Dear Joey, I wish you the best this world could give you. I don't know you personally, never saw you, never will see you probably, but I just love your personality. Everytime I watch a video of yours, it's so satisfying for myself, because it calms me so much down. And then, your crazy sides, your clumsy sides especially in your podcasts, it makes my days so much better. You are just so real, you tell us the truth. I appreciate it. I really do. Thanks for doing what you do. Thanks for being you. May God bless you

I love how you use your KZfaq platform to bring awareness to depression / serious topics

Your voice against this backing music is so calming and I suddenly feel so much more at ease

im blown away by the vulnerability & honesty that youve chosen to put on show in this video and i want you to understand the extent to which this genuineness provides comfort to, for one, me, and i think i speak for a number of us when i say that. your decision to upload this video is incredible to me and i love that this is something thats so therapeutic to you, because watching both this video and your anxiety video has been therapeutic to me. i find peace in the idea of something that brings you comfort also bringing comfort to me on the other side of things. thank you for constantly staying true to your feelings and thank you for willingly and determinedly sharing those feelings with us all. your openness has helped me through so many things for so many years now and i mean it when i say all of the energy and hard work youve put towards helping others is not for nothing. youve made such an impact on me and my outlook alone and i cant express that enough. your discussion of the way it feels when you reach out to someone and they dont respond even when you really need them genuinely hit home with me because thats something i think we all can relate to, and that feeling of "im annoying" is one that ive spent so much of my time lately feeling and stressing over and overthinking and knowing im not the only one in this position really lifts a weight off my shoulders. thank you for being up front about getting help, it has truly helped me with my personal internal battle with the idea of getting help. thank you for this video and thank you for being so open

These last few videos at the end when he looks straight into the camera and tells you it will be OK are so comforting idk. "You'll be okay" omg I just started crying. Thank you, Joey ♡♡

As someone who has struggled with mental health over the last few years, I just want to thank you Joey. I’ve only been watching you for 5 months at this point but your such a bright light and it makes me so happy. Because of these videos you’ve helped me so much. Thank you Joey

I struggle with anxiety. I cant describe how amazing and perfect you are. Thank you for this. I love this. I love you. Thank you. Waw.

i think it's hard to put together such a video

"It's okay to be happy." I love that line. When our souls are so tired that we feel guilty for being happy, feel that we don't deserve to be, or feel that it won't last for long. Happiness is valid too

This is why i love watching you because i feel like i have someone that understand me and i have the same problems that you do i have depression, adhd, and anxiety

I respect the fact that you're willing to open up like this. I could never do it.

It is courageous of you to speak out about this, as I'm sure it's not easy. You're doing a really great thing by talking about mental health not only because it brings us one step further to breaking the stigma but it also may be therapeutic for yourself. Both are equally so important. You're truly making a really positive impact on so many people including myself.

Going through a rough patch right now. I needed this. Thank you

I feel you on such a deeper level.... I’ve been going through a similar phase lately. It pains and hurts but it will get better, it gets better. Everything happens for a reason. We have to grow and learn and develop into another modified version of ourselves. You are amazing and I genuinely thank you for this ☺️💕

Joey, thank you for making my days better ❤️

Dear Joey I go through depression as well and watching this video made me cry cause you're such an amazing person. Take care of yourself, we love you 💞

I also have depression and I mostly don't know how to deal with it and this video meant the world to me all I could say to you is thank you from the bottom of my heart... PS I know there is a slim chance you will see this but I needed to let you know ~It's okay to be happy

I am very difficult at expressing how I feel with words. Thank you for saying the bit about specific words trigger anxiety/depression. It makes me understand myself better.

I don’t think I have depression but I just really related to this so much and I’m literally sat here crying. I’m a bit of an emotional mess and for years I’ve not understood why I always feel so alone and unhappy and I am finally starting to realise it’s because I’ve pushed all my problems to the back of my head that far that I don’t even know what they are and I can’t start to make myself feel better about stuff if I don’t know what I’m trying to make better. For so long have just put on a brave face and even acted like a bit of a class clown to cover the fact that life is tough. But I am realising now that I don’t have to always be ok and a lot of that is down to Joey and stay you. So thanks🙌🏻💛

Joey, I could relate to everything you said. I literally cried after watching this video. I am going through a lot of things, sometimes I feel like my mind will explode. I overthink, even the small things can stress me out. This is hard.. You're the best! ❤ Thanks though! What you are doing is amazing, thanks for being there for hundreds and thousands of people, you are loved by many. I can't thank you enough. Stay you and you are very beautiful. LOVE YOU.

i recently admitted to my best friend that i suffer from depression, it was so hard for me and this video and you in generally help me get through it, thank you joey. i love you

Hey Joey, I just wanted to let you know that you’re here for a reason. I might not know you, and you might not know me but I care about you. and there’s always a reason to live. you’re here for a reason. you were so lucky to be born because you have a better odds of winning the lottery then being born and you were chosen. there is a reason to live and I hope you find it. I found my reason 2 years ago and I couldn’t be in a better place mentally. I really hope you do because you deserve so much better.

Thank you for this I'm 19 and struggle with anxiety and depression too and never really understood it until recently. You spoke everything that I wanted to speak, I so understand the sleeping problems it's so hard to explain

Everytime I feel overwhelmed or just stressed about something I come back to this video and it always helps me 💕 Thank you Joey 💕

you have no idea how important you are to me, you're literally the reason why i keep going and i'm so proud of you.

It’s okay to be happy, happiness is love, the love that you have in your heart for the world and for the people around you, but most importantly the love you have for yourself! Be happy 💛

I literally just started and I'm already tearing up.... I just did a speech on depression so this video really means a lot to me.

1 year ago i had a depression too. I thought it was going to be forever. But i started talking.. (what was not easy at all) and i was going “better” I started to feel me happy again. And now i see it as a scar that was actually beautiful.. but awful to. I just wanted to say that it will be better - keep your head up, ly!💖 ps. Thanks for sharing this video! See ya!💓 10:06

Omg, this just might have saved me from falling into a deep depression. Thank you so much😢

Sending you lots of love ❤️

joey you never fail to inspire me, make me laugh and make me smile♥️ I don’t know what to say (and I don’t want to sound cringe or anything) but I feel you’ve helped me so much along the way and I’ve never even met you or spoke to you, that’s mad if you ask me. Honestly the respect and admiration I have for you is another level, I wish honestly I could speak about my thoughts and feelings more openly but I just want to say after finding your videos during the hardest point in my life you kinda change the way I view things, you’re someone to relate to and I’m sure not just me but to many Joey I don’t know what else to say ur videos just honestly make me feel GOOD, I’ve never watched one of ur videos and been in the slightest bit bored, in engaged or uninterested they make me smile. even if I’ve not had the best day, been in the best mood when I see you’ve uploaded that changes and do me, that’s mad so so mad. what else is mad to me is that I feel like I can talk and open up to you, when really ur just a stranger honestly if I were to meet you one day (I don’t know how, but I hope one day that is possible, seriously) anyway, I would THANK YOU endlessly thank you, joey honestly I hope you know what an amazing person you are and how many people you’ve helped and continue to help every single day. thank you so so much joey I hope you see my comments someday or we get to speak you’re amazing, so much love joey♥️x it’s currently 1:50 am, from England and I can’t sleep :)

Thank you for sharing 💛 you are amazing & I’m glad to be a part of this family

Aw I love you Joey, I truly needed this. Thank you so much for deciding to sit down and make this video, it means so much to me. ❤️

I know it must’ve took a lot to do this video , but thank you . you’re helping a lot of people with this I love you joey :)

Joey I absolutely love videos like these, I understand that they are hard to make, but please, please make more they have helped me so much!

You were watching friends as well. I used to watch the whole season of it just so i can escape from sadness and stuffs.

The way you described it, I feel it, the sleep, a noise, a smell can trigger my anxiety or depression and for me I can’t escape the constant tiredness, I’m always tired and I never know why. You’re amazing for talking about this and sharing your story, Thank you so much ❤️

I love this, Thank you for all you do for us, Joey. You have helped so many people and you deserve only the best! Thank you so much for all of the advice you’ve given us because it truly does help

I am so proud and admire of you that you can open up like that. I got told a lot that I shouldn't show my weak spots and not letting ppl know my secrets

You've helped me a lot. Your videos always cheer me up! Thank you for being you, inspiring people and being real❤️

Thank you for this video. Today was so bad for my depression. The only thing I am able to do today is lay in bed. So I’ve been coloring and watching your videos. You are so real about everything and it’s so helpful to be able to hear someone else talk about depression and to understand how hard the bad days are.

Ahh crying :’) The end where he says “it’s okay” ❤️

So proud of you for sharing your story, truly inspiring 💜

Tysm joey. Ive been going through a rough time and this just made me realize im not alone. 💛. Ty for everything and keep doing what youre doing

Thank you for doing this, I know it was hard but you did it and I haven't finished it but I'm sure it's gonna be great! You're great at talking about things like this without putting like humor where you shouldn't but also without being all "woe's me" or triggering me, so thank you and please continue doing things like these, I like that you're so real with us..?

Thank you. I think this video helped me understand myself a bit. It even gave me my first real little smile of the week. So really, thank you. X

It's okay :') Though you didn't find anyone behind the camera on KZfaq, but you still are helping so many beautiful people. And at times it is really very important for us to understand that it's okay even if things are not going well still it's okay, it's Okay! Love you ❤

It's okay to be happy.------- honestly I love your videos. Before I came across your videos I wasn't in the best mindset, but now I've been watching you for a little while and lately I've honestly felt somewhat good. And that never happens. So thank you joey.

You have a beautiful soul, Joey, and you are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for doing what you love and sharing your life with all of us. I will always be grateful for everything you do. 💛💛💛

Joey thank you so much for everything you have helped me through so much and i could never thank you enough!

i love how Joey shares his personal and real-life experiences that he had or is going through. You got yourself a new subscriber. I hope you feel much better because i am in depression as well but i try to be better but your videos help me so much.

I love the idea of writing what you go through in the week because I feel like a lot of the time we can just try and forget about what happened or act like it’s not there. This upcoming week I am going to write down what’s going on.

i’m so thankful for you and all the videos you make, especially ones like this. I found your channel about 2 months ago and i’ve been watching almost all of your videos and i can honestly say you’ve helped me so much. I just wanted to tell you thank you for everything you say it truly helps so many people so much

So sorry for your loss. Loss is not just associated with death, it comes in many forms.

Its okay to be happyyyyy 💞 I’m sooo proud you posted this Joey . You are so brave and you’ve got a huge fam behind youu xx

It's crazy how much I can relate to you, thank you so much for this genuine video, I watch you and all I can think about is the fact that being your best friend would be the best thing ever. You're truly a beautiful soul🧡💜 I've been dealing with severe depression for almost 5 years now and anxiety pretty much since birth haha and it's getting harder everyday especially when they're kinda of opposites, anxiety overstimulates your thoughts and emotions and depression just shuts you down. I feel drained and completely useless, I wish I could have one normal day cause I forgot what it's like to live and not just exist. I'm sending you lots of love from MOROCCO, we'll all be okay 💖

I did recently lose someone, they passed away, and they were close to me. I have been so confused and it happened at a time where I was managing my depression and anxiety so well. In about 5 days I go back to school for the first time in 4 weeks. I have no idea how I'm gonna handle this but your videos let me know that it's not supposed to be easy but it's possible yo make it through each day and that sometimes it's okay to be happy when you think you shouldn't. I think now that I can feel whatever I want to. I am allowed to feel whatever I want to. Thank you

Thank you so much for this video joey, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you to open up to us when i struggle to talk to my friends sometimes. I hope you know that this has helped me, and probably will help loads more people so from all the Kidney Beans, Thank you x

Its crazy how i just found this video now. When i was little i was diagnosed with ADHD. This past year I start having severe panic attacks and was diagnosed with Anxiety disorder, Depression, and OCD. I feel like no one understands me so when i find people who understand it makes me feel better i think.

your videos always make me so emotional and i genuinely love it. they makes me feel better. i think i have an anxiety, and since i started watching you, i feel like i can understand it a bit better. and deal with it a bit better. thank you for being so amazing. thank you for being you 🖤🖤

I'm so proud of you Joey! I might not understand the filming process of a typical video, but I know how anxiety feels like and how it effects daily activities. I know how it feels to feel lonely, having so much to do yet laying in my bed the whole day. I know how it feels to get irritated really easily, causing sleepless nights and going days without eating or days where i overeat. Thank you for sharing your ideas, creativity, knowledge and feelings with us. Keep standing strong, I love you

Proud of you for finally making this video 💛 I know it was probably one of your hardest to make but it will help so many people and that’s what you are all about 💛

I just watched this video, because I was close to depression, I felt it, and then one of my friends just send an amazing message, she didn't know how I was feeling, but she made me feel loved. That was the moment I decided to change my life, I left most social media for some time, but I stayed in touch with some musicians who understood me. They helped me to feel better. I started to workout more, eat healthier and working in our garden. Now I'm feeling so much better, and this evening I had a goodbye at the orchestra I played in. Our conductor was going to an other orchestra and I was leaving too. We had to make an A4 for our conductor, I didn't know what to write until this morning. It was personal and from my heart, he was the one who gave me the courage to continue, the opportunity to speak along a song, which gave people chills. I'm sad he's leaving, but i know he will be there for me, no matter what. He was my rock during some hard times, he made me laugh when I needed it, and I could talk to him about everything going on. Thanks to him I'm still here, and I'm so thankful for him to be around, when I needed him the most💕

Hey Joey. Thank you for explaining all of the feelings that I also feel. My eyes were full of tears when I was watching this video. I'm 26yo Japanese living in Tokyo and dealing with depression, it has been more than 2months. My current anxiety is thinking when this is gonna be over. when I am gonna be totally back those days when I was normal and okay. when I am gonna have the days I really can enjoy for all day not thinking about my depression. But maybe you're right, probably it is already part of me. I was thinking about my depression as my cancer, like tumor so thought I gotta remove it at all from my mind/body. But what if I could like this part of me and learn how to deal with it.. would be easier. I still miss "me" with no depression, cuz my first break down just happened this few months and I've never ever thought I would have this. It was really shocking and tough. I am taking my meds and therapy. I feel that I am still the lucky one who has the people trying to understand me, the technology that can connect people having the same thing with me, and the world can reach to the help and the people who has the courage to tell it about to the world. I'm really appreciated your video. you really helped me. so THANK YOU and send you LOVE from Japan :)

It's okay to be happy 💛 Thank you Joey! You deserve the world! xx

It’s okay to be happy. It really helps me when you say that because it makes me realize that I shouldn’t be feeling guilty for feeling happy. Lately I’ve been feeling okay, but every time I think about it I feel guilt for actually being happy and I feel as if I deserve to feel depressed all the time. You have really helped me lately and I just wanted you to know that you are really inspirational and that I, and many other people I’m sure, really appreciate you❤️

this is amazing, thank you for putting this out in the world, and helping people understand.

this video is literally a masterpiece. your soul is so genuine and I love how you show your emotions and are so real with us. love you joey

His depression and anxiety videos are insanely real. I’ve gone through those thing, still am, I think I’ll forever be going through these things. They make me feel like I’m not insane, I feel that way since no one around that I know of has this extreme of depression and anxiety. Joey, thank you for making me feel like I’m not insane and that others are going through the same thing I’m going through. Thank you!

Ik how you feel I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for years. I have suffered from eating problems as well and have a lot of panic attacks! Your an amazing person stay strong

This actually made me tear up, thank you so much for this Joey. I struggle with anxiety and depression too, it's just so comforting and helpful to have you share some of your own experience with us. I always say sharing is so powerful, together we can all strive for better days. Much love to anyone who reads this. 😊❤

i imagine this video would’ve been painfully hard to film and i am so proud of you for doing it. keep going, you’re doing amazingly. you’ve got this !!

We're there for you!!! I have been dealing with a lot of stress lately but like you said I have learnt to cope up with it. Don't worry!! things always get better

Sending you all the love in the world!💛

Thank you for this video Joey, and the resources, and also thank you for being strong and not giving up. I wish you nothing but better days ahead, and take care of yourself. You always look out for us, and we greatly appreciate that, but it's okay to put yourself first. Stay you

Thank you so much for sharing such private stuff. I am so proud of you, you are such a pure soul. I wish you the best, Joey. Stay strong!

I know I already said this but I want you to know your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Anyone can make a video doing what ever challenge trending but you think of a concept and put so much work into it from choosing the shots for the video and the music Choice. You never put out bad content and thank you for that I really love what you're doing 💛

I'm so glad that you made this video. I'm litterly crying because i recognize myself in it. Thank you so much for making this video!!

my friend has been going through a rough time right now and even though she lives far away she still leans on the friends that she closest to. i have been trying to get her to watch your videos because when she really needs someone she wont admit it and neither will i but these videos remind me of talking through things with her. i was crying by the end of this because those rainy days have been most days this semester and its nice to hear those feelings in words. i'm sending this video to my friend

you are a big inspiration to me,i love you so much and just know that we are all here for u and we love you 💗

so relatable, all my feeling which I was unable to understand, by this video you helped me through it, I use to cry myself to sleep, thank you joey for helping me out, thanks a lot

wow i respect how you are honest and how raw the video is, i admire the genuinity and i cried watching this video because i know the pain of going through it & can relate, you are strong joey ! You are always loved!

Stay strong Joey, we all love you and I am so proud that you finally made this video❤️☺️

This is probably the strongest and most emotional video I've seen. I relate so much to this but in a different way. I don't struggle so much with depression now but I still struggle a lot with trauma from my childhood. And I'm so glad that I always have a friend when things get bad. And I'm glad that you have it to.

I used to watch joey but I stopped a few months ago I was diagnosed with social anxiety and major deppression and I've started watching his videos like these and theyve helped so much❤

Thank you for being brave and for doing this video. You have a great impact on people so keep doing what you are doing. -Mel

Thank you so much for making this Joey it must have been hard and I know you probably won’t see this but thank you for all your videos and for being generally an amazing person❤️❤️

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for doing those videos and being so honest with it all. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for a few years now and it's been a little harder for me lately. I have to admit that I do have wonderful friends and they know about everything but still I don't really feel comfortable talking with them about it. I feel like they never take it seriously enough, they don't really want to understand it or just can't. So with your videos I see that there are people who feel the same and who would understand me. Thank you ❤️

Joey, You are the man for getting this out there I relate on so many levels. I’m struggling right now and it’s hard. With you I feel like I’m not fully alone.

Joey, THANK YOU! I just discovered this video and your channel today and this is the first time someone has put into words what I feel and go through everyday. I also have ADHD, anxiety and depression and it is so hard for me to explain to others what it is like to be in my head every day. So once again thank you! It feels so good know I am not the only one... thank you 💕

I can relate to this so much!! Thank you Joey, your videos are so inspiring! I have depression and social anxiety. I often feel like I'm alone in this, and that nobody understands me. It's good to talk about stuff like this. Thank you, and I love you! Stay you ❤

wow. you’re so strong joey. i look up to you. i love u so much :)

Thank you so much for your honesty and openness with depression and anxiety. I struggle with both, and sometimes feel like the only person in the world. It can be an incredibly lonely place inside of your mind sometimes. Your positive outlook on life and your willingness to discuss the dark parts of us is what makes your channel special. You create content for all of us and have touched so many people. You don't make videos for the purpose of going viral, you create videos to help others. I love you so much! Stay beautiful Joey.

every single one of your videos help me joey, your the greatest. Keep doing what your doing

I'm so glad that you posted this video.. thank you so much.. the only person who can help me right now is you and your video s and no one else.. Thank you..

i love you so much joey. thank you for making this.

Everything you put out there is so raw, so real. I know it can’t be easy but I’m so proud of all you do.💛

I’ve been watching your video all the evening and you are so incredible! Even if I don’t struggle with anxiety and depression watching your video makes me feel so much better. I just want to give you a huge hug😘

Dear Joey, I've never knew that someone understood how I felt like until I've started watching your videos. For the first time I didn't feel alone. For years I had to battle with depression and was so afraid of getting help. I thought if I went to get help, then people would think differently of me. I didn't want people to know what I was battling with. It took me a really long time to actually get help. Thanks to you, I knew that seeing a therapist was the first step that would help me get better. Since I've started seeking help, I've feel like a weight has been lifted. It's still a struggle everyday and I know that this is something that I'm constantly going to have to fight, but I know that life will get better, no matter how negative I can be sometimes. Thank you for reminding me that I have something worth living for and that I'm not alone in this journey.

I love how real this video is. You are such a positive light in my life. Thank you
