3 Years ago I stopped uploading to RUclips and working as a Filmmaker/Photographer because I experienced severe Panic Attacks, Depression and Anxiety which completely took over my reality. Most of you didn't know why I left. After the hardest time of my life as a Creator and as a human being I wanted to create this Video to share my journey and speak out about the "other side" of Social Media and what was going on so maybe it helps someone out there who struggles in life the way I did. I need to re-enter life - And this is my close on this chapter of my life.
Shot on Canon R5 + 35mm 1.8 RF + 24-70mm 2.8 RF

People who don't understand your silence will never understand your words. For the rest this video is premium! ❤
better said than I could! thanks Ludwig
This is accurate and it depicts what I've been through with crippling anxiety.
so good to see you back creating man. this is incredible, thank you for opening up
this inspire me so much
Can’t believe how much I relate to this video . I’m so happy you feeling better ❤
*"Slowly, doing some baby steps day by day, but I got better"*
That's deep dude, fr.
I’m a psychologist and I deeply appreciated what you just did. Thanks for everyone out there
You ok? He was healthy and have good life, those advices are just distracting and shaming him for no reason at all.
Great to have you back man. sorry to hear about the mental struggle you’ve been through. Wishing you the best, amazing video 🙏
Great Fan of BENN TK... A viewer from ANDAMAN ISLANDS INDIA... we could provide you free accommodation at my Tourist homestay and travel guides from my side guaranteed. 🤝
I went through a funk in my mid 30's, when my son was 3 or 4. It lasted about 9 months. I had extreme anxiety. I became extremely afraid of dying. Sleep was my escape. The thing that got me out of it, was listening to alot of music that my parents listened to when I was a child. It helped me distract my mind. I was able to snap out of it. I'm actually the complete opposite now. When I get bad heartburn, sometimes I think, if this is it, I've had a decent life.
Mental health is a real thing and is so important to take care of it. Sometimes we hit the rock bottom and is important to recognize it and work on yourself. If you are passing through a difficult time… you are not alone 💚🌻
So stark man !
Nicht das Video und grading. Also das natürlich auch wie immer schon.
Doch wie du über alles gesprochen hast!
Und mentale Gesundheit ist aktuell wichtiger als jemals zu vor…
Ich hoffe das mehr Menschen dafür sensibilisiert werden!
Weiß garnicht was ich sagen soll
Ganz viele Gedanken in meinem Kopf!
Und einige Flashbacks von meiner Vergangenheit!
Ich drücke dir die Daumen das es für dich weiter bergauf geht 🙏🏻
Danke Daniel, bedeutet mir viel!
We are not alone man, we need to talk about these things more often and more naturally. Incredible video dude.
This hit deep.❤ happy to see you back!
thanks for making + sharing your art with us...
incredibly inspiring...
\m/
This really helps me vocalize my current place in life. It’s so difficult to explain, even to yourself, what you’re going through. Thank you for making this.
Respect for opening up so deeply!
I totally get your video... Been trying to recover from childhood trauma for almost a year now (tried meds, ect and ketamine - no improvement). Psychedelics showed me my childhood pain and trauma and root cause of my problems. Been doing IFS therapy on weekly basis, read dozens of books on PTSD/CPTSD, trauma, IFS, and lately on forgiveness (but that's tough one right now). Lifestyle: exercise almost daily, no caffeine in the afternoon, low sugar/fat/salt diet, good morning/evening routine, deleted Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, journalling, cold showers, low pressure job close to where I live, generally speaking managing stress better. Yet still, "I am not over the hill"... Getting there slowly...
You're absolutely right: it's the society/culture we've been living in that can shape us. Gabor Mate's upcoming book: The Myth of Normal :Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture should explain that very well.
Man this had me in tears, because it resonates so much. I've been battling with burnout for quite some time now. Sometimes I'm alright, and other times even the littlest of things can set me back big time. Having this idea that there is no time to think, and just be present. Everything around us goes by so fast and we feel this constant need of need of needing to excell and be the most productive as we can, but at what cost. I've started to see a therapist as well, and i must honestly say that it helps to just talk about whats going through you. Still in the beginning I feel of this recovery journey, but I honestly want to say thank you for this video and opening up
It’s crazy how so many creative individuals felt this exact crests and troughs in the past couple of years. Toxic people out, more intuitive, listening to your inner child in. Take care brother, good to see you again, keep on climbing, we are all with you. ❤
Oh man - that resonates so deeply! Irgendwie wusste ich in den letzten 2 Jahren, dass du mit deinem eigenem Zeug beschäftigt warst und Zeit für dich und deine Themen brauchtest. Kudos dafür, das alles hier auszurollen. Sending good vibes your way 🌈 Keep climbing
Danke Andreas!
@@cmg I have been through this hell & it was the heliest hell, I lost my Own self who I was in the deepest depression, Panic attacks, restlessness, Flight to fight mode 24x7 from 2020 October till august 2022, but I kept going through the hell by still making video, Outside no one have any idea what I going through but inside it was constant battle! I am a lot better now then before but one thing I discovered about this Is “You are not your mind” When you watch your own thoughts you become the witness & The one who witnesses its own thoughts are separate!! So your true self are current current consciousness, And yes when you accept your self then mind & it’s thoughts will fade away as it was never You…
Yay, comeback of the colour grading master! I hope your mental health will be in the best condition possible, take care
Du bist einfach ein einzigartiger und faszinierender Mensch Christian. Ich freue mich auf jedes neue Video. Danke!
I’m so excited to see you back on RUclips! Anything you create people are grateful for. Enjoying it is most important so do what feels best for you and create what you want to create🙌🏽 Its always awesome mate🙏🏾
You know what's crazy Christian, how you just put everything I'm experiencing in a beautiful video and describing it in the most accurate way possible, thank you dude. The part where you said youre easily addicted on stuff, overachieving and all that. Cant thank you more for the inspiration over the last few years. Things will work out and Im wishing you all the best from Malaysia man! Thanks for reminding that everyone is human and not everything is gonna be perfect.
I've been following your channel for a long time. I was wondering what happened. I am glad that you are coming back to the living and I wish you all the best ❤ Do what you love!
Much love!
Christian, this was moving. I struggle with MDD, and although I haven't fully scaled the peak, its important to celebrate those small wins and focus on what makes you happy in the moment. Such a beautiful story you told, thank you.
Dude, I could not relate to this more. The last couple years I have gone through basically the same experience. This video is nothing short of amazing and props to you for making this. Very inspiring man. Keep up the positivity.
I LOVE the handheld movements in your interview shots.
I feel this emotionally it almost tells a story of my self which I can relate to so much ….but picking up the camera and creating saved me gave me purpose and motivation & inspiration from a black hole that was becoming life threatening. I truly believe there’s always a way out but the biggest problem is finding the way out …Thankyou for sharing the story!!
Good to see you back! I can relate to every word you said in the video. I’ve been and still going through this …. I had to question and change almost everything in my life. And nobody seems to understand what’s wrong with me no matter how hard I try to explain that my body is “failing” me for “no reason”. It’s been almost four years now, and it gets better ✌️
Remember that you’re not alone in this. And I wish you to get through 🙌
I needed this video today. I respect the hell out of you as a human being and an artist. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this, Christian. Your words struck close to home. We're glad to have you back on RUclips ❤
Thank you for this short film. Thank you for speaking up about this chaos and pain.
Im happy to see you back again Christian! Stronger and more ready than ever to chase your life goals with full mental health!
It is so good to see you back. Thank you for creating and sharing this, it means a lot. Strength and piece to you and your loved ones!
Some of the explanations you use are great, I am in exactly the same state and I find it very hard to explain what it's like feeling like I feel. What resonated with me was, its been nice here but im gonna go, that sent chills up my spine as that is very like myself, You are very strong to do this video, proud of you !
Good to see you Christian. Glad you're active in your process. Super proud of you.
Id never heard of you before this dude, but you got my sub because of it. Theres so many short films about mental health out there, but none that ive related to nearly as much as this. Thank you for sharing this with the world ♥♥
Crazy und ganz grosses Dankeschön. Bin in Tränen ausgebrochen. Du sprichst mir aus der Seele.
Man I wish u all the best and I hope u will never stop working on yourself to get better and better. It's true that nowadays people are more worried about their social media and social image that about themselves and its sad that people put self value on comments, shares, photos, videos etc. Can't imagine how much courage u needed to work it out for better but im glad that there are people like u that can put light on those problems. 💪🙏
Brother, thank you for telling your story! I have had similar issues and can relate with that anxiety, addiction and mental issues. Watching this video made me a little emotional thinking of my journey.
I have been inspired by your work and was praying for you when you took a break as I read between the lines of some of your videos and thought you were going through a tough time. Glad to see you back, you look healthy and strong. Stay strong brother
Glad you safe and healing and getting better every day, buddy. you are extremely incredible but more then that, you are Christian, and is amazing to see you getting back to your identity. God Bless you, mate! always following you here and praying for your live.
stehe grad selbst kurz vorm entzug/therapie. ich habs ehrlich gesagt kommen sehen bzw. bin nicht überrascht, deinen videos war schon immer diese Nachdenklichkeit anzumerken, wenn man selbst drin steckt. Gibts mir grad Mut und dafür einfach Danke! Du schaffst das, danke dass du deine story teilst, das war mutig und hilfreich für uns alle die an mental health issues leiden. grüße aus kobi
Danke! Danke ... dass du dieses Video gemacht hast!
Nice to have you back and thanks for sharing your mental health experience. We live unfortunately in world where is all about competition and how can we fit in this modern society, ignoring how to live life and make the most of it.Hope we learn this and embrace life and seek for help as soon as our body or behaviour is not the right one.Glad to see you back and take care of yourself buddy!!Keep inspiring us!!!!Stay strong!!!
thank you for this man... happy to here you back we are ready to see you
Stand den Tränen nah... Sau stark, dass du so offen mit diesem Thema umgehst. Verdammt schön zu hören, dass es dir langsam besser geht. Hab vor etwa 5 Jahren deinen Kanal gefunden und durch dich sehr viele Sachen gelernt. Ohne deinen Output auf diesem Kanal wäre ich heute privat und beruflich nicht da, wo ich jetzt bin! Vielen Dank für alles und viel Glück auf deinem weiteren Weg!
Thanks for opening up to such a large extent, good to see testimonies like this, hang in there and keep following the same road of getting better you are currently on!
Good to have you back Christian ! Power to you 💪
This is a powerful video without a doubt. I've never watched your channel before, but I have gone through this same thing over the last year or so and it's been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Feeling like I could just drop dead at any moment, not finding joy in the things I used to be so passionate about, feeling hopelessly unable to get better, and on the verge of turning 30 without much to show for myself as I slowly lose my grip on reality. Some days I feel okay and others I can barely get myself out of bed but I'm still here and I'm still fighting every day to pull myself out of this. I surround myself with the people I love, I go to therapy twice a week, I try to get myself to enjoy the things I used to love so much even if just for a split second. It's still the hardest thing I've ever dealt with, but I do hope it gets easier soon. One thing that has helped me greatly the last few months has been talking to others with similar experiences and realizing that I'm not alone in feeling this way, so thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I'm sure it wasn't easy but it will mean a lot to those of us battling the same thing.
One thing about mental health is you are absolutely in it on your own. No one understands and although people say they care they don't give actually give a shit. Ultimately your in it alone and you have to find your own way out. Or maybe that's just me. My trigger is winter and I have to try really hard this year to not go downhill like I did in 2020 and 2021.
All of the thoughts that I've been having. Thanks for bringing it to light brother!
I feel you man and I’m now in the middle of all what you mentioned in this film. That felt like me talking and i felt that I’m not alone and I have to start looking for change instead of just setting in the same spot for my whole life. Thank you for sharing your feelings and pls don’t stop living your life brother. You are super talented and you got this . 🙏🏼 I hope you all the best man
First thing... I totally love the shirt :)
I am going through the constant battles of not being enough. From not making enough money to my craft I once loved becoming an annoyance because I cant make a living atm doing the projects I want to do. Not sure if I will ever get there but thank you for this video. Thank you for opening up and telling your story with mental health. Glad you are able to create one your own terms now. Stay healthy. We will get through this :)
Thank you Christian.
Stay strong man. Relatable and warming hearing your growth.
A video many people need right now. Thanks for sharing your life story.
Welcome back Christian, it's so good to see you back.
I can relate to so much in this - after making my first feature film, I bit off more than I could chew, and it really took its toll on my mental health. That terrifying feeling that your life could suddenly end, from an extreme panic attack, took me a long time to get over. An irrational fear is still a fear. I realised that I wasn't making enough time to relax, just pushing myself constantly. Thank you for sharing this, Christian.
nice message dude, this video just popped up on my RUclips, so good to see you keep going, that's
encouraging
Ah your message makes me feel like I’m not alone… I respect you sharing this story I know this is a personal subject and it was brave of you to make a video about it. Much respect and I hope you continue on the right track. Much love 👏🏼🙏🏻
Incredible. Well said and well shot. Awesome to see you're in a better place
Welcome back Christian. You have certainly being missed. Sorry to hear about your mental struggles and at the same time glad to hear you have and still are actively working towards getting better. In terms of RUclips and as a fellow RUclipsr I would like to tell you that please take your time and own pace towards creating content as your dedicated fans will be here to experiance and get ispired by no matter the upload intervals. Looking forward to it.
It takes a lot of courage to open up like this. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it will help a lot of people who may not be aware of why they feel down at the moment. I think anxiety, depression and everything that comes with it is one of the biggest problems of our decade. Not talked about enough and often dismissed. Constantly comparing yourself to other people, wanting more and wanting it fast. Forgetting how much we already created, how much friendships we made, how much we changed our life and the lifes of others, how many of our goals we already reached and how big our impact really is. Wishing you the very best and much love from Germany, Ulm.
That was amazing! 👏 Freue mich unglaublich dich wiederzusehen mit so eine ehrliche und wichtige Story die jeder sehen sollte. Es war wie ein großes Kino, nach dem ich am Ende einfach applaudiert habe, MEGA. Ich wünsche dir weiterhin solche positive Erfolge in deine geistige Gesundheit zu machen und bin mir sicher, dass du das bald erreichst, nach was du so lange gesucht hast.
Huge respect for that short film. Sharing your story + the craftmanship 10/10.
Christian, danke! Stay strong and clear minded 💪
You’re not alone, thanks for sharing. I can totally relate, the anxiety, back pains, stress, over thinking, I’m worrying so much, but being grateful for what we already have helps a lot
Some real talk. Glad you are feeling better. Proud of you for facing and overcoming your challenges. Admirable to share them with the world and put yourself out there. Wishing you peace, my dude. Looking forward to whatever creative thing you want to share.
Honestyl, I'm glad ur doing better. You are by far the most inspiring creator to me.
oh men i knew there were something wron i actually thought something happened to you and started to check around all over the internet ..im so glad you ok..glad that you are taking the baby steps to get better,,, wish you the best..and hope in the long run you get where you are going.
It’s comforting to see you are not alone in the struggle. We all have to find our way to find peace. Thank you brother
Super happy you are good... and you have managed to face these things.
super happy you are back brother.
That was so honest, thank you man!! And keep it up, stay strong 💪🏼 you got this!
Thanks for this message man. Sharing this thru film is one of the best way to cope up.
Ich glaube du sprichst vielen aus der Seele mit einem Thema, das oft noch als Tabu gilt.
Wie immer ein krasses Video nebenbei :) weiterhin viel Kraft!
Feel you. Even when you're away I know you will be back when you're ready. Good to know you're doing better. And thanks for this video.
thanks this video was like a therapy for me so inspiring so motivating
Glad to see you back brother and happy that you are climbing over the hill. Much respect to you for opening up 👊🏻
so beautiful. glad you are back. glad you are recovering. in the end I feel like even though we are are all so different, we are all the same. and we all struggle with different things on different levels. it helps so much speaking up so others know they are not alone ❤️
I am currently exactly in what you descirbed…. this video gave me so much hope and let the anxiety go away for am few minutes. thank you so much!❤️
Hey man! I really appreciate this fr. Since the year began I’ve been silently struggling to stay alive and keep myself distracted from everything happening in my life. Though some times the reality catches up with me but I snap out of it because what follows after those thoughts are quite dark. I’m happy to see you back and better. Look forward to more content 🔥
Hi Christian. Glad to see you back. I'm sure many others are as well. I appreciate you sharing your story with us. I have to admit that I was / am dealing with some of the issues you mentioned and have taken similar approaches as well. Cheers and good luck to you!
welcome home man glade to see you back
"Sir, how do I colorgrade?" made me burst out :D.
Important message and I can imagine that you made this also as a reminder for yourself. Sometimes, reaching out to "the closest people" is the hardest.
Thank you for sharing your story. Opening up like this is incredibly difficult, but I know this will help so many others going through it. Bravo, Christian!
You have no idea how much this rings true with me. I have watched your videos for so long and find such comfort in them and now this video hit me hard. I too am struggling hard and have extreme and overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks that seem to have come out of nowhere. My physical health feels like I'm constantly dying and my mind feels like it's going to give up but just hearing your story gives me hope and strength to push forward and take time for me and help myself instead of constantly worrying. Your an inspiration in so many ways. I hope your feeling better now and when you do feel down or have a crappy day you can look back and see how strong you are and how your strength can and will inspire others to reach out and get the help they need and deserve ❤️
Great to have you back man! Got your CMG playlist playing on repeat while on the road "roaming" and damn ur music is good (and very relatable). Take your time to recharge and thanks for the inspiration! Cheers ✌
Glad you're doing okay! Been following you for a long time and was starting to get worried, you've inspired me a lot on my photography.. Cheers from Merica!
I'm so happy to hear from you again. I've been anxiously waiting to see you post again. Peace and light!
When I think of your Sony a6300 videos from years ago and how they inspired me to get into video production, to watch and be amazed at how quickly you grew while staying humble and true to yourself along the way, I know that everything you’re experiencing good and bad now is just a part of your story and I’m happy to see you owning that shit and powering through. Always appreciate your content and authenticity.
Listening to you is like listening to me couple years ago . Amazing video ❤
I absolutely loved the message you shared and the artistic value of this film overall! Loved the German phrase you threw in as well. SUBSCRIBED!
This was great Christian. You are so strong for opening up to everyone about your issues.
Good to see you share this - welcome back. Sending positive vibes.
Good to see you are in the mend. I think social media is more a curse than a blessing in most applications. It’s so important that people step away from it all like you did as time helps us see through all the bull shit and see more of who we really are without the pressure and fake crap around it all. Go at it all with a more free spirit and do it for you. I’m 40, a freelance film maker and I’m glad I didn’t get into this game younger as I wouldn’t have the life lessons I know being a little older than most.
You’re an incredible person. Your beautiful soul comes through in everything you do. I’m so glad to hear of your recovery process and I hope you find wonderful people along the way to help you through it.
Great message. I find it important to leverage creativity to be able to discuss the things that are most difficult to express. I'm glad you're doing better and that you were able to use your filmmaking skills to share such a state that not only you yourself have been through, but that others have been or will go through as well.
This really resonated with me on another level man. A true work of art, but also a message I needed to hear. You helped remind me that our peace is the best gift we can give to the world, and we find it by taking little steps towards removing what doesn’t serve us and showing up for ourselves. Thank you for making this. It was sincerely a transformative work of art that made me step back and assess where I’m at.
Welcome back man, stay strong!
Good to have you back man 💪🏻 I'm kind going through some of the same shit and seeing your example kinda makes me put my feet on the ground, so thank you.
I am going through same phase of my life right now & i hope it will be better every day as you said. Never giving up hope
Feels warm having you back.Watching from Kenya.Currently,mentally am in that state
Thanks for sharing brother. I hope you get to the top of that hill soon and defeat those inner demons. Much love from the UK.
