"Sorry to all the people I frustrate that don't understand and thanks to the people who shared their stories of the same mental illnesses I have as it provided comfort and confirmation. If you or anyone you know has dealt with psychotic episodes or manic episodes I hope you find healing and a proper support system. It really is one of the worst mental illnesses to have since it can range from mild to wild. I have been talking to a Prophetess so maybe I can share some things she has enlightened me on very soon. Thanks for taking the time to listen to me ramble."

[@mjwgamer145]

With my autism I have episodes where I feel like people are out to get me. I feel like when I make a lot of mistakes people want to punish me and it's been giving me anxiety to the point where I feel like I'm being targeted. There have been times that I went to therapy to do some deep breathing exercises to calm myself down. I still try to control my thoughts and episodes but I need help with them. Cobi I'm sorry what you are going through in your past and I pray for your mental health to get better. You are an inspiration to everyone who watches you including me. Stay safe and peaceful ✌🏾

[@cobanermani456]

"Hey man I would say to focus on yourself and see what you can find online about autism. Search stuff like "mistakes commonly done by autistic people" and that way you can see what's most common and hopefully it will show you solutions. I hope things get better for you big dog"

I wouldn't be the man I am without him. I grew up watching you and this hits close to home, so I wish you the best. You're talented and your fans will be by your side during this tough time.

As a kid you made me a sonic fan. See the world through the eyes of people who are free. Autism was tough for me but now I'm living a life where I can focus and be myself. You did this to me. You are my hero. I love ya man. We all do. I out of everyone want you to be your goofy funny self and show me that magical point of view once again. I hope you heal and feel better. Now I'm not saying that everything will be OK but you can get through anything as long as you look to the wind and reach for the stars. See you soon pal

[@Lssj]

The brain is a very powerful thing. It will overpower you. Its hard when you among others are at a disadvantage over something you cant control. Just know that we are alive and we are human. We will have good and bad times. The good will always outweigh the bad. You just have to learn to enjoy the little things and i believe you tend to do so. I've heard your laughs in here, so its good to know that you arent dry and numb on the inside. We all have issues, thats the bottom line. We all have different demons. But as the day is long and you are alive and walking, you'll find yourself a sense of contentment at some point. Even if its temporary. Im glad to see you're alive and well.

[@lowestpoly64]

Every time I get to hear your voice it reminds me you're ok and it eases the tension. I don't have chronic psychosis but I genuinely can see what you're talking about when it comes to your psychotic experience. I've had very similar episodes myself when dealing with certain substances, and I've had friends go through serious psychosis too. And it's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Your experience with autism is also a direct parallel to my own, from the ruminating to the complete difference in cognitive function and social ineptitude. I seriously hope your situation improves and we'll be at your side as long as we need to. Peace! PS: I didn't know until today that the ruminating was part of my autism. I thought that was just me! Thanks for letting me know

[@HiImclutch]

[@kickrockskid]

It’s nice to see you’re doing fine, man. You were a big part of my childhood growing up, when I was younger I used to say “Hey what’s up everyone” to nothing but a screen whenever I played games because you were inspirational to me. I struggle with ADHD and it’s hard to focus or communicate with others but I get used to it. - You are a legend man. To me and your community. We’re here for you. Take care.

I'm diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and life is really difficult with out Medicine. I'm always thinking someone is after me and it's sucks because the voices I hear won't let me move on just relapses me.. times I stayed up for days just listening to the conversation I hear. And the anxiety gets to where I can't move. I rather see ghost and figures then see pictures of people I seen today and thinking they hear the negative thoughts that being said by the voice I hear thinking it's gonna cause a problem when they see me again. It's sad to because I think about the same thing everyday for years lost allot of time in my life. Group therapy is awesome tho you hear everyone's experience. Really comforts you when you know someone is in the same boat as you.

[@Jtmissile]

I 100% agree about how frustrating it can be with learning other people's brains and other people learning my brain. At the job I work at, there's a bar area that I really would like to learn so I can do it myself. But cos there is so much to take in, I can only take it all in properly when it's quiet and when I'm not under any pressure, something that's impossible at our place cos it's open 7 days a week. And cos I can't process info quickly and cos I need reminding several times how to do it, I get cold feet and back out when there's a chance for me to learn it. And it's admittedly really disheartening when I'm told that I've already been taught how to do it cos it doesn't matter when I'm being taught very briefly. On another note, it's good to hear you not having another episode Cobi. And looking forward to hearing some of your experiences.

[@cxmz23]

Honestly Cobi? Good on ya for getting thru all this. I may not have a full understanding to everything beyond your explanations but Good Job getting thru all the troubles put before you - not everybody makes it thru that sorta stuff so praises to your strength 💪

[@SpeedyBurst571]

Years ago when I was around 6 my dad brought me an Xbox 360, a day or 2 later I brought my first game, Sonic Unleashed which to this day is my favourite game despite all the mixed reviews around it. As a dumb kid I couldn’t pass the levels so my dad searched up for gameplay of the game and then I first found out about Coby. I didn’t pay much attention to him I just watched his videos but around 1.5 years back I decided to look back at him and I noticed that he hasn’t uploaded in 2 years. Didn’t think much of it, thought he might of just didn’t have the motivation for little kid games for 10 years. When I found about what happened and all the videos he posted about all the stuff he went through, I must of been watching all of it for at least an hour, I felt tears down my face. By every few months or so I come and check up on him and I couldn’t be more happy to see him improving. Thank you for making my childhood Coby.

[@MortonCammar]

Thanks for the update, stay safe brother!

[@jaded7466]

Hey Cobi, I've watched your videos for a long long time. I was raised by a narcissistic mother and dealt with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder for a lot of my life. I am 17 years old now, but your videos helped me to find an outlet for my frustration at my lack of social ability. I just want to say that whatever you may be going through at this moment, I pray for you every night brother. Words can't explain how thankful I am for you 🙏🏻 God bless you

Exactly 12 or 13 years ago, I accessed KZbin for the first time and searched for Sonic content. I was outside my home country and so I used to watch his videos consecutively. You were the first KZbinr I followed and I'm still a fan of his. I usually can't follow anything else about Sonic or Mario these days because I'm still used to your style lol, even today here in Brazil I talk about you to my friends saying that I know almost everything about Sonic because of you. Maybe everything that's unfortunately happening to you will change a lot of things, but we all want you to be well, bro, we're always happy when you show yourself in good spirits. Maybe you won't even see my comment but I just want to highlight what I always wanted to say to you...... Greetings from Brazil. PEACE

As a 16 year old that suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder, I can 100% relate to your struggles. I have to deal with a fair share of mental health disorders too, ADHD, anxiety, and recently, depression after a personal event. I am so glad to know that there are so many people out there that care about people with mental health issues, and if we all come together, we can push through a seemingly impossible line of attack from the disorders, and always emerge victorious. You're never alone, Cobi. We see you. We love you. We miss you. Hopefully things improve soon!

Hello Cobi, you probably won’t know who i am or why i’m typing this out but i am somebody that has been watching your sonic videos for a very long time since the early 2010s of youtube, And i just want to say that you are truly one of my favorite content creators growing up while watching sonic vids on the internet and to see how far you’ve came is really amazing. I just want to say to you that whatever the hardest battles you’re going through mentally is really down bad and depressing and i’m very sorry for what you are going through due to your personal life, i know it’s very tough to overcome this type of mental turmoil but i really, really hope at the end you can find that sense of hope and positivity again. I used to miss how you were so comedic and genuine and learned how to make everyones day brighter with each sonic upload that everyone watched together from your channel, it was almost a great day to see you upload those kinds of videos. But, from what i see now you are obviously going through something that no one can imagine what one person is going through all by themselves, and again I’m am very sorry. I will always remember you as one of the coolest creators back in the early days of 2010s youtube, and i hope your entire mental situation can get better. You will always rock the place Cobi and thank you for finding you on youtube as a kid. I believe you can get out of this better like anyone else can. 🫶💙

I’ve been watching you foreverrrrr and I used to moderate GCPM’s twitch chat (I know he’s not a good friend now) I just want to say I’m so happy to hear this update and extra bit of education. You sound much more at ease mentally in this video. I hope you get enough money for the lie detector test soon! Hearing you talk about Schizophrenia and Autism like this is really important. As a fellow black person, I already know mental health is never ever really talked about, like at all. And like you said, some people barely know about depression and anxiety let alone other common mental health issues. My damn UNCLE said to me last year “did you know you could have depression and anxiety at the same time?!” Like…..bro… lol and to make things worse, his son has Schizophrenia and is not very supportive of his moments of crisis and is not involved in his recovery process at all. Sorry for the wall of text, your story really helps me understand my own family a bit more. I hope you’re able to get away from your abusive family and get vindication from all the people who tried to slander you. I believe your experiences 👏🏾👏🏾

[@dudderbutter]

It's good hearing from you again, Cobi. I remember getting defensive over one of my friends talking about their autism and how I could be as well, but I was pushing the idea of it away because I thought to myself: "nah, that can't be me, I don't act XYZ all the time". Meanwhile, I look up "autistic masking" and low and behold, no wonder 😅 I also think poor media representation screws up peoples' perception on mental illness/autism a lot of the times, so when a person with those disorders acts differently irl, most tend to point fingers and complain about how that isn't the "right way" to be something.

[@toastedsauce]

Hey Cobi, I used to watch your stuff when I was really really young. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. And that you are doing very well for yourself all things considered, I understand that a lot of things you are doing probably feel like what you genuinely need to do for survival. I also am growing up in a household right now with abusive family members and I can understand a lot of where you are coming from brother. You are NOT alone, and everything will be okay one day man you genuinely can fucking do this thing. Don't let people make you think you are crazy for fighting in the best way you can with the cards you were dealt. I believe in you, and so does everyone else.

[@DarkSuperNinja]

I'm so glad to hear you speaking openly about your conditions; it's a strong step to some sort of normality (whether you recover or learn to live with it)! You've got this king! I don't have Schizophrenia, but I have Borderline Personality Disorder with a lot of psychotic symptoms, and there's nothing worse than feeling alone while your brain slips in and out of reality.

@nova_0_075 "bro I'm so sorry :'( hope you have been able to cope okay..."

[@Ktx.nova7]

@cobanermani456 This happened almost 8 years and I actually am so appreciative of your content since I used it to get through those tough times

[@sonoma4525]

It kinda breaks my heart what hes becoming. What happened to the Funny, Awesome, Gaming guy i once knew? was it all a dream?

[@Rocky-nn1mj]

You are not alone and I totally understand. I have autism and have been through hell and back so I get what your going through bro. I've been watching you for well over 10 years. You made my childhood. I feel like making gaming videos again and going back to doing what you love would make you feel somewhat better. We all miss you lots and hope the best to you. ❤ Love and respect, Rocky.

[@Crisis818]

I miss you cobi. You got me through so many hard times back in the day. God bless you❤

[@TradingI]

Omg it’s been a long time bro I used to watch your Mario videos as a child.

[@00xxfotisonickr1]

I’m so happy to hear your voice again Cobi, literally my childhood was wrapped around your channel, personally, I have no experience with autism or anything, but I have had friends that have gone through difficult times because of their problems and it is heartbreaking to hear about what they have gone through, and that you are going through similar times, but until the day I die, I will support you always, stay blessed ❤

[@MaineMania]

[@basherblast]

Cobi, you sound so much better in this video than you did a year ago man, I'm glad you're in a good spot rn man

[@leo_501]

You are never alone cobi ❤❤

[@mrcwillis6970]

Sorry to hear all the bad you’ve gone through. I won’t go into my mental health or my autism and how it’s made me feel, (plus I’m not the best at explaining) but I hope you will be able to recover ❤️‍🩹

[@cobanermani456]

"hey man I would love to hear your side. Maybe I can lead you in the right direction. The best way to help your autism is to just research it online. Sometimes you have to just type how you think like..."autism why do I have trouble fitting in" or "autism I can't understand jokes" or "autism strengths and weaknesses". That's what helped me."

[@mrcwillis6970]

@@cobanermani456 it’s ok. I’ve thankfully had support from my family and seeing the doctor. Appreciate the advice tho.

[@parapparappa2983]

I had friend who went through something like this and it put a big impact on her life especially when school came around. She was nervous about no one was paying attention to her until I showed up and got her the help she needed. Recently she called me and told me she was feeling better in life the she was. I hope your feeling better than ever Cobi.

[@FistofSpirit]

Thank you for the update, Coban. I used to come home from school and watch your playthroughs in elementary and middle school. Truly sad to hear everything that's happened since... You deserve to be happy man, and I genuinely hope you get the help *specific* towards you on the spectrum. I'm rooting for you!

[@sinister824]

It was nice listening to this Cobi I’m autistic as well (ADHD) I constantly feel like I have to always try hard to impress the people around me and I grew up as a good person to help out anyway I can no matter what even if I feel like I don’t fit in anywhere

[@cobanermani456]

"yes that term is called autistic masking. You try to mimic peers to 'fit in' but because our brains process differently it can be socially awkward or completely flawed. I hope you are able to find the proper support and guidance. I never did unfortunately but if you research your disorder you will be able to find solutions to fill some of those gaps. Hope that helps man"

[@sinister824]

@@cobanermani456 thanks Cobi I appreciate the advice

[@cobanermani456]

​@@sinister824"yes sir...I used to feel I was very slow in social settings and I was because I was homeschooled and autistic without knowing. When you don't know you have the disorder it makes it harder to know how to fix your issues. Just look up what you feel you struggle with and you'll find more info"

[@OFFONE]

We need a new sonic video

[@Sadee.456]

just want to wish you the best. your videos on sonic unleashed are what got me into the fandom. many people are rooting for you!

[@L.T.H.7032]

Can we please go back to the good old days, man? I miss my childhood, and that was you.

[@CabinetsAndCupboards]

hey dude. i’ve been watching you since i was incredibly young and you made my love for games like mario, sonic and many others. as a teen who’s going through autism tests along with tests for other mental disorders, i genuinely wish you the best. if you see this, keep rocking the place man. you will get a happy ending bro 🙏 i hope after all of this, the cobanermites can just go back to playing games even if it’s from time to time. i know it won’t happen, but we just loved seeing you happy doing the things you love. your content is your decision if you decide to keep going

[@blackwhiteeng6374]

[@skrunp3670]

This may be rude but I hope your enjoying the new Sonic x shadow game

[@JadenJPDB]

As a autistic youtuber i am i never think of my autism as a disability i think of it as a different ability which made me confident to become a great youtuber. Cobi you are the best youtuber we need. you are stronger than your demons and you can defeat them.

[@newtonmarte225]

PLEASE do a let’s play on sonic and shadow generations! This could be the worlds greatest comeback we miss your videos man
