    Jace is the best community manager I can think of. And his videos give me pleasure every time because he has such an engaging and warm nature. I really hope that he always finds a way to live with his illness.

    "It was like eating food with no taste. That's what life was like. It was just a chore, and I was living day to day."
    I have always struggled to explain to my surroundings what depression feels like. Hearing Jace say this makes it so clear and easy to understand.
    Much love for him and everyone else struggling with mental health and kudos to Coffee Stain Studios for embracing Jace!

    I am also living with bipolar II disorder and also ADHD so I know the struggle for sure. And thank you Jace for being so brave and open with your struggles. I am also open with my diagnoses and that is so hard but also rewarding because all my friends know why I am having all these mood swings and times when I do isolate myself.

    I'm bipolar 2 myself and relate in every aspect, we truly were born in the wrong time for good bipolar 2 treatment. Everything is catered towards bipolar 1 and us 2's just get left in the dust as far as research is concerned.

    Random Satisfactory player here. Fascinating interview, thanks so much to everyone involved in creating it, and a huge thanks to Jace for opening up this way and giving such insight into something most of us never even really bother thinking about.

    I didn't even know you existed before this video. Now that I do and I see you asking "What will people think of me after they see this?" I think "Man, this guy is doing a whole lot better than I am. Also, I really wish him the best and hope that he can learn to love himself and realize that he's an awesome dude that the world is blessed to have as a part of it."
    I struggle myself and I was diagnosed years ago with Bipolar as well. It's not easy. Knowing you're not alone makes it a little bit easier.
    Thanks, Jace! Keep on being awesome, man.

    ❤️ Two years ago I fell into a hole that i felt like I never could climb out of, which scared me to the core. It took a couple of month but somehow I got out. It must be so hard to live with a disease like that for so long. Hope you find a way.

    A lot of the things you think about are things I think about. I wonder if I have bipolar. Or perhaps depression in general.
    You're a good guy, love watching your Satisfactory updates. You are the best community manager I've seen, and the only one that I know the name of. You should be proud.

    Muted!
    My wife has many issues like this, which some of it is caused by a bad thyroid. As a loving husband I want to help her or be that rescuing hero. She appreciates it, but i can see it annoy her. It’s hard on her and sometimes i feel so helpless to assist. I really wish there was a cure for this crap.
    Much love from everyone Jace!

    Hey! I don't know you, but after this video I kind of wish I did. A lot of what you describe I recognize from my mother. I really do hope you find something that works for you. You're awesome, don't let your brain tell you otherwise!

    It's so wierd to listen in it, it's like so many things i can relate. But as far as i know, my depression comes from ADHD not bipolar disorder. It just wierd how similar things can be from different mental disorders. I have friend who has on autistic spectrum, and she also can relate on so many things, while it is not the same. We even joked how ya know, for us it's a normal thing, you wake up, and feel like, i had enough, will just get in car, crush in first upcoming lorry. And then you just talk to yourself, nah, don't do it, think of poor driver that will suffer etc. And then you just carry on day, like nothing ever happened :D

    Jace, if you're reading this, and as an answer to your question "What would they think after they watch this video?" Here's what I'd say to you: You are an incredibly brave human being, a true warrior who is battling his inner demons every day. I would never think you were lying to us, regardless if it's a struggle for you to show up the way you do. Your story is such an inspiration. You're doing a wonderful job!

    Jace, I hope the doctors can find you a treatment that works for you. Keep trying. Also, get into acting, it helps. Write, sing, make videos. Any way you express who you are helps you to find more ways to be in balance.
