Speaking and sharing these things not only is helping you Matt, You are breaking many stereo typical views people have on the subject of mental health in relation to men and their sharing of these disorders. Being so honest about it all to your OG community may encourage other people feeling tortured within themselves to see they are not alone and find the strength to address their needs in relation to mental health. Great effort Matt

I would just like to say Matt that you are not “weak” In fact you are quite the opposite. To achieve what you have, inspire and motivate on a daily basis with your OCD and vasovagal-syncope is just a testament to your strength. We appreciate you big OG.

I can’t help but think about how most people will think large scale success will either solve or over power issues within themselves. As if it’s a way out. I’m sure this video is very relatable to a lot of us, thanks for sharing Matt!❤️

Wash & chat has always been my favorite format. This video is a classic example of why.

Man keep plugging away at it man. Definitely an inspiration. I use detailing as a way to deal with depression. It keeps me focused. Following your channel has been a big help. Especially after I lost my father back in September. I actually watched your videos while detailing his 370Z . It was his dream car. Felt at peace. Now it’s my 370z. So keep sharing/inspiring!

I hate to hear you're fighting those demons. I can relate to them on a smaller scale. I know it doesn't help when people say this, but I hope you know we don't view this as a "weakness" or an "area to attack you." What really struck me is when you talked about being content. I REALLY struggle with seeing all the good in my life. I seem to always focus on the negative instead of enjoying the positive. I always want more, more more even though what I have is really nice. Matt, this channel is helping people more than you'll ever know. Keep talking to the camera my friend. You have an audience that needs to hear what you have to say.

Matt I could NEVER understand on the caliber of awesome content you make, and the connection to your viewers you posess to your viewers that you can have only over 150 some odd thousand subscribers. Lol. I understand why you have the audience the way you. You are YOU and I love the realism you demonstrate towards your well being. It be most days I handle business in my life, and at the end of the day I can unwind and watch your videos and can vibe and understand your world. Also aside, it gives me an excuse to learn many different products and invest in them. Furthermore, keep up the content. Have full faith in GOD and your destiny in limitless my guy! #salutefromOhio

this is crazy because about 3 months ago i started dealing with anxiety and depression because of a sickness that is going through my body that the doctors cant seem to figure out, and i have been watching youtube religiously for 4 or 5 years im 19 now and the other day i shit you not i was watching your video with helplessly laying in bed like i will never be like matt and live a normal life because of my anxiety ( i swear i was thinking that while watching your video) take over not knowing you go through the same thing. thanks for showing this side of your life it helps me knowing im not the only one.

Matt, one of the best parts about you opening up like this is seeing the comments below. Just seeing the backing you have from all of your "crazies" is truly heart warming. Keep doing you. We all can help you get passed the demons you face on the daily.

Matt, I want to say thank you for sharing. As the others have said your are not “weak” you are an amazing human being. Allowing us to view your personal life and being part of it. As a father myself you are an amazing role model to your family. So continue to be who you are. I know it may take time but you will get through it. Stay Strong!

Matt, you are the man. It’s such a breath of fresh air with you being so honest, unlike so many youtubers now a days. I feel like I know you on such a personal level yet I never have met you. Thank you for being so awesome.

Thanks so much Matt for opening up like this. I was diagnosed with a rare form on uncurable M.D. at 25 and right now no one can "see" my disease but I live with it everyday and it SUCKS. Proud of you for talking about your issues out loud. It means a lot.

I also deal with several forms of anxiety and issues dealing with doctors etc. cars are my therapy. I have to stay busy. I pray you get control of this.

You are speaking my life... It’s hard and people that don’t struggle can’t understand. Thank you for sharing. You inspire me to share my story. 🙏🏼

Incredible to roll through the comment section and see soo many positive messages. Keep your head up Matt, what you do, day in and day out is fantastic. We appreciate it. Never stop being you! Team OG is always rooting for you!

In all honesty, when I first started watching I was getting an narcissistic vibe from Matt. Over the weeks though, especially after listening to a few podcasts, including both of the Larry interviews all of those opinions have vanished and I have much respect for Matt. I suffered Syncope issues while driving, which led to Anxiety and depression which nearly had me ending my life. I'm totally understanding of your struggle and everything. I wish nothing but the best for you and will continue to support you Matt!

Matt, I appreciate you blatant honesty, as a 3x cancer survivor I have dealt with the anxiety you speak of over the last 14 years. Cars are great therapy for all of us and I wish you better health and success with you endeavors.

I'm rooting for you on all fronts man

Sleepy Hallow vibes in the background on the property with that rain and the trees. I love it lol. Us OG, OG’s are so here for the future of this business. I love it.

Thanks for sharing Matt. I can’t claim to know exactly how you struggle, but I can appreciate getting stuck in your own mind. It’s tough when physical and psychological symptoms feed each other. Keep working on it and have a great day!

You’re not alone Matt. Thank you for sharing your experiences; more of us align with you than you might ever know.

Thank you for sharing your story, and more importantly your feelings, with us! I can relate to much of what you talk about, particularly the concept of always worrying about “being ok.” I constantly worry that “today’s the day,” be it the day one of my cars gets hit, the day something bad happens to me, the day I lose my job etc. I think it’s one of the reasons I love washing cars, you have total control of the process and result, to me that’s a very soothing feeling.

I often get in trouble because I find myself "auditing other people", their words, their grammar, their decisions, etc. I use the excuse that I'm doing it to keep myself sharp. I CAN'T STOP DOING IT! I try to resist acting on the impulse, but that makes me anxious. At one point, I started writing down the things in my world that are "broken, damaged or just not PERFECT." Little by little, they got fixed or replaced and it didn't take long to realize - don't sweat the small stuff. But, I'm single, no kids, no $1,000,000 home, no blossoming business venture...frankly, I don't know how you keep it together! Thanks for sharing.

Matt you are very brave to share your struggles. Not only is it therapeutic for you, you are also helping others who deal with similar issues.

Great to hear you talking about this, something that not a lot of people do and I'm sure it has helped a lot of people or some people can relate. You have plenty of support around you with all your supporters and family, loving the channel and keep doing what your doing!

Matt, you are not weak at all. I have stage 4 cancer and have had two major surgeries, going through my second chemo regimen, and have frequent MRI and CT scans. This has been very stressful on myself and my wife and my teenage kids... hearing what you are going through made me tear up. I hope you can make your day to day life to be whatever normal you want it to be. I have been through a lot but I can put what I am going through out of my mind most of the time. Can't imagine not being able to do that...I'm pulling for you!

Matt, thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life. Many struggle with mental health, but few people have the courage to share as you bravely did. Your story is an inspiration to me. (as I am sure it is to others) Much respect. Definitely staying tuned...i'm in love with the color of the M3!

Thanks for opening up. I am dealing with issues myself. I will follow your lead and talk about it. Thxs

You’re not weak Matt, in reality you’re very strong. You are sharing your feelings with the entire world and getting the help you need all while killing it as a business man, dad and husband! That’s no easy task, even for the greatest of men. Keep it up!

I’m a young guy and I’ve been dealing with some developmental anxiety and whenever I see you share it just makes me feel great and hopeful that I’ll be able to live with it some day. You rock man you’ve become my favorite detailing personality in recent months.

Thanks Matt. You have no idea how much I needed this. Your channel truly has changed my life.

Total respect for you sharing your story and situation. There is something about how you share that gives me inspiration to accept some of the junk that goes on in my head. My coach talks about being unHidden (acknolwedging, sharing, accepting who/where/what you are etc) and I totally see that in you. So thank you.

Mental health is veryyyyy important! Been following the channel for quite a while now and this was the first time i heard you talk about your obsessive compulsive disorder. Thanks for sharing!

Matt u r not alone I feel the same way... Glad there is someone else out there that knows rhe feeling

Thanks for sharing my friend always here to listen

I'm rooting for you matt and the best thing for it is to share. I think you'll be Impressed with the support you get. Dont waste a single second being mad about how you feel and spend more time acknowledging it, dont belittle just build

Matt, it’s good to release your thoughts in this manner!! I’m sure it gives us all some food for thought( it does for me ) 🤟🏻

I appreciate you sharing your struggles. It helps us fellow "compromised" people to hear that even in your position, mental struggles can be debilitating. M3 looks great!

Listening to you is therapeutic. Thanks for the great content

Matt, you are not weak buddy, it takes a lot of strength and courage to open up about this. I pray you can enjoy all the success and the beautiful family you have. You will get through this rough patch. Trust me, we all have our tribulations, as I sit here in no-where Pennsylvania, away from my family...doing the responsibilities work thing...feeling depressed as hell, just know we all got your back and we all go through something, you’re not alone, hang in there, bud.

Love the honesty and the humility that emphasizes your stand out character. Watching your videos is a big reminder of what's important; honest self assessment of ones self and the intrinsic drive to learn. Your mindset of improving/maintaining is where true purpose is discovered. On a side note I crashed my jerez e92 m3 two weeks ago and I think I gotta replace it with Le Mans slicktop after seeing the blue in your perfect lighting

This may possibly be my first comment but I’m a LOONG time fan. I found your channel at the time my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May of 2017. Your videos have done more than you could ever imagine for me. I truly hope you find your peace with your struggles and thank you for spreading your message. Look forward to more videos, thank you.

Thank you for sharing, and truly one of my favorite channels to watch. No fluff.

I was diagnosed with panic disorder about a year and a half ago(I'm 27) and I go through many of the same issues you do Matt. My fear is of passing out in meetings at work, interviews or situations when I'm speaking to more than 1 person at a time. I went through the difficulty of driving, and still feel that fear at times when I have someone in the car. I can completely understand the frustration, and feeling of helplessness that these mental health issues bring to your life. My biggest fear in life at the moment is what you're going through; attaining all the things I want out of life, yet still struggling to live a "normal" life without fear of having mental health issues and the lack of understanding society has for it. I really appreciate you making this video, it gives me hope that despite all the issues we have in life, we can attain the things we desire and make us happy and continue to move forward.

Keep doing this man, these videos are like therapy for me.

You are an inspiration. Don’t beat yourself up Matt, just be you. Keep up the good work, I wish you all the best!

Thanks for putting yourself out there dude. It sounds to me like you've got a pretty good handle on things. You've got a set of coping strategies that you know you can rely on when you need to; you recognize the need to cope in the first place; and you know when you need to involve other people in your efforts to get right with what you are feeling and experiencing. A big part of the struggle is dealing with the sort of meta-level self-assessment loop that people often find themselves in, even if they're not diagnosed with OCD or other anxiety disorder. It's not just how you feel, but also how you feel about how you feel, and we can hear you verbalizing your way through those cognitive and emotional loops in ways that are easy to relate to. Videos like this are valuable not just because they spread awareness of what OCD is and what it feels like, but because they promote the value of people treating each other with decency and compassion, as evidenced in the comments below. By taking care of your cars and talking about your life you're not just helping yourself, you're helping all of us out here in internet land too by making KZfaq less of a toxic shithole. Keep doing what you're doing.

OCD is crippling and you said it perfectly, it’s not about being organized it’s that worry of knowing if you did it right and thinking in your head the millions of outcomes and thoughts about every little detail.

You want to keep the positives and get rid of the negatives of what you're going through, and at the end of the day what person doesn't want that we're stuck with the hand we're dealt and have to make the most of it also you're far from weak, you're dealing with these "demons" day in, day out and yet you still have managed to get to where you are, inspiring countless along the way and hopefully it goes up from here, hope you get the help you need life is far from easy but see it through and the results will be worth it, massive respect for you man

Thanks Matt for sharing. I too use detailing as an outlet for stress relief and it's very therapeutic. By the way I truly love your M3.

Matt, thank you for being so frank and open. For years i dismissed my son's "attitude" and kept up with the "pull yourself together" mantra. Now I understand his depression and Anxiety far better and am trying as best as i can to help him. Many parallels with some of your thoughts. Good luck there and i love your channel.

Matt, I understand, I really do. I got to a point where i couldn’t ride in a crowded elevator or ride on a bus. Fortunately i finally found a doctor who really listened, as i hope you do. The correct medication, can, make a difference. Best Wishes

I have always enjoyed your channel because I relate to your condition and you inspire me. I did not know that anyone else experiences the fear and unexplainable anxiety that I do. Thanks for sharing, you help me feel a little more “normal”.

Dude! It's freakin good you spoke about it! Don't let life get you down!

Deep, but great video. I relate super heavily to this topic and it feels good knowing I’m not the only one.

This video was very powerful and included the deep conversation that I subscribed for in the first place! Thanks for sharing Matt and best of luck with the dentist :)

Excellent video, your an inspiration, don't stop doing what your doing.

The honesty and humility is valuable, especially for younger guys, because it’s so hard to take steps towards improvement when you’re in the middle of a rough patch. Important message, thanks for the video Matt

Best video I’ve watched on KZfaq. I applaud your honesty, Matt.

Geez, thought Matt had it all together. Good luck with everything Bro, hope help is the answer👍

Amazingly open vlog. You are not alone with many of your "issues". But you are alone in allowing others to not feel isolated and alone. Bravo to you for opening up and I wish you personal happiness and peace.

As someone who also suffers from anxiety and struggles with it every day, sincere thanks for the talk. It's not easy, won't ever be, but watching the strict attention to detail on this car let's me know that an M3 will solve all. Kidding but thanks, salute. Ok not totally kidding because I'm still getting the M3.

Thanks Matt. My brother has a masters from UF and doesn’t leave his trailer my mom bought for him. Mental health is real.

Glad that detailing was a way for you to open up and clear your mind. Those who don’t have anxiety or OCD do not understand the constant challenges we endure. No matter what we have in life when it comes to material items at the end of the day those who have the mental illness just want a piece of mind at all cost. Stay OCDSTRONG and keep doing your videos love the material.

Thanks for the video Matt. Commenting on videos really isn’t my thing, but after watching this particular video, I wanted to congratulate you on your bravery and encouraging you to continue to stick with your selected method of releasing your thoughts. A lot of pain that we are dealing with are really only thoughts. The coping mechanism you learned to release those thoughts and feelings was demonstrated perfectly in this video and other previous videos you made. You said yourself that you felt better by the end of the video, and I agree that you were more stabilized emotionally at the end. It didn’t mean the issues were gone, but you were more reasonable minded In the moment than emotional minded like you where when you started the video . I appreciate your honesty, true feelings and thoughts, and I’m pulling for you champ. I love your videos, your dreams, your vision, and all your desires for yourself, your family and the people that follow you. I’m a fan even though I can’t afford majority of your items, but I enjoy your passion and your confidence to make your dreams happen in spite of the war that’s going on inside at times. Last thing, take the least approach first. If your coping skills doesn’t feel to be as effective or you need a little more additional support during this time, go back for some psychotherapy with a therapist for maintenance. Medication/psychiatrist is one out of many options to decrease what you are feeling. The world is a better place when you are your best self.

You are incredibly brave and stronger than most to tell 150,000 people your struggle Matt. You have all our support I am sure. Stay strong man, and stay obsessed. we love it!

"But while this is all happening, I'm daring to be great." I think that's more than enough proof that you're not weak, and I know it sounds cliche. Dealing with mental health problems isn't for the weak, and I can totally relate. It consumes your days in a relentless way. If you have to be on medication, so be it. You're not less than anyone for it, it's only getting you back to where you should be mentally. You'll get through this, toothless or not lol. Best wishes, Matt!

I can relate to you. I have had the same problems for the last few years, and i’m only 16. Traveling was so hard, I was always concerned that something was going to happen to me, and i couldn’t catch my breath, and my anxiety would go through the roof. I have learned that it’s mind over matter. You have to tell yourself that everything is okay. Say a prayer. It helps. Car detailing is a hobby of mine, just like yours. It helps me keep my mind off of stuff, and just focus on the car. Listen to music, high volume and listen to each word. I know this is a long comment, but I know what you are going though. You’ll be fine, I promise! Keep focusing on your cars and your family! You do great at it

Thanks for sharing Matt. You’re strong.

I have mad respect for you Matt! Pretty cool of you to open up and share.

Thanks for sharing Matt. I have similar fears over the unknown, mainly revolving around my future career path. I’m constantly asking myself “is this right for me?” instead of just enjoying the ride. I get extremely stressed out by grades in school and I think myself into a place of worry. I was in a really bad place mentally during the middle of this semester, struggling with homesickness, anxiety, and really stressing out over school, to the point where I would hardly get out of bed, not eat, and constantly have an upset stomach. I’ll have irregular heartbeats, start sweating, get clammy, etc. I’ve always put on the facade of this perfect life, with perfect friends and perfect grades, but now that I’ve enrolled in a really difficult engineering curriculum, I can’t maintain the facade that I once could. It’s hard to come to the realization that nothing in this world is perfect, no matter how it seems from a different viewpoint. Thanks again for sharing man.

Hey Matt thanks for sharing your issues. I think doing OG and your future plans are all part of your therapy, just like talking to all your viewers about your issues. It makes no difference how much wealth or toys we may or may not have mental health affect all walks of life. I think you are doing OK and as you said OG helps you just like talking about it does as well. I love what you do and your quirky ways so stay strong and well buddy all the best from 🇦🇺

Keep at it dude, anxiety is one of the toughest things to deal with. My wife has it and you’re right it is crippling. Love your channel dude! Keep up the good work!

So many go through this exact feeling. best way to deal with it is take it day by day and pray eventually the feeling will go away over time but you eventually learn how to mentally deal with it and make yourself not get anxious or feel that way. hope you get through this as did I and my older brother.

Hey man, thanks for sharing your struggle. I'll be praying for you.

Wow, it was really interesting hearing of your issues. Hope you're feeling better sooner rather than later. I don't have OCD but am very aware of how crippling it can be and watching this channel for a couple of years has added to that. Because of my obsessive car cleaning, I'm called OCD all the time but I'm far from it. I'm just not lazy!

We get you mate, we all battle different things - everyone’s got your back

Thanks for sharing I know from experience it takes A LOT to open up with feeling anxious and the triggers

Hey Matt sorry to hear you're struggling so much but you're doing a great job and are an inspiration, will say a prayer for ya that hopefully you get some kind of peace from this one day. Take care

How you deal with this fear every day of the unknown but you had the guts to start this business and put all that stuff out there is just beyond me. Fear of failure seems so much more profound to me than the unknown, so at least you have that strength going for you. Detailing and organization probably appeals to you naturally because it's actions and an environment that you can control, and you get that relaxation from exertion of that control with predictable and positive results. You reward yourself, and it feels good. Maybe that's not how it is for you, but with my mental issues and anxiety, that's how it works for me. Keep going!

Matt, you’re actually the antithesis of weak man. Glad talking to us other “ crazies” helps. And I’m sure I’m not alone in saying your sharing in some way helps us as well. Godspeed brother 👊🏼

I have alot of respect for you Matt especially after this.

Thank you be being open Matt. I don't have Ocd but I've suffered with a panic attack and different levels of anxiety. Right now I'm using Cbd which seems to help.

Took some guts to share this, honestly. You're not alone in this. I will definitely be praying for you, that your mind will be at rest, and you won't be tortured by fear. Kudos to you for not letting this hold you back, you are a lot stronger than you think, a lot of us could not even imagine dealing with this.

Just a friendly reminder that you are great. You've helped a lot of people in all your successes and failures, if there is such a thing as failure.

Matt seriously thank you bro. I suffer from anxiety as well, and it feels like I am all alone sometimes, hearing you talk about yours somehow makes me feel less alone as stupid as that may sound. Honestly thanks for sharing. I hate talking about this but this helps.

Matt thanks for talking to us. Enjoy your kids and wife to the max! I hear your pain .

Love your honesty! It shows the purist form of confidence that there is imo. I actually passed out due to vasovagal syncope over 13 years ago, on my eldest daughter’s birthday, two weeks before our youngest daughter was to be born. Aside from these obvious stress factors, insufficient sleep, and slight dehydration contributed to this occurring.Fortunately for me, I haven’t felt the lightheadedness that precedes this experience, until recently when I was running a medical test, where they ask you to hold your breath and press out in your centre section. Actually had to stop the test a few times because of this lightheadedness coming on. I guess my point is, there are things that you can do to minimize the risk of this occurring, but ultimately it only makes sense to focus on the things that you can actually have control over 😉!

Matt you are an inspiration for all of us OCD folks

Thank you opening up, I have similar issues, I have a higher level of respect for you today! Thanks man!

OSD also doesn't mean your are organised. Mine gets me when I am always thinking I forgot something or didn't do something. At times I will sit and stare in space and go over in my head what I did or didn't do. I didn't realise how bad i did this, until I started doing videos on youtube. I have seen in my editing process I would just sit there for minutes doing nothing. I can thank you for giving me the idea of videoing my release. For your condition you are doing allot more, way faster than I could ever have taken on. The planning alone would have take me twice as long. Your doing fantastic.

Take care man I live with anxiety on a daily for about 29 years now so I can understand how you have to talk to yourself to get back. Good luck with this that you have and keep up the kazzy.😊

Hey Matt! Just thought I would let you know I used to go through the same thing every single day. I have never passed out but I get these waves of feeling like I’m going to pass out. It is really hard to get out of the “am I ok” thought process. My best advice I can give is to understand that it is ok to be scared and it’s ok to panic. The only way to beat anxiety is to let it happen. I know it sounds crazy but if you can get comfortable with the sensations and know that you will be ok...eventually the anxiety has no control over you. I hope any of this helps! Also people that battle with anxiety are the strongest people on the planet! So don’t you ever think you are weak. Thanks for continuing to make great videos :)

Hey Matt I enjoy ur videos man , just wanna tell u everything’s ok . I’ll be praying for u man . Keep up the good work with the videos there great !

It’s nice to know other people struggle with OCD as well. Thanks for sharing Matt.

Keep grinding man, I have a little something like what you described. I constantly worry about if I’m going to be successful in life.

Everything will be fine Matt, you have your family that loves you, you have us, we love you brother. Keep you head up

Hi Matt, Thank for sharing so sorry to hear your going through all this stay positive and see what help you can get to get better, I know it sucks eight years ago my life changed was in a bad car accident but was so lucky I was not hurt bad yeah Volvo :) but spinal pain never heald and then was diagnosed with progressive MS disease and now my life has changed some days I don't even know who I am I was a very organized person a lot like you but now it's a struggle because I get overwhelmed just thinking of things I need to go or organize and I feel ill or sick it sucks but my heart goes out to you your one of the good ones stay positive, take care always again thanks for sharing.

Good on you for sharing boss! We all have our struggles and road blocks. It’s what makes us human and unique. It takes a lot of confidence and to put those things out there. Keep hammering ya psycho!

Although I am only 20 I’ve had severe anxiety and OCD ever since I could remember. It’s a real struggle but honestly watching you helps me a ton. Knowing someone who is, not kidding, pretty much a older version of myself become so successful is very inspiring. Other than cars/detailing tournament fishing is the 1 thing that really runs my life and my anxiety got to the point where I was almost going to sell my boat. I have been saving for that boat since I was 7 so it’s very meaningful to me
