    I've been waiting for you to make videos addressing depression. Only someone that has actually experienced these feelings could possibly understand. I started on your videos because of stopping smoking but because you are so real and honest, I realized how much I need help with my recurring depression. I didn't think anybody else had problems just brushing their teeth - that it was overwhelming just to do that. You are the real deal and I am so grateful you are here at this time. By the way, still not smoking:)

    I REALLY appreciate this video. I have never had the nerve to be this honest about my depression when it strikes. God bless you for making this video. You express what depression is like. Thank you.
  • Oh Chris, to have you there is a priceless gift. Thank you. Depression is so awful, and sometimes I just have to hide, as talking to people makes it worse, so I prefer to wait (sometimes seemingly endlessly), for it to pass. That you understand it, and can talk about it so eloquently and accurately, and offer such empathy is sooooo comforting, and feels like a lifeline

    Your honesty is priceless. Thank you Chris. What I never really thought about before was the big positive change that comes afterwards. (Or before). But when I looked back, it was completely true!!!! I related to most everything you said. I will be so much more prepared for the next time. Thanks to you.
