“WHAT AM I DOING TO MY CHANNEL “. you just made this the most HONEST channel I subscribe to....it takes a real man to share your struggle. God Bless you. Life is a roller coaster, just stay on the ride.
So true Tyler, there's light at the end of the tunnel, but often then it's back into the tunnel again... and as you say sometimes all you can do it just hang in there, hoping the light is on its way. You certainly aren't alone, I have friends struggling as you are, and I see how hard it can be. In the first world we have had it so good, for so long, it's easy to assume that happiness is our birthright. But of course history shows how brutal life can be... whether it's poverty, war or the neurotransmitters in our brain beating ourselves up! I'm glad you can still see what you need to do... just hanging in there. Remembering it will get better, even though that seems impossible. Focusing on the really important things like your family. And talking about it, not keeping it all inside. You are not alone!
Guys when I release videos talking about mental health, I get an enormous amount of messages, emails, and other communications regarding issues that are best discussed with a licensed therapist. As much as love this community and desire to help, I'm just a dude, struggling like a lot of us do, and have a hard enough time handling my own issues. I wish that I could help every person who sends a message individually, but it does get overwhelming and in the past has been pretty gnarly for my own mental well being to try and play therapist to hundreds of awesome folks when I have literally no idea what I'm doing in that area. If you need help, I encourage you to seek counseling from an awesome therapist, and see a psychiatrist if you think meds might help you function better. (Not just a doctor/ family practitioner, but a legit psychiatrist) It might take a few tries to get a therapist/psychiatrist who you jive with, but I promise, when you find the right therapist it makes a world of difference and can save your life. Also, insurance lately has been way better at helping with psychiatry and therapy. My current insurance covers almost the whole bill, and both psychiatry, meds, and therapy end up costing about $20-$30 a month and it has been 100% worth every penny. I still have a long way to go, but I have more hope now than I've had in a long time. Much love guys! Stay strong and know that you are not alone!
Your life is not your own! It belongs to God and those around you. You still owe a debt for it and what you do in life is a small payment. Thank you for your work.
I've been through the same type of thing and I have come to believe that if your body doesn't have every vitamin and minerals it needs it will function the best it can for a long time until it starts screaming at you that something is wrong. Once you have your nutrition covered then and only then is it mental. Then you can focus on a positive attitude. You have a great attitude so I'm thinking you're missing some kind of vitamin I'm mineral.
Hi ,this guy really helped me ,plz check him out.Douglas Bloch . ruclips.net/channel/UC5WoedYrJVKba21MZiGd1MQ Also whenever you are in that dark place. Just try to bear it for just one more hour,and one more day. I follow you from the other side of the world from india. I really like your videos. So plz keep holding on.
Jees Tyler - that is one of the best most powerful videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I have huge admiration for you for putting this out there, incredible stuff. I have no words that can help you I'm afraid other than to heed your own advice and hang in there as those around you need you....I need you! I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.....much love from across the pond - ride safe buddy.
I agree a gazzillion % - this is the core of the original YT - if it isn't being kept real I'll just go back to the other pablum TV I grew up on. Tyler - you are definitely not alone!
Have you heard about the Access Center here in St George? I hope you come see us there when you're in crisis and feeling suicidal. We take walk-ins 24/7, and you can meet with a crisis worker and psychiatrist, and we can keep you safe. Keep fighting the good fight, you have a lot of people who love and need you!
We hear you mate..... sometimes it feels as though you have two different brains... Keep reaching out... There are many hands reaching back... sending you good Karma from Melbourne Australia.
God bless you, eff the sponsors! I’d ride with you any day of the week. I am a nurse & FAR more people struggle with mental health than they will admit. Peace brother. I’m in western Colorado & here for you any time.
Actually Tyler this could be an opportunity, if motorcycle sponsors drop you get new ones from mental health groups, maybe even insurance or pharmaceutical companies. Spreading the gospel about how motorcycle riding in itself can improve ones mental health has to be a good thing for some other sponsor group, bringing more people to the world of ADV riding through this message is great. Progressive could do a commercial about the stress relieved on 2 wheels to help sell their mo insurance.
CapCityDC Oh my goodness! BRILLIANT! Yes, that is a wonderful idea. I am a nurse & NOT a fan of big pharmaceutical companies or the health system in the US but that is a GREAT idea. I am more likely to ride with someone who can face their demons versus someone who denies them & suffers in darkness.
I’m an unemotional normal guy but you opened my eyes to reality. I love your channel so you better hang in there and keep those videos coming. That’s an order from a brother who’s been following you right from the time you quit teaching and started riding. You’re a fighter and I’m sure this too shall pass. I live right across the globe, in India but riding with you is on my bucket list and you better not disappoint me.
I am someone who needed to hear this. ❤️ My husband shared this with me. You nailed it. It’s like you spoke from my own heart. Thank you for being so brave and sharing this for those of us who still struggle to find the words.stay strong. I also am diagnosed with severe depression and c-PTSD. I needed this so much right now again thank you. 🙏💜
I’ve been struggling with depression for 21 years from a work injury I have severe Tinnitus and mild seizures I am right there with you brother I don’t know if you’re religious or not but prayer to Jesus does help and therapy and medications I know exactly how you feel just keep hanging in there you are truly loved by us all most especially by Jesus keep your videos going they mean a lot to me and others God bless you love you brother
Think you für the testimony. Even these days many people don’t belobe there is a real, living, loving god out there, but Im also happy to Jesus for giving worth, hope, a solid Fundation to my live, still not neglecting the medical, therapy help as well.
Tinnitus is no joke and I have decided when it gets really bad that the tinnitus will be my reminder of how God saved my life and how I was given a second chance at life.
I feel your pain friend... became disabled 17ish year's ago and haven't been able to work. Not feeling like a man while raising 3 kid's and being in screaming pain can take you yo some dark place's when you're a workaholic, perfectionist..... from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND stop this foolishness!!
I never comment on videos. However I just want to reach out to you and let you know how powerful your honesty is. You, my friend, are making such a difference. I will be sharing this with people I care about. Thank you Tyler.
I notice you mentioned the video is not for people who are normal. A very close family member has gone through very difficult mental health issues for much of her life, and her therapist mentioned to her (and she shared with me) that having a chemical imbalance in the brain is no different than someone being born with type 1 diabetes, or any other illness. There's nothing abnormal than that. You are a great person who deserves to be here and has a family who loves you.
Chemical imbalance is caused by modern lifestyles. We are living too easily, no need to worry about dangers of nature, too disconnected. That's not to say people with depression and other mental health issues need to start living in a hunter gatherer tribe, but steps toward nature helps
@@daftnord4957 it is not that simple. research has shown that depression is universal human experience, in the sense that it is crosscultural and classless. spending time in nature certainly can help, but it is much more complex issue than attributing it to modern lifestyles.
daft nord interesting concept. If you are one who enjoys reading, give the book “Sapiens” a read. It talks about culture itself as a divergence from biological instinct that can be a cause of anxiety and depression. Not one culture over another, just its existence that stresses chemical responses in the brain. As all members of human society have culture, I believe that the resulting depression and thoughts of suicide are in fact normal responses. Not to say they are desirable effects or should be left untreated, but those suffering are “normal people.”
I would be sooo blessed to have a friend like you to share thoughts with and ride motorcycles. I think you are an awesome guy . It takes true personal courage to share your experiences and to keep pressing on. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 😊🙏🏻
Amen brother. It's brave to open yourself up to the world like this. Someone needed to hear this and I'm glad you had the strength to share. Love you man, hope I get the chance to meet you some day!
You're right, hearing this isn't comfortable Neither is sharing it Seeing someone suffer when you haven't a clue how to help, brings out avoidant behavior in people, which is sad All I can do is listen, and let you know that I care I'm glad you're still with us, I'm glad that you trust us enough to share this with us, and I fervently hope things get better for you
We need you, Tyler! Love you Mystic Rider! You have thousands of lights in that tunnel. Starting with your wife and kids and then all of us dorks who ride. I'm wearing one of your shirts today in your honor.
My wife struggles with a lot of the same feelings you do. I was watching this in the bed and it caught my wife's ear, she laid down next to me and listened, cried a little, and said that she really appreciated what you had to say and that she was worried about you. Stay true to who you are, doesn't matter what people think you are doing with YOUR channel. Much love
As a strange coincidence, I put on my Everide ADV shirt before I knew there was a video, so I guess God wanted me to watch. You said there'd be a moto overlay, but watching you was so much better, so much more powerful. It was hard to watch, honestly, but so compelling. Much Love to you.
Dude, I went through the same. No doctor nor medicine could cure my illness. Try one thing: RUNNING. Running is the best medicine for mental illness. Not biking, not walking, not tennis, not swimming, not any other sport. Running. You can start slow. Speed is not the goal. Distance is. Develop your running program and schedule.
Bro, for me it’s biking. We’re all different, but that’s what works for me. It’s always been that way, there have been seasons where I needed it more than others for sure. There’s definitely something about endurance sports 👌. Some times it really picks me up to ride with other people but usually it’s about hammering it out silently on my own.
I think in a lot of cases it's just getting out in the sunlight and exercising Sunlight is good for depression, and endurance exercise gives you time to open the mind and reflect in ways that you can't bring your day today life At one point I used to run everyday myself, and there was a lot of conversation going on while I was doing it
I agree! If I don’t run, I can’t seem to stay ahead of the “Twin Sisters” (depression and anxiety). Running keeps me ahead of the wave. Very hard to make yourself get up and go when the wave catches you. Just never give up, ever!!!!
Love is the answer brother! Mindfulness was the cure to my psychological emotional hardship or neurosis. You will find peace with time!! Trust the process, there are so many lessons in pain, so many gifts. This video is a gift for those who need to see it. Thank you!♥️
"I wouldn't want to go on a motorcycle tour with a crazy person". Welll, I don't know about that but would I go on a tour with a man who's shown the courage and integrity you've just put on very public display? In a bloody heartbeat. Strength and best wishes to you, Tyler. One day when this virus thing settles down I hope I'll have the privilege of riding with you in eveRide-land.
Since my girlfriend left me, when i was 28, i suffer from depression, i am 51 and things are not pretty, i´m glad you talk about it, i go to see a therapist again. People don´t understand that is a illness just like any other. You must realize that IS NOT your fault. It takes courage to talk open about these private issues, but you are helping people to search for therapy, and that is what a man should do. Congratulations.
30 Years ago I failed at my attempt to crash my bike at full highway speed. I don't know how but I only broke my leg. by chance I spent time in the hospital room with a man with bone cancer he was also a therapist. it saved my life and I got the help I needed. I don't know if he survived but THANK YOU... please if you need help get it, your loved ones will be thankful.
Tyler, thanks for the video and giving a voice to all of us who have our own mental health struggles. I am so grateful that mental health struggles have been able to come out of the closet and lose some of it’s negative stigma. Thank you for being a voice of hope and being open, vulnerable, and honest.
That took a lot of courage to put out there. Thank you. You are not alone, either. Stay strong and keep pushing through. It’s not easy, but you have a lot of supporters out here and I’ll bet this video gained you even more. Don’t give up!
Talking is a healthy way to cope with these issues. Thank you so very much for your words and sharing your pain. I hope you stick with seeing your Dr and continue to seek help. Never give up or give into these negative impulsive or thoughts. Peace brother
Powerful, deep, needed, and much appreciated. Thank you for this video and all you do. Know that when you send your voice out over the interweb the positive ripple effects make a difference.
Just the fact that you made this video proves that your a good person and your life is valuable. Its obvious that you want to help those that are struggling. Keep fighting man! Take it one day at a time! I'll pray for you. Thanks for sharing, these are things that need to be talked about.
We all have that little voice in their head that tells you, “this is great, this is fun, this is not fun, this is dangerous,” etc. For me depression was that voice lying to me, you’re no good, you don’t matter, etc. So just remember these depressing thoughts are lies. I hope you get better and I wish you all the best.
Oh, Tyler...you are SO VERY LOVED!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, continue to fight!!!!!!!! I watch your channel not for bikes, I don't have a bike or ever ridden, but I watch your channel for "YOU"!!!!!! I see such a SWEET, LOVING, CARING, GODLY man...how VALUED "YOU" are!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, for sharing such a deep, personal struggle!!!!!!! You are helping others with YOUR story!!!!!! YOU are a "BLESSING"!!!!!!!!! Love, hugs & prayers....🙇🏼♀🙏🏻💜🙇🏼♀🙏🏻💙🙇🏼♀🙏🏻❤🙇🏼♀🙏🏻
Tyler, mate, please don’t heed the Demons, don’t let them take you, defy them, shout them down. I used to be a Cop, I’ve seen way too many good people taken too early, Mental illness is an illness, it can strike anyone no matter who or where they are. But you already know that. Don’t lose sight of all the things that are precious to you. Don’t let all those that love you have to suffer by letting the Demons win mate, keep fighting - even when you feel that you have nothing left inside you, dig deeper than you ever believed that you could and fight through it. I’m at your side mate, even though I’m half a world away in Australia. To ride with you someday would be a pleasure and a privilege mate. Take care, Pat
My mentor, riding coach, mechanic, best friend, but his best title to me was dad, committed suicide 10 yr 9 months ago. He is one of the 22, Vietnam veteran and one hell of a good dude. He taught me how to ride, and we raced enduro, hare scramble and motocross together. We rode miles and miles of west Texas trails together. We were actually in a enduro race together, about 59 miles in, when the moment hit that we both realized that I was finally a faster rider. He pulled over, with pride in his eyes and told me to go ahead, knowing we were behind the race schedule. That is a moment I’ll never forget, and believe me there are plenty of people that have a strange but similar memory with you. There isn’t a day that goes by that he isn’t in my thoughts. By watching your video, I can tell you know there are people that care for you, just hold on to that in the dark times. This is a quote that a military buddy once told me when I was in a dark place. “Suicide doesn’t end your pain, it only passes it to your loved ones.” I wear this thought just under my skin everyday. Personally, I’d love to ride with you! Me and the wife are currently full-timing in a toy hauler and will be in Heber City till the end of October with no destination next. I’ll bring the Tequila! ; IGY6 (please look this up if you don’t know). From a perfect stranger, know you matter and you’re loved! Brandon
Brandon Key i’m kind of in the same boat as Tyler, but I love this comment because my father is my best friend he used to take me for rides around the backfield on his bike when I was just a little guy! I hang on because he still alive and he’s my best friend! I lost my mom 3 1/2 years ago I look to him for advice every day still. I’m 53 and he’s 78 He’s not doing that well but he still the strongest man I know. And I can’t bear to tell him what goes through my mind on a daily basis!
@@brettkovak6344 if you share those darker thoughts with a loved one, most time's they can add some light to those dark thoughts...my mother is all I have as immediate family nearby and my loving wife keeps me going. The thought of my kid's feeling the pain that I would cause them by the very selfish act of killing myself is another thing that can stop someone from going through with IT... stay here my friend, people help each other, and love each other through the slop....
Bill Allen I took today off of work I’m self-employed so I can do that. Thank you for your kind words, I spent all day by the river thinking about everything and decided I will never go that route! When you feel like you’re at the bottom the only way you can go is up from there! It started out as a really bad day today but turned out to be very good!
That looked like a very difficult video to make, But you are right. It needs to be said. THis sort of thing needs to be talked about. The simple act of talking about mental health, helps people. Thank you for sharing your story. You are helping people. And i hope that you continue on talking, and seeking the help you need.
Dude that was so brave!,it must be very hard speak from the heart like that ... this was one of my favorite channels, now is my favorite. keep pushing foward. #NotAlone
I almost didnt watch this video to be honest. I am so glad that I did. You being so open with your struggles with mental health is inspiring. Dont ever stop, you are amazing. Also, "What am l doing to my channel?" This is exactly what you need to be doing. You are truly inspiring!
Raw and honest, thanks for sharing with viewers. I am sending this to friends who i love and will hear your words. ADV is awesome but this is so much more important than ride videos or glove reviews. Stay strong. Thank you.
Thank you, Tyler. You are brave and provide an example of strength in the face of an overwhelming challenge. Your words have and will help others struggling. Thank you
Tyler, I just watched your vid. It's very interesting to hear how your mind thinks suicide is the answer but your heart tells you life is precious. I really hope you can get a handle on this . What helps me is knowing that it's not all about me, it's about those around me and my job is to help them on their path through this life.
Hey Tyler, I'm glad you're you, and I'm glad you're doing what you do buddy. You're taking care of yourself, and that's the hardest step. Much luv friend.
Well done respect to you! It takes balls to open up to the world about mental health. Such a huge issue! I find getting out on the bike and exploring nature puts alot of things in perspective .keep up the good work!
I tell everyone willing to listen that I’m on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety meds......not for sympathy, but because I want others that might be too embarrassed to admit they are having issues to understand it’s more prevalent than they might know. If the body chemistry is off, you can’t fight it. It’s like trying to talk yourself out of being blotto-drunk. Doesn’t matter what you say to yourself....you’ll still be wasted. There's interesting studies being done on Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and their ability to reset the brain chemistry for extended periods of time. I've considered "taking a trip", even though I don't support illicit drug use. I'm not a cop or soldier either but the PTSD aspect is real for me. I've never been suicidal but the it's agony sometimes. Hang in there!!
I think one of my favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "the masses of men live lives of quiet desperation". your not crazy, your human. We all feel the despair at some point in our lives, some of us more than others. In so far as booking a trip with the 'Crazy guy", I think I would rather travel with him than the mindless automaton looking to make a buck! Brave post! Good luck. There are people out there whom you've never met that care about you and wish you the best. One day at a time!!!
As someone who comes from a family with mental health issues I can only say Bravo to you Tyler for speaking up and being honest about your issues. So many people know they have issues yet deny it when people reach out to them, so good on you for taking ownership. Hang in there brother, you are loved and valued by more people than you will ever know. Love and prayers for you from Phil & Little Red Rooster in Australia.
You said it Tyler, sometimes it’s just “Hang On” the wheel of life keeps turning, have faith in that. Better times will come yes and we will enjoy them, but we know the wheel will turn back to darker times, and so we try to learn how to endure them Best wishes
Tyler... I heard every word you said. You are not alone. We're here when you need us. I am thankful for all of what you've done for me. I appreciate you.
Its brave of you to open up and be vulnerable like that, my man. We got you. And to whoever is struggling out there, I hope these words bring you some joy. You're awesome and lots of people love and care about you. And they deserve for you to be in their lives and not to lose you. Fight for yourself, but for them too, just as hard! Much love to everyone! You got this! Life is a lot more beautiful with you around!
Tyler, you're an inspiration in so many ways brother. Despite having never met you - through this and your other videos I feel as though you're someone I've known a long time. Hell, you inspired me to begin riding a bit over a year ago. Stay strong and believe in what you say - because you truly are not alone and the same can be said for so many others. Look forward to meeting you one of these days on a rally. Cheers.
To have the courage to step outside of yourself, to offer guidance to others suffering speaks volumes to what a compassionate person you are...and how important it is for you to be here! Thank you! ❤️
Tyler, you are the man. Don't know you personally but Love ya brother. Dual sport rider to and God loves all of us. You hang in there! Happy thoughts and want to ride with you one day out there.
Thank you for doing this video! I think one thing that can help PTSD is leaving behind the anger towards who or what caused the trauma.Not replaying it over and over in your head. In other words forgiveness. I'm not saying meds and counselling are not important. Please take this as a fan of yours honestly trying to help.
Thanks for posting this. I sure you've helped someone today. I think mental health is a struggle for more people than we realise. Seeking help and sharing your struggle with those around you is hard but Im happy youre doing it. Dont let the media get to you, the world is on fire, but its always been that way. much love and brap
"No matter how good your life may appear, you don't know whose struggling" That was a very powerful statement and it applies to many people. I have a lot of respect for you making this video. There is no way this was easy to post. Congrats for having the courage to do it
Takes a lot to come clean on your personal problems, remember take 1 minute then 1 hour then 1 day at a time. I don't suffer from your situation but I will say that you are an inspiration to me and so many! Thanks for the share and I hope to see you and your videos for as long as I can be on this planet... When I feel down and unhappy I goto my moto garage and put on eveRide videos to bring me back. Thank you for what you do and so sorry you struggle with this, hang in there sir for yourself and family you will win the battle in your mind if anyone can do it it's you.......
Thank you for sharing. This was one of the most powerful videos I have watched on RUclips mainly because you speak from the heart and lay it all bare. It was just the video I needed because I understand the road you travel, as I ride it too. Thank you and take care.
Hey everide you probably wont see this but we are all here for you and we all love you and your channel brings us all together thank you for what you do :)
keep getting the message out there. You are doing a good thing. I lost a good work friend to suicide. if he got help he would still be with us today...... I got help after see his demise. Its amazing how much meds and therapy can help. I can experience joy now!!
I have occasionally watched a random video on your channel, but never bothered to subscribe. The amount of courage and unflinching honesty you just displayed has made me a follower for life. If a sponsor can't appreciate that, fire them and get another one! Keep seeking the light brother, it's always waiting there right around the darkest corner.
Thanks for sharing! You're not alone. I'm right there with you and share a lot of your same thoughts. Stay strong and hang in there. Much love to ya brother!
Hey brother, thanks for putting this out there and sharing your experiences. You're doing it right getting help and talking about it. You're also giving hope to your fellow humans who are facing rough times. All the best!!
How brave you are to share your story! Folks like you are the hero’s on the planet who share their troubled path to help others. Please know there is nothing more important than helping others and you need to be here to do that! Thank you for being YOU and sharing!
Praying for you brother...thank you for being open..it shows you have the character of a champion..love your channel and will continue to ..FOREVERIDE..
Thank you - thank you - thank you!!! Putting yourself out there like this is one of the bravest things a person can do! You made a huge difference! My father took his life when I was 17 and I have never felt the same since..... I have also battled with depression on and off and hearing/watching you (as hard as it was) was immensely helpful - I gained some great new insights today! You have made a difference - thank you. FYI - it was always on my wish list to come out and ride with you - but now I want to more than ever!! Thank you - thank you - thank you!!!
"Most important message is show love and be grateful"... - I agree! We all need to try to spread more love. Some brains operate like a brand new motorcycle; and others need a little TLC, elbow grease, tuning, and hours in the garage just to keep them running! Let your brain be like a well loved, trusty KLR or DR. It may of been dropped and beaten, but it still gets you out there! You are tried and true, and good. Awesome video Tyler! Thanks for being so brave.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It takes so much courage to speak out about this and show how vulnerable we are are as human beings. As you said, you're not alone, I'm sure you will overcome this with the kind and loving help of your family and friends. My wife has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and I know how difficult it is for us to understand all the pain and sadness our beloved ones are going through, but it is possible to overcome those feelings. The love for your family is a great anchor to start from. Just stay on the ride!! Cheers from Peru.
Thank you. With your videos you have helped more than you can possibly imagine with my depression and ptsd. When you are out there riding in the desert and you think you're alone remember that I and I'm sure alot of others are right there with you,and know that myself and others would not be alive except for you.
I can't imagine how hard that was for you. I dealt with similar issues in my late teens through to my mid 30s, but not nearly as severe, and dealing with that was very difficult. I was one of those who self medicated with drugs and alcohol. Hang in there Tyler, hope that light at the end of the tunnel comes your way soon.... Prayers your direction.
Tyler - what can I say, apart from we love you man, we watch everything you do here from Australia, you've inspired all of us to ride and taught us so much. I know you're a man of faith, as am I, my prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for doing what you did - you are right, people needed to hear it and you aren't alone. Thanks for the massive courage it took to make that video, thanks for blessing us all with your honesty.
You have not been weird lately, you have been woke! You helped me deal my issues and also take a brake from social media. I can't believe the negative effect it was having on me and the people around me. I recently lost an old friend to suicide. It takes balls to be open and real about what's really going on in your skull. You are the man bro. Especially suffering personally yet still supporting your Son with his struggles. Much respect brother. Agape ♥️
Man you have the answer at the end of your video, you are not alone, your family needs you. You are a successful RUclipsr, you have a large audience, and you can do whatever you want with your channel, I've listened to your entire video and i see true struggle, life is very challenging especially nowadays with all those incertenties. I do have doubts, fears and concerns about our future, especially as a father myself. But as you said life is beautiful so you have to go on with it. And surf that wave for the good and the bad that it will bring. Personally I'm against medications, it mess with your body even more. The fact that you talked openly about it on your channel is a good sign. You are going to get through this ! For the best ! Cheers mate !
What a brave video to post. Not only for the obvious, but also to have the guts to follow through without suicide as a symbol of strength. Imagine the ripple effect if you did. (Guilting you to life, but hey whatever works) love you brother
I have no words for the pain you feel. I do know life is a hell of a struggle. Life is a fight . I need you to fight for it! Those bad days will try to make you give up. I need you to look at your family and friends and fight for the good days. You bring a lot of people joy and you need to continue that. Always think about the fight! The will to live and love!
The more we are open about these issues, the less we will lose people. Thank you for sharing Tyler, keep working with your therapist, YOU are not alone, we are with you, we hear you, and who says a motorbike channel can't make a difference to things that aren't based on bikes. God bless you.
Powerful words bud , amazing that you are brave enough to talk about and be so honest about what you're going through. I've followed you from the beginning .Keep it up 💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're one of the best guys I know and I have never met you. I respect your vulnerability (read: courageousness) and am glad you are sharing this. You said it right, we all have people in our lives that struggling in similar ways to you and need to hear about what it is like so we can better support those folks. So thanks again for sharing your story and struggles. Love you man!
I'm in the UK just dropped on your video ...... WOW I'm feeling the same I'm in a situation that isnt going good . I'm up n down have been for years , I'm back on meds talking with everyone who can see my mind . But f**kin suicidal thoughts are playing me up overthinking overtaking my mind . But listening to you I'm going to battle on

“WHAT AM I DOING TO MY CHANNEL “. you just made this the most HONEST channel I subscribe to....it takes a real man to share your struggle. God Bless you. Life is a roller coaster, just stay on the ride.
So true Tyler, there's light at the end of the tunnel, but often then it's back into the tunnel again... and as you say sometimes all you can do it just hang in there, hoping the light is on its way. You certainly aren't alone, I have friends struggling as you are, and I see how hard it can be. In the first world we have had it so good, for so long, it's easy to assume that happiness is our birthright. But of course history shows how brutal life can be... whether it's poverty, war or the neurotransmitters in our brain beating ourselves up! I'm glad you can still see what you need to do... just hanging in there. Remembering it will get better, even though that seems impossible. Focusing on the really important things like your family. And talking about it, not keeping it all inside. You are not alone!
Guys when I release videos talking about mental health, I get an enormous amount of messages, emails, and other communications regarding issues that are best discussed with a licensed therapist. As much as love this community and desire to help, I'm just a dude, struggling like a lot of us do, and have a hard enough time handling my own issues. I wish that I could help every person who sends a message individually, but it does get overwhelming and in the past has been pretty gnarly for my own mental well being to try and play therapist to hundreds of awesome folks when I have literally no idea what I'm doing in that area. If you need help, I encourage you to seek counseling from an awesome therapist, and see a psychiatrist if you think meds might help you function better. (Not just a doctor/ family practitioner, but a legit psychiatrist) It might take a few tries to get a therapist/psychiatrist who you jive with, but I promise, when you find the right therapist it makes a world of difference and can save your life. Also, insurance lately has been way better at helping with psychiatry and therapy. My current insurance covers almost the whole bill, and both psychiatry, meds, and therapy end up costing about $20-$30 a month and it has been 100% worth every penny. I still have a long way to go, but I have more hope now than I've had in a long time. Much love guys! Stay strong and know that you are not alone!
Your life is not your own! It belongs to God and those around you. You still owe a debt for it and what you do in life is a small payment. Thank you for your work.
Thank you!
I don't know if you're a believer but Satan came to kill steal and destroy. Don't let him take your future.
I'm praying for you buddy hang in there.
I've been through the same type of thing and I have come to believe that if your body doesn't have every vitamin and minerals it needs it will function the best it can for a long time until it starts screaming at you that something is wrong. Once you have your nutrition covered then and only then is it mental. Then you can focus on a positive attitude. You have a great attitude so I'm thinking you're missing some kind of vitamin I'm mineral.
Hi ,this guy really helped me ,plz check him out.Douglas Bloch . ruclips.net/channel/UC5WoedYrJVKba21MZiGd1MQ
Also whenever you are in that dark place. Just try to bear it for just one more hour,and one more day. I follow you from the other side of the world from india. I really like your videos. So plz keep holding on.
Jees Tyler - that is one of the best most powerful videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I have huge admiration for you for putting this out there, incredible stuff. I have no words that can help you I'm afraid other than to heed your own advice and hang in there as those around you need you....I need you! I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.....much love from across the pond - ride safe buddy.
What are you “doing with your channel?” Exactly what you are supposed to brother.
Exactly, it's your channel Tyler, no rules unless you make them or decide to let others control what you do. Keep it coming as you decide.
Brother. You not alone. Many of us struggle with variations of the same.
I love your openness and bravery, thank you for sharing. It’s not something I can begin to talk about, but thanks for helping.
Amen
I agree a gazzillion % - this is the core of the original YT - if it isn't being kept real I'll just go back to the other pablum TV I grew up on. Tyler - you are definitely not alone!
I have fought those same demons like my whole life 63years. I dont know how Im still here. Keep on keepin on
Have you heard about the Access Center here in St George? I hope you come see us there when you're in crisis and feeling suicidal. We take walk-ins 24/7, and you can meet with a crisis worker and psychiatrist, and we can keep you safe. Keep fighting the good fight, you have a lot of people who love and need you!
I have.
Awesome places highly recommended .
You need to know that you're not alone man. Love from Australia mate cheers.
Great see another Aussie showing support. Cheers from the central west nsw.
And from Perth in the Wild West, stay strong Tyler!!!
Thank you for speaking up, another Australian supporter. #speakupseekhelp
We hear you mate..... sometimes it feels as though you have two different brains... Keep reaching out... There are many hands reaching back... sending you good Karma from Melbourne Australia.
From Newcastle NSW here, good to see the Aussies sharing the love.
God bless you, eff the sponsors! I’d ride with you any day of the week. I am a nurse & FAR more people struggle with mental health than they will admit. Peace brother. I’m in western Colorado & here for you any time.
Actually Tyler this could be an opportunity, if motorcycle sponsors drop you get new ones from mental health groups, maybe even insurance or pharmaceutical companies. Spreading the gospel about how motorcycle riding in itself can improve ones mental health has to be a good thing for some other sponsor group, bringing more people to the world of ADV riding through this message is great. Progressive could do a commercial about the stress relieved on 2 wheels to help sell their mo insurance.
CapCityDC Oh my goodness! BRILLIANT! Yes, that is a wonderful idea. I am a nurse & NOT a fan of big pharmaceutical companies or the health system in the US but that is a GREAT idea. I am more likely to ride with someone who can face their demons versus someone who denies them & suffers in darkness.
I’m an unemotional normal guy but you opened my eyes to reality. I love your channel so you better hang in there and keep those videos coming. That’s an order from a brother who’s been following you right from the time you quit teaching and started riding. You’re a fighter and I’m sure this too shall pass. I live right across the globe, in India but riding with you is on my bucket list and you better not disappoint me.
I am someone who needed to hear this. ❤️ My husband shared this with me. You nailed it. It’s like you spoke from my own heart. Thank you for being so brave and sharing this for those of us who still struggle to find the words.stay strong. I also am diagnosed with severe depression and c-PTSD. I needed this so much right now again thank you. 🙏💜
I’ve been struggling with depression for 21 years from a work injury I have severe Tinnitus and mild seizures I am right there with you brother I don’t know if you’re religious or not but prayer to Jesus does help and therapy and medications I know exactly how you feel just keep hanging in there you are truly loved by us all most especially by Jesus keep your videos going they mean a lot to me and others God bless you love you brother
Think you für the testimony. Even these days many people don’t belobe there is a real, living, loving god out there, but Im also happy to Jesus for giving worth, hope, a solid Fundation to my live, still not neglecting the medical, therapy help as well.
Tinnitus is no joke and I have decided when it gets really bad that the tinnitus will be my reminder of how God saved my life and how I was given a second chance at life.
I feel your pain friend... became disabled 17ish year's ago and haven't been able to work. Not feeling like a man while raising 3 kid's and being in screaming pain can take you yo some dark place's when you're a workaholic, perfectionist..... from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND stop this foolishness!!
I never comment on videos. However I just want to reach out to you and let you know how powerful your honesty is. You, my friend, are making such a difference. I will be sharing this with people I care about. Thank you Tyler.
I notice you mentioned the video is not for people who are normal. A very close family member has gone through very difficult mental health issues for much of her life, and her therapist mentioned to her (and she shared with me) that having a chemical imbalance in the brain is no different than someone being born with type 1 diabetes, or any other illness. There's nothing abnormal than that. You are a great person who deserves to be here and has a family who loves you.
Chemical imbalance is caused by modern lifestyles. We are living too easily, no need to worry about dangers of nature, too disconnected. That's not to say people with depression and other mental health issues need to start living in a hunter gatherer tribe, but steps toward nature helps
@@daftnord4957 it is not that simple. research has shown that depression is universal human experience, in the sense that it is crosscultural and classless. spending time in nature certainly can help, but it is much more complex issue than attributing it to modern lifestyles.
daft nord interesting concept. If you are one who enjoys reading, give the book “Sapiens” a read. It talks about culture itself as a divergence from biological instinct that can be a cause of anxiety and depression. Not one culture over another, just its existence that stresses chemical responses in the brain. As all members of human society have culture, I believe that the resulting depression and thoughts of suicide are in fact normal responses. Not to say they are desirable effects or should be left untreated, but those suffering are “normal people.”
I would be sooo blessed to have a friend like you to share thoughts with and ride motorcycles. I think you are an awesome guy . It takes true personal courage to share your experiences and to keep pressing on. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 😊🙏🏻
It's all too easy to feel like we are alone when it comes to these issues.
I needed to hear this now more than you could ever know.
Thanks.
Amen brother. It's brave to open yourself up to the world like this. Someone needed to hear this and I'm glad you had the strength to share. Love you man, hope I get the chance to meet you some day!
You're right, hearing this isn't comfortable
Neither is sharing it
Seeing someone suffer when you haven't a clue how to help, brings out avoidant behavior in people, which is sad
All I can do is listen, and let you know that I care
I'm glad you're still with us, I'm glad that you trust us enough to share this with us, and I fervently hope things get better for you
We need you, Tyler! Love you Mystic Rider! You have thousands of lights in that tunnel. Starting with your wife and kids and then all of us dorks who ride. I'm wearing one of your shirts today in your honor.
Be strong friend, you are not alone, greetings from Bolivia...you are a really great rider and a great person
My wife struggles with a lot of the same feelings you do. I was watching this in the bed and it caught my wife's ear, she laid down next to me and listened, cried a little, and said that she really appreciated what you had to say and that she was worried about you. Stay true to who you are, doesn't matter what people think you are doing with YOUR channel. Much love
As a strange coincidence, I put on my Everide ADV shirt before I knew there was a video, so I guess God wanted me to watch. You said there'd be a moto overlay, but watching you was so much better, so much more powerful. It was hard to watch, honestly, but so compelling. Much Love to you.
Dude, I went through the same. No doctor nor medicine could cure my illness. Try one thing: RUNNING. Running is the best medicine for mental illness. Not biking, not walking, not tennis, not swimming, not any other sport. Running. You can start slow. Speed is not the goal. Distance is. Develop your running program and schedule.
Bro, for me it’s biking. We’re all different, but that’s what works for me. It’s always been that way, there have been seasons where I needed it more than others for sure. There’s definitely something about endurance sports 👌. Some times it really picks me up to ride with other people but usually it’s about hammering it out silently on my own.
glad you found your way. It is not mine as i cannot run (knees). We are all different, we are all great. ;-)
I think in a lot of cases it's just getting out in the sunlight and exercising
Sunlight is good for depression, and endurance exercise gives you time to open the mind and reflect in ways that you can't bring your day today life
At one point I used to run everyday myself, and there was a lot of conversation going on while I was doing it
I agree! If I don’t run, I can’t seem to stay ahead of the “Twin Sisters” (depression and anxiety). Running keeps me ahead of the wave. Very hard to make yourself get up and go when the wave catches you. Just never give up, ever!!!!
My motorcycle is my therapy, I’m way past running now!
Love is the answer brother! Mindfulness was the cure to my psychological emotional hardship or neurosis. You will find peace with time!! Trust the process, there are so many lessons in pain, so many gifts. This video is a gift for those who need to see it. Thank you!♥️
"I wouldn't want to go on a motorcycle tour with a crazy person". Welll, I don't know about that but would I go on a tour with a man who's shown the courage and integrity you've just put on very public display? In a bloody heartbeat. Strength and best wishes to you, Tyler. One day when this virus thing settles down I hope I'll have the privilege of riding with you in eveRide-land.
Since my girlfriend left me, when i was 28, i suffer from depression, i am 51 and things are not pretty, i´m glad you talk about it, i go to see a therapist again. People don´t understand that is a illness just like any other. You must realize that IS NOT your fault.
It takes courage to talk open about these private issues, but you are helping people to search for therapy, and that is what a man should do.
Congratulations.
30 Years ago I failed at my attempt to crash my bike at full highway speed. I don't know how but I only broke my leg. by chance I spent time in the hospital room with a man with bone cancer he was also a therapist. it saved my life and I got the help I needed. I don't know if he survived but THANK YOU... please if you need help get it, your loved ones will be thankful.
Tyler, thanks for the video and giving a voice to all of us who have our own mental health struggles. I am so grateful that mental health struggles have been able to come out of the closet and lose some of it’s negative stigma. Thank you for being a voice of hope and being open, vulnerable, and honest.
That was heavy... Wish I had the answers, my friend! Just know that I listened...
You displayed the courage of a thousand heros to post this video. God bless you, you can get through this. Looking forward to more eveRide!
Thank you Tyler. You are definitely not alone. And it helps a great deal to know that neither am I. Much love brother.
That took a lot of courage to put out there. Thank you. You are not alone, either. Stay strong and keep pushing through. It’s not easy, but you have a lot of supporters out here and I’ll bet this video gained you even more. Don’t give up!
Talking is a healthy way to cope with these issues. Thank you so very much for your words and sharing your pain. I hope you stick with seeing your Dr and continue to seek help.
Never give up or give into these negative impulsive or thoughts.
Peace brother
Powerful, deep, needed, and much appreciated. Thank you for this video and all you do. Know that when you send your voice out over the interweb the positive ripple effects make a difference.
Just the fact that you made this video proves that your a good person and your life is valuable. Its obvious that you want to help those that are struggling. Keep fighting man! Take it one day at a time! I'll pray for you. Thanks for sharing, these are things that need to be talked about.
We all have that little voice in their head that tells you, “this is great, this is fun, this is not fun, this is dangerous,” etc. For me depression was that voice lying to me, you’re no good, you don’t matter, etc. So just remember these depressing thoughts are lies. I hope you get better and I wish you all the best.
It's a misnomer that ptsd is just military thing. There's probably more people who suffer from ptsd and complex ptsd, who never served at all.
Oh, Tyler...you are SO VERY LOVED!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, continue to fight!!!!!!!! I watch your channel not for bikes, I don't have a bike or ever ridden, but I watch your channel for "YOU"!!!!!! I see such a SWEET, LOVING, CARING, GODLY man...how VALUED "YOU" are!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, for sharing such a deep, personal struggle!!!!!!! You are helping others with YOUR story!!!!!! YOU are a "BLESSING"!!!!!!!!! Love, hugs & prayers....🙇🏼♀🙏🏻💜🙇🏼♀🙏🏻💙🙇🏼♀🙏🏻❤🙇🏼♀🙏🏻
Tyler, mate, please don’t heed the Demons, don’t let them take you, defy them, shout them down. I used to be a Cop, I’ve seen way too many good people taken too early, Mental illness is an illness, it can strike anyone no matter who or where they are. But you already know that. Don’t lose sight of all the things that are precious to you. Don’t let all those that love you have to suffer by letting the Demons win mate, keep fighting - even when you feel that you have nothing left inside you, dig deeper than you ever believed that you could and fight through it. I’m at your side mate, even though I’m half a world away in Australia. To ride with you someday would be a pleasure and a privilege mate. Take care, Pat
My Father took his life and he had written burden in his notebook. He wasn't a burden and he could be with me in Nicaragua on the beach with me now.
Dale. so sorry for you. what a loss.
My mentor, riding coach, mechanic, best friend, but his best title to me was dad, committed suicide 10 yr 9 months ago. He is one of the 22, Vietnam veteran and one hell of a good dude. He taught me how to ride, and we raced enduro, hare scramble and motocross together. We rode miles and miles of west Texas trails together. We were actually in a enduro race together, about 59 miles in, when the moment hit that we both realized that I was finally a faster rider. He pulled over, with pride in his eyes and told me to go ahead, knowing we were behind the race schedule. That is a moment I’ll never forget, and believe me there are plenty of people that have a strange but similar memory with you. There isn’t a day that goes by that he isn’t in my thoughts. By watching your video, I can tell you know there are people that care for you, just hold on to that in the dark times.
This is a quote that a military buddy once told me when I was in a dark place. “Suicide doesn’t end your pain, it only passes it to your loved ones.” I wear this thought just under my skin everyday.
Personally, I’d love to ride with you! Me and the wife are currently full-timing in a toy hauler and will be in Heber City till the end of October with no destination next. I’ll bring the Tequila!
; IGY6 (please look this up if you don’t know). From a perfect stranger, know you matter and you’re loved!
Brandon
Well said
You're a good man..
Brandon Key i’m kind of in the same boat as Tyler, but I love this comment because my father is my best friend he used to take me for rides around the backfield on his bike when I was just a little guy! I hang on because he still alive and he’s my best friend! I lost my mom 3 1/2 years ago I look to him for advice every day still. I’m 53 and he’s 78 He’s not doing that well but he still the strongest man I know. And I can’t bear to tell him what goes through my mind on a daily basis!
@@brettkovak6344 if you share those darker thoughts with a loved one, most time's they can add some light to those dark thoughts...my mother is all I have as immediate family nearby and my loving wife keeps me going. The thought of my kid's feeling the pain that I would cause them by the very selfish act of killing myself is another thing that can stop someone from going through with IT... stay here my friend, people help each other, and love each other through the slop....
Bill Allen I took today off of work I’m self-employed so I can do that. Thank you for your kind words, I spent all day by the river thinking about everything and decided I will never go that route! When you feel like you’re at the bottom the only way you can go is up from there! It started out as a really bad day today but turned out to be very good!
That looked like a very difficult video to make, But you are right. It needs to be said. THis sort of thing needs to be talked about. The simple act of talking about mental health, helps people.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are helping people. And i hope that you continue on talking, and seeking the help you need.
Dude that was so brave!,it must be very hard speak from the heart like that ... this was one of my favorite channels, now is my favorite.
keep pushing foward. #NotAlone
I almost didnt watch this video to be honest. I am so glad that I did. You being so open with your struggles with mental health is inspiring. Dont ever stop, you are amazing. Also, "What am l doing to my channel?" This is exactly what you need to be doing. You are truly inspiring!
Raw and honest, thanks for sharing with viewers. I am sending this to friends who i love and will hear your words. ADV is awesome but this is so much more important than ride videos or glove reviews. Stay strong. Thank you.
Thank you, Tyler. You are brave and provide an example of strength in the face of an overwhelming challenge. Your words have and will help others struggling. Thank you
18:37 says it all. Your Family Needs You!
any sponsor who is not in support of real content like this is not worth having. Good for you for sharing.
Tyler, I just watched your vid.
It's very interesting to hear how your mind thinks suicide is the answer but your heart tells you life is precious.
I really hope you can get a handle on this .
What helps me is knowing that it's not all about me, it's about those around me and my job is to help them on their path through this life.
i am struggling, but guys like you make me able to give it a place..... anxiety and panic attacks are in my life and i know i am not alone.
Hey Tyler, I'm glad you're you, and I'm glad you're doing what you do buddy. You're taking care of yourself, and that's the hardest step. Much luv friend.
Well done respect to you! It takes balls to open up to the world about mental health. Such a huge issue! I find getting out on the bike and exploring nature puts alot of things in perspective .keep up the good work!
I tell everyone willing to listen that I’m on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety meds......not for sympathy, but because I want others that might be too embarrassed to admit they are having issues to understand it’s more prevalent than they might know. If the body chemistry is off, you can’t fight it. It’s like trying to talk yourself out of being blotto-drunk. Doesn’t matter what you say to yourself....you’ll still be wasted. There's interesting studies being done on Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and their ability to reset the brain chemistry for extended periods of time. I've considered "taking a trip", even though I don't support illicit drug use. I'm not a cop or soldier either but the PTSD aspect is real for me. I've never been suicidal but the it's agony sometimes. Hang in there!!
Thanks for the video Tyler. In more ways than one, I'm right there with you. Hang on friend.
I think one of my favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "the masses of men live lives of quiet desperation". your not crazy, your human. We all feel the despair at some point in our lives, some of us more than others. In so far as booking a trip with the 'Crazy guy", I think I would rather travel with him than the mindless automaton looking to make a buck! Brave post! Good luck. There are people out there whom you've never met that care about you and wish you the best. One day at a time!!!
As someone who comes from a family with mental health issues I can only say Bravo to you Tyler for speaking up and being honest about your issues. So many people know they have issues yet deny it when people reach out to them, so good on you for taking ownership. Hang in there brother, you are loved and valued by more people than you will ever know. Love and prayers for you from Phil & Little Red Rooster in Australia.
You said it Tyler, sometimes it’s just “Hang On” the wheel of life keeps turning, have faith in that. Better times will come yes and we will enjoy them, but we know the wheel will turn back to darker times, and so we try to learn how to endure them
Best wishes
Tyler... I heard every word you said. You are not alone. We're here when you need us. I am thankful for all of what you've done for me. I appreciate you.
With the year we've been having, I really needed this, and today specifically. Thank you.
Its brave of you to open up and be vulnerable like that, my man. We got you.
And to whoever is struggling out there, I hope these words bring you some joy. You're awesome and lots of people love and care about you. And they deserve for you to be in their lives and not to lose you. Fight for yourself, but for them too, just as hard! Much love to everyone! You got this! Life is a lot more beautiful with you around!
Tyler, you're an inspiration in so many ways brother. Despite having never met you - through this and your other videos I feel as though you're someone I've known a long time. Hell, you inspired me to begin riding a bit over a year ago. Stay strong and believe in what you say - because you truly are not alone and the same can be said for so many others. Look forward to meeting you one of these days on a rally.
Cheers.
To have the courage to step outside of yourself, to offer guidance to others suffering speaks volumes to what a compassionate person you are...and how important it is for you to be here! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for putting an honest, heartfelt face to the struggle so many go through.
Tyler, you are the man. Don't know you personally but Love ya brother. Dual sport rider to and God loves all of us. You hang in there! Happy thoughts and want to ride with you one day out there.
Love you Tyler! Years ago your videos helped me enter the wonderful world of motorcycling. I am forever grateful.
Thank you for doing this video! I think one thing that can help PTSD is leaving behind the anger towards who or what caused the trauma.Not replaying it over and over in your head. In other words forgiveness. I'm not saying meds and counselling are not important. Please take this as a fan of yours honestly trying to help.
Thanks for posting this. I sure you've helped someone today. I think mental health is a struggle for more people than we realise. Seeking help and sharing your struggle with those around you is hard but Im happy youre doing it.
Dont let the media get to you, the world is on fire, but its always been that way.
much love and brap
"No matter how good your life may appear, you don't know whose struggling" That was a very powerful statement and it applies to many people. I have a lot of respect for you making this video. There is no way this was easy to post. Congrats for having the courage to do it
Takes a lot to come clean on your personal problems, remember take 1 minute then 1 hour then 1 day at a time. I don't suffer from your situation but I will say that you are an inspiration to me and so many! Thanks for the share and I hope to see you and your videos for as long as I can be on this planet... When I feel down and unhappy I goto my moto garage and put on eveRide videos to bring me back. Thank you for what you do and so sorry you struggle with this, hang in there sir for yourself and family you will win the battle in your mind if anyone can do it it's you.......
Thank you for sharing. This was one of the most powerful videos I have watched on RUclips mainly because you speak from the heart and lay it all bare. It was just the video I needed because I understand the road you travel, as I ride it too. Thank you and take care.
Hey everide you probably wont see this but we are all here for you and we all love you and your channel brings us all together thank you for what you do :)
keep getting the message out there. You are doing a good thing. I lost a good work friend to suicide. if he got help he would still be with us today...... I got help after see his demise. Its amazing how much meds and therapy can help. I can experience joy now!!
Hang in there man, your not alone... big hug from Argentina! hope some day we can ride together!
I have occasionally watched a random video on your channel, but never bothered to subscribe. The amount of courage and unflinching honesty you just displayed has made me a follower for life. If a sponsor can't appreciate that, fire them and get another one! Keep seeking the light brother, it's always waiting there right around the darkest corner.
Thanks for sharing! You're not alone. I'm right there with you and share a lot of your same thoughts. Stay strong and hang in there. Much love to ya brother!
🙏🙏🙏 for you and all who are suffering. PTSD/any mental health issue is no joke. Thanks for sharing your story 🤙🏻
Stay strong Tyler, you're great and you're channel is awesome too!! Best wishes for you!!
Hey brother, thanks for putting this out there and sharing your experiences. You're doing it right getting help and talking about it. You're also giving hope to your fellow humans who are facing rough times. All the best!!
You are loved and appreciated. And we’ll go through this journey together
How brave you are to share your story! Folks like you are the hero’s on the planet who share their troubled path to help others. Please know there is nothing more important than helping others and you need to be here to do that! Thank you for being YOU and sharing!
Praying for you brother...thank you for being open..it shows you have the character of a champion..love your channel and will continue to ..FOREVERIDE..
Thank you - thank you - thank you!!!
Putting yourself out there like this is one of the bravest things a person can do! You made a huge difference!
My father took his life when I was 17 and I have never felt the same since..... I have also battled with depression on and off and hearing/watching you (as hard as it was) was immensely helpful - I gained some great new insights today! You have made a difference - thank you.
FYI - it was always on my wish list to come out and ride with you - but now I want to more than ever!!
Thank you - thank you - thank you!!!
Your not alone man, been there. A brotherly embrace all the way
from Peru, Southern America.
"Most important message is show love and be grateful"... - I agree! We all need to try to spread more love. Some brains operate like a brand new motorcycle; and others need a little TLC, elbow grease, tuning, and hours in the garage just to keep them running! Let your brain be like a well loved, trusty KLR or DR. It may of been dropped and beaten, but it still gets you out there! You are tried and true, and good. Awesome video Tyler! Thanks for being so brave.
Thanx for sharing. I really love that you are so brave and open to share your emotions and feelings. Best video ever.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It takes so much courage to speak out about this and show how vulnerable we are are as human beings. As you said, you're not alone, I'm sure you will overcome this with the kind and loving help of your family and friends. My wife has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and I know how difficult it is for us to understand all the pain and sadness our beloved ones are going through, but it is possible to overcome those feelings. The love for your family is a great anchor to start from. Just stay on the ride!!
Cheers from Peru.
Much love to you eveRide. You’re an inspiration to all who view your vids. Stay strong. Thoughts and prayers.
Thank you. With your videos you have helped more than you can possibly imagine with my depression and ptsd. When you are out there riding in the desert and you think you're alone remember that I and I'm sure alot of others are right there with you,and know that myself and others would not be alive except for you.
I can't imagine how hard that was for you. I dealt with similar issues in my late teens through to my mid 30s, but not nearly as severe, and dealing with that was very difficult. I was one of those who self medicated with drugs and alcohol. Hang in there Tyler, hope that light at the end of the tunnel comes your way soon.... Prayers your direction.
Tyler - what can I say, apart from we love you man, we watch everything you do here from Australia, you've inspired all of us to ride and taught us so much. I know you're a man of faith, as am I, my prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for doing what you did - you are right, people needed to hear it and you aren't alone. Thanks for the massive courage it took to make that video, thanks for blessing us all with your honesty.
You have not been weird lately,
you have been woke!
You helped me deal my issues and also take a brake from social media. I can't believe the negative effect it was having on me and the people around me.
I recently lost an old friend to suicide.
It takes balls to be open and real about what's really going on in your skull. You are the man bro. Especially suffering personally yet still supporting your Son with his struggles. Much respect brother. Agape ♥️
thank you Tyler...
Man you have the answer at the end of your video, you are not alone, your family needs you. You are a successful RUclipsr, you have a large audience, and you can do whatever you want with your channel, I've listened to your entire video and i see true struggle, life is very challenging especially nowadays with all those incertenties.
I do have doubts, fears and concerns about our future, especially as a father myself.
But as you said life is beautiful so you have to go on with it.
And surf that wave for the good and the bad that it will bring.
Personally I'm against medications, it mess with your body even more.
The fact that you talked openly about it on your channel is a good sign.
You are going to get through this ! For the best !
Cheers mate !
What a brave video to post. Not only for the obvious, but also to have the guts to follow through without suicide as a symbol of strength. Imagine the ripple effect if you did. (Guilting you to life, but hey whatever works) love you brother
I have no words for the pain you feel. I do know life is a hell of a struggle. Life is a fight . I need you to fight for it! Those bad days will try to make you give up. I need you to look at your family and friends and fight for the good days. You bring a lot of people joy and you need to continue that. Always think about the fight! The will to live and love!
Lost my best friend to suicide a year ago. Thank you for this.
The more we are open about these issues, the less we will lose people. Thank you for sharing Tyler, keep working with your therapist, YOU are not alone, we are with you, we hear you, and who says a motorbike channel can't make a difference to things that aren't based on bikes. God bless you.
Powerful words bud , amazing that you are brave enough to talk about and be so honest about what you're going through. I've followed you from the beginning .Keep it up 💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're one of the best guys I know and I have never met you. I respect your vulnerability (read: courageousness) and am glad you are sharing this. You said it right, we all have people in our lives that struggling in similar ways to you and need to hear about what it is like so we can better support those folks. So thanks again for sharing your story and struggles. Love you man!
Thanks for sharing, stay strong. The struggle is real.
