[@hamishford5486]

NOPE, sorry but aside from mental illness, in which, I include many things, EG, all forms of Psychopathy, our thoughts and therefore our actions are PREDETERMINED according to our uniquely independently acquired Psychology, which is SOLELY DERIVED from our EVERY life experience, up to and including the age of 26, which is when our brain stops developing. I make this claim for many different reasons, the most important one is if you as a highly qualified Psychology professional,, in a long white lab coat, explain to a group of one hundred people who are seriously depressed, the miraculous, 100% successful effects of a new to the market, antidepressant which corrects the minds chemical imbalance of people with Depression. You then proceed to administer a Placebo Pill and for further effect stand near that person ensuring they have swallowed that pill, the results will be that some 90% of the people who took that pill over a period of say, a month, will show a marked improvement and of eradication of their depression.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm at the tail end of my 3rd year as a broke, single father. What a ride it's been thus far. I thought I knew stress. I thought I could handle stress. Better than most even. Little did I know what life(or more appropriately a deadbeat ex) had in store. Since she pulled her Houdini disappearing act on us my health, mental acuity, vitality... everything you described has happened. My health took a complete nosedive. I've aged 10 years in the last 2. I was healthy as an ox. Seldom getting sick. Now, I get sick if someone sneezes within 10 feet of me. People say don't listen to anything on the internet. Something usually tend to agree with. But that doesn't mean it can't still be a useful tool. This has given me new avenues to explore and a better understanding of what stress can do and how it works. Knowing how something works is imperative in learning how to fix it. Thank you good sir.

since I myself also was a highly emotional person in my life, but nowadays I completely learned how to remain completely calm every day in every situation, I would say as you age, you get wiser and learn how to master it, but its not the case, as you can see many older people are still not in control over their emotions. I think the key is, to accept that you are in absolutely no need to stress over anything, unless your life is at direct danger. Anything else is very insignificant and you should stop worrying and making the situation worse.

​@@BerkayKocOfficial Is there any evidence to back up that smiling thing? Or a case of "Thoughty2 said so, so it must be true"?

[@BerkayKocOfficial]

@@OutlawMantis It's not some Thoughty2 propaganda as it seems. There are researches about that. I just pointed those out since they were being told in the video.

@metalfaust19 True it can definitely help, but I used to work out quite a bit and was still very depressed. Turned out I needed to get my diet in check and eat more nutritious food.

[@Claymore1977]

I'm paraphrasing here but I read a comment somewhere that basically said "don't talk to me about your problems until you exercise regularly, eat healthy, and get a solid 8 hours of sleep a night". You'd be surprised the difference it makes.

This is the only channel for which I'm happy when ads start cause it contributes to his efforts to create such masterpiece of videos.

Love the video! Whens the book coming out? I've been waiting for what feels like forever since I helped fund it or whatever its called

[@Kaddywompous]

...threw a toaster at her.” Oddly specific, Thoughty.

umm - i like your sentiment, but - like, you know - he’s British! LOL 🇬🇧 🌿🌼

[@coltonvaldez6914]

@@feralbluee hey now, that’s discrimination lol jk. But seriously: if only he was born in America 🇺🇸 🙃

[@feralbluee]

@@coltonvaldez6914 discrimination LOL impossible. where would we be without Doctor Who, for instance. how about we go live there? :) and there are quite a list of people t’would be nice if they lived here, but we’d have to completely and utterly change our medical coverage LOL :) then there’s a huge number of people i’d like to send to their own darn island 🏝 in the middle of the Pacific. not near any other islands, for pete’s sake, but a nice big one where they can do whatever they want to except leave. then the blond ones can discriminate against the non-blonds to their hearts’ content. have to see about the internet - but they probably wouldn’t want any realistic news anyway. then Tucker Carlson can take over all the news media there and #45 can build a golden palace and keep everyone out he wants to. can you imagine all those people and politicians just living with themselves. it would soon turn into chaos. LOL 🤣🥴🤪
