  • They probably weren't expecting anyone with anxiety to actually call the number lmfao

    Wow, Drew! You got smarter and smarter over the course of the video. At the start of it, you bought these dumb products and at the end you stopped buying these dumb products. These things must work!

    "A vibrating pebble and an inhaler with different flavours" so, basically, a bullet vibrator and a vape pen?
  • I like how you can tell how genuinely pissed Drew was about some of the products here, in comparison to his other videos. Like sure, a product that turns all liquids into slushes in pretty dumb and useless. But the worst that can do is lose someone $25, not that big of a deal at the end of the day. On the other hand, a product so ridiculously expensive that's supposed to help with mental health but actively makes mental health worse, that's on a whole other level of scummy.

    “sometimes my brain forgets that we’re supposed to be on the same team” what a great way of describing anxiety I appreciate this. what a mood.

    I have an egg that sits on my chest and vibrates. I’ve had it for ten years and it’s my cat, Snowflake. Works great.

    i think it’s so funny how drew goes from glass animals lost band mate to some kid you knew in middle school just from a haircut.
  • You should’ve just strapped an electric toothbrush to various areas on your body. Not only would that device generate soothing vibrations, but it also has a clinically proven ability to help fight plaque and gingivitis.

    the way to tell how much time has passed has never been easier than watching drews blue hair slowly turn more and more into a seasick green while his roots grow in

    my mom bought me a calmigo before a long road trip since i was unmedicated, and for the longest time i thought that it costed 20-50 dollars from how small it was. knowing now that it must've costed her 200+ to even attempt to help me cope with my anxiety is so, so heartbreaking. these companies prey on those who are desperate for hope, and i hope the worst comes for these companies and the people involved in them.

    I went to ER for having a panic attack this weekend. I thought I was having a heart attack or something. I feel so dumb when they said my heart was fine. That was validating to hear.
  • The transformation of Drew’s content over the years from ranting about terrible influencers to terrible products is amazing and seamless.
  • @Pandidolod
    The saddest part of these products is knowing that a bunch of struggling people probably spent entire paychecks on them in a desperate attempt to survive mental illness. That's depressing.

    I’m very late to this- but incase somebody actually DID want a list of mental health products that help - I gotcha; (also I’m obviously not sponsored, just somebody who knows how difficult it can be to find help without the ability to access therapy) it’s kinda interesting how a lot of the items that I’ve found helpful don’t have the same ‘pretty app’ and sleek design that these so called mental health focused products do. But most of all know that however you’re feeling now, it will pass ❤ here’s my list of ACTUALLY helpful products to try out! - electric toothbrush, for those days you have no energy to brush your teeth. You can keep it beside your bed with a cup of water for the days you cannot get out of bed. - dry shampoo, whatever scent you like ^^ same principle as above. As weird as it sounds, baby shampoo is great if you go along time without washing your hair bc showers feel like a huge task. Baby shampoo is clarifying and it’s usually not scented and expensive - and it’s real cheap too! - a tens machine or massager. Sometimes emotions can get embedded in your muscles and cause tension. Sometimes, being able to have a massage can force your body out of anxiety mode and help you feel better. - non minty toothpaste for my sensory troubled friends. Sometimes mint can be overpowering and make even the most basic of self care feel like a gargantuan task. I got myself a strawberry flavoured one 🍓 - a weighted blanket, esp for those with insomnia. They can be a bit pricey and washing them is a pain in the ass, but you can find some smaller cheap ones that can help you get out of anxiety mode and relax. - a journal or diary, paper or just the notes app on your phone. It’s good to get thoughts out of your head and on paper sometimes, it helps to process things like that. - a gigantic jug of water, or a crate of bottled water. Just have it beside your bed. Sometimes it feels like hell to just move your arm over, so make it easy on yourself Take care of yourselves out there!
  • Say what you will Drew, but these things genuinely made me feel smarter. I bought one for hundreds of dollars, wore it daily, and then finally had the brainpower and motivation to realize I'd been scammed.
  • @08mlascelles
    Watching you comedically eviscerate these scumbag, predatory companies, who con desperate people suffering from very real mental health conditions was ironically extremely therapeutic! Thank’s Drew!

    I aspire to be as chill as Bim Bim. She gets locked in the room, complains for like 5 seconds, then just chills out and cleans herself. Iconic
