Jarvis talking about having noise on in the background to quiet the discomfort that comes with silence as I use his voice to quiet the discomfort that comes with silence.
rly appreciate jarvis talking openly abt his chronic health issues as someone who is very much struggling to come to terms with being chronically ill myself . it’s nice to hear it talked about in a casual way
I feel the same way, especially coming into the comments and seeing how many people relate to their discussions on illness and mental health. Almost two years into my Crohn’s diagnosis, and this definitely makes it feel less like me life is collapsing all around me forever. I’ll probably be able to manage it like these dorks some day
I completely agree. Anytime I talk about it to my friends I'm treated so differently as if I should always keep it quiet. It's so nice to hear someone else be open about it. Especially while I'm going through medical gaslighting and no doctor will treat my Hashimoto's disease.
I also have chronic hives and it's literally amazing to hear one of my favorite youtubers talking about how he has the same condition. Like beat for beat.
Same! Ive been disabled for about 6 years and sometimes i have to remind myself , no you are disabled, dont you dare do that thing that will flare up your chronic pain
Oh my god the "autoplay into another LONGER video essay" has been happening so much for me with the hbomb plagiarism video too. I've probably listened to it like....6 times fully through in the process of going about my day.

Hey Jarvis! I’m a 16 year old kid that also has chronic spontaneous urticaria. My health has gone to complete shit over the past year and it means a lot to hear from someone who struggles with something I do too. For a few months starting last summer I was covered head to toe with hives and they never went away. I was on the max dose of every med I could be on and nothing got rid of it. I never wanted to leave the house and was in agony. They’ve gotten better since then but still won’t go away. A lot of people don’t know that random hives are a thing, so it’s something I’m insecure about. In school, I get really anxious and embarrassed that people are going to be weirded out. I almost cried once because my face got swollen in school and I looked like I had gotten horrible lip filler. It’s been such a big stressor for me to deal with the constant itching. Hearing you talk about your hives now (since I’ve gotten my diagnosis) has made me cry. I feel so seen. Thank you.
Wow that was pretty much my experience around 16 or 17. I'm at uni now but when I was still in high school I spent about a year suffering and hating being seen by anyone and trying pretty much every treatment, slowly going mad. It sucks a lot obviously and I think the hardest part is not having any sort of estimate of when it will go away or if it will just flare up again and again. Best advice I can give is to be kind to yourself about it, let yourself cry and be angry because it is horrible and unfair. The thing that eventually seemed to be what put me in remission was a combo of omalizumab (Xolair in the USA) and IVIG, the latter is rather hard to get but the former is pretty much the go-to treatment for non-responsive cases; if you haven't considered/tried it yet then it *might* be a thing to mention to your GP/immunologist/whoever
no matter what, your worth is not defined by what affects you externally, but rather the strength we have to deal with them internally, and you’re doing great. hives suck, rooting for you!!
I totally get that. I might have a less severe case of MCAS and it's so fucking frustrating to do everything you can to avoid a flareup, and still end up having a reaction to literally nothing. It comes and goes so much for me- I could be perfectly fine using a product one day, then get horrible hives and rashes all over my body the next, and back again. Lately, having anything rub against my skin has made me breakout into hives too, so wearing clothes with a lot of seams or textures has been a nightmare, especially since that is almost all my clothes. I can't handle anything touching my skin because it feels like my skin is getting burnt or like having rubbing alcohol put onto a papercut, it's like nothing makes it better, and it's really hard to shower because that's when flareups get even worse, and it's never consistent with whether or not it helps or harms. I feel you so much, and I really hope you can figure out something that works for your skin. I've yet to gotten any testing for mine since I have other really debilitating chronic illness stuff going on that is more high priority to figure out, but I'm hoping soon that I'll figure it out or at least get on immunosuppressors since my issues are likely autoimmune.
@toadcrossroad You could either wear your clothes inside out, or take up sewing your own clothes, you could do neat French seams that would be pretty smooth.

As an immigration paralegal, huge congrats to Jordan for making it to the next step in the immigration process. Each stage is such a sigh of relief and each approval should be celebrated. Seems like you're working with great lawyers that have your back throughout these incredibly stressful proceedings
wow as someone else who has chronic urticaria since i was 4 or 5 years old, I really appreciate you talking about it, jarvis. i rarely ever even hear people mention the name (besides doctors and other eps of this podcast, of course) so it is just really validating to hear you speak on it. hope your flare up calms down soon… I know how irritating and uncomfortable it can be!
Same, its really nice to hear other people talk about it! Mine got so intensely bad when i became an adult that it practically ruined my early 20's. Xolair has been such a lifesaver omg
@@jackal2654 oh man, mine was mainly bad in my childhood (elementary school was especially frustrating because kids didn’t understand it) but it’s mainly calmed down now besides the occasional flare up. I’m glad to hear something has been helping you too!
CIU is crazy horrible and it doesn't help that a lot of people can't understand how maddening it is to be itchy all the time so they don't take it seriously. My most recent flare up (a few years back), I spent months just listening to audiobooks so that I didn't have to move and make the itching worse. In the end it cleared up from a combination of omalizumab and IVIG but gods was it expensive. IIRC it's very rare for people to have a flare up last more than 2 years, but that's still far FAR too long. Also, I reckon it has a genetic component just based on looking at my own family history
Same 😩 I had an episode that lasted about a year, and had no idea it was chronic urticaria for months, none of my doctors even suggested it was that until I saw an allergist. I'm nervous about it coming back but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Trying to be productive while your whole body is constantly itchy is horrible and I would not wish it on anyone.
Jarvis talking about being most at peace when he's tired (bc it removes some anxiety) really resonated with me. I think that's why I enjoy the sedating effects of MJ in my daily life.
I understand the whole crying when meeting your idols/being overwhelmed thing…I had front row tickets to Janet Jackson and she waved hi to me… then she starting singing Scream and I was bawling uncontrollably and it was completely involuntary lol
I don't have what Jarvis has but I do have eczema where I scratch myself so hard I bleed and it's nice to hear someone candidly talk about this without awkwardness because it shouldn't be awkward.
@@marisolbecerra06 fwiw, i finally got mine back under control by keeping it covered in organic cotton, as many layers as i could stand, and getting it damp first. every time the skin dries out it damages itself more, so anything you can do to make sure it doesn’t fully dry will help it to heal! coconut oil (and occasionally mct oil with lavender essential oil) was also a lifesaver 😫
As someone with chronic hives, it's really nice to hear someone else talk about it. I don't think I've heard anybody else online discuss chronic hives and it's weirdly comforting to hear people describe the things I'm going through. I'm glad it seems like anti-histamines help Jarvis, but they never were able to fully get rid of my hives so my doctors have had me on xolair for two years and it has really helped :) I hope Jarvis feels better soon, it's truly so difficult to function when you have hives
@@possumfrog i’m so sorry, hives are actually the worst. i spent so much time not being able to figure out what worked (every anti-histamine on the market, steroids, etc) and i could barely function. i hope it gets better for you
Eyyyy Xoliar fam! It only cleared up my CSU and delayed pressure utri at 450mg every two weeks 🙃 an my insurance keeps trying to cancel it for to high a dose. Went from Jan to jun this year without it and literally I can’t even think about the possibility of going through it again (TW:unalive/thoughts of) like I’ve never been su*cidl but going through that was the closest I’ve ever been 😮💨
I don’t have chronic urticaria but my mom does and I have some overlapping stuff - I will say when I’m having an autoimmune flare-up I also deal with a lot of executive dysfunction - I have trouble mustering enough focus to do even shallow work. And there is research out there that addresses the effect inflammation can have on the brain. Proud of you for showing up anyways and I hope you find treatment that improves your life quality 💜
I love listening to the convo about “I need to be watching smth at all times” cuz sadboyz is that for me, this is what I watch while playing my mobile games with all the ads 😂
talking about needing something like a podcast in the background while doing something as I’m listening to this podcast because I need something in the background while doing something
I think this video triggered something in me because I just started cleaning out my "untitled" desktop folder a.k.a. my guest room/craft room! Of course it now looks like a tornado went through, but sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. Looking forward to the next Sad Boyz so I can listen to you guys while I keep organizing!
Lol I'm only here because I found a recent episode where they suddenly reveal they're so deep in BG3 and I'm like guys... how can you keep this out of most of the episodes???
I've watched you guys a lot recently, but I've never related to anyone as much as I related to the first 12mins of this episode. Made me feel so much less alone and alien. Thank you.
i have had similar problems with chronic urticaria, especially scratching/rubbing off patches of skin. it was weirdly cool to hear you mention that! i also get cold weather urticaria, so have never been able to use cold compresses or ice to battle itching. PERSONALLY, when its very bad, it has helped me to use a heating pad or similar on the itchy area. hope some fucking good health and happiness can flare up in you
Heating pad and ice work for me! Also I’ve gotten prescription ointment. I’ve found lotion for bug bites or eczema helps too and helps keep me from scratching my skin off.
The best tweet to come out about the 49ers and the Super Bowl was hands down "learning the rules to your own game at the same time as Ice Spice is crazyyy"
Oh my god, this is my moment. As someone who spent five years with chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema, for me it was linked to my thyroid condition (I’m sure you’ve had your thyroid checked throughout this, but if you haven’t, definitely do) but the only thing that finally had it die down was getting out of an abusive relationship. It makes sense because my doctors had told me flare ups could be triggered by stress and being in that situation stressed me out a lot, but seeing the huge physical change after leaving him was wild. Good luck Jarvis, I know it’s really hard and I appreciate you talking about it. 🖤
I have mast cell activation syndrome and stress (good and bad) plays SUCH a big part of my symptom flares. Even just laughing too hard can trigger an asthma attack and a flare. So glad you got out of a stressful situation and found some symptom relief! ❤
I really hope Jarvis and Jordan realize how helpful it is for so many of us when they talk about health issues and the stuff that a lot of us go through. I don’t have what Jarvis has but I have chronic pain, fatigue, and stomach issues. The last few months I literally haven’t been able to take care of myself. My mom has had to help me get to doctors and physical therapy and I’m on so many fucking meds it’s insane. I think my physical problems have left me so mentally fatigued as well, that that my ADHD has been running *rampant* even with Adderall 😵💫 I also get that up and down Jarvis describes, where I just can’t do shit and then I eventually go back to “high functioning”. It doesn’t help that I have AuDHD, so it’s also hard to properly put into words or communicate with most people, what’s going on in my head. It’s exhausting. But the laughs at the end from the soulmate POV’s were killer 😂 *mAmA* I’m fuckin dead 💀🤣
I know. The executive function discussion got me on a Google deep dive. And an hour later while still watching the video I now have an appointment to possibly get diagnosed with ADHD.
I always struggle with executive dysfunction but the way yall talked about it helped me stop beating myself up over it for long enough to do some unpacking I've been putting off for months. I still have plenty of other stuff to do to clean but that little step was really helpful. Always appreciate you 💕
It's really nice to hear you two talk about struggling with ADHD and depression/anxiety and the kinds of systems you build for yourself because it's so chill but also I feel like a lot of dudes with ADHD do not ever talk about it vs. like a lot more women now are opening up about it so it's nice to see guys talking about being kind to themselves because we (all genders) all struggle with it!
this video just set out to make me feel so validated about my recent flare up of adhd traits/issues and so seen when it comes to chronic health issues. fuck yeah.
I never realised that feeling like you have to optimize all of your time (while like not being optimised at all and just getting stressed) was an ADHD thing - I love stardew valley but I can't play it too much because it gets me so stressed about trying to have the most perfectly calibrated day and if I misstep I feel really bad lmao
Super relateable! The CJB Cheats mod makes it less stressful for me, because I can pause time and do a bunch of stuff. Totally understandable if that's not how you want to play though.
I don’t have what Jarvis has, thankful I don’t, but I do have a handful of other issues (not chronic thankfully), and just knowing that I’m even slightly different always just made me feel shit about myself. It’s nice to see someone I look up to so much be able to talk about stuff like this openly, it makes it easier for me and hopefully others to be able to feel more normal. great episode as always, gonna finish it tonight before bed :)
i never knew jarvis and i were in the same boat with our bodies pretending we’re having allergic reactions when we’re not. i’m on nasal spray and allergy medication just so that i can blow my nose like a few times a day instead of literally going thru a box of tissues per day. it’s,, So Rough, i hope it gives u a break soon man
ty for talking so candidly about adhd and executive dysfunction. it's always a comfort to hear others talk abt the exact problems ive had. ive been in a really bad hole w that for months, but i just got a new job thatll give me structure and the money to pay for therapy and a nutritionist. im really excited to feel like a whole person again.
the executive function talk and the bad health spike talk was so refreshing to hear because im going through the exact same thing and ive been feeling so shit. it's always good to know other people are experiencing what i am struggling with, bc it makes me remember im not the reason that this stuff is happening
No health advice, just empathy. As someone with chronic eczema, the experience of not being able to sleep because of the itchiness and subconscious scratching until you bleed is so frustrating and relatable. Hope you begin to feel more well soon!
when you did that bit about needing to be stimulated and how debilitating and stressful it is when that stimulation ends is so real, as someone with adhd and anxiety im so scared if silence for too long and its really comforting hearing that other people share this same problem
Feeling real called out for putting on this video to fill the dead air between finishing dinner and choosing a record to listen to while I anxiety clean before my friends come over
i'm catching up on the podcasts but jarvis tysm for talking about your mental health! i'm disabled, in my twenty and very mentally ill BUT the part about feeling peace only really when i'm about to fall asleep hit hard. this is what sent me down the rabbit hole of addiction because I wanted so badly to feel sleepy and i've always thought it was something that was just my brain hating me idk. I know you guys don't read comments but this comment section has always been a very positive place for me- per usual whoever is reading this ily I appreciate you 💛
The conversations about physical and mental health are beyond valuable! Thank you!! I was only recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and hearing you guys talk about it helps me learn about myself :) everything Jarvis said about always having something in my ear and feeling at peace when I’m super tired resonates so hard
preface to say i do not have the same skin problem as jarvis but I have been dealing with chronic psoriasis (mainly on my scalp) for the past 6 years now and I get it dude. genuinely I know how it feels to have that incessant urge to itch and scratch and I think adhd makes it about a hundred times worse because one of the many effects that adhd has on the brain is lowered impulse control and that makes it so much harder to deal with issues like chronic skin conditions. it's also horrible trying to see a dermatologist and have them basically write off your pain and suffering as a symptom of your mental illness, like yes my adhd DOES make it a lot harder to NOT scratch at my scalp but that doesn't mean my scalp is like fucking phantom itching or something??? also shoutout to both of y'all for speaking so bluntly about your various mental health struggles (I personally have adhd, depression, anxiety, & am autistic as well) and it is so (weirdly maybe) heartwarming to know that others have the same/similar experiences and are also just out here doin their best. it's just nice to hear people who can relate to my own (often fairly specific to my different conditions) experiences and feelings and it's kinda validating tbh. anyway i love y'all and thank you p.s. i would listen to y'all talk about only baldur's gate for 2 hours (sadly i can't afford the patreon rn but hopefully soon)
Systems are so key when you have unpredictable executive function. I've spent the past 2 months 3d printing a wall storage system where all my work supplies are organized up in front of my workbench. It all has a place so it goes back easier and the effort to find it is low..also not buying stuff you already have. I've moved onto my cabinets and other storage improvements and decluttering. I know that when I finally start making art again it will be smoother and hopefully I won't get derailed so easily. My brain has the space for creativity even after a my day job.
wow, I often relate to the stuff in this podcast but i’ve never felt so so relieved after hearing them talking about the decision paralysis and like “trying to find the optimal path”, I struggle with this so so much and have recently been expressing that to people in my life and the most understanding response i got was “yea i guess i feel that sometimes”, i thought i was crazy
this podcast is just constantly articulating experiences i've never been able to express myself and i'm so appreciative to have someone understand like this
I know you guys probably get praised for how you talk about mental health a lot but my adhd behaviors drive me insane so often and hearing you two discuss adhd makes me feel like such a fucking normal person and I am all here for it. Thank you for doing what you guys do
as someone who's also experienced a really bad physical health flareup of all my disorders this winter as well, I feel you so hard Jarvis. It's so frustrating to wake up everyday, take the meds, and just hope it doesn't get any worse without actually knowing what will happen. A lot of people can take pain meds or antihistamine's without having to worry about them not doing anything or causing adverse reactions, but for some (like myself), it's always a guessing game, and it's really scary for me to take as needed medications because half the time it works, and half the time it makes me even more sick. Autoimmune disease is so frustrating and unpredictable, and I hope your flareup gets better soon bc I know how debilitating they can be.
i don’t have that specific (i think) hive issue, but i also experience chronic hives. mine are mostly just annoying but i understand the feeling just being so itchy. sending support and love
14:35 OMG the worst part is that I’m allergic to basically all dish soap so I have to take off my rubber gloves too. This first ADHD talk portion is exactly what I needed right now
I don’t have a chronic illness but I have horrible seasonal depression and the motivation problems and diet is too relatable, wishing yall the best:)!!
I have never felt more seen, than when Jarvis said “the anxiety of a video ending while doing the dishes” that hit
Right?? I have to carefully pick a video to put on that’s long enough for me to either finish the task, or hit a good clean/dry hands point to put on something else. Huge when cooking and I know I’ll have to handle raw meat. Not touching my phone, nor breaking in the middle to switch videos, and lord I do not want to live in that Sonic’s-almost-out-of-air anxiety while dealing with the sensory nightmare of raw chicken hands.

yeah, being called """high-functioning""" by others when I literally can't work is........an experience. I haven't heard the phrase higher-masking before but that really fits my experience too.
i would’ve barely laughed at “mama may i have cookie” if jarvis and jordan didn’t absolutely lose it 😭 so fucking funny
As an immigration paralegal, huge congrats to Jordan for making it to the next step in the immigration process. Each stage is such a sigh of relief and each approval should be celebrated. Seems like you're working with great lawyers that have your back throughout these incredibly stressful proceedings
wow as someone else who has chronic urticaria since i was 4 or 5 years old, I really appreciate you talking about it, jarvis. i rarely ever even hear people mention the name (besides doctors and other eps of this podcast, of course) so it is just really validating to hear you speak on it. hope your flare up calms down soon… I know how irritating and uncomfortable it can be!
Same, its really nice to hear other people talk about it! Mine got so intensely bad when i became an adult that it practically ruined my early 20's. Xolair has been such a lifesaver omg
@@jackal2654 oh man, mine was mainly bad in my childhood (elementary school was especially frustrating because kids didn’t understand it) but it’s mainly calmed down now besides the occasional flare up. I’m glad to hear something has been helping you too!
I’ve been dealing with it too. It’s absolute hell.
CIU is crazy horrible and it doesn't help that a lot of people can't understand how maddening it is to be itchy all the time so they don't take it seriously. My most recent flare up (a few years back), I spent months just listening to audiobooks so that I didn't have to move and make the itching worse. In the end it cleared up from a combination of omalizumab and IVIG but gods was it expensive. IIRC it's very rare for people to have a flare up last more than 2 years, but that's still far FAR too long.
Also, I reckon it has a genetic component just based on looking at my own family history
Same 😩 I had an episode that lasted about a year, and had no idea it was chronic urticaria for months, none of my doctors even suggested it was that until I saw an allergist. I'm nervous about it coming back but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Trying to be productive while your whole body is constantly itchy is horrible and I would not wish it on anyone.
@1:59:46 “No misdemeanors, no mister meaners” is one of the funniest things said this whole podcast and it went so under the radar 😂
Jarvis talking about being most at peace when he's tired (bc it removes some anxiety) really resonated with me. I think that's why I enjoy the sedating effects of MJ in my daily life.
nonstop laughter w the soulmate ear thing. didnt think it could keep getting funnier.
perfect podcast to watch after getting your wisdom teeth out
Literally my wisdom teeth are growing in as we speak. This comment was a sign to get them pulled
Crazy that’s exactly what I’m doing rn
i got mine taken out 2 days ago!
@@exacto0 I just got mine out yesterday and I’m already mad I can’t eat my fav foods 😭😂
Feel better! Mine healed fairly quickly
I understand the whole crying when meeting your idols/being overwhelmed thing…I had front row tickets to Janet Jackson and she waved hi to me… then she starting singing Scream and I was bawling uncontrollably and it was completely involuntary lol
Valid.
I don't have what Jarvis has but I do have eczema where I scratch myself so hard I bleed and it's nice to hear someone candidly talk about this without awkwardness because it shouldn't be awkward.
same! mine's also been like ridiculously bad this winter, i swear to god there's actually something going on environmentally
@@cori742 FR
@@cori742 LITERALLY!! my eczema hasnt flared up in a few years but this winter it came back out of nowhere 😭
@@marisolbecerra06 fwiw, i finally got mine back under control by keeping it covered in organic cotton, as many layers as i could stand, and getting it damp first. every time the skin dries out it damages itself more, so anything you can do to make sure it doesn’t fully dry will help it to heal! coconut oil (and occasionally mct oil with lavender essential oil) was also a lifesaver 😫
@@cori742 thank you! for me personally aveeno lotion gets the job done, although it sounds like yours is a little more intense than mine lol
As someone with chronic hives, it's really nice to hear someone else talk about it. I don't think I've heard anybody else online discuss chronic hives and it's weirdly comforting to hear people describe the things I'm going through. I'm glad it seems like anti-histamines help Jarvis, but they never were able to fully get rid of my hives so my doctors have had me on xolair for two years and it has really helped :) I hope Jarvis feels better soon, it's truly so difficult to function when you have hives
Man you’re so lucky. I’m in the same boat with anti histamines not working but I got a blood test and it showed xolair wouldn’t work for me either.
@@possumfrog i’m so sorry, hives are actually the worst. i spent so much time not being able to figure out what worked (every anti-histamine on the market, steroids, etc) and i could barely function. i hope it gets better for you
Eyyyy Xoliar fam! It only cleared up my CSU and delayed pressure utri at 450mg every two weeks 🙃 an my insurance keeps trying to cancel it for to high a dose. Went from Jan to jun this year without it and literally I can’t even think about the possibility of going through it again (TW:unalive/thoughts of) like I’ve never been su*cidl but going through that was the closest I’ve ever been 😮💨
I don’t have chronic urticaria but my mom does and I have some overlapping stuff - I will say when I’m having an autoimmune flare-up I also deal with a lot of executive dysfunction - I have trouble mustering enough focus to do even shallow work. And there is research out there that addresses the effect inflammation can have on the brain. Proud of you for showing up anyways and I hope you find treatment that improves your life quality 💜
" mama may i have cookie 🐀" lives in my head rent free now 😭
This video autoplayed while I'm building a piece of furniture...😅
fated to be
You fulfilled the prophecy
Jarvis explaining sports is very educational and interesting as a non sports fan. Love it
I love listening to the convo about “I need to be watching smth at all times” cuz sadboyz is that for me, this is what I watch while playing my mobile games with all the ads 😂
talking about needing something like a podcast in the background while doing something as I’m listening to this podcast because I need something in the background while doing something
I think this video triggered something in me because I just started cleaning out my "untitled" desktop folder a.k.a. my guest room/craft room!
Of course it now looks like a tornado went through, but sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. Looking forward to the next Sad Boyz so I can listen to you guys while I keep organizing!
Might just be me, but I would love a "The Boyz talk Baldur's Gate 3" 5 hour long episode.....
Lol I'm only here because I found a recent episode where they suddenly reveal they're so deep in BG3 and I'm like guys... how can you keep this out of most of the episodes???
That part about something ending while doing the dishes was SO TARGETED LMAOOO
Wait do I have ADHD lol
@@alyssamendoza7708i just had the same train of thought
I've watched you guys a lot recently, but I've never related to anyone as much as I related to the first 12mins of this episode. Made me feel so much less alone and alien. Thank you.
i have had similar problems with chronic urticaria, especially scratching/rubbing off patches of skin. it was weirdly cool to hear you mention that! i also get cold weather urticaria, so have never been able to use cold compresses or ice to battle itching. PERSONALLY, when its very bad, it has helped me to use a heating pad or similar on the itchy area. hope some fucking good health and happiness can flare up in you
Heating pad and ice work for me! Also I’ve gotten prescription ointment. I’ve found lotion for bug bites or eczema helps too and helps keep me from scratching my skin off.
Oh my god I feel like no one has cold urticaria !! I had no idea what was wrong for the longest time it’s so frustrating when it gets to your fingers
47:20 jordan kicking his feet with this little attitude i love him so much
Bless this for hitting right when I have 2 hours left in my work shift.
The best tweet to come out about the 49ers and the Super Bowl was hands down "learning the rules to your own game at the same time as Ice Spice is crazyyy"
15 minutes in and I feel so seen and so understood man! I'm gonna cry 😢.
I'm feeling that mental health struggle exactly the same.
I also just said to a friend "my body is deteriorating". We will weather chronic illness winter together brother ✊
2 hour episode? hell yeah
Hearing you guys talk about the option paralysis and need for planning out efficiency was really validating. Thanks for doing what you do!!!!
Oh my god, this is my moment. As someone who spent five years with chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema, for me it was linked to my thyroid condition (I’m sure you’ve had your thyroid checked throughout this, but if you haven’t, definitely do) but the only thing that finally had it die down was getting out of an abusive relationship. It makes sense because my doctors had told me flare ups could be triggered by stress and being in that situation stressed me out a lot, but seeing the huge physical change after leaving him was wild. Good luck Jarvis, I know it’s really hard and I appreciate you talking about it. 🖤
I have mast cell activation syndrome and stress (good and bad) plays SUCH a big part of my symptom flares. Even just laughing too hard can trigger an asthma attack and a flare.
So glad you got out of a stressful situation and found some symptom relief! ❤
"mama i want cookie" was funny but the way yall laughed at it made it like 10x funnnier
so glad you talk about chronic urticaria some days it can be SO draining and make me and im sure others feel bad about our skin and looks
I really hope Jarvis and Jordan realize how helpful it is for so many of us when they talk about health issues and the stuff that a lot of us go through. I don’t have what Jarvis has but I have chronic pain, fatigue, and stomach issues. The last few months I literally haven’t been able to take care of myself. My mom has had to help me get to doctors and physical therapy and I’m on so many fucking meds it’s insane. I think my physical problems have left me so mentally fatigued as well, that that my ADHD has been running *rampant* even with Adderall 😵💫
I also get that up and down Jarvis describes, where I just can’t do shit and then I eventually go back to “high functioning”. It doesn’t help that I have AuDHD, so it’s also hard to properly put into words or communicate with most people, what’s going on in my head. It’s exhausting.
But the laughs at the end from the soulmate POV’s were killer 😂
*mAmA* I’m fuckin dead 💀🤣
I know. The executive function discussion got me on a Google deep dive. And an hour later while still watching the video I now have an appointment to possibly get diagnosed with ADHD.
Appreciate how much of a comfy listen this always is. Came for the funnies stayed for the vulnerability.
I always struggle with executive dysfunction but the way yall talked about it helped me stop beating myself up over it for long enough to do some unpacking I've been putting off for months. I still have plenty of other stuff to do to clean but that little step was really helpful. Always appreciate you 💕
This episode was what I was using to tear myself away from playing baldurs gate for hours and hours on end… and then the baldurs gate talk started
i have adhd and bipolar disorder and i love that i can watch sadboyz knowing i'll be able to relate to either or both jarvis and jordan each time
It's really nice to hear you two talk about struggling with ADHD and depression/anxiety and the kinds of systems you build for yourself because it's so chill but also I feel like a lot of dudes with ADHD do not ever talk about it vs. like a lot more women now are opening up about it so it's nice to see guys talking about being kind to themselves because we (all genders) all struggle with it!
this video just set out to make me feel so validated about my recent flare up of adhd traits/issues and so seen when it comes to chronic health issues. fuck yeah.
I never realised that feeling like you have to optimize all of your time (while like not being optimised at all and just getting stressed) was an ADHD thing - I love stardew valley but I can't play it too much because it gets me so stressed about trying to have the most perfectly calibrated day and if I misstep I feel really bad lmao
Super relateable! The CJB Cheats mod makes it less stressful for me, because I can pause time and do a bunch of stuff. Totally understandable if that's not how you want to play though.
I don’t have what Jarvis has, thankful I don’t, but I do have a handful of other issues (not chronic thankfully), and just knowing that I’m even slightly different always just made me feel shit about myself. It’s nice to see someone I look up to so much be able to talk about stuff like this openly, it makes it easier for me and hopefully others to be able to feel more normal. great episode as always, gonna finish it tonight before bed :)
i never knew jarvis and i were in the same boat with our bodies pretending we’re having allergic reactions when we’re not. i’m on nasal spray and allergy medication just so that i can blow my nose like a few times a day instead of literally going thru a box of tissues per day. it’s,, So Rough, i hope it gives u a break soon man
Seems like everyone I know is having bad health rn. Thanks for talking about what you feel comfortable with it's nice to hear solidarity!
ty for talking so candidly about adhd and executive dysfunction. it's always a comfort to hear others talk abt the exact problems ive had. ive been in a really bad hole w that for months, but i just got a new job thatll give me structure and the money to pay for therapy and a nutritionist. im really excited to feel like a whole person again.
the executive function talk and the bad health spike talk was so refreshing to hear because im going through the exact same thing and ive been feeling so shit. it's always good to know other people are experiencing what i am struggling with, bc it makes me remember im not the reason that this stuff is happening
I appreciate the chatting about the difficulties of ADHD and how it can ebb and flow. Going through a pretty rough patch with it recently
From one person w chronic illnesses to another, I feel your pain. Hope it gets more manageable soon ❤
the fart segment was the wildest 5 minutes I’ve ever watched
jordan clearly hearing the diseased wet fart sound effect for the first time has had me in pain laughing for like 5 minutes straight
No health advice, just empathy. As someone with chronic eczema, the experience of not being able to sleep because of the itchiness and subconscious scratching until you bleed is so frustrating and relatable. Hope you begin to feel more well soon!
when you did that bit about needing to be stimulated and how debilitating and stressful it is when that stimulation ends is so real, as someone with adhd and anxiety im so scared if silence for too long and its really comforting hearing that other people share this same problem
The forensic auditory flatulence analysis is impeccable
Feeling real called out for putting on this video to fill the dead air between finishing dinner and choosing a record to listen to while I anxiety clean before my friends come over
the youtube watching while dishes part called me the FUCK out 😞
i'm catching up on the podcasts but jarvis tysm for talking about your mental health! i'm disabled, in my twenty and very mentally ill BUT the part about feeling peace only really when i'm about to fall asleep hit hard. this is what sent me down the rabbit hole of addiction because I wanted so badly to feel sleepy and i've always thought it was something that was just my brain hating me idk. I know you guys don't read comments but this comment section has always been a very positive place for me- per usual whoever is reading this ily I appreciate you 💛
Literally was just thinking “hey it’s Friday, I wonder if the pod is up yet”
*Uploaded 1 minute ago* 😮
14:53 this is how I ended up watching Mike's Mic tell me about every season of Pretty Little Liars six different times. No regrets?
The irony of me building ikea furniture while I watch this
The conversations about physical and mental health are beyond valuable! Thank you!! I was only recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and hearing you guys talk about it helps me learn about myself :)
everything Jarvis said about always having something in my ear and feeling at peace when I’m super tired resonates so hard
preface to say i do not have the same skin problem as jarvis but I have been dealing with chronic psoriasis (mainly on my scalp) for the past 6 years now and I get it dude. genuinely I know how it feels to have that incessant urge to itch and scratch and I think adhd makes it about a hundred times worse because one of the many effects that adhd has on the brain is lowered impulse control and that makes it so much harder to deal with issues like chronic skin conditions. it's also horrible trying to see a dermatologist and have them basically write off your pain and suffering as a symptom of your mental illness, like yes my adhd DOES make it a lot harder to NOT scratch at my scalp but that doesn't mean my scalp is like fucking phantom itching or something???
also shoutout to both of y'all for speaking so bluntly about your various mental health struggles (I personally have adhd, depression, anxiety, & am autistic as well) and it is so (weirdly maybe) heartwarming to know that others have the same/similar experiences and are also just out here doin their best. it's just nice to hear people who can relate to my own (often fairly specific to my different conditions) experiences and feelings and it's kinda validating tbh. anyway i love y'all and thank you
p.s. i would listen to y'all talk about only baldur's gate for 2 hours (sadly i can't afford the patreon rn but hopefully soon)
related to this podcast really hard this week, it means a lot to hear all of this from other people especially in such a friendly setting
Systems are so key when you have unpredictable executive function. I've spent the past 2 months 3d printing a wall storage system where all my work supplies are organized up in front of my workbench. It all has a place so it goes back easier and the effort to find it is low..also not buying stuff you already have. I've moved onto my cabinets and other storage improvements and decluttering. I know that when I finally start making art again it will be smoother and hopefully I won't get derailed so easily. My brain has the space for creativity even after a my day job.
fart w. reverb always hits it's so funny lmao
Jarvis's blanket is giving Ramen noodles square
i need y'all to do more fart sound effects reviews. I haven't laughed that much in so long
wow, I often relate to the stuff in this podcast but i’ve never felt so so relieved after hearing them talking about the decision paralysis and like “trying to find the optimal path”, I struggle with this so so much and have recently been expressing that to people in my life and the most understanding response i got was “yea i guess i feel that sometimes”, i thought i was crazy
this podcast is just constantly articulating experiences i've never been able to express myself and i'm so appreciative to have someone understand like this
real and same
My favorite time of the week yet again
I love this podcast it’s my favorite thing to watch while I’m doing the Dishes lol called out what’s happens to me everyday
Jarvis and Jordan PLEASE upload a full-length episode just talking about your bg3 playthroughs and impressions of the characters for us plebes
I know you guys probably get praised for how you talk about mental health a lot but my adhd behaviors drive me insane so often and hearing you two discuss adhd makes me feel like such a fucking normal person and I am all here for it. Thank you for doing what you guys do
as someone who's also experienced a really bad physical health flareup of all my disorders this winter as well, I feel you so hard Jarvis. It's so frustrating to wake up everyday, take the meds, and just hope it doesn't get any worse without actually knowing what will happen.
A lot of people can take pain meds or antihistamine's without having to worry about them not doing anything or causing adverse reactions, but for some (like myself), it's always a guessing game, and it's really scary for me to take as needed medications because half the time it works, and half the time it makes me even more sick. Autoimmune disease is so frustrating and unpredictable, and I hope your flareup gets better soon bc I know how debilitating they can be.
despite me not giving a single shit abt any sport i could listen to jarvis and anastasia talk and the nba all day long
1:31:35 Watching both of your faces change after hearing the cookie line was the highlight of my week
i don’t have that specific (i think) hive issue, but i also experience chronic hives. mine are mostly just annoying but i understand the feeling just being so itchy. sending support and love
so sweet the way jarvis is so quick to say "yeah ill call you" when jordan asks 🥺 true friendship
14:35 OMG the worst part is that I’m allergic to basically all dish soap so I have to take off my rubber gloves too.
This first ADHD talk portion is exactly what I needed right now
As someone (UK 32m) who has absolutely 0 interest in sports let alone American sports, listening to Jarvis explaining them is still very pleasent
I don’t have a chronic illness but I have horrible seasonal depression and the motivation problems and diet is too relatable, wishing yall the best:)!!
the discussion about videos playing while doing the dishes is way too meta, the Boyz occupy my premium Dish Doing Video real estate
