Soft White Underbelly I would be happy to volunteer my time for anything. I love that you’re giving these amazing people a voice.

CanelaThePup I’m not sure what exactly anyone can do for these people. The missions and others provide food, clothing, shoes and needles. It’s very dangerous (I’ve been robbed three times in the past three months). It’s dirty and so loud at times that you can hardly have a conversation with anyone on the street. I don’t know what exactly one can do that these individuals. What they need most they are unwilling to do for themselves. I’ve bought a bunch of people tents. That’s probably the most useful thing you could do for them.

She is by far my favorite. I wish she could go back in time and life the life she deserves.

I realized that as well

My heart is so worried

She was caring and thoughtful too the first time he interviewed her in 2010. She has a lovely soul. So sad to see the mental downturn she’s taken from all the drug use. It’s heartbreaking

If he said let's go buy it and smoke together the answer would be different ❗

Obviously… Thks for pointing that out. 🖕 Addiction is real… hope it never effects you or anyone you care about.

So unbelievably sad....breaks your heart

Where did you see her other video?

The one in 2010 first ,then this one nine years later so horribly sad

lynettez72 YES! I agree! when i was 10-12 my parents showed me an article in LIFE magazine about addiction and it really traumatized me... i think young teens need to see this! It could really help!

I agree

Nah that's bullshit your extremely dumb.. That's the result of meth Heroin or even crack. Don't have those effects Crack is like breaking a picture of yourself in 1000 prices and repairing it

I'm right there with you girl. Watching these has given me a surge of gratitude and my God.. words just cant express how truly blessed we who make it out alive are.

Prolonged drug abuse is a continuous gateway to demonic abuse.. I know all about it as you do. Peace upon you also

@@pestlund Absolutely agree with you!! It took me a long time to understand how far down the rabbit hole this really goes. She is a perfect example of the spiritual bondage. I knew what she was talking about and it gave me chills thinking back on my own demonic experience. I watched her video from 9 years ago and I really hope she can find her way back to God.

have often found there to be a spiritual aspect also...this can be some very negative energies... I go into situations like this and way worse with the armor of God and a prayer before I start my shift

I totally agree with that

People are called to do this work. I believe they can feel when they need a break. Sitting in a therapist's office would probably be similar.

So true brother. Have to counter these energies. Have to release their destiny or demise through a prayer and release..

Interesting comment. It's so odd, I'm so drawn to all these stories and mini auto biographies per say. It's funny cuz I've NEVER done any drugs, have a good job, but I'm obsessed with these stories. And t I noticed that it takes a small toll on me. I think about who ever was interviewed all day. There are lot of homeless people in my city and I just find every story fascinating, but I dnt brush off the stories easily. A small feeling is left lingering afterwards. I can only imagine how much worst it would be to listen to these stories face to face and meet these people

Its extremely rare for somebody in this stage of addiction to get out of it, shes talking about masturbating at an intersection because someone “took something important from her” selling your body to strangers for years will leave you with no self esteem i can only imagine, i stole lied and cheated for the better part of 8 years (im a man so i really couldnt sell myself) and that robbed all my self esteem so i can only imagine selling your body how low it can get

When she said "someone took something very important to me" it was almost like her memory travelled back to when she was sexually abused as a child. She said in the first video that the town she lived in treated her poorly because she told the cops about the abuse. They didn't believe her and years later, the same man was arrested for sexually abusing his own children. That experience will just shatter a person's worth and sense of safety. She said when she smoked heroin, it was the first time she didn't feel bad - or anything at all. She has been trying to escape the torment inside her since. She grew up in Newport Beach, then Fountain Valley and that's a pretty wealthy enclave in Orange County. This kind of trauma happens everywhere and it is just so damaging to society. They should really come down hard on child molesters.

Nobody belongs there….

Is psychosis reversible?

Extensive studies among a variety of populations worldwide have shown a significant proportion of people with substance-induced psychosis later transition to a diagnosis of schizophrenia, approx 25% - 40%, with some studies showing upwards of 66%.

right

Agreed. This could happen to any one of us or our loved ones.

Seriously? Lol! He gave her money and thereby enabled her. NOT respectful at all.

John Swaim that’s BS, you’re so off base it’s sad. I’m sorry for you that you can’t see the good Mark is doing for these people by sharing their traumatic stories. Who knows how many he’s saved already just by showing the reality of where you can end up by playing around with drugs. None of these people are savable unless they’re ready and willing to put in the effort needed to be successful. But if he saves just one kid from going down the wrong path in life by sharing these sad stories, all of his work is worth it!! ❤️💕

Sharing doesn’t help. How does it benefit them? They get $20 and buy more heroin. No great advice or resources provided... show people how tp help and actually do it. Otherwise it’s like extortion.........

Well said..I feel the same. Bless them.

I feel the same way. After seeing her first video I was so hopeful in this second interview that she would be better. It's heartbreaking....completely. 😞

would you believe me if i told you that lots of people "enjoy" such content?

That sentence killed me inside. Jesus, what a sick society we have created

What a line... so simple yet... I can’t even imagine the experience she has gone through to be able to articulate it this way

Deep ain't it😬🥺

9 years follow up. How many more has she felt this way? 😢

Well, death is known as a seamless transition to the effect that one does not realize s/he has died; instead life continues. (Shrugging my shoulders)

heartbreaking to see such a beautiful person fall to waste to this poison. I truly wish her well.

MamasaurusMcIlvain spent a lot of alone time analysing their life and past life, results in well spoken philosophies

I was just thinking the same thing .. like I can understand what she is trying to say about heroin is controlling the environment around her

Studies have revealed, people who have a higher IQ are more susceptible to mental health problems and addiction. It's hard for some to "get away" from their thoughts.

hmm i question who you associate with...

she's talking absolute nonsense. way worse than the "normal" population. what are you on about?

J Mad Thanks for the nice comment and for watching, J Mad. ML

It's called paranoia

I have a family member with schizophrenia. It’s so strange to me how it seems they all talk about very similar things that are happening to them (government watching them, being poisoned, controlled by radioactive frequencies, etc).

Nicole Singleton yea like how do they all come up with the same things....

@@liabw05 The schizoid constellation comprises a number of typical symptoms, present in greater or lesser amounts, further mitigated through numerous indiosyncratic aspects of each case, the time of onset, the number of years, and of course the individual triggers. The easiest way to answer that question - employing Occams razor for the least-words-being-the-best - would go to the essense of the communication with God business. Think of what would happen igf the pipeline from experience to memory suddenly developed leaks - the continuity of your memory of the world around you and you as a part of it would become dislodged, and you would move forward but more and more influenced by inner, rather than outer, stimuli. The broad highway of your world would narrow, and your own thoughts would be magnified in relation to others. The schizoid personality can't do situational ethics .. they have complex rule structures they can get very OCD about and depending on the severity, become paranoid, thinking themselves to be more important as against their surroundings. This cany allowing them to contextualize the feeling by associating their inner "certainty" with messages fro God or, in extreme circumstances, actually being God. That having been said, three major world religions, Judaism, Christianty, and Islam have the origins in a Moses, a leader who spoke to a burning bush, Paul, who fell off his donkey transfixed by a vision under the burning sun, and a Mohammad, a seeker dealing with sensory deprivation in a cave where he talks to an angel. Who's to say - how about the insomniac dyslexic metaphysician up all night pondering the existence of "Dog" "

Its because they tap into the great machine intelligence that is this life. There is an intelligence, but its easier to be dismissive. Also brain damage but there is something to what they're saying

DAGMAR RAMGAD but it’s certainly easier and a real possibility if you decide you want to leave!

I was raised to believe I was not only unworthy of love, I also didn't deserve to live. It was hell. I'm an adult now, but I still feel unworthy of love. I know I have the right to live but I think it's more existence.

I wish more people understood this very simple fact- it almost always starts as a way to cope.

Elle Cee learn to love yourself by doing something for yourself every day if you can. It can be something better small like telling yourself you look pretty orbiting a new lipstick or getting your favorite take out etc etc. Tell yourself each day in the morning I am Ellen and I am worthy of love, respect and happiness.

@@pamelapap Very sweet advice, but not effective for someone who deeply believes since childhood that they are unlovable. They need to address this on a much deeper level. I have learned to find my own truth, not the truth of my father and that has changed my believes about myself. The Work of Byron Katie did the trick for me, highly recommended!

Sophia Awaritefe 20 years? My mom is 65 and doesn’t look anything close to this old! Bless her heart.

She looks almost exactly the same. Not bad imo

Honestly she’s 50 years old, if she got a shower, hair done and some make up she could clean up nice but of course obviously she is tapping into some different layers of info and she isn’t able to clearly discern bc at the same time she detached from everyday reality and she’s using artificial means to do so she sounds crazy.. I wish she could get treatment she really does have a lotta heart

I’m afraid it beyond her time to recover. She is now truly mentally ill.

Wrong…. Had the same happen to me, and I never did what she has…🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

Have you watched her first interview? She’s completely different.

This is called drug-induced psychosis my dear.

her mom was schizophrenic. I think she is too. drugs do take a toll, but she has a serious psychiatric disorder she has no control over. Her references to "they take, control, body, screaming, robot" etc. seem to be in response to her mental symptoms, like she knows she's altered & wants the bad thoughts/voices out of her head & body. It is likened to ER videos when people have an insect inside of their ear. They exhibit many of the same behaviors(yelling, hitting, obsessive thoughts, erratic movements) etc as do a lot of mental health/addicts. Go Figure . . .

Angela Daniell Angela, Yes, that first interview with Caroline was the very first one I ever did. The one I’m uploading tomorrow (11/17) with a young girl named Ronnie is another strong one because of how eloquently she describes her struggles with the issues that I believe are the cause of all self destructive behaviors. Thanks for watching all of them! ML

Jungle Bitchez With Love True, and if people could just protect and just love their children and give them more hope...maybe beautiful people like her wouldn’t end up like this.

tell that to the politicians. they don't care.

homelessness doesn't only affect mentally ill individuals. But yes mental health is a major issue and something we should work on as a society to provide support to these people because they are equally deserving of a healthy life. Hopefully in the future things will improve.

Lillian Falba did you even read my full response? Because nothing I wrote goes against what you responded with.

Lillian Falba I have a background in mental health/ psych. And like I said before and I’ll say it again. It’s something we need to work on as a society. Between stigmas and unaffordable co-pays it’s not a big enough priority as it should be. Which is what I was vaguely referring to when I said our mentally ill population is something we should work on as a whole society. They’re part of it too and it’s not something they should go through alone which is why I said as a society we should proved support because they deserve equal opportunity at having a healthy life. Ma’m let me reiterate, what I said about the homelessness. Just because the majority of mentally ill people are on the streets. Doesn’t mean the majority of people on the streets are mentally ill. However that being put aside. If affordable housing was prioritized and better support was offered to those who are suffering with mental health or even addiction. The homelessness crisis would be close to solved.

Lisa M I don’t know a lot about it, but I’ve heard the plant ibogaine has helped some addicts quit permanently

Lisa M p.s. addictions are caused by childhood trauma, usually sexual and/or seeing something very traumatic. The dopamine and seratonin receptors stop working properly and the drugs/alcohol temporarily raise those in the brain, which creates the addiction. One of the problems with these substances is in higher amounts of alcohol or strong drugs like heroine or cokaine is they raise it higher than normal then the person feels even more depressed after the high of it comes down and searches after feeling “normal” and amazing again. A lot people also feel like-when it’s still in the “good” stage before they crash from being too drunk or high on those drugs is that they feel they can think through things more clearly. This is because when dopamine and seratonin are chronically low it can be too painful (literally) to really think through their issues, or they get stuck on the wrongs done to them, on repeat in a ptsd kind of way. I hope this is somewhat helpful in understanding where your son is coming from and I really hope you guys find a treatment that works well for him AND brings him healing. Please tell him there are people out there that understand him and what he feels and wish him hope and healing

@@ladyfrederick788 wow, you described that so well. When I'm drunk I feel Norma, or what normal is ment to feel like. When I'm sober, I can hardly function.

That's all we can do is cope the best we can, and hopefully find other better ways to cope down the track..

The wrong road and she kept going. Smh

Doing a lot of cocaine or meth will cause psychosis in many users. I experienced this myself and many of my addict acquaintances thought they could control airplanes with their mind, communicate using ESP, thought the DEA was listening to them with bugging devices, a lot of religious delusions.. luckily when I quit, after a period of time, the paranoia and hallucinations slowly went away. I always called it "drug induced schizophrenia"

Alabaster Figueroa is the psychosis something that is temporary and would go away if someone stopped using? You said you've experienced it so I was just curious.

@@melwps440 I think for most people it goes away. It takes time though, But some people end up in the mental hospital for a couple months. In drug treatment, a doctor told me that some people have problems for the rest of their life, even after they quit, with the schizophrenia symptoms and psychosis, although I think it's probably pretty rare.

Drugs have caused the psychosis. She has a bipolar diagnosis from teen years
