@@mfax1000He only needs to apologize if HE feels he needs to. Just because you follow someone on youtube doesn’t mean they owe you any explanation or update. They have private lives and people need to accept that. Unfollow if you don’t like a channel but you and I aren’t part of his life and never will be.
Glen hopefully you see this, I'm not exaggerating when I say your videos changed my life! I was stuck as a bartender, didn't know what to do. I built floating shelves after watching your video and put them up on my walls. My wife's clients saw them, had me make some for her and suggested we sell them. 5 years later I'm running my own wood working business and have my own shop all because of you! Sorry you are going through a terrible time, but glad to hear you are managing things! Take care
So glad you wrote this and how you felt he helped you. I hope he sees this and it uplifts him. And i really wish you continued and increased luck and success in your business. :)
Wow- that’s an amazing story, I, too hope he sees reads your message but from looking at the comments - i don’t think so- it would be great for him to know how many people he’s helped. Great motivation
I'm absolutely in love with how well the not-older generation deals with mental health, and how very open about it you/they are. This is exactly what we need: honesty, openness, and running away from the stigma of mental health issues. Thanks for being so open, and I hope things continue to get easier for you.
"not older"? Friend, I am 60; a generation older, and I and my siblings are very open and honest about our mental health and/or our lapses from it. Please try to let your love surpass generational boundaries; it will benefit you. Peace!
Welcome back brother. You have been missed. Never apologize for taking time out for some self care. I also have found out in the past few years that I have compound trauma and PTSD. It explained a lot and it seems that everyone else around me knew it before I did. Sorry to hear what you've been going through but very encouraged to hear that you have been taking the correct steps. Onwards and upwards buddy.
Bro, hang strong. No apologies needed. Being your daughter's father is your single priority. Keeping yourself well is the only way to do that right. You owe us nothing.
"replace old thoughts with renewed purpose". THIS IS CRUCIAL. wow, I'm using this. So glad you're back, take all the time you need. You're an inspiration to those of us trying to find our path and purpose. Keep your head up!
Hey Glen, Apology not required but accepted nonetheless. We are here for your inspiring content whenever you do decide to post. And if you are not posting, you have created an amazing video library that we access! THANK YOU!!! Above the clouds, the sun is always shining! May you rise above life trials and tap into the well-being that is always here. Sending you positive vibes from Raleigh, NC! 🌞🌥⛅🌤🌞
You’ve been missed brother ✊🏾. Don’t sacrifice yourself for us viewers. We’re human just like you. The loyal ones aren’t going anywhere! Your transparency and vulnerability is admirable and I totally understand going through hardships. Look forward to future content but more importantly happy you’re in a better space. Much love ✊🏾
Short and sweet! I don't think creators should feel obligated to make videos like this, but if they do they should use this one as an example of how to do it. No overly dramatic setting, no long drawn out explanation, no forced sincerity or apology. Clear, transparent, and to the point. I hope coming back to this platform doesn't cause you any setbacks and I hope the personal work you are doing continues to support you journey. Peace!
Even though you shouldn’t have to explain, Im certain your transparency just connected many of your former and new followers in a different way. Glad to see you back and ready. Everything is going up from here 🙌🏽
There is no reason to apologize, but we appreciate your explanation! Thank you for reaching out to us and let us know how you're doing. We've missed you and we're looking forward to your future work. Focus on your mental health, your relationship with your daughter, and enjoying yourself as you get back into making content. Happy to see you again!
Glenn, it is great to see a new video from you. You owe NO ONE an apology. Your well being is your priority, no explanations needed! It takes a lot of guts and vulnerability to share just a SMALL portion of what you did here, so just know that this isn’t taken lightly. Proud of you and believing in you!
Do not think your subscribers think anything less of you for dealing what is important in your life. Glad you're back and can't wait to see your future projects.
As a mental health therapist I respect you for explaining but you don’t need to explain. We love you and the work you’ve shared. I’m glad you took priority on your mental wellness. Well done brother! We are all determined to support your content.
Bro, we are glad to see you. You don't need to apologize for anything. We are rather pleased to have you back. Love and hugs from my family. Thanks Glenn
No apologies needed. Life can challenge all of us to our core at times. Glad you were able to take the time needed to regroup and heal. Our kids need us as fathers. I’m super happy for you and your daughter. Make every day count my friend. All of us that have supported your journey will continue to be here for you. You got this! 👊🏻
I think it is safe to say that if we are still here, we believe in you and your channel. Taking care of you and your mental health should always be a priority. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Prayers for you and the continuing struggles that you deal with. Prayers for a good outcome. - Chaplain Steve
Sorry you have gone through so much. Glad you are doing better and so happy you are back. Keep making your physical and mental health your priority, we will be here when you post. Your videos are Awesome.
Glenn thank you for being transparent and sharing. Praying for you and your family during this time. Glad you took the time that you needed. We’re still here.
Welcome back brother. You’ve been missed. Navigating life’s storms is never easy but is just how it is. It sounds as though you’re pulling thru this storm with wisdom and grace.
Wow. What a truth bomb. Thanks for being so open about your mental health. Every time a man talks about his mental health in a calm and confident way it breaks down the stigma a little more, and makes it easier for the next man to seek help. Thank you, and I hope you continue to make progress on your journey.
Glenn, we are just elated that you are alive! Significant life events, personal trauma and challenges can be difficult to navigate and work through. Couple that with anxiety and depression and the result could take several years of looking for meaning to get your life back. As many have already said, there is no need to apologize. You need all the support, the time to reflect, to heal and build right now. And we, as your loyal subscribers, hope you'll find some of that support right here on youtube through the positive comments and through your future projects. Take care!
There's no need to apologize for going through life ordeals. With all the content that you've created, you don't owe us viewers anything. I'm just thankful I got to view all your creative projects over the years. Be well bro and live your life to the fullest!
Very happy that you put your daughter and yourself first. We'll be here watching when content starts up again. Your well-being is what's most important!
Welcome back, and to be honest, being open and positive about your experience is just as valuable as videos about projects. We all go through rough life-changing events, I went through a horrible and sudden breakup that took years to get over. It makes a huge difference to know other people go through these things too, can be open about how much it hurts, but also that they find ways to get on. Always loved your videos, and looking forward to seeing more.
Sorry to hear that you went through such a tough time. No need to apologize. We were concerned about your well-being during the break because we thought something bad had happened to you. We were NOT concerned that you were not putting up content. Having said that, it's good to see you get back on the horse and work. However, this time around, don't rush yourself or sacrifice your mental health to reach a youtube deadline. Ease yourself into it and take all the time you need.
NEVER be sorry for taking the time to focus on yourself. Dealing with a loss, is dealing with a loss. Glad you were able to get through it. Never be afraid to reach out to your fans. And look forward to more.
I am glad that you felt comfortable to share your personal challenges with "us". Welcome back, and stay positive. Reaching out and accepting help is key! Be well!
I very rarely comment on any RUclips channel, but I wanted to tell you that your videos were some of the first woodworking videos I watched. Thank you for creating such beneficial content that inspired a lot of us to start doing projects ourselves. As you can see from all the comments, we're glad you're back, but more importantly we're glad you're doing well. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward.
NO APOLOGY NEEDED... No one is immune to life's struggles. It's great that you have a positive mentality and sought-out help. Take whatever time you need, we [viewers] will be here, I am glad that you have the strength and courage to continue to move forward. 🙏💪🖖
Personal life takes priority. You don’t need to apologize. Truth is we’re just loving your channel and we missed you. I’m glad to hear you’re getting on the better side of it.
Welcome back! It’s very important to take care of ourselves first. I’m glad that you took the time you needed to take care of you! Can’t wait to see what new projects you will share with us. 💙✨🙏🏽
Deepest respect to you, Glenn. Very open, honest & eloquently stated, and I am sure it will help someone else walking the same difficult path to keep moving forward to a better place. All the best to you and your daughter .. and I'll look fwd to many more years of enjoyment viewing your content. 😀🙏😀
As others have said, absolutely zero reason to apologize for your absence but it is well received and very much appreciated as is your video/channel and you! Thank you for everything you do here. Looking forward to future content and rewatching your older videos.
What frustrates me is that RUclipsrs think that they owe us an explanation. They don't. RUclips is a way for them to share their talents with us. With that said, Glen, I am glad to see you back and hope you are doing well. I hope you keep focusing on yourself and your daughter first and foremost. If you keep posting your viewers will be here. You are one of my favorite DIY channels.
They don't but I can understand their need to. After building a "relationship" with an audience you will naturally feel obligated to them. It is they who make the RUclipsr successful. It is they who have come somewhat dependent on the RUclipsr for whatever emotional connection that is there. So , yes I see why he had to respond, just read the comments and you should get it.
Please don't apologize! We love you but you don't owe us anything and it's not an inconvenience to us for you to take care of yourself and those in your life. I'm so sorry for incredibly hard things you've had to face. Thank you for choosing to share. I'll certainly be praying for you, my friend.
Welcome back brother. As someone who is dealing with mental health recovery as well I feel you in leaving something to find your whole self. I had to leave a very fulfilling coaching career to realize my mental health wasn’t where I thought it was. Do you on your time. Find some peace. We’ll be here to support you for as much as you’re willing to share.
It's so refreshing to see someone place their mental health and wellbeing as a top priority. I'm so happy for you and your growth. I'm also very happy to see you back. The hubby and I loved watching and learning from your videos.
I am so happy you back my big bro and always remember that GOD is here to help when we go through stuff. My wife and I love your works and the skill you have. We support you all the way...
Sorry to hear about what you have been going through.. All the best for your future.. I am happy that you have decided to return. You are a craftsman who teaches and shares so eloquently. Not everyone has the talent to teach and educate.. You do.. Again.. Welcome back
Glad you're doing better, man! Similar thing happened to me a year ago. 11 years together done just like that, it's still tough. Your content has been inspiring and providing me with positive and useful "distractions". Hope it hasn't been too hard on your daughter.
Hey my brother welcome back. No need to apologize for nothing!!! Just know God got your back and so do your subscribers. Keep your head up and continue to be your best self! You and your daughter deserve it!!!🙏
As others have stated, you don't need to apologize, we get free content from you that we enjoy. Do it at your pace, when life events happen, that takes priority. Hope to see you return soon, take care of yourself first.
Thanks for the update. Taking care of your mental health is an important task. Glad you took the time to do what was important. It will allow you to come back even stronger. Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects.
Sorry that you're dealing with a difficult time. We appreciate you taking the time to address us because you certainly don't owe us and kind of explanation for prioritizing your family and mental health. Happy you're in a better place and look forward to new content. Continue to be well!
My sensei - a TOUGH, combat vet and black belt in four or five systems - always said, “FAMILY FIRST, then business, then training….” You have to care for yourself and your child before ALL ELSE. Welcome back. 100% support.
Just randomly late night browsing my youtube... seeing what the algorithm will throw at me.. Not sure what I searched a while back, but I came across your channel. dude.. this is awesome. I always love a new DIY channel to make me go out and impulse buy stuff on weekends... good stuff man, subscribing now. Also.. I'm sorry you went through some bad times, but its nice to see you recovering. stay strong dude. and cheers!
I'll echo the sentiment from the comments below: Absolutely no need to apologize! Your physical and mental well-being should always be your number one concern. Best of wishes to you from Scotland.
Glad to have you back bro. We're good on our end, we have endless cat videos to be entertained till your return. So sorry to hear what you've been going through. We appreciate you sharing your struggles. It's always positive to work on yourself and it's a great encouragement for us all to work on what matters most. Peace and glad to see you're ok.
As a creator/builder, you know the value of a strong and stable foundation... Its awesome to see your priorities are strong and stable! That's good news for us fans of your channel. Thanks for sharing your projects and personal journey with us.
Again, as has been said before, no need to apologize but I personally do appreciate your content. As someone who has gone through similar issues, PTSD, anxiety, depression, BPD, amonst others. Taking care of yourself is the highest priority. Take care, & sending lots of support to you.
Mental health for yourself, family and friends are #1. Sorry for your hardship, hopefully each day provides something positive. A little over 20 years ago, there was a majoy tragedy in my extended family. It taught me something very important. I learned that no matter how bad something may seem or how inconvenient or annoying, it could be worse. Also, a personal quote I've told myself from time to time, "No matter how bad things seem, you are never trapped until you stop trying."
You are a class act brother! Sorry you had to go through those hardships. To echo the comments of others...no apologies needed! Life tests us all like that...but you endure, refocus and come out stronger. Good to see you back in action doing what you love and inspiring us all with your projects. Best DIY channel out there!
Been there sir... sounds like you're on the right track to get back to who you are. There'll be bad days... reach out to the ones that love and respect you for both the good AND bad days. Keep baby girl on the front. I'm not a professional, but that way was what saved my sanity.
This may be my favorite video of yours. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and anxiety and it’s hard, but I’m also a serial DIYer and I love your videos. 🙌🏾Thank you for sharing. I’ve learned transparency helps people you wouldn’t think. Best wishes. 💚
SO proud of you for putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. Your responsibility to your daughter and yourself is what’s most important. May God continue to please you and your daughter!
I think one of the worst parts of this algorithm driven social media environment is that when a content creator stops uploading, it can go unnoticed until there's a "sorry I was gone" video. I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you're able to stay active with your daughter.
Good for you, My mental health issues after my 14 year break-up took me down a 5 year hell ride. Much respect for being so strong and in charge of your emotions, Then knowing when to ask for help.
Glad to see you are back. As someone going through a similar situation I’m finding it helpful to start pursuing the desire to take up the hobby of building things and woodworking so I can help keep my mental health in check. Good luck to you and can’t wait to see the new content coming.
Appreciate being open about this. Men need to know it is okay to have issues with mental heath. During my divorce I threw myself into projects instead of dealing with it. It was a rough road.
Absolutely no need to apologize or explain your absence to us. You do you buddy and put yourself and your daughter first. I will say, that smile at the end was great to see and I'm glad you're in a good space 👍 All the best.
Glenn, no need to apologize. There was so many comments, one even said you were dead and honestly felt sad to hear. I am so happy to see you are well and back on youtube. We all have been there, good for you to take time to deal with your personal issues. Happy to see you are back. ❤
OMG! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE BACK GLENN! I was really worried about you. I actually thought the worst and SO glad to see I was wrong. I'm very happy that you are in a positive place in your life now. Looking forward to watching your videos again! Much love!
Very touching - always thought you’re smarter and more creative than any of my architecture and architectural engineering colleagues I work with- curious if you’re an architect yourself?! Be well dear friend and prosper - may you and your family be blessed today and always.
Sorry to hear you're going through some tough stuff. You getting professional help is admirable--good on you! Taking care of yourself is important, so do what you gotta do to regain/retain your mental health. Appreciate your explanation. Sending you positive vibes!
I'm so sorry you went through that devastating loss. A breakup is just as tough to navigate as losing someone who has died. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us, and raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding it. The more people who talk about it, the more people will seek it out. I'm a mental health therapist, so it's always good to hear therapy has helped! Keep doing what you do! Again, thank you and best of luck moving forward. Lisa
God bless you son. I went through the same issue as you and was devastated. It takes a toll on you both physically and mentally. I'm glad you are back and there was in no way a need to apologize.
I understand completely. Although I was sorry to hear the sad news, I am very glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself. That should always come first. With that said, I am also happy to see the new videos and I’m looking forward to any new content you share. Very inspiring. I’m about to take on the biggest challenge I’ve ever attempted. I am completely redoing my mom’s place. The outdoor space is several acres. It will have an entertaining area, 5 stall carport, workshop, a couple storage sheds, a greenhouse, a garden area and possibly a pool. I will also be gutting two mobile homes and completely redesigning them so that she and I can move back to her place. I’m doing most of the work myself to save where I can. 🙏🤞🙏 So you do what you need to do and post when you can. Your loyal followers will always be here to cheer you on and wait patiently to see your wonderful ideas! ❤
Sending nothing but love your way! I'm sorry that you hit such a rough patch, but very happy to hear that you are using it to work on making things better. Don't forget to add God to your list of things to keep you occupied. In fact put Him at the top of the list and all things after will fall into place ❤ Greatly looking forward to more content from you - you were one of the people that most helped me gain confidence when first getting into woodworking and you continue to inspire creativity with every episode. You got this Glenn!
My beloved Brother, you have absolutely NO REASON to explain nor apologize for needing to take care of you & do what needs to be done as a Man & Father. The Most High knows your heart & would never put more on you than you can handle. Keep pushing & know that THIS BROTHER (me) has your back. Shalom ✊🏾
I have faced similar difficulties in the last 2 years; the end of a long term relationship involving my daughter and dealing with my combat PTSD by turning to alcohol, which only made things worse. I commend you for dealing with your situation and finding a process that works for you. I only found your page today, my 8 month mark of sobriety. You have a follower for life. Thank you! Patton's Pals
Glenn, ánimo, es una etapa difícil por la que estás pasando, pero, con conocimiento de causa, te puedo decir que todo va a estar bien, parece el fin del mundo y que jamás podrá salir uno adelante y liberarse de esa depresión, no tiene uno ganas de hacer nada, además, esta esa sensación de tristeza asechándote en cualquier rincón tratando de tomarte por sorpresa y con la guardia baja para mandarte de nuevo al suelo. Mucho fuerza, que a la distancia, las cosas se verán diferente, yo te lo puedo decir, sí se puede, abrazos, y arriba y adelante, saludos desde Puerto Vallarta, México
Even though I do not personally know you, I can definitely relate as I have been through much of the same. Stay with the positive thoughts and actions. Time will heal almost everything from the past. Move forward knowing you will become a stronger person than you were before. Peace 🙏.
You're human like everyone else, just glad you took the time needed for awareness and healing. I enjoy your content and am privileged to benefit from it whenever you see fit to share.
No inconveniences man. I have missed you. You're super creative and I think your accent is cool as hell. If it says anything you are the only person I've ever actually purchased plans from cause I feel like you deserve the support . I got your couch, bed, and vanity in my house. That always sucks to hear man. You got to take care of you man. And it's perfectly cool that you took a break from RUclips but especially in your situation I hope you've got a strong support team of close people to help you through the hard times. Your only obligation should be yourself. We can come second. Peace.
I’m proud of you for sharing this with us. Sorry that you’re having to deal with this, but glad that you are recovering. Mental health is physical health. Your brain is an organ and when it gets injured, you have to take care of it. We’ll be here whenever you’re re ready. In the meantime, you can absolutely count on my prayers!
That is extremely great news. None of this matters if you are not good mentally and physically. Come back 10X stronger. You were one of many who inspired me to start my channel.
I’m glad I am a subscriber, so I could catch this in my feed. I’ve enjoyed your diy videos very much, and that would have been more than enough. So, this is above and beyond that. It is making my day to see a young man being straightforwardly candid about the kind of thing that so many of us can relate to, but may feel embarrassed or awkward letting others (especially other men) know about it. You are a great example to others, and especially your own kids, for acknowledging your difficulty and seeking help from experts, and doing so openly, but with no self-indulgent whining or manipulative self-pity. Good man, and best going forward! Uhh… okay… uh… well, back to building now😄
Welcome back! Glad your doing well. As a Veteran that deals with PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression I understand your pain. I look forward to seeing more of your products.
Things happen in humans' lives. The fact that you sought out what works for you to deal with the situation and moved ahead. I'm glad you came out the other side VICTORIOUS. Strength is in how a person accepts the hardships, learns, and moves on. Being there for your daughter will be a shining example for her with the type of man she accepts in her life. Stay strong, brother. We're pulling for you. 🙌

I built floating shelves after watching your video and put them up on my walls. My wife's clients saw them, had me make some for her and suggested we sell them.

Welcome back, and to be honest, being open and positive about your experience is just as valuable as videos about projects. We all go through rough life-changing events, I went through a horrible and sudden breakup that took years to get over. It makes a huge difference to know other people go through these things too, can be open about how much it hurts, but also that they find ways to get on. Always loved your videos, and looking forward to seeing more.
Sorry to hear that you went through such a tough time. No need to apologize. We were concerned about your well-being during the break because we thought something bad had happened to you. We were NOT concerned that you were not putting up content. Having said that, it's good to see you get back on the horse and work. However, this time around, don't rush yourself or sacrifice your mental health to reach a youtube deadline. Ease yourself into it and take all the time you need.
NEVER be sorry for taking the time to focus on yourself. Dealing with a loss, is dealing with a loss. Glad you were able to get through it.
Never be afraid to reach out to your fans. And look forward to more.
I am glad that you felt comfortable to share your personal challenges with "us". Welcome back, and stay positive. Reaching out and accepting help is key! Be well!
I very rarely comment on any RUclips channel, but I wanted to tell you that your videos were some of the first woodworking videos I watched. Thank you for creating such beneficial content that inspired a lot of us to start doing projects ourselves. As you can see from all the comments, we're glad you're back, but more importantly we're glad you're doing well. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward.
NO APOLOGY NEEDED... No one is immune to life's struggles. It's great that you have a positive mentality and sought-out help. Take whatever time you need, we [viewers] will be here, I am glad that you have the strength and courage to continue to move forward. 🙏💪🖖
Personal life takes priority. You don’t need to apologize. Truth is we’re just loving your channel and we missed you. I’m glad to hear you’re getting on the better side of it.
Welcome back! It’s very important to take care of ourselves first. I’m glad that you took the time you needed to take care of you! Can’t wait to see what new projects you will share with us.
💙✨🙏🏽
He's back. Good to hear you are feeling better. Keep that chin up.
Deepest respect to you, Glenn. Very open, honest & eloquently stated, and I am sure it will help someone else walking the same difficult path to keep moving forward to a better place.
All the best to you and your daughter .. and I'll look fwd to many more years of enjoyment viewing your content. 😀🙏😀
As others have said, absolutely zero reason to apologize for your absence but it is well received and very much appreciated as is your video/channel and you! Thank you for everything you do here. Looking forward to future content and rewatching your older videos.
Life can throw us some weird curve balls sometimes. I'm glad you are back, and doing well!
What frustrates me is that RUclipsrs think that they owe us an explanation. They don't. RUclips is a way for them to share their talents with us. With that said, Glen, I am glad to see you back and hope you are doing well. I hope you keep focusing on yourself and your daughter first and foremost. If you keep posting your viewers will be here. You are one of my favorite DIY channels.
They don't but I can understand their need to. After building a "relationship" with an audience you will naturally feel obligated to them. It is they who make the RUclipsr successful. It is they who have come somewhat dependent on the RUclipsr for whatever emotional connection that is there. So , yes I see why he had to respond, just read the comments and you should get it.
Please don't apologize! We love you but you don't owe us anything and it's not an inconvenience to us for you to take care of yourself and those in your life. I'm so sorry for incredibly hard things you've had to face. Thank you for choosing to share. I'll certainly be praying for you, my friend.
Welcome back brother. As someone who is dealing with mental health recovery as well I feel you in leaving something to find your whole self. I had to leave a very fulfilling coaching career to realize my mental health wasn’t where I thought it was. Do you on your time. Find some peace. We’ll be here to support you for as much as you’re willing to share.
It's so refreshing to see someone place their mental health and wellbeing as a top priority. I'm so happy for you and your growth. I'm also very happy to see you back. The hubby and I loved watching and learning from your videos.
I am so happy you back my big bro and always remember that GOD is here to help when we go through stuff. My wife and I love your works and the skill you have. We support you all the way...
Sorry to hear you had such a hard time. I hope your mental health journey is great and helpful!
Sorry to hear about what you have been going through.. All the best for your future.. I am happy that you have decided to return. You are a craftsman who teaches and shares so eloquently. Not everyone has the talent to teach and educate.. You do.. Again.. Welcome back
Glad you're doing better, man! Similar thing happened to me a year ago. 11 years together done just like that, it's still tough. Your content has been inspiring and providing me with positive and useful "distractions". Hope it hasn't been too hard on your daughter.
Hey my brother welcome back. No need to apologize for nothing!!! Just know God got your back and so do your subscribers. Keep your head up and continue to be your best self! You and your daughter deserve it!!!🙏
As others have stated, you don't need to apologize, we get free content from you that we enjoy. Do it at your pace, when life events happen, that takes priority.
Hope to see you return soon, take care of yourself first.
Glad to see you back. So sorry for all you’ve had to go through. Looking forward to your upcoming projects.
Thanks for the update. Taking care of your mental health is an important task. Glad you took the time to do what was important. It will allow you to come back even stronger. Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects.
Sorry that you're dealing with a difficult time. We appreciate you taking the time to address us because you certainly don't owe us and kind of explanation for prioritizing your family and mental health. Happy you're in a better place and look forward to new content. Continue to be well!
So glad you are okay!!! Prayers
My sensei - a TOUGH, combat vet and black belt in four or five systems - always said, “FAMILY FIRST, then business, then training….” You have to care for yourself and your child before ALL ELSE. Welcome back. 100% support.
Just randomly late night browsing my youtube... seeing what the algorithm will throw at me.. Not sure what I searched a while back, but I came across your channel. dude.. this is awesome. I always love a new DIY channel to make me go out and impulse buy stuff on weekends... good stuff man, subscribing now. Also.. I'm sorry you went through some bad times, but its nice to see you recovering. stay strong dude. and cheers!
I'll echo the sentiment from the comments below: Absolutely no need to apologize! Your physical and mental well-being should always be your number one concern.
Best of wishes to you from Scotland.
Glad to have you back bro. We're good on our end, we have endless cat videos to be entertained till your return. So sorry to hear what you've been going through. We appreciate you sharing your struggles. It's always positive to work on yourself and it's a great encouragement for us all to work on what matters most. Peace and glad to see you're ok.
As a creator/builder, you know the value of a strong and stable foundation...
Its awesome to see your priorities are strong and stable!
That's good news for us fans of your channel.
Thanks for sharing your projects and personal journey with us.
Again, as has been said before, no need to apologize but I personally do appreciate your content. As someone who has gone through similar issues, PTSD, anxiety, depression, BPD, amonst others. Taking care of yourself is the highest priority. Take care, & sending lots of support to you.
Mental health for yourself, family and friends are #1. Sorry for your hardship, hopefully each day provides something positive.
A little over 20 years ago, there was a majoy tragedy in my extended family. It taught me something very important. I learned that no matter how bad something may seem or how inconvenient or annoying, it could be worse.
Also, a personal quote I've told myself from time to time, "No matter how bad things seem, you are never trapped until you stop trying."
You don’t need to apologise, glad you’re okay, always focus on you’re well being
You are a class act brother! Sorry you had to go through those hardships. To echo the comments of others...no apologies needed! Life tests us all like that...but you endure, refocus and come out stronger. Good to see you back in action doing what you love and inspiring us all with your projects. Best DIY channel out there!
Been there sir... sounds like you're on the right track to get back to who you are. There'll be bad days... reach out to the ones that love and respect you for both the good AND bad days. Keep baby girl on the front.
I'm not a professional, but that way was what saved my sanity.
This may be my favorite video of yours. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and anxiety and it’s hard, but I’m also a serial DIYer and I love your videos. 🙌🏾Thank you for sharing. I’ve learned transparency helps people you wouldn’t think. Best wishes. 💚
Welcome back, Glen! The quality of what you do speaks for itself, which is why we are here. Thank You for the past,and heres to the future! 🥂
Hey Glen, glad you took care of yourself. We're still here. When you're ready, we're ready.
SO proud of you for putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. Your responsibility to your daughter and yourself is what’s most important. May God continue to please you and your daughter!
OMG! So glad you’re back! Glad you’re in a better space and my family will continue praying for your strength. Blessing to you! Let’s get it!
Glad you’re back.
I think one of the worst parts of this algorithm driven social media environment is that when a content creator stops uploading, it can go unnoticed until there's a "sorry I was gone" video. I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you're able to stay active with your daughter.
Exactly
Good for you, My mental health issues after my 14 year break-up took me down a 5 year hell ride.
Much respect for being so strong and in charge of your emotions, Then knowing when to ask for help.
That last bit "Until then, thanks for watching!" Had a very happy Levar Burton feel.
Good to see you back
Glad to see you are back. Sorry for your personal troubles, just remember, the sun will come up the next day and so will you.
Glad to see you are back. As someone going through a similar situation I’m finding it helpful to start pursuing the desire to take up the hobby of building things and woodworking so I can help keep my mental health in check. Good luck to you and can’t wait to see the new content coming.
Appreciate being open about this. Men need to know it is okay to have issues with mental heath. During my divorce I threw myself into projects instead of dealing with it. It was a rough road.
Absolutely no need to apologize or explain your absence to us. You do you buddy and put yourself and your daughter first. I will say, that smile at the end was great to see and I'm glad you're in a good space 👍 All the best.
Glenn, no need to apologize. There was so many comments, one even said you were dead and honestly felt sad to hear. I am so happy to see you are well and back on youtube. We all have been there, good for you to take time to deal with your personal issues. Happy to see you are back. ❤
OMG! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE BACK GLENN! I was really worried about you. I actually thought the worst and SO glad to see I was wrong. I'm very happy that you are in a positive place in your life now. Looking forward to watching your videos again! Much love!
Very touching - always thought you’re smarter and more creative than any of my architecture and architectural engineering colleagues I work with- curious if you’re an architect yourself?! Be well dear friend and prosper - may you and your family be blessed today and always.
Sorry to hear you're going through some tough stuff. You getting professional help is admirable--good on you! Taking care of yourself is important, so do what you gotta do to regain/retain your mental health. Appreciate your explanation. Sending you positive vibes!
I'm so sorry you went through that devastating loss. A breakup is just as tough to navigate as losing someone who has died. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey with us, and raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding it. The more people who talk about it, the more people will seek it out. I'm a mental health therapist, so it's always good to hear therapy has helped! Keep doing what you do! Again, thank you and best of luck moving forward. Lisa
God bless you son. I went through the same issue as you and was devastated. It takes a toll on you both physically and mentally. I'm glad you are back and there was in no way a need to apologize.
I understand completely. Although I was sorry to hear the sad news, I am very glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself. That should always come first.
With that said, I am also happy to see the new videos and I’m looking forward to any new content you share. Very inspiring.
I’m about to take on the biggest challenge I’ve ever attempted. I am completely redoing my mom’s place. The outdoor space is several acres. It will have an entertaining area, 5 stall carport, workshop, a couple storage sheds, a greenhouse, a garden area and possibly a pool. I will also be gutting two mobile homes and completely redesigning them so that she and I can move back to her place. I’m doing most of the work myself to save where I can. 🙏🤞🙏
So you do what you need to do and post when you can. Your loyal followers will always be here to cheer you on and wait patiently to see your wonderful ideas! ❤
Sending nothing but love your way! I'm sorry that you hit such a rough patch, but very happy to hear that you are using it to work on making things better. Don't forget to add God to your list of things to keep you occupied. In fact put Him at the top of the list and all things after will fall into place ❤ Greatly looking forward to more content from you - you were one of the people that most helped me gain confidence when first getting into woodworking and you continue to inspire creativity with every episode. You got this Glenn!
Welcome back. So many people have a rough year or two, and it sounds like you're on the right track.
My beloved Brother, you have absolutely NO REASON to explain nor apologize for needing to take care of you & do what needs to be done as a Man & Father. The Most High knows your heart & would never put more on you than you can handle. Keep pushing & know that THIS BROTHER (me) has your back. Shalom ✊🏾
I have faced similar difficulties in the last 2 years; the end of a long term relationship involving my daughter and dealing with my combat PTSD by turning to alcohol, which only made things worse. I commend you for dealing with your situation and finding a process that works for you. I only found your page today, my 8 month mark of sobriety. You have a follower for life. Thank you! Patton's Pals
Glenn, ánimo, es una etapa difícil por la que estás pasando, pero, con conocimiento de causa, te puedo decir que todo va a estar bien, parece el fin del mundo y que jamás podrá salir uno adelante y liberarse de esa depresión, no tiene uno ganas de hacer nada, además, esta esa sensación de tristeza asechándote en cualquier rincón tratando de tomarte por sorpresa y con la guardia baja para mandarte de nuevo al suelo. Mucho fuerza, que a la distancia, las cosas se verán diferente, yo te lo puedo decir, sí se puede, abrazos, y arriba y adelante, saludos desde Puerto Vallarta, México
Love you brother
Even though I do not personally know you, I can definitely relate as I have been through much of the same. Stay with the positive thoughts and actions. Time will heal almost everything from the past. Move forward knowing you will become a stronger person than you were before. Peace 🙏.
You're human like everyone else, just glad you took the time needed for awareness and healing. I enjoy your content and am privileged to benefit from it whenever you see fit to share.
No inconveniences man. I have missed you. You're super creative and I think your accent is cool as hell. If it says anything you are the only person I've ever actually purchased plans from cause I feel like you deserve the support . I got your couch, bed, and vanity in my house. That always sucks to hear man. You got to take care of you man. And it's perfectly cool that you took a break from RUclips but especially in your situation I hope you've got a strong support team of close people to help you through the hard times. Your only obligation should be yourself. We can come second. Peace.
I’m proud of you for sharing this with us. Sorry that you’re having to deal with this, but glad that you are recovering. Mental health is physical health. Your brain is an organ and when it gets injured, you have to take care of it. We’ll be here whenever you’re re ready. In the meantime, you can absolutely count on my prayers!
That is extremely great news. None of this matters if you are not good mentally and physically. Come back 10X stronger. You were one of many who inspired me to start my channel.
I just came across your videos today, new subscriber here. There's a lot of love for you in these comments. Thank you for being an inspiration.
I’m glad I am a subscriber, so I could catch this in my feed. I’ve enjoyed your diy videos very much, and that would have been more than enough. So, this is above and beyond that. It is making my day to see a young man being straightforwardly candid about the kind of thing that so many of us can relate to, but may feel embarrassed or awkward letting others (especially other men) know about it. You are a great example to others, and especially your own kids, for acknowledging your difficulty and seeking help from experts, and doing so openly, but with no self-indulgent whining or manipulative self-pity. Good man, and best going forward!
Uhh… okay… uh… well, back to building now😄
Welcome back! Glad your doing well. As a Veteran that deals with PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression I understand your pain. I look forward to seeing more of your products.
Things happen in humans' lives. The fact that you sought out what works for you to deal with the situation and moved ahead. I'm glad you came out the other side VICTORIOUS. Strength is in how a person accepts the hardships, learns, and moves on. Being there for your daughter will be a shining example for her with the type of man she accepts in her life. Stay strong, brother. We're pulling for you. 🙌
WELCOME BACK... KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT ATTITUDE AND THE BEST OF WHAT TO COME IS ON THE WAY! LOVE YOU BRU!
