I have been having similar issues for some time now, hence why I haven't uploaded to my channel lately. I really appreciate the fact that you are willing to put yourself out there and put into words what people like us feel. You are stronger than you realise. Thank you Schaaf.

THANK YOU for talking about what's on your mind man, it's extremely rare in YT and social media in general. And that's disappointing.
I hope you find ways to feel good, just as your videos make us, the viewers, feel awesome!
And please do talk more, especially if it makes YOU feel better!
Brap and angry engine noises are nice, but knowing that the dude that makes the braps is happy, is better.

Great video Schaaf, very brave of you to put this out there and I'm sure it will be helpful to others. Another great book I've found to help sort out what really matters in life is "Happy" by Derren Brown - a brilliant read that is partly responsible for me turning my life around from just getting by day to day 10 years ago to nearer a contented life (I'm not 100% there yet but I feel I'm on the right track). I suspect a lot of the ideas are similar to "The Subtle art of not giving a F**k" but you may just glean some extra nuggets or two if your reading pile is depleted. All the best mate, and hope the New Year treats you

Thanks for sharing your story dude. I've been suffering with mental health for years and losing my wife of 25 years to cancer 2 years ago nearly finished me. You've reminded the rest of us suffering out there that we're not alone. Take care of yourself 🤘

[Bad.ventures]

Really respect the honesty and vulnerability, Schaaf! Always loved your videos, and I'll understand and appreciate it on a new level now. I think people are becoming more conscious and starting to crave these types of contents more and not just the good stuff.

Also, do you mind sharing the book you had mentioned?

[hasanmuratsarikaya]

Hey Schaaf, you should know that your existence and what you serve on this media is an important reason of smiles on our faces and relieves us from our own kind of big struggles. Thank you for your pure honesty which made me feel more comfortable and normal in the situation I am. And thank you for all your efforts. I wish mental and physical health for all of us to be able to enjoy good bikes, good rides. 👍

Great message Schaaf. I appreciate 100% of your content. I have a friend who's had a rough year and I appreciate it's sometimes hard for her to admit when she's down, but it helps. Take care now.

You can find the bike-list in the description!

Wow bro this video is insane.. you're so lucky!! I mean the second part of the video, btw. You're lucky because you are smart enough to identify, see and seek help for your unhappiness. Lot's of people don't. I know first hand how hard it is to find an amazing therapist so I hope you find a good one. 2022 is going to be a great year. I promise!! 🤜🤛

[thesmoker]

I would have never thought you would have problems like this.
But i’m happy you shared it with us.
With this knowledge i can better understand and interpretate your videos.
Thank you and have yourself a wonderful 2022

[luukvandijk]

It's brave of you to share this. Thanks for doing so. I hope it will help you and others to talk about their mental help more easily in the future

[wice]

This took courage and strength. I wish you the very best and hope smoothen out on your mental health journey too. The journey does feel lonely at times, but you've made it less lonely with this video.

[axelotl]

As someone who is married to someone with your struggles, I can just say that showing your struggle / fight / coping helps me to constantly be reminded that this is nothing someone should keep as a secret.
Dir alles gute!

[sitdownsteve]

Thank you Schaaf for sharing this with all of us. The acceptance of the whole topic is getting better in my opinion. Stay strong, mental health issues really put you down on some days - i know what im talking about. All the best!

[YangCalgary]

Thanks for sharing. I think people will appreciate it. Please keep making videos, and add the personal touch. I'm a fan of your channel. I wish you success for 2022!

[mariohabinger]

Hey man, you are so damn right with every single line.
Don´t hesitate to show what concerns you.
As being such a likeable guy, your fans will be with you either way.
All the best and may your share of happiness will find you!

New subscriber, watching your older content. Just watched this and wanted to say you are not alone in how you feel or don’t feel (anhedonia).

Was für ein Video, ich bin ein wenig sprachlos 😲 Respekt dafür, wie offen und ehrlich du darüber sprichst und Bewusstsein für das Thema schaffst 👍🏻

[COYGunners]

Such a personal story. Thanks for this mate. The level of honesty is just unmatched. Makes me wonder how many content creators struggle with the fact of showing a perfect life while battling unknown difficulties in their life behind the camera. You are not just lucky but loved and appreciated by this community.

[alexleier]
