The fact that Howie came up naturally in conversation and Ethan didn’t bring up/show him the prolapse means he was deep into this interview

Fousey is on stream crying rn saying how thankful he is to the H3 family and calling his mom and dad to tell them how happy he is. I never thought bringing Foosey on would become such a wholesome thing. I hope Foosey can come on again because I think he just gets lost in the sauce, but is a really good guy deep down.

Aww.. I hope he finds some genuine friends, seems like there’s not a lot of people he can open up to and feel understood 😩

[@jamesdoakes4956]

He literally had the chance to apologize for fouseycon and instead double downed on it. But not only did he double down on it, he told the story differently than what he told on no jumper. 11:00 in was 2 different stories

[@annale91]

As an oversharing person myself, I looove when other people are so open about their life and struggles. I believe it helps everyone so much having these conversations. He is such an interesting character. One of the best episodes in my opinion.

Ethan interviews like he's the paparazzi.

[@Leftnip_]

Seriously, listening to two grown men talk about their mental health in an open and honest way like this discussing medication, mania/highs lows, treatment etc. is greatly comforting. You can tell that there is alot of education and learning going on behind the scenes for them both. Thank you for being vulnerable in that way and on a large platform no less. Your comfortability with having discussions about mental health is a great example to lead by for all and especially for other men. Fousey has been through the ringer. He seems like a genuinely nice guy whose been humbled by his struggles - seriously wishing you all the best in your success Fousey! Family!

[@Nooticus]

Haven't watched yet but so looking forward to watching! It really makes me sad how in the minds of most men, people like Tate are revered and people who are working on themselves so much like Fousey are pushed down and made fun of.

[@vexial97]

Totally agree, however Ethan(Not Fousey) needs to realize that anti depressants aren’t meant to be taken all your life. When you break your arm, you don’t wear the cast all your life. You allow it to heal then remove it. So when your brain is broken, you put the cast on(anti depressants) and when it’s time to remove it, you remove it and your brain should be healed. If it isn’t, put the cast back on. But planning on staying on them forever will eventually do more harm than good. It’s been shown to reduce iq, gray matter and other cognitive functions. It is a drug after all. But in no way am I against them.

[@yveltalsea]

@@vexial97 But depression isnt the same thing as having a hard time in your life. For some people, it's a chronic, lifelong struggle. It's not just breaking your arm.

[@vexial97]

@@yveltalsea actually with several studies including a Harvard study that for some reason keeps deleting my comment when I link it(KZbin ugh) the studies have shown that depression is exactly like breaking a bone or tearing a muscle. You’re brain is a muscle, and when broken, it must be fixed. People live with all sorts of chronic illnesses. Life long even. Depression however is something we’ve cured with the technology and knowledge we currently have today. Those who do the proper treatment(such as anti depressants, exercise, dietary changes, etc) have shown a massive increase in improvement to genetically inherited depression. Very neat stuff if you look into it. I advocate for anti depressants but no drug is supposed to be taken for life. The effects are more harm than good. The brain requires sobriety. It’s non negotiable

[@m.a.b.4104]

It is valid that if someone can avoid/reduce the many side effects from medication (while achieving good mental health) by reducing or not taking medication of course they should. But some people cannot maintain quality of life without medication including anti depressants. It varies greatly, from people who find help without medication to people who have to be medicated for life, which is why mental health awareness is so important, as well as getting the right help. Over medication in modern society is a legitimate issue, but if nothing else works medication saves lives.

[@Ssf_55]

Fousey is one hell of a story teller. I was fully engaged the whole time lol

[@jm.Beats.]

Yeah, he's pretty good at twisting fabrications into somewhat true stories.🤦‍♂️

[@narzz5637]

Props to Ethan for listening and asking genuine questions, made me respect him.

[@batmansuenos]

I’m pleasantly surprised how open, honest, and vulnerable Fousey was. Great interview!

[@Mental_Patient]

The honesty part is definitely a surprise

[@iheartchaos]

The fact that he’s so honest and quick to admit if hes in the wrong makes me respect him a lot

[@Escave734]

For sure, one thing that I found hard to take is that he is convincing us he’s not bipolar yet he’s med say otherwise. If it was a woman Ethan may have pushed a bit more. He is a perfect example that both men and woman can be manic yet can go on a good journey. That someone with bipolar/bpd as a man can be medicated, vulnerable, strong and can succeed

[@darkwebgirl]

...Google Juan G. He doesn't exist. Y'all are doing Trisha Paytas 2.0. He's a manic pathological liar.

@@piratedre4dThanks for the views tho bro lol

[@ohreally1997]

@@piratedre4d Still listening, but I haven't heard Ethan actually giving advice or saying anything so meaningful that it would be "taken to heart." I wasn't implying that Ethan is trying to provide actual therapy; I was commenting on the interview style (ie the way that he is navigating the dynamic, the pacing and approach etc). Your reply is kinda silly, honestly. If "it needs to end"..... you can just... turn it off? Also, who are you to dictate what anyone should or shouldn't get out of anything? Adults are capable of deciding what media they want to consume, and minors are the responsibility of their parents. It's really odd to say that ETHAN "should just worry about himself" when you're out here randomly replying to comments like a self-appointed hall monitor trying to make decisions for internet strangers. It's just a podcast, it's not that serious, for me anyway.

[@sirenaspeaks]

Wow… This is first time I’ve heard anyone describe my depression with such similarity with feeling like my brain was broken. I literally had the same experience with having trouble forming thoughts or articulating anything to anyone that I became mute. Thank you so much Fousey for being so open about it cause it’s relieving to know that I was not alone in those feelings and that it’s just a part of the human experience. Working out literally saved my life too. I did Yoga everyday and felt my whole life shift. It’s an experience that made me who I am today and looking I wouldn’t change it for the world. So if you’re struggling, just know it doesn’t rain forever and you will be okay. Just take it one day at a time.

I’m 11 years sober myself and hearing him speak so openly about his struggles and how he copes was just amazing! He shared a lot of things that were very personal and that a lot of people would consider shameful, but in recovery, sharing those stories is how we not only kill that shame, but also how we help fellow addicts find the strength to start or continue their own journey.

[@headwound]

@@nunpho You should google "ETC-treatment" because I believe that's what you're referring to with electroshock therapy. It has a bad reputation because of horror movies and how it used to be back in the day... today it's a great is a form of treatment with lots of research behind it and it works for plenty of people. My doctors were considering it for me too, but we went with TMS first as it's less intense. TMS in magnetic, ETC is electricity.

I really love the conversations about mental health and medications on this podcast. It gave me the courage to finally get help and get medicated for it, I was scared to take meds since I was a teen.

Ethan really has a knack for getting people to open up and offer up their better selves. I just hope it's not just a veneer or a flash in the pan. Because some people he gets to open up and share and be vulnerable, turn around and remain as people you and I would probably not like in real life.

Exactly. This is somehow Ethan’s charm and a curse. How does he get people to show him his soft side? I had the same feeling with Trish around him in later episodes. But then she went back to default mode Trish. (Altough I also believe, now, motherhood changed her for the better)

I take back everything I said. Not about it being a beautiful moment, it was. Everyone deserves to hear I love you. That being said I see why you’ve brought nothing but shame to your family.
