    Daniel and I filmed an update about a year after this original video: ruclips.net/video/xc1tbETJpX4/видео.html
    For some reason there's no comments allowed on the video and I can't change that on my end. I think it's a glitch in the algorithm.

      Unfortunately I believe the more aware you are of these things within the conscious logical mind the worse it makes the experience. We’re fully lucid we have a defect that didn’t come with a warranty from the manufacture and were pissed we “bought” into it.
      At least the ones truly not fully there have some peace and bliss more periodically than what we experience.

      I think it's a good thing to be self-aware, because it helps you both manage things to the best of your ability and also explain to others how they can support you. You have some amount of control back, and the strength to move on forward.

      Dumb people don’t experience psychosis. You experience psychosis because you’ve, in a way, realized you’re in the matrix (role playing an existence). It comes from thinking critically on an existencial level. If there is trauma or some sort of emotional damage, then you become a prisoner of your own mind as it’s hard to make logic of feelings. Speaking from experience.

Because when it comes to wrongful death or injury to a mentally disabled person, families want justice. When the tables are reversed families they take no responsibility. It's always the the government and societies fault.

    I want to cry with how much I relate to this. It's so exhausting to just exist. It's exhausting to do the things I used to love, like art. It's exhausting hearing people tell you it's all in your head or you're lazy or you're overreacting and that I can't keep a job for very long. It doesn't help. In fact, it just makes it worse. I battle every day of my life. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I just do a load of laundry. Everyday tasks are difficult. I rewrote this comment like 5 times because I kept telling myself that it doesn't matter. I just hope it matters to someone out there. I want that someone to know they aren't alone. Most of my frustration comes from the fact that no one understands what I go through and I am never able to put my feelings into verbal words, but seeing this video made me feel better. I hope to one day become an author and a comic artist. I hope for that future.

      It's really not though... Just as he feels he has "no self worth," an explains when he has bad days. Just waking up, not wanting to live. Cause it's just the same nothingness every day etc...
      He got excited when dude asked a his toys, cause it was dude abnormally something about him and if his. An just sitting ANY interest in him and/or something about him
      The problem is, he has no interests, no hobbies, nothing he looks forward to. Nothing to occupy himself, nothing that makes him interesting to others...
      So guess what, now people show an interest in his "schizophrenia." Now he's outwardly projecting that he needs help, an is happy to recieve the help and or attention. The thing is there are allot of young people who feel as though they have no purpose, an I'm not saying it's an "act" or the he's fully in control of being that way. Cause some schizophrenic people do definitely hallucinate and see things, or hear voices. I just believe that he's got more control over it all then he thinks or realizes.

He is aware of his mental illness, has changed my perspective to try and reach out more for myself and for others and to just try to communicate the best and purist way I can and be kinder even to ppl I don't know. I hope they truly are helping him not just drugging him to the max and I really do hope you keep in touch with this guy as I wished I were able to be his friend aswell. I have borderline and it's rough aswell as the anxiety and the complex ptsd and depressive disorders. I get it and life is hard. Especially for people with issues life this man's and trying to fit in and act like what ppl perceive as normal...bravery and glad he shared this with us....he is worth more than he gives himself credit for. I want to hug him, if he was comfortable with a hug. I had a friend with this disorder that passed away. I never understood his mental illness and I understand it better now. So thank you. ❤

      It's more than that.

This made him feel guilty about seeking help from military agencies, because he felt he didn't deserve it and that other veterans deserve it more. Then, the channel creator spoke to organizations which help veterans and they welcomed him and re-affirmed that he deserves help as much as anyone else.

At first i would react to those comments and had lots of arguments with my friends and now strangers. To divert my attention and ignore those voices in my head i would put on earphones to listen to videos and music all the time from the moment of waking up. though my hearing ability got reduced slightly but now i hear voices in my head very randomly. Once a day or twice. Most of the credit goes to medication. as everyone knows medication is to be taken. sometimes i would have headaches at start but now i don't have any. Though i lost confidence in my life but i think now i can take some personality development classes to improve that.

      @@jamieyoung784 it could seem that way and to be honest it felt that way too. For a long time I couldn’t feel emotions because of the meds. the fear of not being able to feel joy or anything really was constant. I couldn’t even have a regular conversation to find a joke funny or to have interest in anything I used to enjoy. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be over ever but I knew I couldn’t give up hope. So it was really like believing something you can’t see can’t feel can’t know for sure with no evidence but so just keep saying to myself “god will save me”. I wasn’t a Christian back then but what really had me going was faith. Right before I was forced to the mental hospital I talked to a priest because like Daniel said, all voices are dark and they just put a lot of dark thoughts in me. The priest and other Christians made sure to me that god will saved me (and then soon I was forced to be in the hospital XD) The other thing that got me going back then was my family’s support and love. Not even for one day they ever lose faith that I will recover. They had such strong faith ( not sure why) that this was just an illness and with treatment I would definitely be recovered and live the life I used to live - never once they showed their worry or doubt in me getting better in front of me, which gave me strength to combat the voices, the fear, the delusion. So your brother is very very lucky to have you as a loving family member around. I’m sure maybe he doesn’t know how to say now but when he can he will. And he will!!!! I can relate to 90% what Daniel said. More or less the same thing had happened to me. I still have leftover syndromes but I can now work and live like everyone else. If I don’t tell no one knows I have schizophrenia. So I guess what my best suggestion is
      Get treatment, always talk and work closely with your doctor on any side effect that is going on and TRUST your psychiatrist.
      Family and friend support means the world.
      Have faith. Dont lose hope. I’m sure god will save your brother too. ❤️

      When I describe psychosis it’s exactly that. You are conscious and aware per usual, but your subconscious is fighting to be noticed (while you are awake), so you “feel” or “sense” things differently and become hyper aware of everything, and you have a third conscious trying to parse out what is the normal conscious and what is the subconscious.
      In other words, our brains become over stimulated. We shut down and retreat because that’s the surest way to survive. This guy unfortunately keeps retreating and being talked to this way and likely given pills. This is where western ideologies and medicine fail us as a society.

To me there's not a lot of (helpful) relatable information out there for this type of reality affecting neurodivergence that schz/a is.. and I want to thank you Daniel from the bottom of my everything for being you and for being so brave and courageous.. not only by doing this interview (whew the intimacy and trust required!) but for each and every day you have here on Earth. Not only do you uplift and enlighten all types of people through your sharing in this video, but also with those in your life close to you, and wanted to add that you undoubtedly bless and inspire sooo much good just by being alive and existing here with us! A completely integral part of the ever- growing, discovering, and loving aspect that a lot call human consciousness, where some romantics like me enjoy entertaining the idea that no matter what or how I see myself, my individual experiences could be (and maybe actually are) helping others in unseen ways.. maybe even comforting the hurt others could be faced with. Love seeing the smiles!! Idk, call me optimistic (😅😂😶‍🌫️) if you will lol, but I find I personally feel and do better when I can shape my focus onto where I am nurturing the love around me.. with people or animals (even if it's just acknowledgement and sharing a kind moment), or taking part in the embodiment of love by realizing I am alive purposefully, and reminding myself that I am an irreplaceable part of this shared journey, witnessing the love in-action that higher power/God/energy glues us all to the map with lol, and take comfort in knowing all this has a benefit somehow, somewhere even when I am at my worst. Helps me on my journey to self-acceptance and finding self-love. Just like you did by sharing your experience here, Daniel totally irreplaceable, and doing so much good. You give me hope dude. Thank you for everything. ❤

      I read on another video's comment about something related to this. The person studied neuroscience and said that c-ptsd in children facilitates the development of mesocortical connections while neglecting mesolimbic connections. I'll quote the comment:
      "This basically means that children with CPTSD don’t have the chance to be children, and often have to compensate for unsafe adults such as parents or caregivers. While individuals with CPTSD find it hard to regulate high salience emotions because that part of them wasn’t really allowed to exist early in life, the adaptations and extensive pathways they’ve developed as a consequence of survival enables them to be some of the wisest and considerate people you’ll ever meet."
      I don't know what Daniel's childhood experiences were like, or if this applies to adulthood trauma, but I find it interesting. I have c-ptsd and I've been called an old soul.

    I do have borderline personality disorder, and when he started describing it, I started crying, cause it is exactly how I feel, and nobody seems to understand it...

      I just realized I have had it for years it makes me almost sick. I have been feeling a lot better lately since I started getting more sober. I feel like self awareness and wanting to be better and understanding helped me a lot.

    I would love to be this guy’s friend. His fortitude to know how to conceptualize and then articulate such a complex interplay between mind and body, and retain a semblance of self, is truly laudable. This has lifted me higher than any media in a long time🌞

    What an incredibly brave and insightful person! The fact that he is going through so much turmoil and is still wanting to share this interview to help someone else shows what an amazing individual he is! I can’t imagine the strength it must have taken to share this and I hope this helps to tear down some of the stigma surrounding mental illness. I wish you all the best Daniel

    "When you're feeling like someone is following you how can your family or friends HELP?" He looked like he'd been waiting decades to be asked that question. I'm convinced this guy is the most empathetic person I've ever come across. Bravo!!! Asking the right questions!!!!

      I (almost) have the same disorders as well. Schizoaffective, depression, borderline, PTSD and anxiety. I also used to be anorexic but I managed to get that one under control.
      I still have this delusion where I think bad things will happen to my family when I eat certain things, but according to my psychiatrist, it's a symptom of my schizophrenia, not my eating disorder.
