I am a brother who takes medication and I go to counselling. I have had my ups and downs but I fight everyday to get myself together. I loved this talk.

Medication is poison and you know it

[@murozman]

[@Babyfacedblackjesus]

@@murozman dead from overdosing on poisonous meds? Yea i feel that. Its no secret that psych meds make you more suicidal and aggressive.

Bro as a Muslims we believe schizophrenia is caused by jinn who possess people, you can watch videos of people being removed from the jinn, search “abu nader jinn”

[@khalid8271]

Yo bro I’ve been diagnosed with Autism. I’m going through depression and anxiety. Everyday I wake up with pain in my heart. Never had an easy childhood due to my autism and family issues. Had to grow up really fast with all the issues I’ve been born with. I was told to be a man when I needed love. It’s ironic now that I can’t feel love and don’t give out love. Pain in my soul. Pain in my mind. Pain in my heart. For all the people suffering from mental health I wish you lot the best and don’t give up. I’m gonna go follow that advice too.

[@giantopinionsports6119]

Thank you for your comment. You can read and write and feel love. Being autistic that seems rare. I feel like you have a silver lining. You seem to have a good heart, good luck in life.

[@lunadabaybrandon]

Ive been dealing with depression for 6 and a half years, and the COVID pandemic made it sooo much worse!! I didn’t realize how much I needed help until recently. It took a lot of nerve, convincing, and tussling to get the help that I needed to change myself. I am now a brother who is on treatment, takes medication daily, and goes to see a psychologist. I have my issues, I had my highs and lows throughout my life, and to this VERY DAY, I still fight for my mental health, and move one step closer to getting myself together.

[@jasonmartinalaska]

Awesome talk! Thank you for your bravery and for sharing your story.

[@frostkid08]

He didn't have to say anything, I teared up...

[@lochan8180]

2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️ (To everyone who's struggling right now, please know that GOD LOVES YOU, TOO. You can completely rely on Him.)

[@dameharris3763]

Thank you for the experience and vulnerability my brother. Peace be the journey! I will share this message. 🏆👊

[@proudgorilla2808]

It's coming to light slowly for many of us. Alot of us don't even realize it for years. I will say from a personal standpoint, I too am in therapy and it was the best decision I made in my life. My wife and kids are so happy, and my life went to a level I thought was not possible at times. If your out there and you come across this message and your contemplating getting treatment please know it's worth it as long as your serious and want to heal it will require honesty, self evaluation, and openness but I can assure you that it's worth it. Choose life and be free!!!

[@Layllen]

This is so powerful and much needed. I love the bravery and vulnerability. We need more of this . Thank you for sharing your story.

[@weready1264]

Real Hip Hop Culture would not influence you to drink or tattoo away your sorrows. What he was referencing was an aspect of African American street culture.

[@germxv]

No.....he was referencing what the white controlled media wants to push and wants to create in the streets in the African American community. Don't buy what they selling. Physically or mentally

Phillip J. Roundtree fails to mention the fact that XXX-Tentacion "savagely beat" one of his girlfriends, and stuck a gun to her head. This woman had to flee the home she was living in. "Those who live by the sword shall surely die by the sword." That includes XXX-Tentacion.
