked me if I watch the 'long hair Nintendo dude' on youtube, and it was funny because we were both subscribed to you at the same time without knowing. You have a beautiful energy! I like your content! There's more people that support that those that hate you for no reason!!
@@jarrettlone Hello fellow Jarrett..... I got nothing else to say....but felt like writing this because you have the same name as me......... :P (Also somewhat bored.)
@Alan bruh you literally responded at a inspirational comment that's supposed to help people with depression, just to say you don't like fortnite.... NO ONE CARES!
This was so genuine. The lack of cuts and additional editing made it even better and showed how you really feel and want to help others in a similar situation.
Hey, I’m 58, been playing video games since they were invented. I have a wonderful wife and 2 wonderful girls. I watch lots of game videos on RUclips and subscribe to your Chanel. I love you buddy, you always make me smile with your reviews and enthusiasm. Take care of yourself. 😊
I found the dude hes attacking not only wood but all you guys you metal Jesus rocks rg the game chasers on his channel saying you all are frauds and scam ppl and paid to give good opinions about stuff that are not even good products pretty much anyone in the gaming community and calls them e beggers

@CasperMelchiorBalthasar yes but some people take care of themselves by helping others.. Go to a school counselor, a teacher, or a trusted adult.. You can get in contact with people that can help you online too..
I'm just a random internet person to you, and honestly no one will probably read this, but I relate on sooo many levels. 1. I have depression, severe anxiety/panic and possibly other disorders stemming from a wrecked childhood. My Dad treated me like a disease. He called me cancer, ripped my pictures, threw itching powder in my clothes, threw quarters in the dryer to wake me up and beat me up multiple times. He was un-diagnosed bi-polar. Loved my Mom, but she threatened suicide every other day. The cops were at my house once a week. I still can't have butcher knives in the house because they remind me of my mom chasing my dad with a butcher knife every week or holding one to her wrist and crying out to her dead father. 2. I found a wonderful woman - finally - and we've been married for 10 years. 3. I also needed a creative outlet. I was in a band that had music played on the biggest rock station in Cincinnati. It fizzled out though. So, back to retail work for me. I don't mind it though. I have Christ, I have a real family and I have my games. :)
I know you don’t know me, and I don’t know you, but I just want to say that I love you. I love you as a person, and I love you for being able to get through what you did. You are amazing. Never give up. Best wishes, Al.
This video is almost 3yrs old and it's my first time seeing it. Just gotta say I really needed this today♥️🙌 Thanks for being so vulnerable with us, proud of ya Wood.
Lucas, legit I cried reading this comment. The reason why I haven't killed myself yet is because I know that our presence, however small, could be a big blessing to others. To me, that's your comment. Thank you.
@en4ru shut up you obviously don't understand the crap they're going through, go and watch some brainless reaction channel, I'm sure you can understand that.
As someone who suffers with an anxiety disorder, and has a partner with severe depression and suicidal thoughts, we thank you for this video. there needs to be more people like you spreading awareness of this. I am in the uk so hopefully those charities in the states will share their research here to help us.
You are not stupid for crying. That is Real! God blessed you with Kim! Truly is a blessing! Ever since my brother died in 2016 I have been so depressed. I can't seem to get out of this funk. I have more respect for you now for doing this. I know this is not easy. 👍👍
When I bought a switch for my girlfriend, she looked on youtube for game recommendations and such. She introduced your channel to me, and we started watching your videos together. So in a way, your channel brought us closer together. And thank you for that. I hope you and Kim stay safe, and trolls just come to their senses to stop. Looking forward to the livestream on Monday! I'll see you there.
This. 110%. You should absolutely report this to RUclips, and your local authorities. These kinds of specific threats, in conjunction with the suggestion that they are trying to find out where you live, takes this beyond mere Internet bullying and crosses the line into much more serious territory.
I've only been watching you for around a year and I doubt you will be reading this but family isnt who gave birth to you and is blood related it is the people who surround we with love,care, and happiness, And you have provided that to half a million people and that is amazing and this community is a big happy family
When he was talking about Kim I was crying I know you will forever be together and I get insecure lots at school and I don’t tell people I fell horrible. knowing my fav RUclipsr felt the same made me feel bettter and less alone you bring a smile to my face every time I watch your content TY!
i understand you wanna help us out and its cool but sometimes like i say healers sometimes need some healing too we here for ya man your a great youtuber you help me out on my days just by watching anything you upload from top ten to best seller and stuff
I had my depressed period as wel. It got so bad that when I was riding my bike by some train rails I was thinking isn't it better to go wait on a train and jump in front of it. I was so happy with one moment in that time and that was doing something fun with people that sorta cared for me. That really kept me motivated. After I talked to a professional about it it is going way better now. Im happy now.
I did not know this about you, as I'm mostly on RUclips here. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. It takes a lot to be so open about it. Thank you for speaking out about it. I share my experiences with everyone I can, to normalize it I guess. To make people that are silently suffering, maybe open up. Thank you.
I lost it at "Kim is everything"...i shed a tear...i think the same about my wife, she is everything to me and i too suffer from deppression and anxiety, panickattacks and she has always been there with me through it. I understand you Wood, but this too shall pass!
I understand your pain, and want to thank you for making such a meaningful video that deviates from your normal content. In our society this is not talked about enough. Thank you for opening up and sharing with thousands of people and I wish you continuous happiness.
✊✊✊ Yes. I too suffered for years. Got my own demons to fight. But we're not in it alone. No family is perfect... Mine can be difficult as everyone has bad days and what not (difference of opinion too). But it sucks to hear that Woody had to deal with people like them. I'm glad he's open about it. It feels so much better to tell someone, the right people what is going on in your life in your mind.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I needed to hear that. I’ve been a prisoner of my bed for a few weeks, been in a paralyzing depression since my mom passed. I think that’s great advice and I’m gonna take it.
As he says gotta keep on moving, otherwise depression will rise and destroy an individual. We are designed to move and be active with sunlight that brightens up the day.
I love you wood and Kim your channel is amazing and makes my day your definitely not alone. ❤️❤️❤️ And I'm so happy you found your kim. Keep up the amazing work.
I have depression too. And I'm 11......... My mum has tried to kill her self 4 time luckily failed, and each time she was is hospital for weeks one of them she was in there for 3 months. I've never met my dad. My mum swears alot my mum got me into some guy she was talking to on POF and it turns out he was fake and my mum has been assaulted as well and me and my mum have such a great bond. 🙂 You just have to think of the good things.
It’ll all be okay. It always gets better, I can promise it. You seem like a very strong individual who can be strong not only for yourself, but for your mom. Give her a drawing, make her some toast, small little gestures. Look forwards to seeing friends and family, it’s how I got through my severe depression in freshman year of high school 💙
As soon as you get the chance, got talk to your mom. Give her a huge hug, tell her what she means to you and how important she is. Take time every day to just talk. You guys can talk about your concerns and have an outlet. It will be greatly beneficial for both of you. Stay strong everyday, and keep yourself happy.
he dude I hope you and your mum continue to have a fantastic bond and I hope she won't try to commit suicide.. try to convince her to seek help, show her that you care and give her cuddles once in a while... if you already do these then just keep doing it and some day she'll realise
When it comes to people disliking personal videos I always thought that those people were just idiots who were just acting like trolls for attention but now I do think that some of those people who dislike personal videos do it simply because they don’t want to see those types of videos on RUclips. RUclips is easily up there with Facebook for being the most popular form of social media or piece of digital entertainment in the world and because of its popularity it can be weird sometimes to see someone make a public video about there own personal issues because a lot of us would rather like to talk about our personal problems with either a close loved one(family or friends) or we would talk to someone who is professional trained to give advice and to listen over making a video that would be viewed by random strangers. I do give RUclips creators props for talking about their personal issues with there audience because it shows just how much the creator trusts his/her fan base but at the same time I can understand why people would prefer if they kept that stuff private, yes there are idiots who dislike these types of videos for attention but at the end of the day we all have personal stuff going on in our lives that we would like to stay private or keep to ourselves till we feel comfortable to talk about it.
Truth be told this is refreshing. I'm so sick of the smiling, perfect life Instagram culture. I'm glad you're taking the time to be open about this. I have it too, major depression and anxiety. Good job bro!
Thats why i deleted facebook man, bunch of fake people using their profiles just to show off their best parts of life and just trying to act famous. Just know things get better man.
@@snuggie1849 One of the reasons why i don't have snapchat, instagram, and facebook. Twitter is just filled with political nonsense which i enjoy so i'll be keeping that.
From someone who came from a similar background as yourself Wood. I’m beyond proud of you for being able to finally find that support system and love you’ve always deserved. I too suffer from depression and anxiety on a daily bases and I found that being able to talk about it has helped me tons. Thank You for sharing something so personal. Because of that you have helped so many. You truly are an inspiration and I hope for only the best for you and for Kim as well.
You’re one of my favourite youtubers and you’re so brave telling about your past in this way. You deserve the best in life. Much love brother, stay strong
i almost commit suicide, but then i found a reason to live...that reason was my best friend, Natalia...but she commited suicide years ago. so i felt so alone, my whole world crumbled and i got stucked in a very dark place in my mind...but then i realized that i had to fight for my own, be my own reason to be alive and to accomplish everthing i want. So i made her a promise over her tomb, to live for her and for me. Me agains the world....and i dont think they can stop me. i loved your video, i felt EVERY WORD OF IT cuss i was in the same situation.
You do not owe these terrible people any kind of explanations. I admire that you are able to stand up to these bullies publicly. And always remember that YOU are not alone. I’ve only been watching you for a short time, but I can already tell how genuine and caring you are. Keep doing what you do. You are a rockstar!
I know in a bit late to this video. But I've struggled with depression my whole life. At the end of each long day I always watch your videos. You never fail to make me smile after every long and dreadful day. Please keep doing your best and keeping people happy. At times I feel like killing myself you remind me there is so much to live for. People can agree we are all in debt not just to you but all the creators spreading awareness. Watching your channel makes me so happy and wanting to live. Thank you so much for being you. Because of that I handle my depression better. We love you keep doing awesome
This is probably the most heartfelt video I’ve ever seen. I truly believe that Wood is amazing at what he does and deserves minimal to no hate. Take care!
Hey wood I know this my not mean much but me and my wife Love you videos with Kim we think you guys are an adorable couple the videos where get each other wacky things brighten up our day my wife also suffers from depression and anxiety and watching your videos really help her and I want to thank you for that and I wish the best for you and Kim May your heart be your guiding key
I know I'm 9 months late, but after seeing this video, I'm an instant subscriber. As another person who struggles with depression (been getting help from doctors and therapists for almost 20 years) it's always great to see people helping others with this issue. I am so sorry people are so cruel to you as horrible to your wife for really pathetic and obviously insecure reasons. It shows more about them than it does you. I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you for this video, and thank you for raising over 40,000 for those charities. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
I understand how you feel, but I think wanting to know who these people are is missing the point. They benefit from views and want the attention, they wouldn't be doing what they are otherwise, so I'm in favor of not naming the horses. Anyways, I didn't want to sound harsh, much love from Brazil!
Glad you found someone who makes you happy and gives you meaning and you're doing so well. I just turned 34 and I'm still in a worse state than you were as far as the depression, anxiety, hopelessness and not caring about my health or what happens to me and I can barely take care of myself. Also don't have any friends or anyone to talk to besides my cat. Seeing you with Kim and being so successful is nice to see. Oh also loving your vids. Been binging them lol it helps with my mental health issues.
hey man i know i dont have to do anything with this i dont have depression at least not on paper but hey, treasure ur time with people or your cat, keep it up and maybe something good will happen, at least thats what they say but theres such a low chance someone or something will happen out of the blue u have to put in the afford if u want change i feel comfortable in being sad and suicidal and its scary but u have to break out somehow cause if not nothing will change. Anyway im being selfish here so if u find how to break out pls tell me luv ya ❤️
Hey man, absolutely love your channel. Part of that love comes from your personality and enthusiasm. I run a podcast dedicated to all things nerd culture and I want you to know, we will be supporting your efforts now and in the future. You're a great dude for wanting to give back and we applaud you for it. Keep it up man!
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve suffered mental emotional abuse and I suffer from anxiety and depression too, so I know how it feels. Continue to do what you love and spread joy to the world. Your content is incredible. You have everyone’s support.
Wood... You know we are all with you, I want you to know, as a sub from 20K, that you are not a failure, or a bad person... You are one of the best creators I know, you are funny, clever, and an inspiration not just for me, but for half a million people, I know that maybe you struggle letting stuff be, you can count on us every single moment that you need it! You know we love you Wood! I hope you feel better, and always remember, we are here! Thanks so much for everything you do, thanks for being you!
Wood, you are the best content creator out there! Your entire fan base (over 500k now🤯), we are all here for you. We love you as much as we love your videos! Sending prayers your way man👊!
I have depression and anxiety.. Trying my best to beat it naturally.. It's hard. Very hard.. It prevents me from playing video games and doing other things I used to enjoy doing...
I don’t think I can comment on depression since I have always just felt numb to feelings since I was young which keeps me feeling calm more than happy or sad. I did want to say though that I have met ppl with depression and it is hard to see, and even harder to know how to help them in a way that can actually help. I honestly appreciate all the help and light you bring to this topic that most try hard to avoid. I have just found your channel a couple of days ago and somehow I have watched so many of your vids already and I do see how watching this channel makes you happy and just feel better overall. Best wishes for you and your wife. ❣️
@@dargelov I know, you won't believe a thing I say so just look up "Wood hawker exposed" and you'll see. This guy has scammed children, made false accusations and he's faking depression for wiews. If you want to go more in depth watch the videos talking about it.
@@doby8544 Is the world black and white? Or full of colors in between? Can evil turn to good in the end? Can good turn to evil? Many people believe him so whether he is good or evil they don't care because they get something out of it. Idk if he is good or evil, he is human, humans are flawed. We are evil by ignorance everyday. So I can only say that I hope that he keeps spreading good feelings and positivity and learns from his mistakes like we all do.
@@doby8544 You're so deluded. Have _you_ looked up 'Wood Hawker exposed'? Because all I see is two videos from one guy (Darius Truxton) and considering this guy says depression and ADHD are made up conditions, his opinion holds no weight whatsoever
Sometimes, life will kick you around, but sooner or later, you realize you’re not just a survivor. You’re a warrior, and you’re stronger than anything life throws your way.
No I love you and I always rely on you for good switch games recommendations and you’re great person and I love you’re channel and not because you play games but because you are nice funny and just a great person. I love you and never give up on what you love ❤️

I'm just a random internet person to you, and honestly no one will probably read this, but I relate on sooo many levels.
1. I have depression, severe anxiety/panic and possibly other disorders stemming from a wrecked childhood. My Dad treated me like a disease. He called me cancer, ripped my pictures, threw itching powder in my clothes, threw quarters in the dryer to wake me up and beat me up multiple times. He was un-diagnosed bi-polar.
Loved my Mom, but she threatened suicide every other day. The cops were at my house once a week. I still can't have butcher knives in the house because they remind me of my mom chasing my dad with a butcher knife every week or holding one to her wrist and crying out to her dead father.
2. I found a wonderful woman - finally - and we've been married for 10 years.
3. I also needed a creative outlet. I was in a band that had music played on the biggest rock station in Cincinnati. It fizzled out though. So, back to retail work for me. I don't mind it though. I have Christ, I have a real family and I have my games. :)
I know you don’t know me, and I don’t know you, but I just want to say that I love you. I love you as a person, and I love you for being able to get through what you did. You are amazing. Never give up. Best wishes, Al.

Lucas, legit I cried reading this comment. The reason why I haven't killed myself yet is because I know that our presence, however small, could be a big blessing to others. To me, that's your comment. Thank you.
It's ok to cry bro your not stupid we you're fans love you
pokemon nintendocatcher I cant even cry anymore

@en4ru shut up you obviously don't understand the crap they're going through, go and watch some brainless reaction channel, I'm sure you can understand that.
As someone who suffers with an anxiety disorder, and has a partner with severe depression and suicidal thoughts, we thank you for this video. there needs to be more people like you spreading awareness of this. I am in the uk so hopefully those charities in the states will share their research here to help us.
Hopefully you actually become and overcome your sucidal thought also become better and happy
@@Equinoxsanity thank you. I am finally able to get help now for my anxiety, depression and PTSD.
it’s okay to cry, especially if its coming from the happiness in your heart 👌🏼💚

They are not human
They need to be removed forever.
When I bought a switch for my girlfriend, she looked on youtube for game recommendations and such. She introduced your channel to me, and we started watching your videos together. So in a way, your channel brought us closer together. And thank you for that. I hope you and Kim stay safe, and trolls just come to their senses to stop. Looking forward to the livestream on Monday! I'll see you there.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. I can’t help you because I’m only a 13 year old. But I hope that you and Kim will get through this and be safe.
Share the livestream with your friends. Share this video too. 13 year olds can be a force of change, don’t sell yourself short 😉.
Dan Williams I didn’t think about that when I wrote that comment. I ment more about donations but ur right. Thank you for reminding me about sharing.
I would contact the police about it if it is mostly one person, this sounds way past harassment.
This. 110%. You should absolutely report this to RUclips, and your local authorities. These kinds of specific threats, in conjunction with the suggestion that they are trying to find out where you live, takes this beyond mere Internet bullying and crosses the line into much more serious territory.

* Fall Down

It takes a stronger man to cry brother.. your channel is amazing and inspirational and i love it.. you are an amazing dude.
Look at it that way, you turned out to be a solid dude, despite your upbringing. Keep on doing what you like bro, nothing can stop you
rock solid
You and Kim are both beautiful people! I am a fairly new subscriber but you are a treat to watch. God bless!
Whenever you get sad, just remembered that there are so many people who care about you too, including myself.
I don't suffer depression or anything like that, but damn, this was a powerful video.
Yeah man
Made me tear up man
Good guy

Yup same here. I ly watched 1 vid abs then this one.
When he was talking about Kim I was crying I know you will forever be together and I get insecure lots at school and I don’t tell people I fell horrible. knowing my fav RUclipsr felt the same made me feel bettter and less alone you bring a smile to my face every time I watch your content TY!
i understand you wanna help us out
and its cool
but sometimes
like i say
healers sometimes need some healing too
we here for ya man
your a great youtuber
you help me out on my days just by watching anything you upload
from top ten to best seller and stuff
"Healers need healing too".. wish I could upvote this more than once. That's powerful.
"The Happiest people are almost always the saddest inside"
I can concur this personally.
This quote couldn't be further from the truth.
Comes from over trying to force it out.
It's because we deal with the darkness so you don't have to.
Thats a true fact
Thats true
I'm only 12 and I love your content you put a smile on my face
Who cares what your age is? It doesn't matter.
@@kflemonice but I'm 9 and I love his content... Means I'm smart. 😂
No one cares when you state your "age".
I had my depressed period as wel. It got so bad that when I was riding my bike by some train rails I was thinking isn't it better to go wait on a train and jump in front of it. I was so happy with one moment in that time and that was doing something fun with people that sorta cared for me. That really kept me motivated. After I talked to a professional about it it is going way better now. Im happy now.
This is the healthiest vengeance ever!
Thank you for your frank discussion about depression.
Honestly I can't put into words how proud I am of you to make this video, you seem like such a kind soul and I really wish the best for you.
Crying is a sign of strength man. I learned that after I lost my father years ago. Let it flow man.
Absolutely. The strength to not be afraid to show your feelings and instead face them
I did not know this about you, as I'm mostly on RUclips here. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. It takes a lot to be so open about it. Thank you for speaking out about it. I share my experiences with everyone I can, to normalize it I guess. To make people that are silently suffering, maybe open up. Thank you.
We love you man, keep up the great work, you should never feel alone, we're all with you man, supporting you till the end

I lost it at "Kim is everything"...i shed a tear...i think the same about my wife, she is everything to me and i too suffer from deppression and anxiety, panickattacks and she has always been there with me through it. I understand you Wood, but this too shall pass!
I understand your pain, and want to thank you for making such a meaningful video that deviates from your normal content. In our society this is not talked about enough. Thank you for opening up and sharing with thousands of people and I wish you continuous happiness.
There’s zero shame in reaching out and getting help. I fought depression for many years. Your not alone, we fight this invisible beast together.
✊✊✊
Yes. I too suffered for years.
Got my own demons to fight.
But we're not in it alone. No family is perfect... Mine can be difficult as everyone has bad days and what not (difference of opinion too). But it sucks to hear that Woody had to deal with people like them. I'm glad he's open about it. It feels so much better to tell someone, the right people what is going on in your life in your mind.
At this same time though, sometimes, bad things in life can help find true happiness.
Same dude. No shame at all.
Wolveblade there is shame in your head about getting help which sucks
The people with depression would feel shame which is really sad
Wood you'll always have us and if you feel that you need a break then everyone will understand. We all want you to be happy.
He said that he doesn’t want 2 quit yt bc it makes him happy. I’m not trying 2 be rude, just saying.
You made me start bawling man 😭 Most genuine person. I know I’m a year late to this but man I love you and you really inspire me!
dude same i am crying rn typing this comment
if your parents dont love you, we do. whenever it may be, Do not give up! You have an army of people that care for you.
It is a good way of getting rid of depression by helping others. Keep moving. Depression wants you to sit and do nothing. Keep moving.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I needed to hear that. I’ve been a prisoner of my bed for a few weeks, been in a paralyzing depression since my mom passed. I think that’s great advice and I’m gonna take it.
@@Ineptatpiano it took me a year to start getting over my mom. It's very hard but eventually you will start to feel better.
As he says gotta keep on moving, otherwise depression will rise and destroy an individual. We are designed to move and be active with sunlight that brightens up the day.
I love you wood and Kim your channel is amazing and makes my day your definitely not alone. ❤️❤️❤️ And I'm so happy you found your kim. Keep up the amazing work.
P.s. Kim sounds amazing and I’m glad you found each other ✨✨✨
You’re right. “Happiness is so goddamn important!” That line made me cry...
Every time you make a RUclips Video You make all Of us Happy
He sure does
Agreed
I have depression too. And I'm 11.........
My mum has tried to kill her self 4 time luckily failed, and each time she was is hospital for weeks one of them she was in there for 3 months. I've never met my dad. My mum swears alot my mum got me into some guy she was talking to on POF and it turns out he was fake and my mum has been assaulted as well and me and my mum have such a great bond. 🙂 You just have to think of the good things.
Stay strong man, u seem like u have a good heart and I'm sure everything will work out great for you if you just keep on being you ✌💪
It’ll all be okay. It always gets better, I can promise it. You seem like a very strong individual who can be strong not only for yourself, but for your mom. Give her a drawing, make her some toast, small little gestures. Look forwards to seeing friends and family, it’s how I got through my severe depression in freshman year of high school 💙
Dragon Lova it doesn’t get better for some people. trust me on that one.
As soon as you get the chance, got talk to your mom. Give her a huge hug, tell her what she means to you and how important she is. Take time every day to just talk. You guys can talk about your concerns and have an outlet. It will be greatly beneficial for both of you. Stay strong everyday, and keep yourself happy.
he dude I hope you and your mum continue to have a fantastic bond and I hope she won't try to commit suicide.. try to convince her to seek help, show her that you care and give her cuddles once in a while... if you already do these then just keep doing it and some day she'll realise
Why would anyone dislike this? That is so disrespectful.
People are bad sometimes... :/
@@papps4602 people are fucked up
People are *bots*
When it comes to people disliking personal videos I always thought that those people were just idiots who were just acting like trolls for attention but now I do think that some of those people who dislike personal videos do it simply because they don’t want to see those types of videos on RUclips. RUclips is easily up there with Facebook for being the most popular form of social media or piece of digital entertainment in the world and because of its popularity it can be weird sometimes to see someone make a public video about there own personal issues because a lot of us would rather like to talk about our personal problems with either a close loved one(family or friends) or we would talk to someone who is professional trained to give advice and to listen over making a video that would be viewed by random strangers. I do give RUclips creators props for talking about their personal issues with there audience because it shows just how much the creator trusts his/her fan base but at the same time I can understand why people would prefer if they kept that stuff private, yes there are idiots who dislike these types of videos for attention but at the end of the day we all have personal stuff going on in our lives that we would like to stay private or keep to ourselves till we feel comfortable to talk about it.
They’re going through the same things and don’t have the support/attention this guy is able to get
Man, i love you bro. God bless you. You're an amazing personality and i love your heart. Keep being REAL!
jesusloveschad on point.
Truth be told this is refreshing. I'm so sick of the smiling, perfect life Instagram culture. I'm glad you're taking the time to be open about this. I have it too, major depression and anxiety. Good job bro!
Anxiety is everywhere! D:

Thats why i deleted facebook man, bunch of fake people using their profiles just to show off their best parts of life and just trying to act famous. Just know things get better man.
Agreed, Facebook? More like Fakebook.
@@snuggie1849 One of the reasons why i don't have snapchat, instagram, and facebook. Twitter is just filled with political nonsense which i enjoy so i'll be keeping that.
Thanks for sharing this buddy. It took a lot of courage to make an uncut video like this. Thank you.
From someone who came from a similar background as yourself Wood. I’m beyond proud of you for being able to finally find that support system and love you’ve always deserved. I too suffer from depression and anxiety on a daily bases and I found that being able to talk about it has helped me tons. Thank You for sharing something so personal. Because of that you have helped so many. You truly are an inspiration and I hope for only the best for you and for Kim as well.
You’re one of my favourite youtubers and you’re so brave telling about your past in this way. You deserve the best in life. Much love brother, stay strong
I think your brave to talk about this openly.
Don’t let things take you down. Think of the great things you do now.
i almost commit suicide, but then i found a reason to live...that reason was my best friend, Natalia...but she commited suicide years ago. so i felt so alone, my whole world crumbled and i got stucked in a very dark place in my mind...but then i realized that i had to fight for my own, be my own reason to be alive and to accomplish everthing i want.
So i made her a promise over her tomb, to live for her and for me.
Me agains the world....and i dont think they can stop me.
i loved your video, i felt EVERY WORD OF IT cuss i was in the same situation.
That’s so heavy Ivan. Glad you’re still fighting. Sorry to hear about your friend.
I’m sure Natalia is so proud of you. Keep doing what you’re doing dude.
ty all :)

You do not owe these terrible people any kind of explanations. I admire that you are able to stand up to these bullies publicly. And always remember that YOU are not alone. I’ve only been watching you for a short time, but I can already tell how genuine and caring you are. Keep doing what you do. You are a rockstar!
Im straight but I started watching your videos because that hair....
Stayed for whats beyond that❤️

I know in a bit late to this video. But I've struggled with depression my whole life. At the end of each long day I always watch your videos. You never fail to make me smile after every long and dreadful day. Please keep doing your best and keeping people happy. At times I feel like killing myself you remind me there is so much to live for. People can agree we are all in debt not just to you but all the creators spreading awareness. Watching your channel makes me so happy and wanting to live. Thank you so much for being you. Because of that I handle my depression better. We love you keep doing awesome
This is probably the most heartfelt video I’ve ever seen. I truly believe that Wood is amazing at what he does and deserves minimal to no hate. Take care!
Whether they deserve it or not, they will get it anyways. And those dislikes don't always come from only haters.

Hugs are very important

I know I'm 9 months late, but after seeing this video, I'm an instant subscriber. As another person who struggles with depression (been getting help from doctors and therapists for almost 20 years) it's always great to see people helping others with this issue.
I am so sorry people are so cruel to you as horrible to your wife for really pathetic and obviously insecure reasons. It shows more about them than it does you.
I don't know if you'll read this, but thank you for this video, and thank you for raising over 40,000 for those charities. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
So down to earth and genuine. Your fan base loves you man
Who are the people making negative videos? That's a lot of misplaced energy towards hating a person .
Much love from South Australia
That's what I want to know.
I wouldn’t mind an address of those people to. I just wanna talk to them, that’s all.
I understand how you feel, but I think wanting to know who these people are is missing the point. They benefit from views and want the attention, they wouldn't be doing what they are otherwise, so I'm in favor of not naming the horses. Anyways, I didn't want to sound harsh, much love from Brazil!

Glad you found someone who makes you happy and gives you meaning and you're doing so well. I just turned 34 and I'm still in a worse state than you were as far as the depression, anxiety, hopelessness and not caring about my health or what happens to me and I can barely take care of myself. Also don't have any friends or anyone to talk to besides my cat. Seeing you with Kim and being so successful is nice to see.
Oh also loving your vids. Been binging them lol it helps with my mental health issues.
hey man i know i dont have to do anything with this i dont have depression at least not on paper but hey, treasure ur time with people or your cat, keep it up and maybe something good will happen, at least thats what they say but theres such a low chance someone or something will happen out of the blue u have to put in the afford if u want change i feel comfortable in being sad and suicidal and its scary but u have to break out somehow cause if not nothing will change. Anyway im being selfish here so if u find how to break out pls tell me luv ya ❤️

In my opinion the best thing you can do is working on your posture and working out.
I don’t think I can comment on depression since I have always just felt numb to feelings since I was young which keeps me feeling calm more than happy or sad. I did want to say though that I have met ppl with depression and it is hard to see, and even harder to know how to help them in a way that can actually help. I honestly appreciate all the help and light you bring to this topic that most try hard to avoid. I have just found your channel a couple of days ago and somehow I have watched so many of your vids already and I do see how watching this channel makes you happy and just feel better overall. Best wishes for you and your wife. ❣️
