Dan yelling therapussy and the therapist hearing it just added 5 more years of therapy for you.

[JeM]

Phil out here being endlessly supportive of Dan in his mental health journey and then Dan responds with therapussy

[gilly_axolotl]

Honestly love the responsible therapist that shut things down in a friendly way once she realized she knew of phil

[KiAhNaLyNn]

dan's ability to cause as much chaos as possible in 30 seconds is honestly inspiring

the absolute glow-up from "ahahaha social anxiety so relatable amiright" to "wait this isn't normal, therapy time" is great. i'm genuinely happy for you. been in therapy for 2 years now and it's been so helpful for me, and glad it's helping you as well

Phil casually coming back after 2 months is like a holiday event, glad to see you are safe & sound

[maggielaw]

"I'm scared of humans"
"Just bring back Dil!" That was too good. Props to Phil for being able to speak on serious things without losing his light-hearted tone! Gotta love it😂😂😂

I had been seeing a therapist for a month or so and she knew I was anxious to talk to people at the front desk so she was like “I’m not going to put you on the schedule for next week, you need to make the appointment yourself! You can do it :)” anyways that was three years ago and I have not seen her since

[zombieunlive]

Imagine being a therapist and Phil Lester walks in and you have to shut it down like "Oh sorry bro I've seen pictures of you as a baby I can't coax you back to health"

[terezar]

Phil going a therapist who was actually a fan is the most Phil thing ever

[dblyw]

I’ve been hoping you’d share your therapy experience. You and Dan sharing your mental health experiences is so important 🖤 Edit: therapussy is making me rethink this comment 💀

[Jeevesie]

Not that I'd expect anything less from a qualified professional but it's genuinely super encouraging to hear that the therapist who knew you was like "Okay this is a conflict of interests, so thanks but no." Good on them, and glad you found a therapist who works for you now, Phil! <3

[skcch]

I'm proud of you Phil! Going to therapy is never an indication of weakness, trying to improve is the strongest thing a person could do

[marinalafrossia]

As a born & raised Floridian, dying of the brain eating amoeba has been an unnecessary anxiety on my mind since I was like 10

[unholy_tenshi]

Hey, I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share with us, Phil!

[loglog]

The “Therapussy” story had me laughing so hard. Seriously though, glad to hear that therapy has been helpful to you and you’re in a better place now, Phil!

[minlife]

health anxiety is actually crippling and awful. it feels so real and everyone around you thinks you’re just being ridiculous. so it’s v nice to see you speak out about this, glad you’re talking to someone about it !!

[jessicarose]

Men are so unrepresented in accessing mental health support - it’s so powerful to be honest and Id love to think this would give the power for more men to come forward for help. Hope you are okay though Phil x

I really relate to the whole "actually, I'm fine" mentality, especially in comparison to other people around. When I was in high school, many of my friends were heavily depressed with suicudal ideation, self harm etc.. In contrast to that, I just felt like I couldn't have anything to complain about (although in hindsight I was very affected by always worrying about them). Years later, it turns out it's actually not normal to feel joy only like twice a year🙃 even of you're an overall optimistic person and don't want to die. Really glad that you're feeling better (and so am I)

[crabtoes]

Both you and Dan helped me get through the worst time of my life when I wasn’t sure if I could keep living. Six years later and ready to take in the rest of my life, a video like this just makes me really happy
