This is very Moving for me and I hope this serves as a means to help others with the same problems and the world can make strides towards improvement

[@need4speed5353]

I'm completely screwed up in the head. I have adhd, bipolar, psychosis, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It takes balls to come out like Cody did so big respect to him for doing that. Sadly, I didn't have the balls to do it myself for a while and I have the scars to prove it

[@jamieseach8911]

We need to admit to our issues to help others be as strong as us! I’ve been in therapy for 20 years with PTSD and Bipolar! I have the best psychiatrist and psychologist in the world! It took a while to find them but they are there for me! I was embarrassed to admit any of my issues because it was so taboo! Thank goodness people are starting to realize it’s ok to speak up because it helps us all to talk about it!

[@jojostwin2492]

You can get through these issues, these disabilities do not define you. Also remember, there are people willing to help you.

[@diehardcountry]

This video sheds some light on what just happened to him . Nascar has suspended him indefinitely for assault on a woman. So terrible he couldn't get the help he needed. He is suffering terribly. Hope the best for him and the female victim

[@jazzgragson]

I love you

[@jaybee608]

Being aware is the key to coping and securing a place for good mental health. We all have something. Most aren't aware. Thank you for your story.

Fake nascar bro wtf

[@nascargavin8]

I really enjoy getting to know drivers and hearing their stories/struggles. This video really puts into perspective that someone could be dealing with more than you could imagine, but wouldn't even know by just seeing them at the track. Thank you for this.

[@eddiejackson4368]

I myself suffer from anxiety depression and post-traumatic stress disorder somebody step up from Nascar saying hey look I have mental illnesses it touch me Cody you do what you do and keep the faith brother

[@jonah8990]

Watching this after the news on Cody and Austin Ogonoski’s video on the whole scenario with Rick’s son, crazy how things have turned out since this vid

[@cba_2442]

As someone who spent a lot of the last few years suicidal and depressed, it's good these things are brought up. I remember last year telling my family what I most wanted for my birthday was to just die.

[@thestig2917]

@David Galea wow you really have no idea do you?

[@thestig2917]

@David Galea I don't think that what you are mentioning can be described as depression. It's an illness, not just wanting everything to be perfect. It is losing all will to do anything, maybe even to live

[@clinkoakley221]

big hugs!!!!

I did, Thing like this are how I like drivers I focus on who they are not if they wreck a lot. Look at matty D, Dude can't catch a break but is nice and humble.

Now we do.

Lol

[@UltraCitron]

Way to advocate a great cause. As someone that also struggles with anxiety, depression and ADHD it's very hard to want to open up. It takes a very courageous soul to step up and speak out on matters like this. Thank you, Cody. You've got my full support ALL the way ❤🤘🏻

[@jennifergoodwin33]

Im so proud of you Cody for being publicly open about something so personal & painful in your life. There is no doubt you have helped so many people dealing with mental health issues and will continue too help going forward.

I've been battling anxiety and depression and ASD all my life, so can relate to a lot of this, it's a long journey which starts with just knowing the demons are getting at you, wish you all the best Cody

[@normanhumphrey9695]

Thank you for telling your story and reaching out to others. Those in your age group can benefit from your experience and story and move toward wellness and joy. It is so wonderful to know you can heal from ptsd and depression as well as many other mental health issues allowing one to live a good life. At about 45 years old I began to start to heal after much therapy and I am so grateful. At 63 years old with terminal cancer I can live a life filled with joy and contentment and I pass that message on to all that will listen and I am so happy that you are doing the same to younger folks. Be well and enjoy your life.

[@jayjackson597]

thanks CW for making this video, my journey was no where near yours, I'm 66 and I still struggle with it at times, may God Bless you going forward you are my new favorite driver. this vid will help others be inspired to deal with their issues

I wonder if NASCAR is going to keep this up now with Cody being arrested.

[@jerseyguy8257]

Highly unlikely

[@justlucky8254]

Just watched a video about Cody being arrested for domestic violence yesterday and how unhinged he's been while dealing with his teammates and then came across this in the suggested videos

[@tgs2141]

Cody has been getting better in Xfinty, I think he’ll be a surprise winner someday, I hope it happens

[@stay.frosty.11]

I’m gonna start watching xfinity just for this

I'm in the midst of dealing with mental health issues surrounding my home, and the environment I live in. This video was recommended to me. I've heard of Cody Ware from before, and learning this about him now is inspiring. Cody, if you're seeing this comment, I want to thank you for speaking up about your issues and being a mental health advocate.

[@MrDylanBrewster]

I went to middle and high school with Cody and I had no idea what happened to him, he and I didn't really share social circles but had I know I would've reached out to him, I'm glad to see he's doing well, and I haven't missed a race that he's been in for the last few months, keep on trucking cody

Kids setting another kid on fire is beyond bullying. That is not bullying. It’s criminal and sick. Parents need to step the hell up and be parents and guide your damn kids and teach them to be a good person by example. Teach them right and wrong. Instead of throwing a cell phone or a controller in their hands and letting that teach them.

The south is backwards they probably did tell the police and nothing happened.

he is a good dude. he been thru a lot of stuff and he is doing well. i truly dont belive he hurt that girl but is what is. if he did shame on him and dont let it happen again because you wont get a second chance. either way move on keep the good vibes and stay focused brother wish you nothing but the best... And dont let people say you suck at driving a car because thats not true at all. maybe your not the best but you are still very talented bud because 95% of these keyboard warriors never drove a race car lol. Im a former whelen all american series short track racer from Connecticut and grew up karting winning multiple championships and 75 victorys then started asphalt whelen type modifieds and only had 3 top 10 in my career in the mods and im talented but i had lot of bad luck lost sponsor and then eventually my father sold all 3 cars and we were done. what im trying to get at is Cody Ware you are a talented human because you have raced many different things and done decent with all so brother be proud of yourself and f### the haters...
