Why I left YouTube

[@Eli_JK]

Chris, you dont owe us an explanation, you just focus on getting better/healthier.

[@teyahrose5203]

i hope you know we don't think of you as a failure, you have your reasons and thats ok, we appreciate your time here and were glad your doing what makes you happiest. i hope youre doing okay, stay strong. sending much love.

I love the doll collection in the background!

[@ChrisHenrie]

Hahah thank you very much!

[@emmaedelmann3027]

@@ChrisHenrie make more videos of your doll collection I collect dolls and I really enjoy your shorts

[@malcolmmcgrath9675]

I'm so glad you uploaded! I don't have tiktok so I didn't know what you were up to and while I'm all for stepping away from the internet and social media, when you didn't post for so long I got worried for you :-( Glad to know you're alive and as well as you can be right now. You didn't let anyone down because we are not entitled to anything from you, please don't feel guilty. You are a delight to be able to listen to but you don't owe us anything so please try your best not to put that pressure on yourself. Recovery is bound to be harder when the content you feel compelled to post revolves around constantly talking about the trauma and pain you are trying to recover from. Frankly, and most importantly, I think the biggest thing you should know right now - your outfit is amazing and those glasses suit you very well. Take care Chris

[@ChrisHenrie]

Thank you very much, Malcolm. This message made me tear up. Thank you for being here and supporting me.

[@charliest.kardasism9134]

Hey , Chris I was wondering last night where you been . I don't consider you a failure . Whatever you decide to do , I will respect. It was lovely to see you back on here. It takes a lot of bravery of what you said on here . We love you. I can't wait to get my hands, on you're book .

[@bradleyfair1266]

Your beautiful Chris, life is good my friend big heart big smile.

[@hvngr]

I just found your channel a few days ago. I am currently going through a very tough time in my life and your videos help me so much even though my own issues are not eating disorder related. It's just the way you are, the way you talk and the feeling you give me. You make me feel less alone. Thank you so much for that and good luck to you for your future.

[@gestionhumana8743]

Chris we really missed you. I love hearing you talk. I will always wish you great.

[@ChrisHenrie]

I missed you too. So much.

[@gothuncle5176]

I actually downloaded tiktok because I wanted to keep up with you and figured you felt done with youtube. What you think is what really matters but if it makes any difference at all I want you to know that I don’t think you’ve failed. While the longer talks are nice you seem more relaxed on tiktok and I’m enjoying the new content. It’s also pretty impressive of you to be able to switch formats like that. Despite this I understand it must be a hard change. The effort you’ve put into this is inspiring and it’s something to be proud of. See you around wherever that might be ^^

[@mallory0322]

💐🌺🌻Lovely to see you again Chris. Firstly, let me say thank you for bringing attention to this deadly disorder, you are braver than I to put yourself out there in the first place. There is so much ridicule and misunderstanding in general on the internet but especially when you are allowing yourself to be honest and vulnerable. There is NOTHING about leaving that is failing Chris, you instead have helped so many find their voice and find hope that ANY level of recovery is possible. I have not found it to any life changing level but still hold some hope in my heart that there is more to life than just existing. I cannot express how much you're vids have meant. You are seen, heard and valued and are missed. I'm so proud of you for being able to stand up and voice your journey and continuing struggles, and know there are countless who are at most inspired to get help and at the very least find a reassuring voice that they are not alone in their own struggle. I Look forward to your book and wish you peace and blessing as this new chapter begins. You too are not alone.. Thankful for you💕💐🌻🌺🌈💐🌻🌺

[@bellapearce6688]

*I appreciate all of your journey that you have shared. It was very meaningful to me to hear about your time in inpatient, insurance problems, lasting effects, trying to get better on your own, etc. You are not a failure. You've helped me feel less alone throughout my own journey. I started watching you when I felt alone in High School. When I began University it was hard to do anything for myself. In the beginning, I wasn't watching much KZbin or getting on Social Media as often so I fell back into a hole. Your content, knowing that someone else is out there trying their best to manage without medical professionals anymore, inspired me to keep going.I will always be grateful for your content and I hope you can see how much of a positive impact you have made on me and many others that feel misunderstood when it comes to eating disorders.*

[@soulsxbonesxashes]

We love and care about you 🖤 (also can't wait to read your book !)

[@weepingwillows21]

You taught me a lot about the male side of ED's and that in itself is something to be proud of. Hang in there, and don't ever worry about satisfying us; It's your channel. You do you. I just want to say that I hope you're doing well now, and just know that I'm here behind you whatever you choose.

[@JamesQuinones]

❤️❤️❤️ I follow you on other platforms. I never thought or felt you let us down. You need to do what it is best for yourself.

[@solbeamm]

aw I haven't forgotten about you ! I honestly have missed seeing your videos pop up, especially since I don't check tiktok often. but you haven't failed us hon, we're so proud of you and we'll support you no matter how often you upload or lack thereof. what matters above all is you and how you're feeling. glad to see you've been doing alright, have a nice day and take care of yourself

[@ChrisHenrie]

I'm crying :( thank you so very much. your words mean so much to me.

[@casuallycasualty4933]

hey. i came here from instagram. please do not feel pressured into creating content for your subscribers if you don’t want to. you do not owe anyone an apology or anything. all we want is for you to be happy. thank you for creating tiktoks and videos here that we can enjoy, we appreciate them but do not expect them from you! you said your goal was to connect with people through your experiences and i think you did that on youtube and now you continue to do it on tiktok. the format has changed but the main goal remained, which you continue to accomplish. so you are not a failure, that is success!

[@sarahneuhaus5307]

Sending you so much love, friend. You're doing great things, and I cannot wait to see what you come up with. I am so proud of you

[@madisonc2751]

[@emilielouise6701]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for posting this and thank you for staying. I, and so many others love you, and you matter so much to so many people. I am not even kidding when I say that I don't know where I would be, if it wasn't for you. I'm wishing you the very best, and OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BOOOOOK!! Lots of love from Denmark.

[@MEZTLI2023]

I just found your page. 😊. I really like your videos. 🌷

[@ascott2168]

🤗 It was so nice to see your beautiful face and smile again 💞💖 ! You didn’t let us down, you didn’t fail & you don’t have to give us an explanation for anything. If KZbin is causing discomfort, please refrain from involving yourself with it and do what makes you happy. We care about you Chris, like seriously 💝. When you’re feeling down, why not do a Live on IG and talk to us ?!!!? We’re here to help you 🥰 ! You’re not alone in this 💕💕

[@akazeezee]

I love you

[@ameliabarracca630]

Hey Chris, I appreciate your honesty and know that I never consider you a failure or a disappointment. I care about you and your health more that your activity on youtube. And your doll collection makes me jealous!

[@jiri6769]

Hi , I want to say that we love you and congratulations for your graduation 👨‍🎓 🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@shannongee971]

Chris if you feel like you need a break in your recovery then take them. You are amazing and loved by many❤

[@Kirby_loves_mangoes]

So happy to see you on here ❤️

[@kornellesniak7944]

Your videos provided me with a great deal of comfort growing up and I'm really thankful for that. I wish you all the best! By the way, I saw a P.O. box adress in your instagram bio and was wondering if it would still be okay to send you a postcard of something like that there. Take care!

[@ChrisHenrie]

hey! yes, my PO Box is still open :) and I reply to all letters hehe

Hi Chris!

[@ChrisHenrie]

Hi!!!! :)

[@tentenben1085]

I m 15 and I feel pretty confident that I m not alone suffering from being a lot skinny

[@guardian33]

I can’t handle tic toxic you tube is all I check out and it’s a shame just as I was recommended to come see you you decided to go. You need to do what’s best for you. You didn’t fail anything or anyone. That’s the unhelpful voices talking. I saw the dolls but I had more of an interest in the plant. Bonsai, right? Something you can tend and control. I like the forest but I kill plastic plants. One must accept one’s flaws🤪 I hope you come back often.
