I always wonder if I’ll get killed in an accident (I’ve been in a few bc I’m not a defensive driver) and I’m unsure bc traffic scares me. Ofcourse I have to drive on the highway. I’d give anything not to drive but the only good thing is I can leave when I want or jump in the car to get things I need. Other than that, I don’t like it. If you start to drive you just have to have confidence.

@Becca Quirk I definitely understand, Becca! I'm 28, honestly got my permit the end of August this year and had my 2nd official driving lesson today, with an actual instructor. When I got the permit, my mom took me out a few times just to parking lots to get a feel for driving, but my comfort level and confidence in myself has grown SO much with just the 2 official driving lessons I've gotten. I had an INCREDIBLE amount of anxiety attached to driving, for a number of reasons. When I talked to people about it, I always cried because I felt SO judged by them, especially by my dad's side of the family, for not learning earlier. But I learned it's ok to go at your own pace :) One day, I just said, yeah...I think I can do this now. Because I finally felt ready mentally. And today, as my 2nd lesson, I drove on a highway, nerve-wracking as that was XD But I was ready to push myself. Go at your own pace. And when you're ready, YOU GOT THIS! :)

It's inspiring and admirable that Drew is going through the exhaustive yet restless extent of some good examples of the tangents, loops, and thoughts in his head. A lot of which I wish he was able to expand on more even! but as someone that gets into that state frequently. That cuts themself off, debates myself on whether to go on, and often forget ideas altogether, and the internal panic blue screens my brain. So I get not going into more or feeling ashamed or embarrassed for what does come out from a place of "is it good enough". It doesn't feel like it could ever be but that could change one day, or decrease at least. There's something special and interesting about relating to some of his mental gymnastics with similarities in my mental games with myself. It also reminds me that we all have to deal with it. All. The. Fucking. Time. Words are often hard for me so it helps to see a side of myself reflected in one of my favorite preformers in a way that is still entertaining and pushes me to cheer on Drew-- and better grow this part of myself with a similar attitude I see in passing or what I can find #relatable to keep creating. Transitory points are weird and confusing, but there's a lot of beauty in the idea and the difficult, self-conscious anxiety of "becoming" yourself as well as "being" yourself. I'm impatient as hell, but it's more about the process along the way than "being", rather than being frozen in time as cardboard cutout of you versus the capacity of you experiencing. I hope for Drew and anyone coming across this lump of text that it brings some comfort in their day. Or to ease the pressure we all put on ourselves daily. You're doing your best to be your best and endlessly trying to nip at the weeds growing from the seeds of self-improvement, doesn't that mean you're the best version of yourself that you can be? Can it be good enough, if not for right now?

Then extend it, 1 second, 2 seconds, praise yourself for improvement and z e r o judgement. Eventually being able to sit for minutes (or longer!) in *pure* silence is where you find the good stuff. It's a very incredible tool

I watched the whole duration of this video and I HATE how much I understand where you are coming from. I relate so much even the tangents or beliefs you don't expand upon. Sincerely though it is refreshing someone of your honesty and it's just helpful listening to someone going through the bouts just like I am Thank you Drew 🙏 wish you all the best

i record myself rant/air thoughts just in the form of personal voice memos & while it’s not necessarily the same as posting it for many to see/hear, i think the benefits are the same nonetheless! it’s good & healthy to air out thoughts in your head and to verbalize what you may feel (even if it’s not perfectly said in the moment) bc that helps you solidify your understanding and eventually the extisential dread / hyper-awareness wanes. your personality is lovely and i love this! keep doing it for as long as you like !

As a therapist myself ( 23:06 ) I agree with you, many many people can do what we do. However, the training and supervision is imperative to be a GOOD therapist, and it's awful that there's awful therapists out there that don't help (or might even hurt) their clients... I hope you have a helpful therapist that is good for you!

drew, darling, I need you to know youre the most valid person out there. These videos are great because its refreshing to see that humans, although we may live different lives, have some similar thoughts/actions/characteristics. And yeah that may sound dumb because 2 out of 7 billion are bound to be alike, but not everyone is surrounded by like-minded people/ people who share the same thought patterns. It's just nice to not feel so alone even when it appears like it. Like man I have never met you but I feel like you would get me more than anyone ive met. Thank you for letting us listen to your thoughts and allowing us to take this journey with you.

While I don't make videos, I feel like I can definitely relate to you about "living in the future" so to speak. I'm an artist and recently I've made it my full-time job where I'm my own boss and so I'm literally constantly thinking about new designs or artwork I could make but like not in a fun way. Like I can't just enjoy other people's art or watch a movie or even go outside without looking for inspiration or drawing references or new color schemes that I feel could fit into my art style because I feel like I constantly have to be thinking about making new content and it's exhausting. And I feel like I can't stop because if I do then I'm wasting my time and I can't afford to waste time because I need new content so I can make money, and I also feel like if I stop looking for new inspiration even for a second I could miss something really cool and lose the opportunity to use that in my art.

I know you weren't fishing, but your music really does mean a lot to me. I wept the first time I heard Milk and Ivory, the lines (pls forgive me I'm paraphrasing and my memory blows) "we can't do the things we want in life, but maybe I can take you out for Thai tonight" really hit different when you and your partner are both incredibly mentally ill and live in poverty. Some of the only times we're happy are when we're together eating good food, just enjoying eachother's company. I know how it feels when the only thing you can give your partner is takeout and a shower...it's brutal. I grew up listening to Death Cab For Cutie, and hearing your song Someone reminded me so much of hearing an old Death Cab song for the first time as a kid. I was smiling for like half an hour. It was a feeling I never thought I'd have again. And, this is getting ramble-y, I haven't even mentioned To Hold Amber! It was the first song of yours I heard, and I clicked on it because I was falling in love with a girl by the same name. I think it'll always have a special place in my heart. Your music makes people feel things! That's so powerful! Idk idk idk. Just wanted to share.

drew this video is so important to me. i always watch in full and i just want you to maybe read this and just have you know that you’re the only person who i know would be able to understand it, and know i’ve been able to understand since i was 14 when i found you. i love your music and the way you and i talk the same way when given the chance to, like right down to audibly getting upset when i trail off too much. today was very hard and this video was enough to make the ball go from my throat for a bit

Despite being “mainstream” I’m so glad I talked to my psych! It’s so helpful to be able to research ADHD tips/tricks, and for me medication has been life changing. Your mind jumping around definitely reminds me of mine! You deserve the help if you want it ❤️
