I enjoyed high school, but there were certain circumstances that were messed up. Things got hectic with mum and my brother who both have schizophrenia. It was near impossible to study. All I wanted to do was finish school but getting good grades was out of the question.

Not for me - but because someone you know, love or care for may need you, but be too afraid to ask for your help. Depression can make you feel (or feel like you want to be) invisible. We’re hiding, we’re trying, and we’re barely surviving - and we need to know we’re not alone.
By sharing my videos, you are helping me connect with those who desperately need a connection. The author Johann Hari named his best-selling book about depression ‘Lost Connections,’ because that’s what depression does - it isolates you. Every new connection brings new hope, and who knows? Sharing my story might be the thing that leads someone to ask for help or even saves their life. You could create that connection, just by clicking ‘share.’

I’m finding this three years later because my brother just recently got diagnosed with schizophrenia and this just hits so deeply. Thank you for sharing.
I watched all the videos in this series of yours just tonight and I must say, it is very bold, courageous and forms connections to those in darkened spaces....I'd say heroic would be the more accurate description for this body of work you have put together.
I myself have felt that deep dark grey aura that depression shrouds one in.
How you speak of the need to go back to go forward, likens to something someone I knew whom was experienced in both sides of the fence in mental health spoke of, his words to me when I was trying to pull him out during his own dark times were "sometimes you need to go into the abyss to get out"
One thing I also have come to notice, is grief and depression stand not in the same category, regardless of many similarities, each are their own complex entity that often get misconceived as being in the same boat.
Each must be unpacked respectively, painful processes which unfortunately are somewhat fundamentally required for soundness.
Mental diet is underrated IMO.
Like when one focuses on physical health, they tend to make conscious decisions about all that they ingest, I try to treat my mental diet with the same respect, anything on facebook that triggers a negative emotion in me I cut it unforgivingly, I don't watch the news, because negativity is what makes captivating stories in that field. I theorise that is predominantly the affects it has on our subconscious, and under the strain it's put through digesting this negative information, we then get matching emotions overflowing into our conscious mind that seem foreign, in which are actually are not, we welcomed them in.
We as humans and our natural thirst for knowledge are now in the cyberage, and I think we need to somewhat adapt to this, because the integration of the internet is a powerful thing and people are not often aware that there is so much more knowledge, that we need not quench our thirst at every opportunity, for this only increases the risk of drowning.
To be honest, for that self imposed rule, I probably would not have watched this series had I had no connection to yourself.
My praises to you for your commitment towards your mothers well-being and the strong sense of family orientation you have, this is something that is not as common as it should be.
So many great insights in one post 👌Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🙏
Omg..these episodes leave me hanging on the end of seat waiting for more!!

Your content deserves a lot more views than what these have. Keep grinding, glad i found your page!

Will do. Sorry for the delay mate nex ep is coming soon
Wheres Jonny don’t be sorry. One of your videos helped me get the balls to go to the doctors and talk to someone. Thankyou🙏
@@ruriwrd1348 Mate I'm so glad to hear that. Well done bro
Wheres Jonny thanks so much. The only bad thing is the waiting list to see proper help is 9 months. The things like your videos help me keep pushing forward🤘
Woah! You went through some deep stuff. I can’t imagine myself having to take on these roles as a child/young adult 😰😨😥
Killing it bro
Fellow Queenslander here 🙂 I had a rough trot as a kid with my brother who had schizophrenia and my mother was an aggressive alcoholic... basically my childhood was very traumatic and it sucked and I dropped out of school in year 9 because I was so far behind. That was quite some time ago now as I am 40 in a couple of months.. I’m healed now and living my best life..and I recently went back to academic study. Although in class I found problems around short term memory recall which was affecting me with learning, for example if the teacher asked me what she just said I would really struggle to remember it. I also found more than a few steps at a time with new information was all I could handle before forgetting bits of it which made learning difficult and slower than my classmates but I compensated well with a lot of note taking. I went and seen a specialist thinking I was having memory problems and after testings, I was told I have ADHD.. diagnosed that at nearly 40 was for me crazy to think. But the short term memory recall goes hand in hand with ADHD and I never realised. I also did not realise that you don’t have to be hyperactive. Anyways long story short.. I’m at university now and studying Psychology.. I’m allowing myself my education and academic journey that was robbed from me as a child.
Hi Jody, I commend your efforts mate well done getting into uni - what you're doing is awesome keep at it one step at a time and you will grasp what you deserve. Peace and love
Thanks, you too.
I honestly can't remember when a set of posts ( I just watched part one,which brought me here) that have made me cried so much I mean Jeez,I thought My family'd had it rough, But listening to you, I now know we had it reasonably easy, after Mum plucked up the courage to kick my abusive, cheating worthless arseholeof a father out; even though she had no family to fall back on, both of her parents being deceased by then, and having no siblings to call on.A;ll I wanted to do while listening to your heartfelt story was just put my arms around you and give you a big, hug! As I'm a;; cried out for now, I'll , leaved watching the rest until another day, Sorry sweetheart I may get in touch with you via Facebook 💜💜
I’m just curious as to why your family members didn’t seek treatment, meds to manage their issues?
