Congratulation on that attitude, Jimmy. You’ll do well in anything you want to accomplish. Just come back to this video anytime you feel down again. Hugs, brother.
I'm hoping he won't have to take meds anymore. Not trying to push my beliefs on anybody. I just know that those medicines are bad for you. I took lithium which is a mood stimulator or some crap. It ruined my thyroid. Now I'm on thyroid medicine. See the pattern they'll put you on a medicine then that medicine will mess you up then they'll have to put you on another medicine for the other medicine that matched you up. The cycle keeps going. I hope you understand what I'm saying cuz a lot of people don't know I'm always having to repeat myself. I shouldn't have to explain it.
One thing that has helped me is to focus more on my actions than my feelings. While feelings are important and inevitable, they’re often driven by an inner voice that is not always in my own best interest. So…I get out of bed, even when I feel like not getting up. I go to an event I’d rather not attend. I’m always happier in the end. On last thing is I tell myself that I am not saying “No” to something. Instead, I am saying “Yes” to my life. Glad to see you are doing better, and I wish you all the best moving forward!
Awesome attitude in life. That's what it takes to make it. Confidence. Awesome. I'm in Sou th FL about 2.5m from the Atlantic Ocean & LOVE watching sunrise. Having a plan is key in life. Stick to your plan. And remember "The past is history, the future's a mystery, but now.... now's a gift." YOU GOT THIS JAMES!
Thank you this video came when I really needed it. I felt on the edge of a SH relapse after being clean the longest I have since I started. So even if I do relapse again it won’t be tonight.
James, so nice to hear you talk about the future. You have many more decades ahead of you. Just take all the past experiences with you as a precious gift that made you what you are today. Find a combination between daily plans and what you want to realise in the future in general. Keep track with all of us here online. I wish you the best of luck !
Bro that is great I agree 110% why wait brother the Time is Now. “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Romans 13:11
That’s a lot of goals. No.1 tip would be to keep a journal or something you force yourself to write every night means you always end on a discipline win, and every failure is a learning experience that you can overcome the next day
"Take it easy..Take it easy.." "Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. We may loose and we may win But we will never be here again" -Eagles
You have more of the needed parts on hand than you think. When you were getting the hang of skateboarding, there were scrapes, wounds, bruises, pain, probably a couple of broken bones. But you like the feeling you get from it, and how it alters your perspective of the world around you. The same for any other skill set that you seek to master … as a musician, a filmer, an artist… you’ve got this and the best is yet to come! 😎
...and when things got hard you started looking for something to blame...like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take...and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! - Rocky
100% bro the change will be good and it's totally a process of getting there. Reaching the goals you set for yourself, taking risks yep but expanding perceived limitations. ❤
YES! You said in an earlier video that the only certainty in life is death. Ben Franklin threw taxes in there too but I digress. There's actually a second certainty, the only thing in life we can control, change, and/or improve is ourself. Simplifying goals is a good beginning, even if it's as simple as rolling out of bed at the alarm. You will be successful. The refocus is a great start. God Bless You James! -Ed
Hey bro, life can get hard sometimes. Whenever i go through issues in life I Turn to Jesus bro, and you should too. Come to Christ and be saved brother. Only he can save us man. True success is found in knowing and having a relationship in Jesus. God bless bro. Love you man ❤
@@Jwool.mp3please do Mr. Wool. It was written almost 2000 years ago and every week I find stuff in there written for me (and you). Amazing how smart God is.
I've watched a couple of your videos and honestly even though you are younger than me, it's amazing that you're trying to be positive. I've been struggling a lot this year trying to be positive and also struggle with suicidal thoughts/ideation. Lost my favorite job this year because of false allegations against me.
I think your future is as a RUclipsr/streamer, dropping out of college might be a good decision,alot of older people will scare you and say without college you'll never be rich and have everything but that's not true as long as learning and trying to push yourself forward.Even if you have setbacks, you just keep swinging.You mentioned before maybe getting a job job like blue collar while doing this in the beginning, I think that's wise, people tend to shit alot on working class jobs, that's sad, and remember your words to us James "You got this bro".😊 I'm going to try and hop on another of your streams tonight, hopefully I get on,if not I'll be watching,and there's always next stream.😊
Good on ya. Just remember to take one day at a time. Don’t give up if you slip up from time to time. Just keep those slipups rare and celebrate the progress 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
If u need a friend to help u. I can help u from far away. If you ever think of ending your life. Think of it this way, don't do something permanent for temporary problems. Trust me, tomorrow or the next day always gets better! I wanted to share that with you, so you don't ever do anything permanent. Life is never the same everyday. We always have bad times in our lives. It's how we respond to it that counts. You got this!❤
I just know that you're gonna blow up and be big one day in this platform and the others. I wish you the best and keep this positive thoughts unlike me.
There’s a change in yourself that feels genuine this time. All the times you said you were doing better before - I could see in your eyes you weren’t being honest. Your eyes are very telling. They look disconnected when your forcing. I see an improvement this time
Top tip, only make a commitment to the next thing, or the next day. You'll get a buzz and want to do it again. But don't overload yourself with expectation. Literally one day at a time. :)
@@Jwool.mp3 I only preach what I practice - like many of your followers, we've come from a dark place, and often go back to a dark place. I literally focus on one step at a time. eventually when you look back you'll be amazed. just look at your channel and followers - would you have guessed :) have a direction, yes, all those things, but don't make promises that you can't keep to yourself. but you can promise one day at a time
Hey Jwool Your posts are really similar to posts by Matthew. Read a few of Matthew's posts, look him up and communicate with him!! You have a lot in common. You might be able to cheer each other up!! You are both extremely intelligent and extremely good looking and you both have wonderful futures ahead, as soon as you cheer up! Rent a camper, get a couple fishing poles, and do a trip to a lake with Matthew!!
I'm not trying to tell you what to do but my personal opinion is you should not quit college. Just a few months ago when you started college you were saying that it was awesome, and now that it's gotten hard you want to drop out, I promise I'm not trying to lecture you or try to tell you what to do, at the end of the day I know it's not my business or my decision but I think you should make the decision that's best for you. I love the Sun but things don't grow because of the Sun, you have to have some rain, and you need to stop looking at rain in your life as a bad thing. At the end of the day it's your decision to make and you should make the one that's best for you and your mental health. You'll have your bad times but time will pass by, and I think if you're going to change your life and power through the bad times you got to keep going. I don't think you should quit college, I know it's gotten hard and I know things feel pretty hopeless but your mental health hasn't exactly been the best either, but once you start taking care of yourself and doing that whole discipline thing you were talking about, I promise it'll get easier. Keep going, keep growing in your faith and as a person; I know I have no right to tell you what to do and I don't know if you've actually done it already but I think you should definitely reconsider. Your college life is far from over because it's only just begun, it's going to be hard but you need to be prepared to face Good The bad and The ugly. I hope things get better for you and once again I'm not telling you what to do to make the decision that you want to make. One of my favorite quotes Sometimes you got to do what's best for you.
✅That's right. It's your life, you are the owner of it. So, it's up to you what to make out of it. But there are some circumstances, including people, around, that may hamper your efforts, so be strong and overcome.
James buddy you are a great person and Jesus is a great person for you and Jesus is a blessing to be with and you are that person to be with him to change your life
@@Jwool.mp3 Maybe check out some RUclips videos with those in the trades that are talking about their career choice. Easy to sit back and just watch and take it in. But at least you're moving forward doing research. Consider if you could use the skills from any of the trades in creating your music, or just for content here. ...anyway, wishing you all the best. Stay awesome!
Praying for you, James. I hope God will continue to speak to your heart and call you to a relationship with His son, Jesus. I get the sense that you are so close to finding not just your purpose in life, but the truth that is found in God's word (The Holy Bible).
You look like Eagle's swiss army knife NFL Jack of all trades Cooper DeJean who looks like actor Evan Peters who looks like a lot of random College curly hair guys with y'all look.
Oh boy I'm going to have a very unpopular view on your situation. YES you need disciplined and have a schedule in your life especially right now amongst the chaos.BUT! There is no rush to decide your future please listen to someone who was in your position and rushed into a career so everyone would know I was a success. I did not like the job / career it was a job it did not bring me happiness or fulfillment. Take the time in your life now try lots of things many you will fail at many you'll find you don't like. But it will set you up for success as an adult that you're becoming.
The one thing that helped me through my severe depression when I was your age was spending time meditating (I was into Japanese Zen at the time but I don't think the particular technique matters). It basically rewired my brain somehow so that I got grounded in the world as it is. And it's a fantastic world, even with all the flaws.. Anyway here'a an audiobook about it that I read way back when that helped get me started ruclips.net/video/u59jJhsXnwI/видео.htmlsi=DnhXaVpglaVPCYI7. If that doesn't speak to you, I encourage you to look for something similar that does. I think its something practical that would help.
Congratulation on that attitude, Jimmy. You’ll do well in anything you want to accomplish. Just come back to this video anytime you feel down again. Hugs, brother.
I'm hoping he won't have to take meds anymore. Not trying to push my beliefs on anybody. I just know that those medicines are bad for you. I took lithium which is a mood stimulator or some crap.

Yes, please watch your own videos. 😅
Thank you my friend, I agree. That’s a great idea
Good on you man! Keep being yourself and stay positive, you will get through anything that comes your way like you have already done before!
Absolutely man, I think everyone can change their lives if they really try. I’m gonna prove that to be true
Nice kid! Going to bed and waking up the same time EVERY DAY makes a world of difference for your health and well being!
Fact!
I agree, it sets a routine and routine is goof
@@Jwool.mp3 What do you mean by this, the last part?
