Feel kinda bad for him, the first guy. His eyes says a lot. I think this really opened up a lot of wounds for him. I hope he is doing well.
ew no he's a colonizer

PTSD is no joke. It’s admirable to see the support he received
Agreed. I had a graphic design teacher that shrugged mine off as no big deal (I have ptsd from surgeries and hospital procedures, too many to mention in one comment)
Needless to say, I am no longer in Graphic Design.
It is absolutely important to talk about, but even more importantly with the right people.
I lost my childhood cousin from bad PTSD he fought in that Afghanistan war in Iraq that Osama Bin Laden started. I hope he is resting in peace now.
Nobody at any point in this video suggested that ptsd is a joke.. you’re the only one who had that thought 👀
@@bribee1346 they were just putting it out there. Some people just don’t get it. I’ve had several people not get it at all (like what I mentioned in my comment)
So true. I suffer from PTSD and almost every other day I be wanting to take my life but then I think about my babies and my parents. I'm constantly depressed, stressed and so tired of life.
You know it's really bad when they have to engage with people rather than having them react immediately on their own! I hate to say it but this season is so weird and disappointing to me
Agreed honestly. But I appreciate the subject matter being discussed.
No this season is not weird
I think it's because society is out of control !
If u get into other ppls situations, some ppl will take it offensely if u jump into their business
And in these times some ppl are so unstable they'll pull out a gun on someone - for nothing!
It's sad that this is the world we live in now
We have to be cautious...to even help one another
Smh
yeah that’s so cringe
Exactly!! I was commenting the same thing. This episode was a turn off. (All for the clicks, huh?)
People are minding their own business more and more 😂 they gotta ask the people for their opinion
Everyone is unstable sometimes so I rather not get hurt or killed butting into someone else’s business sucks but it’s life now
I would mind my business too😭😭The world getting crazier by the day🤣
Love the fact they put a helpline number at the end.
Biggest respect to anyone who has served their country.
was diagnosed with ptsd 3 years ago due to abuse, bullying in family and school. most people just tell me to meditate more, get over it or even "dont be so sensitive and weak". If it's that easy, i wouldn't pay so much to see a doctor.
You having ptsd doesn’t make you weak, you choosing not to give up makes you strong.
I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks due to suffering for 4 years with epilepsy and a stroke. My relatives tell me the same thing. If it were that easy to just not think about it. I hope you can overcome it.
@@reignbalboai totally agree with you.
It's different when you have PTSD due to being in the military
Please elaborate your comment. Thank you. @@Juann-je8gq
A topic that is well needed to be addressed. Please don't rush making the videos for quick content. I rather wait for better content than rushed with lower quality.
Yeah they're shitty lately with that woman who's trying too hard
I think they already made the season before they could hear the feedback. That’s how tf works. Make the show’s whole season, then slowly release each episode.
@@nobbyfirefly57 Then their quality is slipping up and they're going to lose viewers by doing that. It seems rushed, and they are just going for the first few responses.
Chill out bruhhh💀💀💀
My mom was an army vet. Getting help from the va was a joke. She took her life five years ago after not only dealing with ptsd of war but from the abuse of an ex husband ontop of that. She wasnt taken seriously, the courts even said she was just a liar. She was only 39. Ptsd is no joke and the current support just is NOT enough and honestly sometimes neglected
I'm so very, very sorry. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to you. There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ENOUGH help , support for our vets. They all deserve so much more. They deserve better. RIP momma 🕊️❤️🕊️
Thank you its appreciated ❤️🩹 she was a very kind soul. Growing up a military brat i unfortunately was exposed to alot of soldiers taking their lives and familes of those doing the same and those who dont still struggle. Im not incredibly religious but i pray for those who fell and those still fighting and hope things change for the better soon ❤️🩹❤️
I am so sorry. 😢
I am so sorry ❤
And this is why many people are deciding not to ever go near serving the government because that's really what the military does whether you want to admit it or not. They use people who buy into the very nice sounding idea of "you're going to fight to keep people safe" when in reality the military carries out the agendas of The Powers That Be. They use them and dispose of them and after, they're told to go live civilian life as if nothing happened. It is ridiculous. I'm sorry people fell for one of the biggest lies ever sold to the public. Now we have countless of homeless veterans or ones who are struggling every day with just being alive and the government does little to nothing about it.
I'm a veteran and this make me cry every. I served in Myanmar millitary junta
Thank you for your service.
Much respect for you. Thank you for your service. I have family/relatives that served as well. You are all heroes to me.
Thank you for helping freedom fly 🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@rheab8543thoughts on smedley butler ?
Thank you for giving us so much. 🇺🇸
I was recently diagnosed with PTSD you have good days and you have bad days
Why do y’all have them talk so loud now lol
"us hearing him talk was not helping his heart" 🥺❤️. What a sweet lady
Veterans are not the only ones who suffer from ptsd.
And no veteran will ever claim to be the only one's who do. We know a lot about it
@@davidfaxon3336 unfortunately, some veterans do claim that they are the only ones who get ptsd. There was a news story here in Dallas-Fort Worth where a veteran claimed that only people who went to war get ptsd.
My son just did 8 years in the Navy. He’s struggling. It’s hard to watch but we are getting all the help he needs. A common thing among veterans is that they all say they want to feel normal again. Heartbreaking. I hear it from my son every single day.
Deployments can be tough
Poor lad ☹️
I thought the whole premise was ‘What would you do?’-not ‘Ask strangers to engage in my business.’ 🙄
Agreed
The point of their show is to have people react. But when they don't get the response they want, obviously they're going to try to provoke a response. 😂
Exactly
It is what would you do
Its not uncommon for the actors to go up to the targets that did it in the older episodes too, that being said shits a hard topic to bring up and discuss. They all obviously cared but didnt know how to approach the situation, thats not abnormal either
Whether you were in the military or not people struggle with mental health, and honestly this country does a very poor job of giving help to those who need it.
Yess i live in africa we live a harmonious life we share everything,my little cousin went to the US and got depressed he is struggling with mental illness now
You know it's really bad when they have to engage with people rather than having them react immediately on their own! I hate to say it but this season is so weird and disappointing to me!
I completely agree with you. It feels very unrealistic
I agree as well. It so forced this season!
Did you take that other person’s comment or is it the other way around? 🤔 🤨
Society is changing, people are less likely to help or jump in because the fear of being reprimanded for not minding their own business. But yeah I agree this season is not good at all and feels very forced…it’s called “what would you do?” not “what would you do after we approach you?”
Remember wwyd was a pre covid type show. Society has changes a bit for better or worse.
Sorry but this show is not the same anymore. Having actors basically forcing a situation by starting the conversation defeats the entire purpose of the show. Might as well end it
Totally agree
But you got to think about it that's how people are unless you engage with them a great majority of them they don't care, they would look without saying anything
You must live a privileged life if these are the things you come and complain and whine about on the Internet.
Says the one here in the youtube comment section finding random comments to argue about. I guess that makes it two of us then, sweetheart
i think this just indicates society has become more individualistic.
My granddaddy has ptsd and he wears a bracelet but sometimes people don’t pay attention. Sometimes he struggles and reenacts the war. When he goes into this mode it’s best to let him talk it out and release his feelings and try to be there best I can for him. He does go to therapy and does group activities with other veterans . Prayers for everyone going through this
It’s a blessing to have a family that sounds as supportive, and empathetic, as yours is.
I have it and it is no joke at all. It is so hard when you struggle every day no matter what happens. I have been in therapy for 8 years.
I suffer from PTSD due to a childhood trauma and stuff I went through with a mentally emotionally abusive situation for many years. It’s not fun at all and the triggers are the worse. I don’t know the military PTSD feelings and their struggles but I can say it sucks.
I have PTSD from abuse in my childhood-some days are better than others and I’m fortunate to have people supporting me, but, it’s still horrific to deal with at times and it’s heart-warming to see people caring for the actors.
Welcoming two dogs into my life and home has helped me so much in dealing with this disorder and the trauma I suffered.
These are starting to become unbelievable, like, I would never talk so loudly about personal things in public. What would I do? Look for the cameras.
Can see why the older videos are better and the new ones poorly overdone despite the right concept.
Last lady said it all “no man left behind” 💜💜💜
"hi im john quinones and this is what would you do if you were approached by a stranger and asked for advice"
Every WWYD video now seems to have to force interaction with public. It’s quite cringe in comparison to the older videos where genuine engagement happened in most videos.
Some subjects require more tact. Some people are not cut out to interact. But I hear ya
@@sescher4487 agreed. Just seems like any of the episodes from the last year are pushing it more into peoples face. A lot of those scenarios have been run before, I guess society has also changed over the years.
Different time now
Fair point, although sometimes they'll have to engage somehow but overdoing it now these days.
i think what it actually is is the newer scenarios are more about private conversations that are uncomfortable and inappropriate in a public setting. i wouldn’t reach out in this scenario, not because i don’t care, but because i have no business meddling with a stranger’s mental health and marriage. i think we’d be seeing a different response if they were doing more scenarios about abuse or injustices. i mean, even the second to last woman that approached the actress first did so because she thought the actress was in danger.
“No man left behind” can’t be said any better. ⚓️
Im happy people treated this with respect when they found out this was acting🙏🏿. I've seen a lot of people get upset over stuff like this..
„We asked our actors to approach bystanders directly“ is so bad, it hurts to see this show go down.
This topic really needs to be talked about more because so many of our military are struggling
I lived in Dallas for several years, The VA out there is overwhelmed and understaffed. Every year they have a team go out and count all of the Homeless veterans in the DFW area. About 6 years ago, my mother was a part of that team. She was gone for 4 days and their final count concluded more than 700,000 .... Homeless Veterans... with everything from PTSD to Alcoholism and drug abuse, Even ones that became homeless due to service-connected disabilities that prevented them from working in the civilian world. My mom was a drill sergeant for 8 years, she was in Desert Storm and also had PTSD. She did a total of 27 years in the service. I'd never seen her the same way after that census, she had become a different, more somber woman after that experience. I wish there was more that Texas and the nation as a whole could do to provide better access and better quality of care and recovery services for these brave and broken people who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. They deserve far more than just discounts, t-shirts, and free hot meals on Veterans and Memorial days. What they get and have access to now, it's truly just not enough.
You mean 700,000 nationwide right? 700,000 for just the dallas forth worth area sounds wrong. If the number was that high the entire area would look like skid row in Los Angeles. Los Angeles doesn't have that many homeless total and that metro area is way larger.
Yes, they counted ALL the veterans in the Entire DFW Metroplex. And it was an assignments she took on for 4 years. The Metroplex Isn't JUST Dallas, it Includes Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, and the smaller surrounding cities like Rockwall, Mesquite, DeSoto, Frisco, Plano, Garland, Rowlett, and Several others. Today the total population of the Metroplex combined is roughly 8.1 Million people.... its hard to believe isnt it?
@@duitk thats wayyy too ssmall to be nationwide. More than 100 thousand people move to that area every year.
@@MisaKeiJune the census says it's close to 600,000 total homeless people in the entire country, you can Google it . That makes sense, 700,000 in the Dallas area alone would mean that close to 1/5 of the population is homeless, that would not be a crisis it would be an apocalypse the total breakdown of society. There is a caviat to this, 8.5 million have at one point experienced some sort of homelessness, it's just that most people end up being temporary homeless and are able to pull themselves out of it.
I am not trying to make light of the situation, it's a huge crisis but the numbers are not to that level.
This was an amazing episode. Thank you for bringing this topic to light. So many people hear about it, see it & feel it, not many speak up or offer guidance or care. This was so good to see. Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to all the military and their family. THANK YOU for giving so much to ensure our freedom. 🇺🇸 My grandfather fought in Bay of Pigs in the 60's and it took him years to recover.
I'm bipolar with PTSD and suicidal ideations. I wasn't in the military. My damage is based in childhood traumas. I know how it feels, and I'm so sorry to all vets who come home and not getting the mental health support from the govt that they so deserve.
I have PTSD from having to have multiple surgeries and a few near death experiences. It doesn’t just apply to vets. Others with PTSD do exist out there! I wish that it was talked about in other people more, not just vets. I get why, but I would like to see others validated too.
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16
Not trying to be mean but it's not about yall. It's about us veterans who serve our country and got PTSD while serving. The majority of people have some kind of childhood trauma including myself but its not same.
I've experienced PTSD due to a past toxic relationship. I understand everyone's point of view and that PTSD occurs in many different situations. But what I think this episode was trying to highlight was the difficulties that veterans face when returning to society. Loud noises can trigger memories and emotions of the past.
For the veterans they were in an immediate 'life or death', situation. They didn't know if they were returning home to their families alive or in a body bag. More needs to be done to help them adjust to society. More needs to be done in regards to mental health for everyone.
I don't why these episodes haven't been hitting like the old ones...
Thank you everyone for your service!
I know that feeling all too well 💔 I am currently battling PTSD after my family and I survived a tragic house a year ago 🙏🙏🙏
This latest season has been such a disappointment.
In every episode, in every scene, they cut the beauty and discovery of every interaction right when it gets going, during or before the learning and teaching and growing begins.
It's too bad. A real waste.
Love how this world is changing ❤ ten or twenty years ago, many people might think you were odd for talking like that or even to step in would look down upon. Now there is more education on mental health and people are more aware and likely to get involved or share their own experiences ❤😭 this really touched my heart
My uncle served in the army long before I was born. He suffers from PTSD too. I do too. Granted, mine comes from being constantly bullied in school when I was little, but still. PTSD is very real, and can be dangerous if left untreated. Whenever I see my uncle, I always hug him, and I think that helps him a lot. Hugs are one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of comfort and affection. That’s what I love about hugs, ever since I was little.
LOL the two bystander ladies moved away, because of actors acting unrealistically loud, and they moved away to be left alone and to not be disturbed and the producers ask the actress to approach those strangers directly with her private problems, disturbs them and does not leave them alone. The downfall of this show is a disappointment.
Nothing really "unrealistic" about it.
I have a TBI & PTSD from my time in the Army. I served my 20, and it’s been very hard trying to adjust back to civilian life. I have good days and bad days, and I just always have to be mindful of the things that trigger me. I have tried the traditional route through the VA, with little success. Nowadays I try things a little out of the box, using methods that have worked for some of my brothers & sisters who’ve also served. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet many great people along the way on my journey to healing, and I’m looking forward to a day when I can maybe feel “normal” again.
Every episode I break down in tears😭
This made Me cry
Roses are red
Violets are blue
When somebody is screaming, that's what would you do
Glad someone helped
In general all these scenarios, the actors are talking waaaaay to loud. Take it down a notch to take it up a notch
Thank you for this! As a Mother of Veteran Suicide, it warms my heart to see total strangers reaching out to our Veterans and their spouse like that! If you are a struggling Veteran, PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEONE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
This tears me up so hard.
The last person is just so friendly and an overall great human just like the rest of them
PTSD , it's a long time to heal. Been in therapy 13 years. I get everything in the video. It's so hopeless because it gets so OLD. You just want to be yourself again and I can hardly remember who I was or can't imagine how I was that way. I miss me. I appreciate this video because it hits on so many of the big key things that are so hard to push through.
Hope❤
Ive never heard of that program but it sure seems super nice
I Hope that program continues to expand, improve and help alot of our veterans out
As a therapist, this breaks my heart.
Glad the lady prayed
The equivalent of doing absolutely nothing.
I love these ones they're so much more realistic and believable compared to the more recent ones and they illicit more of a genuine and thoughtful reaction
My little brother was killed in 2001 at the age of 20 years old doing border patrol. He was shot multiple times. Vets put their lives on the line for us.❤
I love this video and the guy who hosts this show and I love all charities who help war heroes after the war history
I’m had secret ptsd. But I’m not veteran. I trying to normal and friendly. I was bullied and judging to everyone.
I know exactly how you feel I’m sorry
This show is losing ideas and losing the plot , now its screaming out loud or actually talking and forcing people to speak up
This hit way too close to home for me. I have PTSD from being neglected and abused in my early childhood, and being molested in middle school, and being abused and mistreated in my transition program I was in for 2 and a half years.
That woman prayed with her 😢😢
God bless our troops. Y all give so much for us, stay strong
1 min in and I am in tears for all the Men and Woman who suffer with PTSD. My dad was a Vet and he would have spoken up he was a great man. God bless and protect these men and women.
I feel his pain .
Our heroes who were willing to give their lives for our freedom deserves respect! Our country is free due those who gave their lives to make it that way! They need support! When you see a homeless person and they are veterans it tears a hole in my heart! This Memorial Day think how much you enjoy freedom. They gave it to us. 🇺🇸
PTSD is no joke. I literally having panic attacks daily due to the memory and reliving it. I can barely do basic tasks because it can trigger it. I have a sh problem because of it. I can barely go out in the real world because of it. I’m working through therapy but it is hard
While I was never in the army, I feel for you. I also have it due to many hospital stays/surgeries. Keep fighting.
I'm glad What Would You Do came back ❤
Oh my God, I am crying a lot❤❤❤😢
‘Leave no man behind….’ So true
I'm glad they did this one. It's so sad. They are not respected they way they should be. They will never be the same after that. All that serviced us need more.
I had a professor who served in Vietnam, son served in Afghanistan. Son came home with PTSD, the VA hospital admitted him. However professor felt that the VA wasn’t working for his son. The priest (I think I got the title right) at their church offered to have several counseling sessions a week with the son. 6 months later son was pretty close to is old self again. Son even said this is really all he wanted (needed).
As someone who’s had ADHD and depression I know mental illness is complicated and unlike physical illness there’s no test that can truly measure how bad things are. Also there’s no one size fits all treatment.
PTSD is not a joke at all I was diagnosed with this condition when I was 16 from child abuse so I kind of sympathize with him and I want to help him dearly this brought me into tears❤❤❤
This one tugged on my heart strings. I've lost 3 very good friends of mine, stellar Marines, by losing the battle at home. Breaks my heart hearing the Marine in this video was also homeless at one point. We have to do better supporting our brothers and sisters. We lose 22 a day. 22 too many. Semper Fi.
This is so cringey because theyre talking so loudly and forcing people to engage. I probably wouldnt say anything either. My dad has pstd from the marines and it comes out in anger alot. It looks different for everyone
Definitely that one flaw as to why I'm not too enthusiastic about this new season of WWYD.
My dad served 32 years active duty united states army he did 4 tours in Iraq and when he got home his PTSD was horrible we lost dad in a motorcycle accident in 2020 and life has been very difficult. Much respect for everyone who put on the uniform and fights for our freedoms. One of the guys who served with my dad in Iraq just committed suicide in January and it's been rough we were really close. These veteran episodes really hit home hard
i hope next season of wwyd will be less rushed
i am a fellow Veteran of 16 years i did 3 deployments to Afghanistan and 1 tour of Iraq and i feel every veterans pain and what really hurts the most is seeing Veterans that are living on the street like they served our Countries and yet they are on the streets and especially here in the UK all these Immigrants etc are getting homes money cars you name it they get it all and the guys and girls that served our Countries are the ones forgotten about and living on the streets with all the mental health problems with the so called Government not offering no help what so ever but you can come to the UK not get any checks done and get absolutely everything they want and this really hurts me and i no its the same with my fellow Brothers and Sisters over in USA may god bless every single one of you
03:50
How tough WAS it?
Really John... I ❤ ya but PTSD doesn’t ever go away.
Once your brain has been broken... it stays broken.
Healing isn't an issue... it's Coping with what you're left with after.
Happy to see that you’re filming In Dallas Texas! I’m from the suburbs of Dallas
Don’t get why they’re cutting it so short? Like at 6:33. Barely got to talk.
I feel like theyre making it too general. Actually show his PTSD. That's not just cartoon reaction to plates. Its a real and serious thing. Not just guy complaining....
If y'all don't mind I'd like to share something very special with all of you my girlfriend Chelsea who's going to be my fiance she served 12 years in the United States Air Force and was deployed to Jordan she came back but it's been a very very rough road for her people of yelled at her screamed at her people have told her it's people like you that we lost Vietnam and she's been through so much but by the grace of God she joined a veteran's non-combat group a lot of support and love and she's on the road to recovery PTSD is nothing to mess around with so that there are any veterans out there please get help and thank you all for your service
I’d give these people a bear hug… 🥰🫡😇
THE BALD HEADED GUY IS THE MOST RACIALLY AMBIGUOUS PERSON I’VE EVER BEEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is good idea, struggles like these tend to be internalised, and when people hear the feelings, it kinda stirs the empathy within.
Every single episode of WWYD touches my heart. There's still goodness in this world.
Love it
When she said “No man left behind, right?” I was in tears. My Son has been in the Navy for 12 years (in August) and with 2 deployments under his belt, it’s a lot for him to deal with. These Men & Women risk their lives daily to protect us, but who protects them when they come back? Thank God for the programs built to help those who need it. The sad thing is, most live with this thinking this is their “New Normal “ and it effects EVERYONE in their lives at no fault of their own.
Come to mesquite tx!! 15 mins outside Dallas yall could do some type of hospitality video
These are so short John !!!
I have many family members who served so Military people need help if they need it. They do so much to protect us.
My mom and dad were soldiers during the Eritrean War of Independence, which lasted 30 years. My dad joined the guerrilla fighters in the 1970s, and my mom joined in the 1980s. They fought against Ethiopia until they defeated the regime that terrorized their country in 1991. I am 23 years old and have never seen my parents show signs of PTSD. They still talk about their history and achievements during that time as if they were on a picnic.
One person said in one of the last videos that production is the ones initiating the conversations and now that’s all I notice. I wonder if people are truly starting to just mind their own business. Still overall an amazing video and great concept!
Great scenario considering a lot of the recent WWYD scenes haven’t been great (rushing off the), but I wish they would use someone that wasn’t in the military because they’ve done this literal scenario before. I have PTSD and I’m sure many others do as well unrelated to military would be great to see how members of the public interact such situations.
I love that they got a real Vet to play the vet with PTSD. Super classy and respectful.
The Last Lady Was Amazing She Talked To The Wide Immediately After Her Actor Husband Left ❤😂
I'd rather the actors don't engage the public directly. 🫣
Seems desperate tbh
Same
For all those brave men and women who have defended their nation in the military thank you for your service. And for all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice Lest We Forget.
😭😭😭😭🙏🏻
idk but coming in early ruins it. stop doing that. let it play out bro.
