Mental State Check: Growing Up, Stress, Enjoying Gaming, and A Peace of Mind

[@runNthings]

Just in time, was just in deep thought and realized I’ve been looking to enjoy gaming for awhile now, idk what it is but gaming isn’t fun to me anymore. And I feel like I’ve been chasing that feeling I had as a kid but it’s just not there. Life is just overwhelming I feel like the gaming for me personally is an unhealthy escape from just life. Ima gamer for life. But just the amount of games that are out is overwhelming. I love your channel bro keep doing what you’re doing

[@TheGamer2323]

something I've come to realize as an adult is play games *AT YOUR OWN PACE.* Life can sometimes be throwing a ton of different things & emotions at you at once and trying to keep up with all the latest games, beat them, then play the next one in like a month can get exhausting and make you not even appreciate the game. It's one of the things I struggle with at times *ESPECIALLY* as a content creator. It's all about balancing your time, and in take of what you want to play. Its why I feel we appreciated every game we got when we were younger. They were harder to come by, didn't have access to as many, so we appreciated every one more. All that as an adult is just magnified x100

[@JonBlack413]

Same here there are so many games coming out and games that I haven’t played yet that it’s becoming overwhelming to keep up. I can only imagine how someone whose in a relationship with kids can still game on a consistent basis.

[@yipperdeyip]

It always goes through fases in my experience. Life and your goals have to be in check, you've got to be settled a bit before gaming can be fun again

[@Babynate1000]

Honestly I think simulation games are made for the adults.a quick pick up and play. RpGs def not for us

[@MSCLeap75]

Being in my early 30s, I realized that stressing and complaining is a huge waste of time & energy that I could spend being productive & bettering myself. I'm learning to just ignore life issues and just move on with my day to try to get as much done as possible which always makes me feel good.

[@Matt-sf4hi]

I’m at the point in life where I enjoy these videos more than any gaming content related vids you make not to say I don’t enjoy your gaming vids but I enjoy these heart to heart conversations more

[@migueljr501]

These mental state videos literally drop at the perfect time man. I got a lot on my mind. My future and self improving is on my mind constantly. I learned that the phrase “oh you got time” is bullshit. We need to have that sense of urgency. And that’s what stressing me out. Achieving greatness is all I’m tryna do, and I wanna do it asap. Please do these often

[@JosephWitty]

Definitely know the feeling 🙁💯 People think this life sh*t is a game and its not. Stay up my brother and keep striving!

[@samuelnjuki8421]

I definitely needed this vid right about now. I have just been going through mentally maturing and its good to hear other people's issues - not just to put into perspective how blessed I am to not be facing the worst but also to see how other people handle their issues. I'm 21 turning 22 this year and I know it sounds crazy considering how young I am but I'm really getting stressed thinking about the future and my life. I've generally been a person who worries way ahead than they should so I worry all the time even now when I should be really relaxed and living one day at a time. I've just never been like that. So this year specifically has hit me hard with the realization of life going on for others while I feel like I remain stagnant. These kinds of videos really help me put my head back on the ground and chill so thank you.

[@hero41109]

Yeah, I agree with you the older you get the harder it is for gaming that’s why I like to go to the gym and of course having my job helps me stay more busy

[@dwightsmith9716]

I just failed a test in med school for the first time and probably got the lowest grade in my entire class. Was feeling miserable but this vid honestly cheered me up, just need to control what I can, thanks man.

Recently I came out of a really hard break-up that was nearly the end of me. Been having a stoic mindset lately and just chasing that best version of myself and honestly I've never felt more content or confident. Glad to know you been good Jeremy.

not doing da best but these uploads never fail to brighten my day. keep chasing yourself 10 years from now, brotha jeremy!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@aLoneFox19]

This adulting phase is NOT it…one of the dumbest things I said was I can’t wait to be an adult. Yeah…that was goofy ah take, lol. But things are just so different and we’re definitely not going back. Stuff’s just so out of whack with this world it’s insane. On another note, I personally wish I could have discovered you a little sooner Gamer. I forget how I found you and this channel but yeah, regardless I’m happy to have found you when I did. You’ve put me on to so many games and music through your streams. Again sorry for not popping in as much as I have in the past, life’s been a bit outta control. But 🙌🏼 we’re gonna be alright!

Life from hi school to today has been one big dummy thick action adventure game of life that I think by now has made me reevaluate and rethink a whole Lotta things in life . I’ve watched some of my friends get into worse outcomes . And nowadays I’m just focused on myself being a better person on all fronts leveling up my skill tree so to say . And counting my wins wherever I can . The grind is no joke .

[@IGeorgeMakar89]

ye as a kid we didn't have to deal with stress or worries about the future although even as a kid I was different. As an adult there feels so much pressure to get your life together. As someone with depression and anxiety, I've never had my life together. Everyday is hell inside ur mind. I wish people were more accepting but even at work I'm treated like a ghost for no reason just because I'm an introvert. People don't realise how much their ignorance and demeanour towards someone can affect them, they're so narrow minded to comprehend that someone could actually be dealin with stuff behind closed doors as we all have a story to tell, this is what's wrong with society.

So very true about meeting people. Back during university days you'd meet classmate's or random peeps on campus or at events. But once I graduated and started working my circle became the friends I stayed close with but the only new people that come into my life are mostly from coworkers or people you meet at activities like I play football (soccer) so I've met a few people from that. Cheers for always doing these chief, and yeah people on the internet now be taking those behaviours into the real world 😂 it's hilarious. Keep up the great work as 👊🏿

[@undergroundvgt]

i think its the opposite for me. as a adult i didn't have time to game as much and recently started to find the time to play. also i think people started to realize that most people aren't really happy with themselves so why bother even adding new miserable people to your life? as kids it was easier to meet friends because of your surroundings but most of those people were only situationships. i decided to go back to college to finish and i found out that if i wasn't in this class with these people they probably wouldn't even speak to me on the outside. protecting your peace and being healthy is the most important things as an adult. if you have good people in your life then u are lucky. as for me I'm my own best friend and I'm cool with that.

All I feel like I have sometimes is my job, but now that I have this money I have no one to spend it with or on. It sucks but this video really helped.

I haven't quite hit that "real world" phase yet but I can see it on the horizon lol with that being said these past 2 years I've worked extremely hard on myself and its been great. Today I feel like the best me I've ever been.

I felt like shit especially seeing my friends go on trips, go to school, driving new cars. Felt like I was missing out on a lot. But I managed to get a better paying job saved money went to trade school. Which helped me a lot financially. It was tough our situation lasted about 3 years.

It was so hilarious and right on point so I started watching other videos and I'm glad, I feel like we have the same vision on many aspects. I feel the same as you, I'm 31 and struggling with stress. I'm getting better thanks to many things but one thing really helped me and its this book: eckhart tolle - the power of now. I encourage you to try it, it's really on point on how our mind works as we always worry about the future and overthink how or what we did wrong in the past. It gives really clever techniques to make you change the way you think, and focus more in the present. I'm now subscribed, keep doing what you do the content is great and stay safe while making sure of enjoying life as much as possible as like you said it goes faster and faster every year!

Hey Jeremy, I just want to let you know that I appreciate you making this video so much because it resonates a lot with what I’m going through right now. I feel trapped in a lot of ways; in a job which I absolutely despise which is making me miserable but I’m actively looking for a new one, there’s family drama at home which creates a tense atmosphere and I struggle with self esteem in general. I’m looking after myself in whatever way I can which is putting energy into working out at the gym mainly so I can get out the house and making plans with friends so I have something to look forward to. As a long time subscriber, your videos have me helped tremendously over the years in giving me escapism from my problems in life and being able to have a laugh. So I really hope you’re doing okay yourself, we all care about you.

[@nicholasdoucet673]

Been watching you for years, I love your content. I can relate when you were talking about how miserable it can feel if you game all day. It actually started to make me feel depressed and I realized it was holding me back from accomplishing things in life. So I took a year off from gaming and realized how much more time I was giving myself to work on specific things in my life. Now I’m at the point where I’ve completely desensitized myself from gaming and when I try to go back and play I can’t get more then a half hour in without wanting to do something else with my time.

[@ChristopherToro]

Yeeaaahh that new Adult patch needs some more work. 😅 I can see why my parents had so many complicated relationships. Life around adults is just so much pressure and stress, living on my own for around 7 years was the best and worst thing. It’s definitely scary and stressful. At the end of the day we all struggle, these videos help me get through my week/month knowing somebody else has these troubles too. Stay strong and stay safe.
