I read some of those comments on your last video and was really disappointed. Saying to someone struggling with their mental health go and get a skill or stop blaming people is beyond not helpful. You're on a journey, we are all on a journey but of differing degrees. There will always be people who will judge and there are people who can't deal with their own emotions and their solution is to put that wall up and put up and shut up. It's a shame. I'm really happy to see your strength in this video, your integrity is your strength. Please don't let these negative close minded comments affect you. You're on the way up! X

Well said Adam, much respect to you. 🙂

I’m often in two minds whether to comment or not because I don’t want to do any harm. I usually do comment but after a lot of thought. So one thing I read when you g through a tough time mentally has stuck with me. It turned out to be true, for me anyway. But that’s not to say it’ll work for anyone else. Here it is anyway. It has been said that humans don’t get over things like major emotional trauma. A relationship breakdown or partner cheating. Something like that. We don’t get over it but when the next big problem comes along that must be dealt with it helps push the former thing down the scale of importance. I guess what it’s saying is if something consuming comes along it takes our mind off of the thing we’ve been stewing over and over time it seems less important. It’s not fixed, just less important. Again like I said at the top this may be of no value but hopefully harmless if so.

Hey Adam 👋 Melissa here 😀 .... Well done for speaking up and voicing your opinions! The people who doubt your character or assume you do certain things for reasons they have made up in their own heads are just judging you on themselves. Certain brain types can't imagine why you are the way you are because they lack emotional intelligence. There's nothing you can say to get these types to understand you. Do remember though, the people who do understand you, can see what a wonderful job you are doing as you delve into self exploration. You are working hard every minute of the day to detangle your thoughts and find ways to deal with your feelings, thoughts and emotions and also the opinions others put on you. Take it from me, I know many wonderful people just like yourself and its easy for others to assume what they are thinking and tell them what they are thinking and what they mean by their words, but so so many people have no clue just how wrong they are. You have a right to feel all you feel and say what you think and mean, and when most people get it wrong and judge you on themselves, please remember that they are lacking something, not you. You are brave and strong. You are not hurting anyone, infact you help many by just being who you are. It takes strength to open up to anyone and you do it on here knowing you will be harshly judged. Keep fighting through and doing what you are doing. I think your opinions and feelings deserve to be heard and if some or many people don't like it, it's because they lack something in their own lives, hearts or minds. You are on a journey of self discovery and that means you have to search for anything that causes you harm or distress and then you speak openly about it so you can learn how to cope with it or remove if from your life. Keep being you and searching to find more of who you are. When you upset people with opinions and feelings that are not offensive, it means you have your voice and they have to look closer at their own isses. You bring something out in people and I think anyone putting you down just means you have brought out something in them which perhaps they should look into with a therapist. I have therapy and I know I need to discuss those in my life that pee me off, I'm not blaming them, I'm finding ways to understand myself so I can be more understanding of them so I'm not so distressed by their lack of empathy or awareness. We have to communicate our isses so we can learn ways to manage them. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 Be you and own your voice 👏 Take care , Melissa ✨️

A lot of people project their own stuff on to others. They’re basically telling you to “suck it up” and they’re probably using that same approach on themselves to avoid looking at their own emotional problems. And I’m not criticising them, I’ve been there done that too. Ironically going to therapy is the opposite of looking for someone to blame because you’re actually taking responsibility for yourself by getting help.

The people who attack in comments are masking their own problems and being lost in thought themselves. Great video and you were very clear man

Most people aren’t very emotionally sensitive or self aware. I don’t think you are looking for anyone to blame. I think it’s normal to try to understand why we experience life the way we do, especially if we don’t feel happy a lot of the time and we’re trying to find out how to improve that.

Facing the problem involves identifying the tracic element/root cause. I watched your last video, and to me it looked like you did it like a champ. Yelling in your car is a very good ventilation action, for the resulting emotional distress! I used to yell in my helmet on long scooter trips to nowhere. Only crows and cows across 3 continental European countries, will ever know what I yelled about. Not allowing the emotional fallout of a root cause investigation of emotional distress, can sometimes be avoidance wearing the cloac of stoisism. Stoicism/Budism tells us to feel, accept and not cling on. There is no letting go of anything, before the feeling has been embraced and accepted. Facing the feeling is the scariest part for most people. You've done it, and no one can take that away from you! -Teh 35 year old socialworker.

You can see the progress you are making in this video compared to where you started. So ace to see. I see confident, animated, articulate full of life. I like the improved fuck you Adam. More please!

I think maybe an apology is in order. My previous comment on the last video may have been a bit misunderstood. Yes, I fully agree that good mental health is extremely important in today's world and it definitely needs addressing, in whatever way that you see fit, if somebody is struggling with their mental health, I say that because I am going through similar scenarios to yourself and have been through bad periods in the past as well, so I understand your frustrations and your conflicts with the demons. I sincerely hope that the help you are already receiving will bring satisfactory closure to your suffering. What I was trying to say previously was that especially in situations of narcissism and toxicity in the home, it can often become exhausting, if you try to confront those who you feel are to blame, for the way you feel, purely because its a known fact that narcissists rarely except responsibility for any problems they cause or may have caused, and will try to divert or avoid confrontations. You and only you know deep down who is truly at fault and there's nothing wrong with feeling like that sometimes, if you do. Its definitely a situation where if you haven't been through it you don't understand, as you said. It's also logical that in order to fix a problem, you need to find the cause, in order to provide the solution to it.

The intention is to transcend condemnation to arrive at enlightenment and contentedness. Nice editing by the way.

Please ignore the rogue muppet in your comments section, Ad. They're not even worth your response. Even if you caught them out, they'd probably just move the goal posts - you always get that one muppet! Anyone who understands mental health knows that upbringing is pivotal and a child isn't responsible for his care giver's behaviour (whether intentional or not). Exactly as you say, it's not about blame. It's about being aware of the root so you can actually do something about it.

Great upload! Those few people IMO is not worth this upload or time. But great video nonetheless to create some awareness for many of us.

From what I see from your vids, yes there is narcissist abuse from family and yeah it's super unfair and makes no sense. Your on your way to healing and it's okay for you to not be able to make sense of it all, take care ❤❤

Mental health is not taboo, mental health is misunderstood. Lets just say that your perspective is correct but your choice of word isn't. The reason why it's misunderstood is because in the west psychology, psychiatry and neurology are topics that only recently have been accessible to the public and even so are relatively hard topics to understand for the layman, especially without first hand experience or any form of study in the field. Most people rely on the authority of medical practitioners and don't really think about the subject of mental health as something they can do something about, we are raised to depend on authority figures and to take pills when things are going wrong, rather than critically think about problems to try and solve them ourselves. This leads to a lot of people feeling uncomfortable with the subject and because it's uncomfortable they tend to joke about it or lash out against it in rebellion because it's something foreign and external to their knowledge, this also applies to many issues such as race, nutrition, politics, religion and so on. Basically the cause is ignorance and lack of awareness.

Fwiw those "looking for someone to blame" comments come from people who don't understand. I also believe that the vast majority, despite their harshness, want to help. Tough love is still love and don't let the ignorance of others get you down.

havent commented on this channel in a while and im doing so now to urge you to look into narrating audiobooks. i mean, i cant be the first person to notice you got a voice i could listen to for hours, right?

I don't think your voice needs the extra bass :)

Im my opinion you owe no explanation about anything on why or how you are trying to figure out the cause and effect of the experiences you are going or gone through. No need for any clarification. Keep your boundaries checked and straight for people who raise an eyebrow!

sorry. you should try christianity. 🥰
