hello I'm Charlie and welcome to authentic mental health the channel that
offers advice and friendly support in our like-minded community today's video
is coming up right after this
hang on a second cut cut cut this out cut cut hello I'm
Charlie and welcome to the rewired soul for those of you that know my name is
Charlie and from authentic mental health and that was the intro for my channel
and as you know we're not on my channel anymore we're on the rewired soul
Krissi's away for a week or so and he's asked me to fill in on his channel for
him so you're gonna see me in a couple of videos on this channel
the first thing Chris and myself wanted to talk about on my first video on his
channel was why I crated authentic mental health for those of you that have
never met or seen me before I went to youtube channel called authentic mental
health and I created it in December 2016 since then I have over 9.5 million views
and I'm almost at ninety thousand subscribers which is insane for me to
even say or think about that many people subscribe to my channel and that many
people have listened to what I have had to say it's mind-blowing it really is
when you think about the numbers so why exactly did I cry authentic mental house
I'm currently 24 and at the age of 14 I was diagnosed with anxiety and
depression and in 2016 I was 22 and I had a really difficult year I didn't
really want to leave my house I didn't socialize I bottled up how I felt so I
thought how can I feel better about myself how can I let all my emotion
out so I decided to video myself each day and just explain to the camera how
I'm feeling so in the future I can look back at my videos and say well on Monday
I wasn't doing so great Tuesday I got a bit better Wednesday I went out that's
fantastic well done charlie so I could see what I was doing how I improved my
life now those videos weren't for YouTube YouTube comes in later on in
that year eventually I got comfortable in front of the camera and I started to
feel a lot better in myself from looking back on my bad days more good days it
made me a more positive person instead of thinking negatively
I thought positively because I could see a change in myself so in December 2016 I
thought maybe there's other people out there who were feeling like myself or
they were feeling like myself how I felt earlier on in the year
so I created a YouTube channel and I thought what what could I call it so I
came up with a name authentic mental house authentic means
real so real mental health so on my channel I talk about my experiences with
anxiety depression I make videos that I think other people who are suffering
want to see and want to hear about the channel is designed to be as positive as
possible because as you know in the world that we live in currently
everything is negative you turn on the news negativity you watch TV shows
negativity you go on social media negativity everything nowadays is
negative so I try and be as positive and as helpful as possible
the aim of authentic mental health is to help as many people as possible to help
people be more positive in their life rather than
and that's the same with Chris's channel the rewired soul everything is about
positivity we want to remove as much negativity in the world as we possibly
can that's why I think mental health YouTube channels are so important
because people suffer in silence like I did for many many years I suffered in
silence and a bottled everything up inside me then when I started making
videos I was releasing how I felt onto the camera I was pouring my heart and my
soul and my emotions out onto video and that made me feel ten times better and
when people comment or email me or message me on Instagram Twitter Facebook
explaining how they feel or telling me Charlie thank you so much for creating
an authentic mental how if you've done this for me you've done that for me
you've helped me with this that blah blah blah it makes me feel amazing and
makes me less depressed because I know I've had a positive impact on the world
and I know it's the same with Chris he loves it when people comment nice things
when people comment how you have helped them through their bad situations in
life and it makes myself and Chris less depressed because we're doing something
positive to impact people's lives rather than creating negative content and
making people negative we're pushing people up and making a positive impact
on people's lives so that is why I created authentic mental health if any
