Mental Illness, the Spectrum, and Making Fun of it All - Stream of Consciousness EP 164

[@thewovenmantis6813]

And it made me think: “When is the proper time to give up on life?” - I’m dying 😂 Never stop dude. You’re a gift.

[@huntersavirino4450]

Legit binge-watched all 164 of these within the last 4ish days. Great stuff. I found you through the pokemon ranking videos and I'm staying for the humor and wit.

[@NinjaSox7]

As someone with OCD, please make fun of it. It's so stupid that I can't sit down at my aunt's house without worrying that I might die.

[@Mrbutternubs]

Hey look, a video I didn’t know I needed in my life until right now

[@huntersmith9440]

Holy shit that last joke killed me

[@caifabe8050]

Yup. I've got Aspergers. The bit at the end about the autism spectrum was HILARIOUS holy fucking shit that was GOLD.

[@joshuamorton1560]

The best kind of jokes are the ones that make you feel a little guilty for laughing your ass off.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

The only time depression is an attractive feature is on a tank gun.

[@ProdigyExe-zc9rj]

“Not gonna lie they had us in the first part”

[@TophinatorStreams]

I agree. I think it's common sense (or should be) to know when a person is trying to insult a certain group or person or when they're just sharing a silly fact about that group or person's affliction. I like the all too familiar, "It's so ridiculous, it's funny" approach. Yes, it's safe, but when done right, those jokes can be the best medicine. Honestly, after watching your SoCs and most of your Let's Plays, I feel that most of your audience knows you pretty well. Well, as well as non-obsessed fans of your channel can know you, that is. But it's pretty cool. Thanks for another thought provoking SoC! Here's to you, Albino! *Raises glass of wine to my wall w/ the thousands of pictures taken of you (when you weren't looking)*

I am in therapy right now and the most jokes in surrounding depression are my own

[@ElPaNDuH]

This was one of your funniest SOC episodes

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

If you tell me not to joke about something, that's a sure way to make me joke about it

[@ilyNoct]

And that's a fact

[@ZeDawgear]

Wait, you hate eye contact and making phone calls too? That's so relatable! Are we lost twins or something?

[@UNSCMarine117]

No you are both sad bastards.

[@phantomsoul630]

Speaking as someone who's had depression, your jokes about depression are fucking hilarious.

[@themadgamer1217]

If we can’t laugh at ourselves, what can we laugh at? Nothing. Also I’m right there with you on the Aspergers thing. Where the fuck am I on the spectrum? No one knows. As far as I’m concerned I’m just an annoyingly intelligent asshole who wishes that the autism spectrum was goddamned color coded. (I’d be turquoise because that’s the color I’m hyperfixated on at the moment, btw.)

[@candicefarrington2208]

"Well I'm still gonna " lmfao

[@soulofisac9296]

Listen man people need to hear this shit honestly like just relax us joking about it isn’t gona make it worse. Like seriously

[@henrytims4745]

Have you considered uploading this and your video game opinion series to podcast apps as well?

[@eldritchemissary4718]

That would be great

[@Dokurider]

How much did that brain scan run you?

[@SunburnedAlbino]

Like 3 grand all told

[@rextj1118]

@Sunburned Albino And you didn’t get any concrete answers? That’s fucked

[@superdarklink]

Well shit, making jokes about depression and suicide is how I fuckin cope with it.

[@ascendednightingale2456]

Having depression and anxiety is fun. Especially when you talk about suicide and make everyone uncomfortable.

[@toobert]

I have had, in the last two months, two people directly threaten suicide to me, one of which had already tried and failed at it numerous times, and another I was about to become intimately involved with. The first, I lost sleep, couldn't eat, was constantly worried, and by the time the day came around that she was planning on killing herself on, I was a nervous wreck and called the cops. After that, I couldn't be brought to care about that topic anymore. I slept like a baby, ate just as much as I should, and barely thought about it, and am fine to this day, regardless of my lack of awareness as to her actual health right now. I am so apathetic to that topic now because of that event that I just look at it and say "That sucks, but if you're so hell bent on quitting like a little bitch, don't keep wasting our time," and just leave it at that. The second one, I just never cared, and I still don't, it's not my problem. So if you're threatening suicide for fun, stop threatening it. Stop wasting our time.

[@ascendednightingale2456]

ToobSawkTheSock No one said I did it for fun, but I’m glad you lost sleep over that. That makes me happy.

[@ascendednightingale2456]

ToobSawkTheSock I’ve never threatened suicide and didn’t mean it. The fun part comes from watching the people you think are friends squirm and then gradually drift away from you. The fun part comes from cutting those fuckers off. The fun part comes from joking about suicide, but secretly meaning what you say. I think about suicide nearly every day. Only reason I haven’t done it is because I don’t like pain and I don’t know of any surefire method that doesn’t splatter my brains everywhere. Im just wishing for a terminal illness at this point. And don’t come at me with that “you’re a pussy if you don’t do it” shit. I’m not here to put on a show for you and I don’t care about you.

[@ilyNoct]

Also a fact

[@toobert]

@@ascendednightingale2456 You said it's fun to have depression and anxiety, especially when you talk about suicide and make everyone uncomfortable. I'm not telling you to "Kill yourself, pussy," I'm telling you that, instead of putting undue amounts of pressure on your friends and pushing them away for literally no reason, get some professional help to deal with that shit and stop wasting our time. Doing that shit to your friends make you a horrible person, regardless of depression or anxiety.

[@randomcomment7078]

Albino, you must get your audio together.

[@waywardwind2783]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but have you ever played Warframe? The game is fun, free, and awesome. I think you’ll enjoy it.

[@wettymeister]
