Join Big Brothers/Big Sisters and become a big for a boy who doesn't have a role model in their life. There is a HUGE need and the commitment isn't overwhelming either. You would both benefit from it.
Granted I don’t know everything about you, but from what I’ve seen, you are an incredible person Joe. You may not be a dad, but there are 17 children I know of that probably consider you their second dad. You’re doing great my friend. Keep your head up.
I enjoy watching all of the Crazy channels. I don't comment often, but I want to tell you the haters are going to be negative because their lives are so unhappy and they cannot stand it when they see someone enjoying life. Live your life for you and keep smiling. God has a plan for you and I'm sure it will be great.
Focus on all the wonderful things that makes you the Joe that you are! There is no other like you Joe! Rest in knowing that you are a great person! I like you and you should really be proud of the man God has created you to be which is a man called JOE. Be you! I also deal with anxiety but I try and focus on the things I like about myself when I get down and God helps me through every single time! I’ll be praying for you🙏
Aaron, you’ve done a great job finding joy and contentment in a time when anxiety and depression is at the helm. I was so impressed with how well you were dealing with your mom’s prognosis. But no matter how much you prepare yourself for that ultimate heartbreak of losing a parent you’re close to, the moment it happens it’s devastating. You just want them back no matter what condition they were in when they passed, even when you know they’re in a better place. Sitting with your grief is the only way through, and it looks like you’re doing a good job working through it. My thoughts are with you…
Friends are such a blessing. Taking your Best Friend out on a a ride was so what Aaron needed and needs. Talk about Carol. Tearing 🥲up for you all, just knowing you are grieving. For 3 months straight, I didn’t wear mascara🥲. Out of no where they are on your mind and you just start crying I too, lost a parent. My Dad gained his angel wings in September 2023. I miss you Dad and I love you! 😘 Love, Your Baby Girl. Keep busy and when you think of a loved one who has passed away, say hi out loud to them. They have been such a huge part of your life, why have it stop. Hugs
I find anxiety never truly goes away but we can get it under control with breathing exercises, meditation, spending time in nature. Your quote by Dan Milman is spot on.
OMG Aaron is back??? yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Welcome back Aaron, I love seeing you guys hang out doing fun stuff even if it is just for a few mins
It was great to see you and Aaron (and Max) get out and take a ride togather. I think the both of you really pull each other out of whatever you’re dealing with on any given day. That is one solid friendship. God Bless! ✌🏽❤️
Joe, I hope you enjoyed the Christmas card I sent. I may wait until spring/summer to get the Harley coin. Our Harley shop does some small concerts on I believe Saturday night in May, June & July if I remember correctly. Keep It Crazy!!
Dear Joe. Thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety. So many people have this illness and people that are unkind are people that have no heart. You are a wonderful man and a huge gift to your friends and family🫶
Joe I love your realness. So many of us can relate to so many of the things you speak on. As always I loved the video and seeing y’all have fun out there. You would be an amazing parent or even step parent. Seeing you on the CP channel and interacting with the kids just proves how lucky a kid/teen or even young adult would be to have you in their lives. Dating in the Valley is hard. But not impossible. Just gotta weed out the… let’s say “unique” ones to find that special someone to compliment you and your life and you in theirs.
Great seeing all 3 of you out on your bikes. Joe your friendship with Aaron is awesome, you have each other's back no matter what. Joe you are a wonderful man and have many fans who love you. Blessings.
Thanks for being honest about your struggle with anxiety! I too struggle with anxiety and can relate. Proud of you for working through it in healthier ways!
Bless you! Learning not to be so hard on yourself is a really powerful lesson for those of us that really need it and once you really embrace that you are one heck of a worthwhile person, (and you ARE!!) you will find that your anxiety lessens.
I really enjoy your videos. I feel you’ll make a great dad when the time comes. Anxiety will stay with you but you’re learning to deal with it. I have PTSD and anxiety from a dog attack and breast cancer. I’m learning to deal with it too. I hope the best for you.
U read my comment in one video and I want to say even though I still have anxiety you helped me very much with your advice! Stay strong! You are a WONDERFUL PERSON! and other people are right you would be a wonderful father!
So many people see themselves as a "less than." The reality is that others see you very differently and admire so many traits. The same is true of you, Joe. You do a great job on these videos and always have. You present yourself very well . . . funny, loving, helpful to everyone, handsome,. Take the compliments and really hear them, Joe. Sharing your thoughts is so attractive, really. You need to ease up on yourself. You are seen as so valuable to so many. Do not let the naysayers capture so much of your attention, Easier said than done, I know. As a matter of fact, I do think reading all comments is very bad for your mental health. I cannot imagine putting myself out there and then being judged by someone who you will never know, yet they are so brave behind the internet wall. Your life has to be impacted by the fact you are seen by so many. There are lots of "crazies" (yes, really!) out there and so many of them want to bolster themselves by putting others down. You are a very valuable part of our world, Joe. You truly are.
Be safe! It’s not you it’s people around you. Drive speed limit and have fun. My husband has had a few motorcycle since we’ve been married (35 years). It’s fun, moved onto a fifth wheel. I feel the same as you about social media, I have to stop and take a break sometimes.
I suffer from anxiety and depression... I find journaling and painting helps me a lot . Is always best each person fine what helps them.. I am so glad you and Arron find the peace you need in riding. Love all you guys.. Thanks for the shows.
You are doing so well Jo,I love your vlogs so much and this one helped me a lot as it's 3.45am here in Australia and I'm in pain and obviously can't sleep. You definitely brought a smile to my face. Have a great day 😊
You are an amazing guy, Joe. I hope someday you find someone special to spend your life with. Wish I knew someone to send your way! ❤ Thanks for sharing your positivity. God bless you! Happy 2024!
I am so glad that you went on the bikeride together❤️ Guess it must havebeen so fun! Joe, you are one amazing man. I hope, with all my heart, that you gonna find the right woman. The one who gets you, is one lucky lady🥰
Nobody is perfect but for the right person you are. I feel so sad listening to what you say. When i watch your video's i see such a beautifull person inside and out. Please dont compare yourself to others, maybe you dont see it but look around you with your friends and family. Youre living your way en your path
You will find "your" person Joe, im 45 and have not found mine. Most days i think i will be alone forever but every now and then i get this little hope that there might be someone out there! Would love to have the big family to hang out with your lucky in that aspect. You rock Joe keep being you ❤❤
I found a colouring book app that when my anxiety is rough I find that the colouring helps me relax and when I get motivated I paint and craft to help me too. Big HUGS Joe ❤❤
Joe your a great guy,anxiety doesn't go away unfortunately,you just try to get threw it . Your gonna find the women for you just take your time ..she's out there .😊❤
Joe I have learned that you can’t be to hard on yourself. I’m a single parent to my kids. And I constantly feel like I have to be perfect for my kids in the absence of their father. I have learned that kids are very forgiving and understanding. They say there is someone out there for everyone. At least that’s what I have always been told. You are a great guy and seem like a great catch. Positive vibes always. From single adult to another. Be careful with the dating seen. Pretty scary out there now days. Prayers to all the family during their time of loss. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 You are a one of a kind friend.
Such a kind person. Not everyone’s partner/wife would want them hanging with their friends all the time but you are also a good friend to crystal also. Or should I say family member. I hope you learn how to manage your anxiety and depression better, I know how hard it is and I can’t yet as I’m an overthinker. Hope you get the bike sold and also help out your aunt❤
Hey Joe I have anxiety also I just learned to work with it not let it bring you down. Find a fun game to play that can help you with your anxiety. I hope some day you will find someone that will treat you with love and respect because you seem like a great person who deserves to be loved by somebody.
Please consider trying to find a “float” center or sensory deprivation tanks. I suggested it to Hallie also. Basically you are in an 8-10” deep pool of water that has been saturated with Epsom salts. That saturation means that you automatically float, no effort. You can be in the tank in total darkness and silence, but it’s not necessary, most have ambient lighting and meditative music. It can help you get to a meditative state, I actually fell asleep! The magnesium in the Epsom salts is great for muscle recovery so a lot of sports teams use them. But a bonus of the magnesium is that it helps with depression and anxiety. Many studies! Depression and anxiety are not just from feelings and thoughts. We have to realize that to keep our brains working well, we need to nourish it correctly. Most doctors go right to the big stuff and crazy tests, then prescribe pills that mask the symptoms, but don’t get to the root cause, and usually make things worse down the road. The basic building blocks, or lack of, to our bodies are usually the cause of most health issues. Another good thing to do is taking a walk barefoot. “Grounding” - check it out. 😊
You are my type of person. Wish I was 25 years younger lol. I’m getting close to 80. My husband and I were rider for many years. We lived in Minnesota and did all the roads here + all the mountain ranges out west. We also were into antique automobile. Our dating was taking his 1927 Buick apart and putting it back together.
Joe i know you have anxiety problems but just remember you are one fantastic guy friend to Aaron and his family. You have tried and understand what triggers a problem and actually took matters in your own hands to sort it like when you went to camp with Aaron up the mountain in the dark . Yes you got a little stressed camping but you did it. Friendship helps you expand your exposure to experience your stressful anxiety. Your doing so well . Your kind caring intresting bloke who needs to go to the next step a good relationship just for you. ❤❤
Omg Joe you are so amazing with kids. I’m 71 yr old grandmother and would leave my grandchildren with you any time. I’m the only living grand parent my grand kids have. Anyway bottom line you’d make an excellent dad.
no parent is perfect. Joe you are so great with your nieces and with Aaron & Crystal's kids! Hoping you find love and eventually a family if that's what you want! I think it will happen for you!
I struggle with identifying my anxieties. I was taking more magnesium vitamin z ,d ,c and for a bit I left better. However we had a death in our family and I have not been able to feel it lighter. I pray and do breathing exercises and it helps me fall asleep. Thank you for sharing your experience. condolences to you and your family. Glad you guys took that ride.
I also have anxiety and outbursts. I started to take Magnesium at night, vitamins A, D and Calcium. D needs to be taken with Calcium. Within 2 weeks made a world of difference for me. It truly did change my life. My niece whom is a nurse suggested I get B12 as that also helps. So that’s on my next shopping list to get. I’m glad it has made all the world of a difference for me. Take care.
Joe I'm disabled and I have been afraid of what I can do, because of my parent's. So I'm now following my dreams like making cards and getting Married to a wonderful man and I also have depression. I stay busy with work and life. The reason why I bring that up is Anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand. I was going to say is is this going to be mostly your channel with Aaron sprinkled in hear and there, but I love the way you and Aaron are great together
I love that quote. I have anxiety but it's not that bad. I need to be able to get away ny myself but I am the caregiver to my mom and my brother who has had a stroke 😕. I love them but everyone needs a break. Praying for Aaron and the family. You have mad sewing skills 😊
Joe my name is Regina I have suffered with ptsd type 2 and anxiety attacks and panic attacks since I was 4 , they can be totally horrific I have found that listening to music or doing chest drumming or just ridding around helps calms me down please don't be embarrassed for having anxiety it's not your fault I have had anxiety shut down my vision and hearing the doctor said my brain was protecting itself
When you travel, you gotta go to Sturgis!!! Even if you dont go to the actual Sturgis event in the summer, just visiting the town anytime is pretty cool. Then you'd be not super far from me, I'm in Iowa, not too far from Omaha, NE.
Joe we appreciate you for sharing with us all and we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers always, wewe share some of the same issues that you have etc.and we know that God will continue to see you through all the ups and downs and we'll be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers as well,thanks for being open and trying to help others out as you take care of yourself, you put God and then yourself first and then others last, its easy to get burned out and you deserve to be happy and healthy and we appreciate you and praying that you will one day find what you are searching for, hang in there and it's okay to be single and if you ask God for the desires of your heart, He will be there to fulfill your needs. ❤😊❤
It's beyond sad that you ever thought you wouldn't be a great father. I have a 15 year old son whose father hasn't been in his life since he was 7. I would have loved it if he'd been blessed by a father like you.
40 degrees is t-shirt weather lol! I am in Montana. It was -46 the other day here. FYI that’s cold! Right now it’s -25. We won’t be above 0 for another several days.
Ahh 40! From Nebraska it’s -11 with a wind chill -36🥶🥶🥶🥶Did like the scenery and enjoyed the ride along. Uncle Joe, you are so right no one is perfect, but there is that special person out there for you❤We miss Aaron, but totally understand what he is through at this time❤Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing ❤
Reacting from the Netherlands, on Sunday 14 January at 11:45 pm. It's 2°C here. Thank you, Joe for a well structured and transparent vlog. I love how you give updates and answers! And sometimes anticipate or also address your perception about anxiety, feelings and emotions. I appreciate your efforts to interact both in the comments and in the recording. Wishing you to meet your matching and caring life partner, whilst enjoying precious friendships and family love.
Thinking about people with PTSD, the expected outcome is not that it will completely go away. The reasonable expectation would be to manage when it raises its ugly head. I have tried to apply this principle to dealing with depression/anxiety. For all of these issues, management is the reasonable goal. A person can create stress when working toward unreasonable goals.
Quit being so hard on yourself Joe I know you would be a great dad and I hope you find out special someone that can fulfill your life and having a family someday my husband and I have been together since 1990. We got married in 1995 we had Three beautiful children together, and he had two already and my stepchildren do not treat me like a stepmom. They treat me like a mom. I raised them from the ages of three and four, so we have a really close relationship.
Thanks Joe... I think so, too. 😏 It took me MONTHS to come up with a YT name. That sounds horrifying! Glad you are ok! I hope you are proud of yourself for getting back on the saddle. You should be! And yeah, you kinda have a point with the horses having a mind of their own. 😂
I suffer from anxiety and cptsd and agoraphobia.. it’s a daily battle that I struggle with but I have learned that putting my feelings down on paper helps and that is in one journal and I have another journal that I put down positive thoughts,quotes and affirmations and when I get overwhelmed I can read the second book and I feel better and once a week I read the other book and I can see how much I have overcome
Aaron and Joe you should get yourself a pair of gloves that warm your hands. You have to charge them, of course but my husband owns a couple of pairs and they really work to keep your hands warm while you’re riding.
My psychiatrist treated my anxiety with vitamin d. There is a common myth that if you live in a state like Arizona you get enough from the sun, but you don't. It isn't a cure bit it sure helped me regulate it. And I also spent many times hiding and crying in a bathroom. I actually haven't had a panic attack in years
JOE, I was just wondering how you feel about living alone? Does it get lonely and causes anxiety? I am a widow lost my husband before he turned 30. I have been alone for a while now. It seems when I sit alone I get so much into my thoughts that it sometimes causes me to have this anxiety. How do you pull through it? Still working on this myself and suggestions would help. Aaron, sorry for your loss. I know she was a great mother because she raised a great son! She is in peace PRAYERS!
Ya anxiety is tough i have bad anxiety driving i the city.. towns are okay but the city with like 4 lanes both ways and sky trains ya nope. It was -42c where i live and we were on power watch they were talking about rotating power for the whole province. We were asked to unplug vehicle and only use what is totally necessary.. I'll take your weather forsure lol. Our road side company were backed up i heard 18hr wait for help but most of those were dead batteries. Thank goodness my vehicle started because i couldn't find my block heater plug.
Joe I assumed but want to verify in my mind that you are working full time for crystal and Aaron on Crazy Pieces…..thanks in advance for verifying this for me.
There is no such thing as the perfect parent. But there is the just right parent. You will be just right. I remember a quote " if God couldn't get Adam and Eve to listen to Him, what chance do we have " 😂. Wish you luck finding someone soon. Aaron take as long as you need. ❤
Hi Joe, can you explain further how you’re working on the anxiety thing from the quote. I also suffer from anxiety and I’m open to suggestions. Thank you
Great question Debbie. I'll try to cover it in more depth soon, but in a nutshell a big thing for me was learning to accept my anxiety and not fighting it. When I learned to recognize it, accept it and actually allow it, instead of fight it and in essence fight myself for even having it, I have learned to exist with it. In failing to control it I was allowing it to control me in an ever expanding downward spiral. In allowing it a space, albeit a small one, I have been able to expend my efforts to once again begin to take control of my own life. It's not gone, it's just not the controlling force it was.
I'm kind of in the same boat as you with divorce, wanting kids, etc. I have 1 child with my ex, she is special needs so i still feel like when I'm old, after my parents pass, I'll be so alone.... i know i need to build a community around me but that is easier said than done.
I had to giggle a lil cause you guys said it 40 and here in Colorado we go to -10. Also with anxiety I get it a lot there these breathing necklaces you can get it helps also like this nasal thing you can smell works good also I suffer from insomnia so melatonin doesn’t put me to sleep but I noticed if I take it it helps calm me down. Again I have insomnia so it doesn’t put me to sleep I take a prescription for sleep. Hugs to you!
Join Big Brothers/Big Sisters and become a big for a boy who doesn't have a role model in their life. There is a HUGE need and the commitment isn't overwhelming either. You would both benefit from it.
Granted I don’t know everything about you, but from what I’ve seen, you are an incredible person Joe. You may not be a dad, but there are 17 children I know of that probably consider you their second dad. You’re doing great my friend. Keep your head up.
I enjoy watching all of the Crazy channels. I don't comment often, but I want to tell you the haters are going to be negative because their lives are so unhappy and they cannot stand it when they see someone enjoying life. Live your life for you and keep smiling. God has a plan for you and I'm sure it will be great.
Focus on all the wonderful things that makes you the Joe that you are! There is no other like you Joe!
Rest in knowing that you are a great person! I like you and you should really be proud of the man God has created you to be which is a man called JOE. Be you!
I also deal with anxiety but I try and focus on the things I like about myself when I get down and God helps me through every single time! I’ll be praying for you🙏
Aaron, you’ve done a great job finding joy and contentment in a time when anxiety and depression is at the helm. I was so impressed with how well you were dealing with your mom’s prognosis. But no matter how much you prepare yourself for that ultimate heartbreak of losing a parent you’re close to, the moment it happens it’s devastating. You just want them back no matter what condition they were in when they passed, even when you know they’re in a better place. Sitting with your grief is the only way through, and it looks like you’re doing a good job working through it. My thoughts are with you…
Friends are such a blessing. Taking your Best Friend out on a a ride was so what Aaron needed and needs. Talk about Carol. Tearing 🥲up for you all, just knowing you are grieving.
For 3 months straight, I didn’t wear mascara🥲. Out of no where they are on your mind and you just start crying I too, lost a parent. My Dad gained his angel wings in September 2023. I miss you Dad and I love you! 😘 Love,
Your Baby Girl.
Keep busy and when you think of a loved one who has passed away, say hi out loud to them. They have been such a huge part of your life, why have it stop.
Hugs
You just need to be YOU ❤ You are an amazing, caring, loving and kind person.

Dear Joe. Thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety. So many people have this illness and people that are unkind are people that have no heart. You are a wonderful man and a huge gift to your friends and family🫶
Joe, you & Aaron are absolutely amazing! I love the friendship you two have. Prayers for Aaron & his mental health ❤
Great to hear about you and the horses Joe 😊
Love your channel and I really love you for you!!! Don’t ever underestimate yourself, you are perfect just being yourself❤️❤️❤️
Joe I love your realness. So many of us can relate to so many of the things you speak on. As always I loved the video and seeing y’all have fun out there.

Listening to you talk about anxiety helped me today. I am 69 and struggle also. Bless you for sharing
Great seeing all 3 of you out on your bikes. Joe your friendship with Aaron is awesome, you have each other's back no matter what. Joe you are a wonderful man and have many fans who love you. Blessings.
I have anxiety too. So I know how you feel. Just keep being you and doing what you do. You are doing amazing! Thank you for the Q&A update.
Thanks for being honest about your struggle with anxiety! I too struggle with anxiety and can relate. Proud of you for working through it in healthier ways!

You're one of the smartest guys on RUclips. I enjoy listening to you.
I really enjoy your videos. I feel you’ll make a great dad when the time comes. Anxiety will stay with you but you’re learning to deal with it. I have PTSD and anxiety from a dog attack and breast cancer. I’m learning to deal with it too. I hope the best for you.

U read my comment in one video and I want to say even though I still have anxiety you helped me very much with your advice! Stay strong! You are a WONDERFUL PERSON! and other people are right you would be a wonderful father!
A great dad is someone who is kind and there for their children: that's you for sure! I pray you find the right person to start a family with.

That's an uplifting comment, which I gladly second!
Thank you for that!
Hey Joe I have anxiety also I just learned to work with it not let it bring you down. Find a fun game to play that can help you with your anxiety. I hope some day you will find someone that will treat you with love and respect because you seem like a great person who deserves to be loved by somebody.

Yes you got a little stressed camping but you did it. Friendship helps you expand your exposure to experience your stressful anxiety. Your doing so well . Your kind caring intresting bloke who needs to go to the next step a good relationship just for you. ❤❤
Omg Joe you are so amazing with kids. I’m 71 yr old grandmother and would leave my grandchildren with you any time. I’m the only living grand parent my grand kids have. Anyway bottom line you’d make an excellent dad.
Thanks for being real ❤ I'm happy that you and Aaron have had your friendship for so many years!!! ❤ Huggs
U r a great uncle making a difference.
Anxiety is so hard ❤ and people without it do not always understand how it can effect your life.
Love you, Joe!!!❤
I began struggling with anxiety after my mother passed away 10 years ago n it’s awful , I feel for anyone struggling with it x
no parent is perfect. Joe you are so great with your nieces and with Aaron & Crystal's kids!
Hoping you find love and eventually a family if that's what you want! I think it will happen for you!
I struggle with identifying my anxieties. I was taking more magnesium vitamin z ,d ,c and for a bit I left better. However we had a death in our family and I have not been able to feel it lighter. I pray and do breathing exercises and it helps me fall asleep. Thank you for sharing your experience. condolences to you and your family. Glad you guys took that ride.
You don't have to be perfect you just have to be present❤ ine of my favorite sayings
I also have anxiety and outbursts. I started to take Magnesium at night, vitamins A, D and Calcium. D needs to be taken with Calcium. Within 2 weeks made a world of difference for me. It truly did change my life. My niece whom is a nurse suggested I get B12 as that also helps. So that’s on my next shopping list to get. I’m glad it has made all the world of a difference for me. Take care.
Thanks for this video...I loved riding both bikes & horses in my younger years....enjoy while you can...still have my Class 6
You are a rock star of a human
Joe I'm disabled and I have been afraid of what I can do, because of my parent's. So I'm now following my dreams like making cards and getting Married to a wonderful man and I also have depression. I stay busy with work and life. The reason why I bring that up is Anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand. I was going to say is is this going to be mostly your channel with Aaron sprinkled in hear and there, but I love the way you and Aaron are great together
Joe I believe people say nasty things because they’re not happy with themselves. Stay strong!🙏🏽
I love that quote. I have anxiety but it's not that bad. I need to be able to get away ny myself but I am the caregiver to my mom and my brother who has had a stroke 😕. I love them but everyone needs a break. Praying for Aaron and the family. You have mad sewing skills 😊
Joe my name is Regina I have suffered with ptsd type 2 and anxiety attacks and panic attacks since I was 4 , they can be totally horrific I have found that listening to music or doing chest drumming or just ridding around helps calms me down please don't be embarrassed for having anxiety it's not your fault I have had anxiety shut down my vision and hearing the doctor said my brain was protecting itself
When you travel, you gotta go to Sturgis!!! Even if you dont go to the actual Sturgis event in the summer, just visiting the town anytime is pretty cool. Then you'd be not super far from me, I'm in Iowa, not too far from Omaha, NE.
Do more filming rides Loved see you with Aaron and Max.
Joe we appreciate you for sharing with us all and we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers always, wewe share some of the same issues that you have etc.and we know that God will continue to see you through all the ups and downs and we'll be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers as well,thanks for being open and trying to help others out as you take care of yourself, you put God and then yourself first and then others last, its easy to get burned out and you deserve to be happy and healthy and we appreciate you and praying that you will one day find what you are searching for, hang in there and it's okay to be single and if you ask God for the desires of your heart, He will be there to fulfill your needs. ❤😊❤
It's beyond sad that you ever thought you wouldn't be a great father. I have a 15 year old son whose father hasn't been in his life since he was 7. I would have loved it if he'd been blessed by a father like you.
Anxiety does suck
40 degrees is t-shirt weather lol! I am in Montana. It was -46 the other day here. FYI that’s cold! Right now it’s -25. We won’t be above 0 for another several days.
Ahh 40! From Nebraska it’s -11 with a wind chill -36🥶🥶🥶🥶Did like the scenery and enjoyed the ride along. Uncle Joe, you are so right no one is perfect, but there is that special person out there for you❤We miss Aaron, but totally understand what he is through at this time❤Enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing ❤
I'm in Iowa, it's the same over here. Brrrr 🥶
@@thriftymama3786
I’m with ya! Stay cozy warm❤️
Reacting from the Netherlands, on Sunday 14 January at 11:45 pm. It's 2°C here.
Thank you, Joe for a well structured and transparent vlog.
I love how you give updates and answers!
And sometimes anticipate or also address your perception about anxiety, feelings and emotions.
I appreciate your efforts to interact both in the comments and in the recording.
Wishing you to meet your matching and caring life partner, whilst enjoying precious friendships and family love.
I enjoy your new vlog tonight
Thinking about people with PTSD, the expected outcome is not that it will completely go away. The reasonable expectation would be to manage when it raises its ugly head. I have tried to apply this principle to dealing with depression/anxiety. For all of these issues, management is the reasonable goal. A person can create stress when working toward unreasonable goals.
Quit being so hard on yourself Joe I know you would be a great dad and I hope you find out special someone that can fulfill your life and having a family someday my husband and I have been together since 1990. We got married in 1995 we had Three beautiful children together, and he had two already and my stepchildren do not treat me like a stepmom. They treat me like a mom. I raised them from the ages of three and four, so we have a really close relationship.
Hang in there Joe, the right woman will show up. I have major depression, without medication I am suicidal.
Thanks Joe... I think so, too. 😏 It took me MONTHS to come up with a YT name.
That sounds horrifying! Glad you are ok! I hope you are proud of yourself for getting back on the saddle. You should be! And yeah, you kinda have a point with the horses having a mind of their own. 😂
I suffer from anxiety and cptsd and agoraphobia.. it’s a daily battle that I struggle with but I have learned that putting my feelings down on paper helps and that is in one journal and I have another journal that I put down positive thoughts,quotes and affirmations and when I get overwhelmed I can read the second book and I feel better and once a week I read the other book and I can see how much I have overcome
Anxiety does suck, it sucks so bad!! I absolutely hate it!! 😢 it can be so crippling 🙏 ❤
Aaron and Joe you should get yourself a pair of gloves that warm your hands. You have to charge them, of course but my husband owns a couple of pairs and they really work to keep your hands warm while you’re riding.
My psychiatrist treated my anxiety with vitamin d. There is a common myth that if you live in a state like Arizona you get enough from the sun, but you don't. It isn't a cure bit it sure helped me regulate it.
And I also spent many times hiding and crying in a bathroom. I actually haven't had a panic attack in years
JOE, I was just wondering how you feel about living alone? Does it get lonely and causes anxiety? I am a widow lost my husband before he turned 30. I have been alone for a while now. It seems when I sit alone I get so much into my thoughts that it sometimes causes me to have this anxiety. How do you pull through it? Still working on this myself and suggestions would help. Aaron, sorry for your loss. I know she was a great mother because she raised a great son! She is in peace PRAYERS!
It's-7 in Missouri. Enjoy your channel
keep going you can do this.
Ya anxiety is tough i have bad anxiety driving i the city.. towns are okay but the city with like 4 lanes both ways and sky trains ya nope.
It was -42c where i live and we were on power watch they were talking about rotating power for the whole province. We were asked to unplug vehicle and only use what is totally necessary.. I'll take your weather forsure lol. Our road side company were backed up i heard 18hr wait for help but most of those were dead batteries. Thank goodness my vehicle started because i couldn't find my block heater plug.
Thank you for sharing
Joe I assumed but want to verify in my mind that you are working full time for crystal and Aaron on Crazy Pieces…..thanks in advance for verifying this for me.
There is no such thing as the perfect parent. But there is the just right parent. You will be just right. I remember a quote " if God couldn't get Adam and Eve to listen to Him, what chance do we have " 😂. Wish you luck finding someone soon.
Aaron take as long as you need. ❤
Joe you are the best
Hi Joe, can you explain further how you’re working on the anxiety thing from the quote. I also suffer from anxiety and I’m open to suggestions. Thank you
Great question Debbie. I'll try to cover it in more depth soon, but in a nutshell a big thing for me was learning to accept my anxiety and not fighting it. When I learned to recognize it, accept it and actually allow it, instead of fight it and in essence fight myself for even having it, I have learned to exist with it. In failing to control it I was allowing it to control me in an ever expanding downward spiral. In allowing it a space, albeit a small one, I have been able to expend my efforts to once again begin to take control of my own life. It's not gone, it's just not the controlling force it was.
I hear on the anxiety. The weather here in Washington State hasn't been helping.
I'm kind of in the same boat as you with divorce, wanting kids, etc. I have 1 child with my ex, she is special needs so i still feel like when I'm old, after my parents pass, I'll be so alone.... i know i need to build a community around me but that is easier said than done.
Love watching you on this channel. Joe do you work for Crazy pieces or do you have another job? I have a sis in law I can set you up with in Idaho!
He works for Crazy Pieces. Most people know this by now.
I had to giggle a lil cause you guys said it 40 and here in Colorado we go to -10. Also with anxiety I get it a lot there these breathing necklaces you can get it helps also like this nasal thing you can smell works good also I suffer from insomnia so melatonin doesn’t put me to sleep but I noticed if I take it it helps calm me down. Again I have insomnia so it doesn’t put me to sleep I take a prescription for sleep. Hugs to you!
Joe instead of waiting until you find the one, have you thought about adopting or fostering on your own?
Joe, you're an amazing guy, I'm still shocked that you are single.
Hello love your videos.😊
I had a panic attack one time in target store. I had never experienced any thing like this before. By the grace of God I never experienced it again.
i have anxiety also cannot do croweds
I love you content
Way to go Joe.
❤ u Joe
