You’re an awesome person and when I see your tolerance for people in chat and how polite and nice you are before telling someone to leave, it tells ALL OF US that you are an amazing human being. Your willingness to always help others and answer the simplest questions is great. I’m a dad of a 12 month old, about your age, past with abuse. I think you’re a great role model for the community of RUclips as well as for myself. To see someone make positive content and not ever engage in negative discourse and always maintain a positive attitude on stream is pretty impressive. Be proud of yourself -Eric PS: Branch out just in a small way (we all love Civ) to Victoria 3 or anything else that is essentially 4x or strategy as we all love the explanations of how it all works.
You know I'm always sending all the ❤️ GM. You're a bright star of good and honest and decent and you bring me and lots of others so much joy. Hurts to hear that you struggle to bring that same sunshine to yourself at times, but your openess in sharing your journey is admirable and inspiring (and in my case, helpful for navigating my own similar tendencies and experiences). Much love now and always.
Great to see you ❤ love your content and we appreciate your openness about your journey. Sharing like this is exactly how we break down these social barriers around mental issues.
Hey man... I'm not a subscriber, but I've watched a lot of your Civ 6 content. Just came to say that, in the giant poison swamp that is the internet and youtube, you are one of the few people that truly comes across as a genuinely nice and honest person. And that translates to your community... while I'm sure there are some, I don't remember ever seeing a comment that is either vitriolic, or someone insult another commenter, etc. Keep up the good work, both in content creation and with your self-improvement, and be happy and proud that you have created one of the few truly positive communities on RUclips.
One day at a time, TGM. My wife has anxiety issues, so I know that it is tough dealing with mental health. Hope your road to recovery is paved with good people, and I know that those of us in your community will still be here when you need to take your long breaks. It's ok. Being well mentally is the most important thing.
Thank you for your openness and vulnerability in this video. I have always loved your content as a longtime Civ gamer so to see you create content is always exciting for me man. No matter the consistency I hope you can create what’s makes you happy because it makes us fans of yours happy too! Your enthusiasm for the game and your passion is contagious! You’re a great dude and your hair looks awesome. Hope you feel better and content in your future along your therapy journey! You rock man
Love you man! On demand content creation is tough, and when you're not feeling it it becomes impossible. You're doing the right thing by taking care of yourself first and foremost. The streams will become easier and more natural as you continue to find peace. We'll always be here for you!! And as others have said, we don't want a typical streamer - we want TGM.
TGM I’m glad you were able to find a therapist who can help you unpack the anxiety and trauma you have been going through. I also commend your bravery for going through with that first appointment. Just take it one day at a time. I will be praying for you.
Speaking of trauma, for me it was hearing viva la quince brigada in civ 5 when isabella declares… no trucks, no tanks running out of ammo, the whole thing ay Carmela…
Please don't feel bad about not streaming when you're down. You don't need to punish yourself for that. Most people understand why you wouldn't stream and upload when they know the reason. All the best to you!
Much respect to you - talking from your own perspective in a clear and honest way is tough. Saying it loud makes it real for me, so I imagine it might be the same for you. Crossing fingers for your improvement! Don't feel bad about us - we know what to expect. Things will take time (speaking from experience), but you've stacked the deck in your favor so I think it'll all turn out all right.
I find this depressing...you being levels above me with Civ for so many years while having to deal with this. Imagine what you'll be able to achieve as you get better and better. Enjoy the process and take as many breaks as you need...really, it does help me too with my supposed catching up Civ wise.
We love you TGM! Take your time brother, your Civ content is the best on RUclips! Sorry I'm not part of your Twitch community...I'm not that techy (lol). But, I'm always happy when I see you've posted content here on RUclips. Stay well. }:o)
tgm had a "lifetime of bad behaviour"? heh. i somehow doubt its as bad as that implies. especially by comparison to other successful streamers. jokes aside, glad you are feeling better, and that the new meds are working/helping.

Glad to hear you've been playing guitar again.
If you ever want to chat about music, I am always happy to do so!
