Mental Health in Lockdown

[@revengernator]

thanks Luke, I’m doing a poo and you told me to slow down what I’m doing so now I have constipation. I do have an incredibly positive mental attitude about it so I guess that’s good

[@kyleroczniak]

this is amazing

[@KellyIsShort]

This is truly beautiful Luke, I’m actually tearing up. My anxiety has picked up since lockdown and I’ve become depressed since I can’t see my boyfriend... we’ve been together for years but not seeing him is difficult, my parents are key workers, I can’t go to university and see my friends everyday. Doing this sorta thing and having routine keeps me calm but when it’s all gone bc of this I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. And I feel like I can’t get a break with so many university deadlines, it’s all a bit overwhelming. So thank you Luke, we need a part 2.

[@KellyIsShort]

Emanuel Burgh first off, this whole experience is impacting everyone in different ways. There’s no need to be mean or insightful. I don’t go out for drinks or that kind of thing so sadly what you said doesn’t apply there. I feel sorry for you.

[@enyadoyle783]

Same but im loosing the motivation to make, do and keep up a routine 💖

[@allufeedmeispuffins]

This was much needed. Thank you, I think just listening to someone telling us that it is okay and listening to the sounds of birds was lovely. Thank you Luke, you never disappoint. I hope you are safe

[@Lulywulsin]

Thank you you have a talent for helping people

[@iyesharuby22]

I'd just received some information that shook me and then got a notification for this vid and it allowed me to just sit with my feelings rather than be overwhelmed, thank you! Any more of these you feel like doing would be lovely

[@Andy-br5mt]

this made me cry, which I really needed. I was holding on to so many emotions and pretending everything was ok but man, it's just not healthy. thanks for these words Luke. Thanks for everything :')

[@SunnyPereira1]

Thank you! For someone with anxiety and intrusive thoughts, his helped.

[@Lozod]

you posted this at the exact time I needed it the most.

[@peterpanomania]

This was incredibly soothing. And I think I'll come back and revisit this video whenever things start getting a bit much. Thank you.

[@LA12901]

Got some terrible, depressing news today, but this video has made me feel better. I was just going to sit and feel sad in my room but I'm going to go for a walk. I need to sort my brain out and this video helped so much. Thank you Luke.

[@emmypems967]

Something I would recommend to anyone going through a hard time is the book ‘the boy the mole the Fox and the horse’ it is absolutely wonderful - like a hug in a book. 🤍

[@justadream6650]

thank you Luke, I needed this today. your positive energy is really contagious :) lockdown really triggered my depression the first weeks, it reminded me of when i used to purposely isolate myself. also i feel a lot of anxiety from all the uncertainty. weirdly enough, for someone who has a lot of mental health issues because of pressure and the need for productivity, i feel a lot better now that the new uni semester has started. it gives me a daily routine without overwhelming me. also going on a walk every day is really helpful, along with some podcasts and self reflection. ive learned a lot about myself in this lockdown. and most credit for my relatively stable mental health goes to facetiming my best friend everyday for hours, its just nice to always have someone to talk to. id love to watch more videos like this! would especially love something not centered around tho whole lockdown topic, to get my thoughts away from it :)

[@ambibambi944]

I used to watch you every day.. I have videos saved from 6 years ago.. ive stuggled with mental health my whole life.. I came across your account and burst into tears.. as ive come across this video I'm at my lowest.. thank you for all you've done in my life.. you were there through my childhood and that was the toughest time for me. thank you for this video and all the others

[@sakuramewx]

Part 2 please !! I've been sleeping a LOT (happens during my episodes) when my partner is at work and they don't know, I've been feeling guilty but my mind just is finding it so difficult to comprehend what's happening. Thank you for saying that it is actually okay and staying inside for once is productive, I needed that reassurance :)

[@ljadeblom4151]

This was one of those weird moments when someone said out loud things that you didn’t even know were true until they said them.

[@lunacastro2106]

This is absolutely beautiful, I'm watching this in UK lockdown 2.0 and started crying at about a minute in. It was the good type of tears, however, the kind that brings a release of things I've been bottling up. I used to watch Luke's channel about 3-4 years ago, I'm so happy I stumbled across this video and his channel again! Thank you for making this Luke I feel like there are many people who could use this right now.

[@nataliafoster1079]

I still keep coming back to this and every time it helps, thank you Luke

[@Jess.Marie_]

I have put this in a playlist to make sure I listen to it when I need to, this video is really helps and I really hope that more people that need to hear it do! Thank you Luke!

[@Bubbl3ums]

This was so lovely to see. Honestly, I don't feel horrible or sad about quarantine, I just feel numb and scared about the future. Being let alone with my thoughts so much makes it that I worry so much more about my future career path and happiness, that it overwhelms me, even more than usual. Add that feeling to the mountains of schoolwork that I have, and I just lose the feeling of being alive. Of doing stupid stuff and just doing whatever I want, like I used to do; watching the twilight movies for the 7th time or borrowing a skateboard and learn to skate. Even though I don't have time to do this, I still yearn for it, even more so because of quarantine. This video helped me realize that every second of my life is me being alive and even though the days seem to last both seconds and centuries, I am still here and I will be okay. I have worked hard before and I will come out okay, no matter the fear rooted in my nerves or the path that I choose. So thank you, Luke, for making me realize how much every single second of being alive is worth, no matter how I spend it, and for being here, on KZbin, through it all. Thanks.

[@Jenn-zw1zd]

I really needed this today. Thank you Luke ❤ Keep safe!

[@meganwilliams5474]

this will make lockdown feel a little less lonely, whenever I’m struggling I’ll definitely be watching this to make my brain remember I’m not the only one feeling like this, thank you! Part 2 is definitely needed♥️

[@meganwilliams5474]

Luke, this is truly amazing !! I hope you know how much you’re helping so many people.. you talking about how we used to distract ourselves before lockdown and now everything is coming to surface really hit home, it’s hard not having distractions and the help from therapists etc so thank you for posting this, it was very nice to hear someone else talk about how I’m feeling so I don’t feel crazy❤️ thank you Luke

[@Jess.Marie_]

Hey Luke! Really glad you posted this, it has made me feel a lot better and I am sure it will help others too!🧡

[@TamaraStidwell]

Thank you so much, you have really helped me during a very stressful time. Like you said, this is part of processing our pain, I've definitely run away from my anxiety for too long. The world is changing and maybe for the better. You speak like a yogi, really transcendental and grounding. Thank you!

[@AmberIsACat]

Luke, I've supported you since the beginning. I haven't been active on your channel lately but I'm so happy to see you again that I actually she'd some tears. I missed you, your content, your voice. I'm so happy you didn't fade away from KZbin

[@JamesMorfa]

Thanks Luke. This is a great video that really helps. This lockdown is bad for everyone's mental health, but for those of us suffering with depression, anxiety and all kinds of other mental health problems it's a nightmare. When this is over we really do all need to slow down, take things chill. We can come out of this stronger. A part 2 would be great. For me, personally, this is just ALL hell. Even before this started my MH was bad. I won't go into details, but with the situation I'm in right now it feels as if I'm being tortured and staying level headed is hard. A walk every afternoon helps, and I'm clinging to the thought that it'll be over, eventually. When it is over I'm going to take a lot of time for myself, because I'm going to need it. It's going to take a long time to get better.

[@jojo_jm]

I didn't know how much I needed this until I watched it. Thank you for doing this 💖 I know I would have felt awkward as Hell trying to record something this open and vulnerable, but it is something that is so needed, so thank you for making this. Especially with the beautiful nature shots with birdsong. It felt nurturing and comforting in ways I did not know I needed, but here I am in tears after taking some time to be still and sit in my feelings for a bit. 🌿🌷☀️❤️

[@jamieclay447]

That was... something that I really needed to hear today. I, like many people, am struggling with lockdown and have a crippling case of depression and anxiety that has been with me for years. And being outside of my regular routine of school has led to the further disintegration of my mental health. Hearing you talk about it in such a calm and understanding way, make me believe that I'm not alone. That it is OKAY to feel the way I feel. And I want to get help, I am getting help, as much as I can in these circumstances. But you're video is truly inspiring. Thank you, so much. And YES, we need a part two!!

[@LiizerdBabe]

I use to follow you in 2014, I wanted to see what you were up to- and this is so peaceful. Thank you so much. And I’m glad you’re doing well

[@timo9758]

This video and this wonderful community shows the most beautiful side of KZbin. We're one big loving family, regardless of our gender, age or nationality. This video helped me to calm down and I know it will do it to many other too. I'm definitely saving this to my memories and re watching it when needed. Thank you for creating these wholesome videos, thank you for being here 💜

[@stigolumpy]

Luke, you may not be a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but you have intelligence and experience which qualifies you in my eyes. This is a fantastic video and I really feel that you ought to know that. You've helped me (and those other people who've commented) a lot. I want you to realise quite what you've done and how much impact you've had. Seriously.

[@zoem-6598]

thank you so much, this made me cry 🥺. I’ve started writing down positive things that happen each day and reflect on the good things 😊

[@nexmasher]

You’re such a kind guy! I’m sad that there’s people on this earth that kills others, it’s so stupid while you are here spreading positive vibes! I hope you become the richest person alive.

[@michaelphillipdaly]

I was just popping in to see what you were up to. Didn't expect to stumble across such a lovely video. Thank you, sir.

[@Doolie572]

Brilliant video and its just what myself and a lot of people needed but can we take a moment to appreciate this cinematography?!

[@marxistlynchist]

Surprisingly the lockdown has presented me with deep periods of introspection, and my mental health has become the best it has been for at least a year. I have spent hours on hours expressing my mindstate and the roots of my anxiety through writing and have gained more clarity and self-certainty than ever. Love this video and your channel!

[@fewen_]

I haven't watched your videos in years, happy to see you still make them, Luke!

[@freyathegeekgirl]

Thank you for this, I’ve been very anxious and getting a bit hopeless and not motivated. I’m rlly insecure about my body and gaining weight mixed with comments from family is not helping and I’m just trying every day to be kind to myself and to set small goals to keep myself going ♥️ to anyone reading this, you’re amazing, take a deep breathe, you got this!

[@karywalker9617]

This was just what I needed... Thank you.

[@laurarakauskaite3660]

Luke, the way you speak and just the energy you give out...I feel as though I've known you as a friend, I know thats not true but I just love the energy you give out and you always manage to put a smile on my face :) keep being you, you wonderful human bean

[@zoecarpenter4402]

I have severe health anxiety so am struggling pretty much 24/7 at the moment.. This made me tear up, thank you Luke ♥️

[@kamielmach]

Thank you for making this. I agree with everything you said. It was nice to watch a video that takes mental health very seriously. Inner work is so important and society overlooks it. So many focus on how things seem on paper and place judgment if you don't have a,b, or c done by a certain age. Which is so ridiculous. Everyone has a different journey and at the end of the day we are all trying our best to simply be.

[@jordanwright018]

Please make a part 2 Luke, this helped me out so much and I can strongly believe it helped many others too ❤️❤️

[@jennyjelly8004]

Luke! This is wonderful. Thank you.

[@casamity6755]

i needed this sm luke... thank you. i was literally crying when i saw you’d uploaded this. i fucking hate being stuck in here, in my own head. i feel a little better

[@jordanminer4070]

Luke I appreciate you so much

[@lucybanks9904]

I watchthis video when ever I need it and it is was really helpful. I had to stop seeing my cancouller (if I spelt that correctly) Becuase of covid and it is nice to have a place where i can step away from everything again, without it being dangerous or addictive.

[@laurairwin5879]

Thank you Luke 😍 I really needed this, your voice and words are so comforting and reassuring. A part 2 would be awesome!

[@nataliafoster1079]

I needed this video more than anything. Thank you Luke. You have such a way of understanding how I'm feeling without even knowing me. I hope you're looking after yourself as well ❤️

[@wingedfruit6430]

Apart from the really amazing message this video was also so beautifully filmed. Really really amazing just all the different angles, the colours, the animals and plants... I went on a walk yesterday and just stared into the high grass while sitting on the floor and it was such an amazing experience to see all the little animals and the different plants :)

[@freyay3294]

so many people will be affected in such a positive and beautiful way by this video❤️what relaxing, necessary and wonderfully socially aware content. I love this xx

[@Willows_Way]

Wow, much needed. Part 2 please!!!!

[@xRiriRebel]

This was very soothing and encouraging to hear! Thank you for taking the time to do this :)

[@berry-123]

Luke, thank you so much. This video came just in time. I am struggling with my depression and am getting more and more depressed. Thank you

[@JuneLovesCrows]

I can never thank whomever is running this shitstorm of a life enough, whether it's God, the universe, whatever, that they led me to your livestream all those years ago, because holy shit you've played such a role in my growth as a human and in accepting myself, and I could never thank you enough. I can only throw a thank you out there to you, and to God (who I still partly believe exists, confusion going on about that right now) and hope that you will keep being your kind and lovely self, and that we can be just as big a help to you, as you've been to us. Basically thank you for existing and staying kind, no matter what. I don't know where I'd be without you.

[@jessieblackery4547]

Thank you so much for this, I really needed it. I’d love a part two

[@DanniiG12i]

"face it head on, smash through it" Toph is that you?

[@stacker63]

this was beautiful and so so helpful! i'm so grateful for this! thank you luke 💜

[@evemirmelli]

You motivated me to go out on a walk and chill with some trees, it really helped, thanks a lot :)

[@kalelsmith]

Thank you Luke. Thank you!

[@thepoetspace]

I love this. Thanks Luke, hope you can take your own advice too. We all deserve a little peace of mind♡

[@antisocial-gamer7293]

Thank you for this, its what I needed at this harsh and unpredictable time. I shall listen to this whenever I fell down like I have done just now and realise that life is really worth living. ❤️🌱

[@sethb-h4127]

You're a good soul, Luke

[@lyricistrito]

the feeling of being alive... feeling like you woke up from a trance, even if it's just for a few seconds/minutes x

[@KimIsNotAUnicorn]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm holding back so many tears right now, but I might just finally be able to let them out

[@Erin_Caitrin]

Thank you for this, it was something I didn't realise I needed 💛

[@connorcasola1446]

This is brilliant Luke your amazing thank you!

[@kirstenm6235]

Thank you truly for dedicating your time to helping others, I always have and will admire you, stay safe and well. :)

[@anniebodyhome1999]

[@directionerkc]

really great video Luke - super insightful!

[@thegreatwhitecloud]

Wow the ad before this used the same background music and it was seamless

[@doomdaysss]

Thank you Luke💕

[@evanrae]

i was doing really well in my recovery before quarantine and when everything started i told myself i could keep it up but i simply couldn’t. i have not been doing great but it is nice to think i am doing what i can with what i have at the moment

[@nicolerowles5522]

Thankyou luke, you're amazing ❤️

[@SidneyGumbo]

This video was, again, so well made and I really enjoyed just being in that moment. Thanks, Luke. I would thoroughly enjoy a part 2 (3 if you count the first video in the woods)

[@phoenixwalker1669]

Your so cute x

[@YasKollar]

wow what an absolute beautiful video

[@beckywaytoomuch]

I am so happy I found this channel and you :)

[@Ella-iy4ep]

Thank you for this video I haven’t been this relaxed in weeks the sounds, your voice the scenery it just felt like a big release and now im tired and ready to sleep this is so helpful thank you Ps I cried a little because this video helped so much it released so many emotions (was a good cry not a bas one I feel good now)

[@bieberfever4911]

Omg I use to watch you on lukesnotsexy omg I so glad ur still making videos. Hope you stay health and happy

[@spaceman3518]

You are such a great guy! Thanks for that video

[@jbishop5287]

@Luke Hello mate, long time no speak. Its great to see you're still making films/videos and impacting the world around you for the better. Your subs and views are a testament to your ability so keep your head up. I was wondering if we could have a chat and maybe throw some ideas around. If not, I understand times are difficult and hit me up when you can. Keep doing what you're doing and I look forward to hearing from you! Josh Bishop (Hawkins ;) )

[@fennwoodhouse]

wow. this is so special. thank you💕

[@rio-ty9vr]

Thank you so so much! I really needed to hear this!

[@emmasockett8418]

thank you for this video 🖤

[@mookywilson1054]

Hey just new to your channel. I Love it!!!! Thank you for sharing. Your channel is a breath of fresh air in a smog infested environment. I was quite curious on how your TMS has worked for you in the long run? Thanks and keep up the great work! Looking forward to your next vids!!

[@LauraDora124]

This is lovely ❤️ I just can’t relate to the “trying to not filter out noises etc that your brain usually does” thing. My sensory processing sucks, I hear it all, all at once, always. To be able to actually filter it out is what would be bliss..... bird songs aren’t relaxing when it’s mixed in with 10 other surrounding noises that become overbearing; then there’s moments where someone tries to talk to you on top of that 😭 - Using noise cancelling headphones instead, is the way to go if you struggle with that 👌👌👌

[@orionblue98]

Thankyou Luke.

[@amaterasu4792]

I’m so glad I clicked on this video.
