Hey John,

Just wanted to say thanks for creating such an awesome community of people that genuinely give a shit about things that matter. That's pretty sweet.

I've heard you talk about depression and anxiety in a few of your videos, I was just wondering what your advice is to people who suffer from depression and the like. I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy three years ago and since then my quality of life has taken a nose dive, I try to keep my chin up, but it's not always easy. What inspires you to drive on and be the best you can be?

EDIT: Also thanks for making Crashcourse, without it I would have failed several American History tests. And tell Hank I find his boyish charm endearing, you both seem highly approachable.

Thank you so much, John. This is something I have a lot of trouble talking about, it's a huge source of pain and embarrassment, and one person I've told decided I wasn't worth the trouble and completely cut me our of their life.

We haven't met, and this is out first time communicating, but you and Hank have sort of been there for me this last year. The nights I don't sleep, which is most nights these days, I watch your videos, you two never fail to make me laugh and smile during times where I'd normally lie awake thinking of dark and depressing things. You guys are amazing and it's inspiring and humbling to know that people like you exist and have other peoples' well beings so high up your priority list.

Thanks for being who you are, and DFTBA.

People downvote each other on AMAs so their questions will migrate upwards. Truly a deplorable tactic.

That was unintentional, but I have another pun to add to my repertoire, so thanks for that.

I saw the orange envelope and thought that John had replied to me, heart crushed. But yes, let's.
