Kody, you are a TOP tier mental health advocate. Your transparency helps others.
I am amazed at how self-aware, smart, emotionally mature and brave you are.
I totally agree with this comment. Kody you amaze me with all you do.
I always the most respect to people who show their hardest times and darkest moments. I always feel awful when I have depressive flare up as I'm at my max doses on both my meds and feel like a failure when I have an episode, but also tell myself it's not bad enough to warrant a med change. You do an amazing job at helping others understand your disorder, and all illnesses I know of have flareups, even while on the perfect meds. Keep up the great work and I'm so glad you were able to help yourself and Allison by getting passed that paranoia.
You're wonderful! Please, ignore the haters.
They are just people dissatisfied with themselves.
You are very important to this world. Thank you for making the world a better place!We appreciate everything you do❤.
Think of us and all who love you...
Don't think about the haters...they don't matter.
Thanks for sharing! I work in community mental health and work in a first episode treatment team for those experiencing Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder and I love it! I enjoy meeting and seeing how far people can become functioning people in society. We all have to ask for help sometimes!! 💙
Glad to hear from you. I’m so glad that you are taking care of yourself. I hope you’re feeling really proud about that. 😊
I'm glad that you were thoughtful of others and got help when it was needed.
Proud of you for asking for help. That’s a very brave and smart move. I hope I have the courage to make a decision like that if I need to.
Cheering for you, bud ❤
Heartbreaking to hear you feel the need to explain yourself to those who have something negative to say about something they obviously know nothing about. I’m so sorry you experienced such scary things. Thank you for remembering to care of yourself, you’re human too, give yourself grace!
I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this, I think your doing an amazing job with coping with all this. Extremely brave😊🙏🏻
No! Thank you for sharing this whole story with us. I really appreciate the fact that you are honest with us with all the sides because I struggle with D.I.D and this is comforting to see such a good influence struggle as well. It reminds me that one day this can be me too, helping many even through my struggles.
wish you a compassionate recovery :)
Thank you for sharing! and Congrats on almost 50k!
Hi Kody! You are one brave and tough cookie! I work for a nonprofit here in NYC that helps house the mentally ill and homeless. We have been going through such a tough time getting our clients to comply with their treatment plan. 1 out of 100 are a success story. The rest of our clients are dual diagnosis or refuse their meds. We have had a number of unprovoked attacks on staff by our clients struggling with psychosis but there is only so much we can do. The mental health system in NYC is broken beyond belief. I can’t even tell you the amount of incidents where I’ve called the police to transport a patient to the psychiatric ER, and once there, the client just walks out. I wish we had more authority of power to help these poor souls but unfortunately many of our clients do not trust medication. Any tips or advice on how we can better assist our clients to keep them and others safe? It breaks my heart that we have given people the right to fail and regress.
Hey Kody, thanks for being you. I have learned a lot from you and I appreciate how open you are.
I appreciate you and what you do to share the reality of your situation in hopes to educated and possibly help someone feel not alone on their own road. Love and hugs always.
Hi, I saw some of your videos. I respect you a lot and thank you so much for sharing these bad moments with us. You're very strong. I have a friend who has schizophrenia but he doesn't want to take any medicine or medicate himself in any way. I'd love for him to cope with it like you're doing (because you're doing an amazing job) but I know it's not easy. I always wondered how did you understand you needed help and decided that was time to medicate yourself.
Thank you again for what you do and share about mental health. You made me understand him better.
Hey Kody. Thanks for sharing. Sorry you are finding it so rough. I also have schizophrenia. Stigma and self stigma have been one of the worse things to deal with but you have given me courage and hope. Thanks for sharing your journey and being so honest. Well done for making the right decision and checking yourself in. So glad your doctors listened.
Congratulations on your followers! Bad days suck, but we wouldn't have good days without them. Thanks for updating us!
As someone with multiple diagnosis’ I am wowed by you. Your videos do so much good for folks with these kind of struggles. Well done!
I appreciate that you are real.
I'm so glad I stumbled across you , your helping me so much , I don't have schizophrenia but suffer hugely with PTSD , extreme anxiety and depression with a personality disorder also in recovery 13+ years and started menapause early due to having a cyst removed along with a hysterectomy at 46
I'm dyslexic so I hope this makes sense, what I'm trying to say is I can relate so much to what your saying and experiencing, Thanks for the content.
You’re awesome, glad you’re doing better! ❤
"Don't worry, I'm real" YOU ARE AMAZING!
I'm grateful you feel better. I have also had very bad mental health days recently. I don't have schizophrenia but I've dealt with paranoia, intrusive thought and depression. Unfortunately the health system here in Peru is not the best so I can't find something that I feel comfortable with, but I'm still trying and your videos help me understand I'm not alone and it's ok to have bad days even on meds.
Kody- Thank you for this update! We HAVE ALL BEEN THERE my friend!!! I am so sorry you had to go through that but you and I both know it’s all part of this illness sadely . This community needs you! I NEED YOU!!!
I'm so proud of you for taking care of yourself and getting help. And yes, I think it's super important that people get to see all of this, the ups and the downs. ❤️❤️
Ive been to hospitals before, I know how scary and difficult it is..My visits did a lot more damage than help, but I am very happy you had a better experience :)
I admire what you’re doing so much for the schizophrenia community as well as just providing normalcy to people that don’t know much about the disease.
I wish my brother could’ve seen your videos before he passed away. Keep doing what your doing Kody and know that you’re helping change the stigma behind schizophrenia.
My 29 year old Son is Schizophrenic and I just wanted to thank you for your content. You are a bright light and I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks! ❤
Just bought a Tshirt too!
Glad you can get help. Take care.
Thank you so much for sharing!! You must know by now how nosie we are lol. But joking aside, it's really educational in a good way, you show us how relatable your illness really is. Mainstream media mysticizes mental illness. But in reality we can all understand it and relate.
Welcome to the club I guess? The mood disorder side of things is definitely a struggle. I’m sorry you’re experiencing what you’re experiencing. Just know there’s a huge community here supporting you.
Unless a person has experienced this themselves they won’t be able to fully understand. I’m going through family court which has made me the worst I have been for years. Voices from the moment I wake up. Psychotic depression is so effing dangerous. Which is why I have to work closely with my care team in order to manage symptoms. I can’t work or take care of anyone if I’m back in active psychosis. I’m also an accredited mental health first aider. Which means I’m trained and from lived experience instinctively know when someone is going through a mental health crisis and within my scope of practice get them urgent help. Glad to see you doing better mate. You’re role in mental health advocacy is so important. Maybe one day I’ll post some content to help others. I’m not on social media for safety reasons so I hope you read the comments. ✌️🇦🇺
Hi Kody!! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I work in a residential facility in California for people with clinical mental health diagnosis & a history of incarceration. We get a lot of people with schizophrenia and I am constantly trying to learn more about it. I have showed your audio stimulation video to our staff & I think it provided such incredible insight and an interactive way to learn more about schiz. My question for you is (and I can probably do a deep dive into your channel, which I am so happy to find! I also follow on IG!) .... what medications have you found the most helpful? Not so helpful? You mentioned you are often switching it up and I know one size does not fit all, but curious what your favs are and also to hear about how antidepressants help you. Once again, I applaud your transparency & willingness to share. Never mind the haters, they are internally tortured themselves. Thank you so much & wishing you a full & happy life.
You are incredibly self-aware. A lot of people, with mental illness and no diagnosed mental illness alike, do not have the same level of self-awareness that you do. You are an amazing person, for sharing your story. The one thing I've learned (having been diagnosed with disorders myself), is that our mental health is not linear, but cyclical in nature. I know the term "recovered" works for a lot of people, but it's one that doesn't work for me. It implies that our mental health struggles/wellness are linear, and brings a negative connotation when we have times of "unwellness". The thing that I've learned, is to expect that it is cyclical, and that there will be times that things are well managed, and times where they are not. Once I learned, and accepted that, I found it a little easier to not blame myself for my moments of "unwellness". I believe that it's important to be aware of and make responsible decisions in regard to our mental health. But I also believe, that in my case, it's important for me to take responsibility for the behaviour that I can control, and make an effort to work on it. I don't know the ins and outs of schizophrenia, as it's a much more complex disorder than anything I've ever dealt with. Taking responsibility for behaviour may not apply in the same way it does for me. Also, when reading this, please frame it as someone outside looking in. I don't know the complexities of everything you deal with. I only know what you share. Therefore, my opinion may be moot. The key thing is adjusting your expectations regarding your times of mental "wellness" and mental "illness". I'm not sure how else to phrase that. There is nothing inherently wrong with those two states. You can't really control either one of them. You can only be aware of them, and adjust how you feel regarding your struggles (ie.blaming yourself or getting down on yourself). You did nothing to cause what you're dealing with mental health wise. I know it's hard to remember these things when you're going through it. Once I learned to accept that it's a part of my emotional makeup, I blamed myself a little less. I know that things may be a lot more complex for you, but this is how I've managed. It may not work for you. I honestly validate what you are going through, and I'm sorry that you didn't feel safe in those moments. I wish I could send you a big hug. I'm glad that you took the time to get yourself stabilized. That takes a lot of strength. Just remember how strong you are.
The depressive mood disorder with schizophrenia, has made me unable to sleep for 30 years, I am now what I call a lunatic, I' now just can't seek medical attention or shower for 20 years, I haven't left the house in 10 years,
Why I've survived because I keep trying to better myself,
That's why I said to you it's not 10% what we experience 90% what we think, sometimes it's 90% the illness
When you are using your camera to check if something you see is a visual hallucination, couldn't you use a volume meter to check for auditory hallucinations ?
I have a question. Does your illness affect your taste?
do you know what triggered this to come out now ? for these hallucinations to be different and more negative ? don't ever be disapointed in yourself, only PROUD.
It’s refreshing to see how many people are here to support you 💯. On Instagram I see tons of positive feed back & people even educating others about your struggles. Keep being you & you are awesome 👏🏻
Thank you Kody! 🫶
