The YouTuber is now under fire for undermining the severity of anxiety after a Feb. 17 tweet went viral for all the wrong reasons. Though the tweet has since been deleted, screengrabs show that it allegedly said:

"Remember anxiety is created by you," the tweet reportedly said. "Sometimes you gotta let life play out and remind yourself to be happy & that the answers will come. Chill your mind out. Go for a walk. Talk with a friend."

Those who saw the tweet before it was removed shot back at the YouTuber for claiming that anxiety can simply be solved by
being "happy." Jake was accused of being insensitive, and of trying to invalidate medical professionals who diagnose anxiety.

Many were also concerned because Jake's fan base is largely comprised of teenagers. Several Twitter users expressed that Jake's words could potentially have teenagers thinking that their struggles are invalid and that they can simply put anxious thoughts out of their heads.

After receiving many messages online in response to his original tweet, Jake deleted it and then put out a statement that had people puzzled.
