Think it’s very brave for you to talk about those feelings on camera, can’t speak too much from experience but surrounding yourselves with loved ones and friends seems to make you very happy, so cherish that time!
The counsilling sessions will be great for you Matt, they've helped me a lot over the last few months. I wish you all the health and happiness brother!
Appreciate you getting on camera and talking about how you really feel, genuinely inspires me as a man to talk about what's going on. You're a good bloke and I wish you all the best. Congrats on the anniversary fella 👍
Just want to encourage you to keep going, although things get tough and I know it sounds cliche but thing sget better I know that from experience. My hope is that the counselling will help you process the thing in your head. Mad respect for you that you share how things really are, and be genuine with your audience. Keep the good work up pal love the channel! O and happy anniversary too
Smiv mate I don’t usually drop comments but watching you week after week being so authentic and honest is just the most inspiring thing. You’re on your own journey mate and these tough times will only make you stronger. Through showing the highs and the lows you are helping so many people and I know for a fact that you can fight this battle and win, maybe not today, or this week, month or this year but you will get through this and come out on the other side stronger having inspired thousands of people feeling similar to how you feel right now. You have achieved so much in your life often against all odds and this period of your life will be no different. Love from an Arsenal fan. ♥️
Hi Matt, recently went through a bit of a mental barrier, I was I’ll every other week, I started to enjoy less things. I got into a cycle of having some sad dark thoughts. Watching the vids really helped and numbed the pain I guess. I know you have had some tough days aswell so I just wanted to say thanks, you do more than you know.
Talking about your low days Matt is what is going to help you fight this battle. Wish more of us men actually talked about our mental health - we would be in better condition. All the best mate with your new venture. Cheers from Canada
Wishing you all the very best mate. Am also about to start some therapy sessions myself through work as have been experiencing similar feelings. Hoping they will help. Just wanted to also say your videos really help and you do a fantastic job with all of them. See you on the road! 🙂
love that your talking about how you are feeling mate, you do what you feel comfortable with and whenever you pick up that camera and upload to the channel people will support you
Really hope everything goes your way, Smiv. Your'e a talented lad with a great family and a cracking group of friends around you. Things will pull together and start to look up for you soon, i'm sure.
Mate, you’re doing an amazing job and I wish you all the success in the world. You and the family deserve it. Keep being you mate and good things will happen.
We did our wedding on the cheap too. Got married in a public park overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Didn't need a permit because we didn't have seats and we had a reception at a restaurant and we picked up the tab. It wasn't much but it had the people who mattered most there, it was an awesome day and wouldn't do it over again. Happy Anniversary to you guys! I also agree that more men need and should talk about mental health.
I appreciate the way you're open an your mental health. I know it can be easy to hide it away, especially as a man. Keep up your work, both professionally and personally, and we'll be right there with you! Also, happy anniversary!
Wishing you a belated happy anniversary ❤️ Really appreciate you being so candid and honest about your mental health. More people experience this than you might realise and it’s so helpful (speaking for myself). Giving you strength & support!
Your one bridge east of London bridge buddy, that’s tower bridge! Happy anniversary to you both! May there be many many more years of happiness to come for you both! 😀
Don’t apologise for not feeling up to filming every day. Look after yourself. Health comes first. Hope you start feeling better soon and the family are doing well 🧡🖤
Smiv, hang in there buddy. I have had depression for 30+ years, good days and bad days. Recognise it for what it is and know there is a good day around the corner. You have a strong relationsip and a beautiful Daughter, that will help. Hope the counselling helps to. BTW, really not unusual for men in 20s and 30s whose parents separated.
Afternoon SMIV, Not sure you read all of your comments as you get a bundle. Firstly, I would like to see that your videos are absolutely top drawer. The editing and content are simply the best on RUclips and you should be extremely proud of what you do. Both my son and I are avid viewers of the OTR series. Secondly, Happy Anniversary to you and your beautiful wife. The way you describe each other is something very special and you obviously have a relationship of support and care. That can never be underestimated. You both seem to have so much affection for each other and your wonderful little girl. It’s infectious. Thirdly, whether you know it or not, the fact that you can speak openly and honestly about your feelings will be an inspiration to many. I speak to so many that have kept their thoughts to themselves and only began to manage them after speaking about them. You are encouraging men and women to speak up and that is something very noble. There is a reason why the biggest killer of men under 40 is suicide. We all need to talk. Everyone’s problems are the biggest problem to them and no one is better than anyone else. On a lighter note, I do want to know how you balance talking to the camera whilst driving. I get asked this question a lot on my channel and just wondered if you had the same thoughts. Keep up the good work and good luck in your future endeavours. Shame about being a Spurs fan, you can’t have it all. All the best from a Millwall fan.
Keep strong Smiv. Those sessions will help and they will just be a small part of your whole journey through life. They're a necessary evil, just like washing up.
My Mum & Dads Anniversary 10/09/57 , Congrats to you both. Smiths in Essex & you go to the 1 in London, the views are much better i have to admit. Could we have a Fish Finger & brown sauce sandwich please 👍
Instead of doing your 5k because I know you like having something to beat why not see how much you can do in 20-25 minutes and then try and beat that so you do more in the same time rather than the same in less time
If you ran 3 miles in the Marine Corps under 18 minutes you would get maximum points for that part of you PFT. Good job on your time and I suppose a possible career change... think you'd have to be a US citizen but then again the Royal Marines would take you. BTW I love your on the road videos but also enjoy these maybe a little more... been to London one time last year and loved it but could not get a real feel for how British folks are... these videos give an insight. I hope you know you are not alone with your depression/anxiety (possibly the same thing). You know some days I just have to get up and get moving and accept that I am sad for the day... I suppose I am blessed for it always just seems to be blues for just a day. I don't know counseling, medication and really trying to take care of the physical health makes it better. I did not have much of a break through until I was 38 so you are doing great working on it now... trust me it will get better.
I recently acknowledged that I needed help pal, went to the doctors and started on AD’s. Booked counselling sessions but unfortunately panicked and didn’t go, stopped taking my medication and I went back to square one. Please go to counselling mate and you will get better. You are stronger then me
My first reaction was "how can Smiv be depressed when he has a beautiful family, nice house and career etc". But depression isn't like that, it can affect anyone, no matter how great their life is. It's important we keep talking about mental health because as a society we need a much greater understanding, to move away from this lazy "snap out of it" or "cheer up" mindset.
More men that talk about mental health the better, cheers mate.
Think it’s very brave for you to talk about those feelings on camera, can’t speak too much from experience but surrounding yourselves with loved ones and friends seems to make you very happy, so cherish that time!
Mate don't be sorry about not filming instead thanks for putting this out - love the content and appreciate the honesty
As u say mate there’s always light at the end of the tunnel👊🏿👊🏿
jim nicholson fuck off mate, don’t make sick jokes
Your a lucky man Smiv lad.
Congrats to the pair of you on your anniversary

The counsilling sessions will be great for you Matt, they've helped me a lot over the last few months. I wish you all the health and happiness brother!

I also agree that more men need and should talk about mental health.
Your not the only one going through it mate! Many many men go through mental health issues and your one helping others to speak out!
I appreciate the way you're open an your mental health. I know it can be easy to hide it away, especially as a man. Keep up your work, both professionally and personally, and we'll be right there with you!

Happy anniversary you two, from a big fan from Bournemouth, on the road is great.
Sharan chose brilliantly not just with her husband but the food aswell all things I would of gone with
If you need to cry just cry it releases alot of stress and built up frustration. It's the holding it in which is worse, just stick on E. T does me.
Happy Anniversary Both Of You you are superb parents to Mia 😊
Smiv you are an legend mate every day I can’t wait for the next video to come out! Keep on doing what you are doing
Smiv, hang in there buddy. I have had depression for 30+ years, good days and bad days. Recognise it for what it is and know there is a good day around the corner.

Could we have a Fish Finger & brown sauce sandwich please 👍
Congratulations to you and Sha, Mia is the cutest thing.
I cant help but wish for such a healthy relationship like you and sharan have when im older🤞🏼
Great vid Smiv. Head up
Instead of doing your 5k because I know you like having something to beat why not see how much you can do in 20-25 minutes and then try and beat that so you do more in the same time rather than the same in less time
This! Like it 👌🏻
Your a good man smiv mate.
Congratulations on the milestone mate
Happy anniversary to you both

Happy anniversary smiv lad
Happy anniversary

I recently acknowledged that I needed help pal, went to the doctors and started on AD’s. Booked counselling sessions but unfortunately panicked and didn’t go, stopped taking my medication and I went back to square one. Please go to counselling mate and you will get better. You are stronger then me
Love the vids smiv, keep it up man❤️
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Legend
You definitely scored there mate. 5 out of 5 with the missus🤣👀
My first reaction was "how can Smiv be depressed when he has a beautiful family, nice house and career etc". But depression isn't like that, it can affect anyone, no matter how great their life is. It's important we keep talking about mental health because as a society we need a much greater understanding, to move away from this lazy "snap out of it" or "cheer up" mindset.
Love it Smiv
It's not a sail boat, Smiv, it's a laughing crying emoji...
