  • In this vlog, I talk about what’s wrong with me this past month and what’s been going on with me. I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately, and that’s why I haven’t been uploading regularly as I usually do. Particularly, I’ve been dealing with an acute episode of depression that has made it difficult to do anything at all.
    I’ve struggled to do things as simple as go outside. The thought of doing anything positive or anything that would make me happy has seemed extremely arduous. Depression is strange. I know I’m sad, I know I’m depressed, but I still find it difficult to do the things that I know would make me happy.
    I just want to express my gratitude and thanks to all of you viewers and subscribers who continue to support me and my channel. Your words of encouragement and your inquiries as to my well being are very sweet and much appreciated as well. I hope you all know that I truly care about you and the community I’m building with this channel.
    I am doing my best to get back to the things that do make me happy: making videos, exercising, learning and speaking Vietnamese, seeing friends, speaking to my family, etc.
    I hope that anyone else who is struggling with health or mental health issues can get the help they need and recover.
    I hope this video reaches you all well. I hope that if nothing else it is a friendly update as to what’s been going on, what’s wrong with me, and hopefully it is a catalyst of some sorts into getting back into being creative and doing the things I enjoy. Thank you all again very much.
    I filmed this personal update vlog in District 1, Saigon, Vietnam, in Co Giang Ward.
    Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed this vlog.

    I am very proud of you. That could not have been easy. You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. We are all flawed and all imperfect. Perfection is an illusion. Social media tends to perpetuate that illusion. Be kind to yourself. Nothing can be done about yesterday. Today is a fresh new day that anything can happen. I love you. I want to say to your fans, thank you for the love and support you have shown to my son. It makes me feel good knowing so many people care for him. Can't wait to see your new vlogs. ❤

    Been there, done that 4 times in my life. But each time I still had to get up for my childrens' sake. Took about 1 1/2 months to get myself up each time...just keep going...it will be OK in time....becoming a Christian stop me from falling into depression in my later years. Every time I feel I might be "going down", I recite the Lord 's prayer over and over again to distract my mind. It works for me so far....Thanks for sharing and God bless... By the way I am an Aussie living in Hanoi with my Vietnamese wife in the last 5 years...

    Hi Bentley, I understand what you are going through. What I can say is please look back at things that you have now and then find happiness in small things that you do like having a good night sleep, enjoying coffee, eating a good meal. Sometimes happiness is not a big thing like having cash, having cars, being famous, it is about enjoying what you have. Even though your channel has not been big yet, you are still on the right track. Please note that you may be not as successful as others but you are still better than many (such as me who was not successful in getting even 10 subscribers, lol). But happiness is something that is very easy to grab if you just value little things you have. For me, for example, having a show that i like watching and enjoying the meal that I like sometimes is happiness to me. I also set goals to myself such as earning money and taking better care of myself and my family. So I hope you can find peace and happiness soon.

In the future though, if possible, it is much preferred to tip via paypal (I put my paypal in the video description) because then I receive the tip immediately and avoid losing about 50% of the tip to fees charged by the y0utube platform.

    One way to fight depression is to keep yourself busy with something, so you don’t have too much time thinking about negative stuffs, like going to the gym regularly, pumping irons, build some muscle. Eat well. Stop smoking. Make yourself look good, and when you look good, you feel good.
    Also don’t let any negative comments on RUclips videos bother you. If you notice, many really successful RUclipsrs don’t bother to comment at all, like Mark Weins. Of course you are still a small time RUclipsr, so you need to engage with viewers to keep them interested. Ignore the shit talkers.
    A change of place should help too, either a different city in Vietnam, or a different country.

    Thank you for this video. It can't have been easy and shows what all of us who follow you already knew... you're a special and thoughtful guy. You mention imperfection several times... I see no imperfection in this video. In fact, it gets a Dank Rating of 9.3! We consider yours our favorite channel, and if we wanted a perfectly scripted/edited show, we'd probably subscribe to cable! Just walk and talk, take us with you exploring whenever you feel like it. We don't need highly edited... or edited at all. I too suffered from depression for several years off and on. It would descend without warning and leave the same. No discernible explanation for either. I sincerely hope your happiness flies back to you soon!! We've missed you (and your lovely girlfriend). Thank you for the great content you provide. Wishing you all the best from Joshua Tree!

    This video just makes you more real and relatable. Too many on social media only show bright, shiny, happy things even though their world is falling apart. Know that you are not alone and you are brave to even talk about it. Max McFarlin has dealt with depression and made a few videos about it. It does seem like you've got severe depression and oft times, I think it began with the negative voices in our heads that took up residence when we were very young. The longer we let these negative voices rule us, the deeper it etches it's presence into our brains. Very difficult to shake. It's akin to that "dark passenger" that Dexter spoke of (depression, not serial killer bent here) that just rides around with you or sits on your chest. It can be managed on some level, sometimes, but all those saying just go to the gym don't fully understand true depression. Kinda hard to go to the gym when you've no energy to do anything but lie in bed. But keeping busy will keep the negative thoughts at bay. I think sitting still in your own thoughts is the worst thing you can do if you have depression, even if you may "enjoy" it on some level or feel as if you need it. But isolation has a way of wreaking havoc on those with depression as it's just more time for them to get back into to a circular/endless negative state of mind and they cannot break out of the loop. I do think nature can sooth you on some level...maybe go look at her majesty. Gaze at the ocean and listen to the waves without people around. Go north to those majestic mountains of the northern Vietnam and let nature surround, embrace, and awe you...even if it's just for a little bit. Best of luck, Tyler.

One time I had my vitamin levels checked via bloodwork and was told I had almost no vitamin D in my body so any time I’m feeling down I start taking vitamin d right away and that seems to work. Also, just avoid negative thoughts and try your best to focus on positive energy. Enjoy and appreciate the little things. ✌🏻

    It's not OK to BE depressed. It is, however, OK to FEEL depressed. That can be the difference, as a state can not be changed, whereas a feeling can.

    Watching your video reminding me a friend of mine, a foreigner living in Vietnam. At first he's kind of loner, depressed, and did quite a lot crazy stuffs. I don't know your situation, but my advice is: finding a gf, don't rush, don't fall into crazy one, picky a little bit (you have a look for Vietnamese girls, seriously), find someone not too strong in personality, then find a job to communicate with locals around you. If possible, make friend with other to hangout, don't stay late, try to wakeup early in the morning. My friend got much better by following that.

    Hi Bently. I'm glad to see your video again. I hope you're feeling better now. Thanks for sharing with us. I agreed with everything you said in your video. We are just human beings. We are not perfect. Of course you are not perfect. No one is. There will always be some up and down moments. No one can expect you to be happy all the time, at least not me. I am not happy all the time. And there's no shame about it. Sometimes I feel depressed, sometimes I don't want to do anything, sometimes I have bad thoughts, but that's just who I am. There will always be shadow within you. It's a part of you, so there's nothing wrong to accept it. If you don't feel like doing anything, don't do anything. If you need some time for yourself, spend some time to take care of yourself. But I just want to let you know that I and your community, are always here for you. Take your time, take it slow, 1 step at a time. Do what you like, be comfortable with yourself. I'm sure some days will be better than others.
    I will be in Vietnam next month. If you're down to meet up and have a chat, let me know. I can't wait to enjoy my childhood food while I'm there. ❤

    Most people don’t understand depression. It’s absolute apathy. It’s like being a rudderless ship. It’s an almost complete lack of personal initiative and motivation. It’s not laziness, and no, you can’t just “get outside”, or whatever else people say especially when you can barely muster the will to get out of bed. The last year seems to have been hard on a lot of people for many different reasons. Yours are valid to you. You recognize it for what it is. If you’re conscious of it, then you can slowly pull yourself out of it. Don’t expect a change overnight but just keep trucking. Be patient and compassionate with yourself. You’ll be okay. Macabre thoughts are just your way of trying wrap your brain around that which was concerning you. The fact that you’re here, now, making this video is a testament to your mental strength. See you in your next one.

    Depression is common now, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. I have a good job, a loving spouse, and a nice house with everything I need and more. I have a big family, I'm still young and healthy, and I'm financially very comfortable. But guess what? I have chronic depression. I've lost all interest in doing anything besides the basic necessities to keep myself functional throughout the day. I guess my depression also creates anxiety. My point in telling you this is that you're okay. You're not alone. By the way, I heard drinking coffee helps with depression because the caffeine lifts you up. Also, try not to think about the past or future. Think of the present. Thinking of the past makes you sad, and thinking of the future makes you worry. Focus on now. Practice controlling your mind. Verbally yell out "Stop!" if your mind drifts to the past or future.

    This is going to sound a bit weird but bear with me. In the english language we say 'I am depressed/sad' but in the Irish language we say 'ta bron orm' which literally translates as 'I have sadness/depression ON ME', in english it suggests that sadness is a part of you but in Irish it suggests that it is a temporary state, something that you can shrug off at some stage. It allows for fluidity, the times in our lives when we have sadness on us but that sadness is always flowing in and out of our lives and never defines who we are as a person.
    When I have sadness/depression ON ME I recognise that I won't always feel this way and I learn to embrace it and learn from it (just like I can't be permanently happy I also can't be permanently sad)....I hope this makes sense?
    In the low times of your life you can learn so much about yourself, you choose to share your feelings which is wonderful and also gives encouragement to others to do the same (in particular men), you took your low point and turned it into some positive which is very brave and selfless.
    Don't be hard on yourself, you're human having a human experience, learn to love who you are during your low times just as you love who you are during your happy times. Remember you are a perfectly flawed human.
    This too shall pass......
