Mental State Check: Living In A Constant State Of Being Overwhelmed..

Hey bro I highly recommend meditation and the book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals… it’s not a normal bs self help book, it’s more about accepting the limitations of your time on Earth and being serious about figuring out priorities. And meditation is just about focus and acceptance too.

[@stupidnoob8774]

Jeremy I literally do the same damn thing when Im going through shit. I keep to myself and tend to deal with it, or go through it alone. Its almost like i isolate myself from people when i go through it. I love people, i love my family, and my friends. And people tell me when I’m going through it, i should reach out and talk about it. But for some reason I just can’t do that. I always like dealing with it by myself till im “Good” again. I dont know if its a pride thing refusing to be vulnerable with friends and family. I don’t know why, but thats just how i deal with my shit.

I feel this so much. I'm 31 and everyday just feels like the same cycle - work, gym, eat, sleep, repeat (with the occassional social activity). Even gaming feels meh nowadays and when I do actually find the motivation to play anything, I feel guilty and keep thinking I should be doing something more productive. I guess this is adult life 😔

[@TheGamer2323]

@@231doughboysearching for your “purpose” in life gets kind of glamorized at times in my opinion. Do you want to be doing something you enjoy for a living? Yes. But life has many different layers of both good and bad. It doesn’t end once you find that “thing”. Some people drive themselves crazy trying to find their “purpose” in life when sometimes it’s really not even that deep. People are just tired of working until their 70s and not feeling appreciated for it or feeling like it was worth it after all the years. Combine that now with people having access to others peoples lives via social media and how they live and it’s created more questions and feelings of “there has to be something more for me” than ever before. People weren’t questioning their purpose in life back in the days before the internet like they do now.

[@231doughboy]

@@TheGamer2323 I think you misunderstood- I was talking about something deeper. I don’t believe every person has their “own” purpose of life. That would mean your purpose of life is subjective.

Felt this. I lost my job 5 months ago and was almost homeless. Had to use my savings that was going towards a car, Kinda lost my mind for a little bit with how much I was struggling and ain’t none of my people checkin up on me. Friends and family I talk to or check up on once or every other week all of a sudden I was a nobody, a ghost. Months went by and not a single call or text just checking to see if I was even alive. Legit broke my heart. Had to do what was fair to me a cut em all off (not like they give a fuck anyway) and just move on with life without them.

[@ayannatraylor-mahmud56]

I'm in my early 50s and I have been there! I can tell you what I did to alleviate feeling overwhelmed. Deliberately spend time with people who fill you up and don't drain you. Therapy. Try to hone in on why you're overwhelmed. Is it in your control? Are you getting things done? Take a social media vacation (or since you create content, try to automate as much as you can and minimize your interactions). Finally, for me, I believe in better living through pharmaceuticals. I'm a big pharma over green pharma but whatever you use it should improve your ability to feel less overwhelmed. Anyhow, I don't know much about you but take care of your mind and spirit and kick all those things to the curb that don't allow you to have peace in your life. Good luck!

I'm 49 and been on the internet since I was 25. I've been gaming since I was 8. And I've been following you since forever. Now I work 6/7 days a week, so when I am home, I just want to stay home, game a little bit(Loving the Steam Deck), and hangout at the grill. Otherwise, I'm fixing something, or taking someone somewhere, or running errands. The older I get the more I just want to do "nothing", if the chance comes. I took a break from gaming, except on the Steam Deck, streaming, and hanging out. For fun I like to code, game, stream, grill, read, watch movies, and road trip. But seems like there is never enough time to enjoy things.

Nice to know I’m not alone. I’m a college student in nursing, 27, working 12 hour shift and only a couple close friends that I met online. And just now gaining the courage to go out and try and meet people! In this age, close relationships are slim, and I’ve lost a friend through differences and it was a true heavy blow. Between work, losing my friend, school, hobbies and getting my ass beat by sweaties on games, and having hope for my own future…it’s been a lot.

As an adult, I understand when folks talk about the good ol' days when they didn't worry about much, save homework, chores and hanging with friends. Having so many more responsibilities piled on you can be stressful for anyone, and some folks peaked earlier than others. Not to mention while I did sometimes hear adults around me talk about how they recently paid taxes and such...why did NOBODY bother to tell me that you gotta do that joint every freakin' year, and that it kicks in the INSTANT I pick up a job? Thank goodness my first job was the military and someone was there to let me know, but would it KILL schools to teach this stuff? Finances, too. Speaking from the flip side of that perspective, adulting has its cons--but I personally like the freedom I have now. Still feel like being a kid kinda sucked for me, in more ways than one. Maybe if I went back in the past with my current brain I could find ways to make it better...but otherwise, and I say this as someone in his 30's....nah. Heck if I was gonna re-do anything, it'd probably be my 20s.

[@fatedanarchy1756]

Becoming spiritual helped me a lot. Not religious, but just opening myself up to that sort of thing. Just acknowledging that there is more beyond what we have here and doing work to build my spirit. Things are still rough, but I have definitely noticed a difference with some things surprisingly working out in the end, and even my general mood and demeanor improving despite having problems. So, even if you're not a religious or spiritual type person, I think the main thing is finding a way to strengthen yourself within and that would then give you a stronger foundation to deal with worldly problems. It took hitting a brick wall and trying something that was uncomfortable for me to finally feel like I can get through this if I keep going. Wish you, and everyone else here, the best!

[@eazzii_m5408]

Adulting doesn't suck man. Been watching you since I was a teenager. 30 years old now. It can be overwhelming, but you gotta start with taking time to relax. This might be where you're going wrong. I take 30 - 45 minutes every morning with my woman to relax in bed before going off to work. When I get back, I don't immediately get to things that need getting done. 30 minutes of chilling before getting to anything else. I have hobbies outside of gaming that make me active. I cut down on my drinking by a dramatic degree. I take issues in my life one at a time otherwise getting overwhelmed is very easy. Sometimes life is throwing too much at you as an adult, ESPECIALLY as a grown man because people around you expect you to take responsibility over certain issues. Embrace it. You can take care of issues. You have to believe in yourself first otherwise every serious issue will bring you stress. You're doing good in making sure you keep certain relationships tight. Trust me, the healthy relationships in your life keep you grounded.

[@echos9396]

Honestly been finding it hard to play video games as much as I used to smh.. 🤦

[@MasterConnor2943]

Its a battle that fluctuates every day. Every day is a struggle. I watch motivational videos and take vitamins to keep myself active. Its a state of depression and a dark place sometimes. But its all to better myself and to get to the next level. I just have to keep reminding myself. But sometimes I be wanting to throw in the towel because it gets increasingly hard. Which is why I limit social media in general to not think about other people's lives because I am not living theirs and being anti-social to an extent. I think back to what Eric Thomas said back in the day, "As long as I aint dead, God ain''t thru with me yet". One miracle at a time.

[@PandaPulse4]

Life in general can be pretty awful. That’s why I’m trying to just focus on what i can control and try not to worry too much about what I can’t. Life is short, we are here and then we are not. Just try to work on yourself, keep pushing through even when it feels like hell and keep making strives to improve yourself. That’s the motto I’m trying to live by

[@DistinctionDino]

I feel you it’s tough. Was having a conversation with my sister about being an adult and figured out the fatigue is really from looking after yourself. Sounds crazy but when you become an adult you truly have to make every single decision about your life for yourself from cutting your nails to forging a career path to a family and everything in between. You have to make the healthy choices even when you don’t want to, and at the end of the day good or bad it’s down to you to hold yourself accountable. Suffer from pretty severe ADHD and when I was a kid it was a lot easier when my parents were managing everything but being 27 now I have to do it. Things that honestly help me is setting a schedule I hate the idea of it but having your whole day planned out with open hours and a rest day like Sunday every week has really helped feel better and balance. It’s annoying to really plan everything out like that but it feels better to plan than it’s feels to be spontaneous and just drifting.

[@taylorhead9842]

I completely understand how you feel. Before I had kids I felt just like you I would lose track of the day and forget to drink water, haha. When you work from home you don't have structure to your day. I think you need to schedule out your day. Specifically the times when you wake up, eat breakfast, start work, when you break for lunch, exercise, etc. It's really difficult to do that when you're single, cause no one is there to help pull you along and keep structure in the day. Now that I'm married with 2 kids, my schedule revolves around them with their school schedule and making sure they're taken care of. I really think you should start with writing out time blocks for when you accomplish things. Start simple with your eating schedule, when you exercise, and what times you want to be working on youtube content. In fact you probably could turn it into a series where you vlog your day and if it's improved your situation.

Trying to balance content creation, maintaining relationships/friendships and having time for yourself to go out and have fun just feels impossible nowadays.

[@PSG51]

I have something to share with you guys... Whole my life has been about going to school/work and play games after. So last year i had the same setting. But this year something suddenly changed in me, there is this girl who started working in the section where i'm working. Eventually she started to get my attention. I really liked her. And we begun talking to each other about our lives. So she is not like the typical girl who you see everyday as she also plays games BUT she does a lots of running and she has this athletic lifestyle. And because of her i begun running too, obviously to get more of her attention. So i started running and running, i even participated on a marathon. I honestly NEVER thought i would do stuff like this in my life and yes yes i like it now, i like jogging kilometers away. Anyway she then got attracted to me. We talked A LOT and started sharing more things about life with each other. And one day she found out that i like her and then things took a whole different route, she told me she didn't happen to have any feelings for me and that is where my dark days began surfacing up. I felt lost and just didn't know what to do anymore and i do still have the same feelings months later but not as much. I still did my running from time to time, she really did open a door for me to a world i'd never imagined to be in. Doing outside activities. This year i've spent my time more outside because i began to really love it. Now i'm having the regret of not going outside back in the day. Still feel really sad about that whole situation but she did give me a different type of lifestyle that really helps just doing more in life.

[@TheGamer2323]

dang....I know that probably hurt when you found out she didn't feel the same typa way for you like you did her but it's good you didn't stop doing those activities she got you into. It could of been lifes way of just showing you ''here's some other things you can do to break free from the cycle of life you was on''. Show you that you can do other things in life and still have fun and not necessarily not need anyone with you to do it. If you still enjoy those activities she got you into it can be the start of you meeting many other people a long the way and establishing new relationships. Ya know?

I'm 43 and have been a subscriber of yours for some years. I've had a rough year bro. Especially the last two weeks. As a adult, life will get the best of you. You just have to focus on anything positive to get you through your rough patches. I too, shut down when I have to focus on swimming to the shoreline. Your video popped up at the right time for me. #salute

[@KurokiSamurai]

Damn yo this video hits home for me. Definitely feeling the fatigue with everything going on. Stay strong out there yall.

[@tjl516]

I can relate, sometimes when I play games I hear a voice I’m my head telling me, “should you really be playing games right now?“ almost like a feeling that I could be doing something more impactful to my life. And I’m wasting that on just “clicking buttons”. Now that Im in my mid 20’s gaming is just a hobby of mine and It doesn’t consume my entire day. I also realized that I don’t have the attention span or get pleasure out of playing games all day anyways even if I really enjoy the game. Looking back to my teenage years I don’t know how being on the game from dawn to dusk was entertaining I guess Im just growing up lol.

[@JdotTv-e3z]

From one Jeremy to another "man you ain't never lied" everything you spoke on was extremely relatable. Life be lifin frfr. Ty for sharing. Big respect to the platform

[@Donovanwilson87]

Been watching you since the ps4 unboxing. Life changing once you hit your 30’s is definitely facts. Life can be ass at that point, but I feel like you have to find something to live for and not end it. Whether it’s family, spouse/significant other, friends, kids, an exciting career, or maybe yourself. Mental health is so important so we can identify the real ones that care about us. Thanks for dropping this video.

[@SlimmCity]

I'm 38, and like Wayne once said. "Life is a B*****, but I appreciate her" 💗🙏

[@ArthropodSpidey]

The thing that makes my life bad ain't my own decisions, but the decisions of bad people around me. That shit makes things so hard.

[@bobidybilly]

I’m 29, every time you post one of these out of the blue it’s scary how on point they are with me

[@animestyle92]

Bro, I’m right there with you. I agree me and you’re just about the same age. I’ve been subscribed to you since that last of us bro video you made back in 2013 I remember beating games and watching movies over and over and over again the same one because I had so much time on my head with you and your 30s man, everything about you starts to slow down you’ve been start falling asleep more often when you really don’t want to when you’re staying up late so I’m definitely right there with you, but I thought you got your own apartment. I didn’t expect you mention that I’m guessing it was the new design of where you were staying at compared to what it looked like when you were unboxing the PS4.

[@RealOGSlayer96]

Brotha I’m 28 and I already feel it’s getting worse before it gets better, I constantly have to remind myself to stay positive but it’s hard because so much shit is put on you and it stresses you out until you’re tired and half dead, this is why I miss my late teen years, you had no worries and less responsibilities, this is why i want to start streaming in the future doing what I love

[@Brian_R248]

Do it bro. Don’t say tomorrow buy the equipment and just start. God is the best. Keep your faith in him.

[@annonjames2438]

We appreciate you bro. I’m 26 and I feel the same way. Keep your head up. Life’s stressful but don’t forget to enjoy the ride and make time for you and friends and family

[@meanmachine5598]

44 years old, two young boys a decent job, have a house and a huge ass mortgage and yeah bills suck. I'll tell you what makes things better for me 1) cut off social media for me it was nuts Facebook, once it was gone felt a relief. 2) still do something you love, for me that's hockey once a week getting out and it's just me doing what I've always enjoyed. 3) Appreciate the small things in life, I tell you you say how can you do it with kids. My boys made me selfless, I love seeing the joy in them and raising them to be strong men. 4) stop watching or listening to all the toxicity in the media, it's all bad news. The weather, the inflation the politics. Forget the left vs right nonsense. It's US verses them(government in general) they want us to be in conflict. 5) Turn your cell phone ringer off and notifications off, only get to them when you feel you have time. When I was in high school cell phones weren't even a thing I had no problem going home and checking the answering machine when I was home and calling friends up when I could. 6) Surround yourself with the ones you love and positivity, don't keep toxic individuals around. 7) Love Love Love Gaming is not the same for me as it use to be, but some of my best gaming these days is with the best co op friends I've ever had. My two boys💕

[@Thiago_Alves_Souza]

Me and my wife got off social media and the only reason she even has FB is because she has out of country family and close friends but disabled anyone friending her and her page is private to the extreme. We are both goth and we used to post pics on ig etc and that attracted the opposite sex a lot to our page. Instead of being there feeling insecure we deleted our pages and haven't looked back since.

[@Film_Quest]

Been watching since your ps4 unboxing and we’re about the same age. I totally get what you’re feeling because I feel the same way. I get caught in that loop, feeling overwhelmed and stressed with work, and by the time I’m done I’m too tired to do anything. So it feels like I’m not really taking many steps forward. Doing KZbin helps me with that sense of fulfillment because it’s something that I’m actually passionate about. I go to church, and on the weekends I try to go out climbing, biking, hiking, etc. Changing my environment helps a lot too, so even if just going to the store or something it helps. But yeah man it’s a journey. You’re making money doing something you love and that’s awesome, that’s a MASSIVE W that a lot of people don’t get. Hopefully you find fulfillment in what you’re doing and that keeps pushing you forward. And as you’re moving forward don’t be scared to go on some side quests. Changing up the pace of life keeps things interesting and helps things feel a little less overwhelming because you’re not so fixated on the only the constant stressors of life which

[@TrillWill675]

The fact that u always drop these videos every time I need them can't be a coincidence bro. My anxiety is so much better now than it has been in years. Being a adult is hard man not gonna lie but we can do this bro. We all in this together u not alone my brother 💪🏾❤️ hang in there.

[@ML-ze1ji]

I’m here for you man. believe me every person go through hard times that’s how life goes…

[@aukepunt7145]

06:35. You are not alone and I can attest to this: life has not even begun messing with you yet. Buckle up!

[@DJohn0991]

Been a long time fan since the beginning man . Definitely going through the exact same thing. Im 32, married , with a child by an ex and I’m a huge gamer w/ a 9-5. Having to balance my health , work, sleep, attention for my child , wife , and maintain friendships is TOUGH. Take a breather and try journaling . I have a schedule mapped out for everyone and I try to stick to it religiously and just work on each aspect a little each day. For gaming, I use to be a huge competitive gamer with the call of duties etc but now I play solely single player/casual multiplayer games for myself and couch coop games with my family . I stropped playing twitchy shooters because nowadays my blood pressure will skyrocket trying to keep up . Weekends are essential for my mental health , and I look forward to planning 1 vacation every year . Everything will fall into balance once you schedule life out now .

[@TheGamer2323]

Appreciate this comment and yea it is tough. Maybe journaling is something I should entertain 🤔 keep your head up brotha and stay safe

[@DJohn0991]

@@TheGamer2323absolutely man ! Ppl think journaling is lowkey just for women but honestly, my mind moves a million miles a second and writing down my thoughts helps me map them out more . Everyone’s race to the finish line is different and take a moment to realize how far you’ve come from your very first video up till today . Life gon keep life-ing lol just breath and take time to celebrate yourself . Hope it helps 💪🏾

[@OKBZERO]

No need to push yourself too hard always remember you have good health. Great KZbin foundation. You’re getting a lot more sponsorships. If you can’t finish everything you need to do it’s ok. Just step back get your mental back and then go at it again. Give yourself breaks or ask for help it never hurts to have help especially from us we’re always here for each other

[@hollowtai7436]

What's good Gamer, I've been watching you since the Spider-Man PS4 days, although I didn't start watching consistently until a little after that. I graduated from HS 2 years ago and I've done absolutely nothing until recently. I'm fortunate enough where I can work for my dad, but I used to just wake up, play games, eat and sleep for a majority of the last few years. Right now I just got started as a substitute teacher, but I'm still stressing over what I should do for the future. I've started to take steps to see if I can make a living doing what I enjoy but it's overwhelming. Sometimes the self-doubt kicks in and then goes away. Keep doing what you're doing brother, I really appreciate your videos!

[@seanlotr]

Thank you very much for this making video, I am 34 years old and been watching your videos for a few years now, i have been struggling with mental health issues the only way i have found to keep on going is to get out the house once a day for a walk to the local park. Keep up the great work on your videos!

[@humblebeast9813]

I had just finished paying off my car that I bought a few years ago. Like a week later, in the middle of the night somebody broke into it, stole it and totaled it. So then I had to go through the car buying process again and had to buy a newer car, and I’m back paying another car note just like that 😂 on top of that I had just started a new job and this happened on my first day. However, on the bright side, I really enjoy the new car, and I’m gonna work hard to pay it off. And also nobody was hurt in that situation thank god. That being said, it’s important to still hold your head up high. We all knew life wasn’t gonna be fair the moment we started thinking like adults. You’re in control of your own mind, your own thoughts, and your view on the world is subjective. It completely depends on how you choose to see things and handle your shortcomings. Sometimes I let it get to me and I shut down, but I was able to cultivate an indomitable human spirit when I changed my views and started thinking about the positives over the negatives and come up with solutions to my problems if I can. Stay blessed people.

[@TheBlackKakashi]

That sucks but at least you’re having a positive attitude about it

[@gabrielibowen1]

Last year someone ran a blinking red light at night and totaled my car. I def feel your pain on that. I miss having cheap insurance and no car payments. And when I went car shopping, the prices for used cars were outrageous. It took me a while, but I finally like my newer car now. But I was mad for a while about the whole thing.

[@TheGamer2323]

I LOVE your attitude towards what happened to you. Something like that happened to me….. yea…. something gon have to give let’s just say that. Keep that mindset man. I don’t even know you but I can tell you got a good head on your shoulders 👊🏾❤️

[@godssalvation87]

Im going thru some stuff my self but all i can say is Pray To God an let him know what going on deep in you heart an mind an ask him for relief from day to day frustration an stress.

[@aKiDNameCoop]

My brother, this video came at the perfect time. I am currently overwhelmed with my job and side hustles, trying to get my own place in this crazy economy. First, time I've ever felt anxiety from it. I'm knocking on the door to my 30s now and trying to maintain even tho I put a lot of pressure on myself. Relatable videos like this helps alot knowing in not alone.

[@radalex9790]

Thanks for this video, it’s always refreshing to hear that people are dealing with similar struggles as me. Although I am younger I can still relate to someone much older

[@sneshead3326]

Let’s be honest being an adult sucks! I’m 41 😂

[@TheGamer2323]

😭😭😭 take me back dawg

[@fenixa2z936]

43, doing very well money wise. 6 figures plus a year. Still, I’d give it all back to be able to go back and not have all these adult things to worry about and just game.

I just recently turned 30 in May and I'm going through a similar situation myself. Hope you are doing well fam! Nothing but love from me. ❤

[@DCwarrior3]

Feel this heavy man. I think I'm getting better at managing this feeling, however I do feel a lil more jaded, especially w my city. I'm trying to go full-time freelance artist, but in this economy, it's freaking difficult lol - so my part-time jobs take up most of my time. And I guess I feel jaded because a lot of the popular creatives in my city/community seem to come from affluent backgrounds already, and it just frustrates me that I gotta be put in the same pool as them. And to see newcomers get their shine right away cause they have the clout and can devote their whole day to their craft and have no part-time job cause their parents are rich. I know I sound hella salty, but it just seems like clout and money causes other artists to be looked over, and I gotta put the extra hours out of my day to even be recognized in the creative community and spaces.

[@TheGamer2323]

Your feelings are justified man. At the end of the day though (might sound cliche) just be who YOU ARE and pursue your goals with a burning passion and let the chips fall where they may.

[@Freshwitdaposites18]

Bro I been feeling it this year. It is so stressful trying to plan for the future knowing I want to buy a house/townhouse but seeing my savings account take hit after hit because there is just constant stuff coming up that isn't in the budget. And seeing your budget in the red for multiple months in a row because you had to buy a new suit for a funeral, needed to rent a tux for multiple weddings in a row, travel costs for these events as well. Shit is overwhelming fr and I dont know how to forecast for this stuff. I guess I need to just be thankful that I can afford to attend at all regardless of the cost eating into my savings.

[@Kamino_3]

Work hard, play harder. We love you gamer I’ve been getting whatever I may need and enjoying your videos for years big bro stay up. We see you. We feel you. We here for you brothaaaaa. It might sound selfish but I look forward to seeing these videos. They can be very relatable. And a brief reminder that we aren’t alone with these feelings. You’ve made my day I hope everyone has a blessed one.

[@glibglob8755]

You are definitely not alone. Hell, I only have one “friend” left and he has a family so he doesn’t really value my friendship and I spend a lot of time alone. Hardly any human contact. It sucks big effin’ time. I hear ya brotha, I hear everything.

[@GoodGooblyGoo]

I honestly feel like we both go through similar things in life when it comes to the mental aspects of life. I love these type of videos bro

[@scarvello]

Take care of you my brotha. You dropped this at the perfect time fr because I’m military and I’ve been experiencing the same things. No shame in focusing on yourself man💪🏾

[@gunsalves]

Tell me about it man. Just came back from vacation and the wave of depression that hit me thinking about work and how slow it's been...reality check. Back to the grind.

[@BigTacious]

break up things into smaller tasks/things as best you can, really helps

[@Rude_Boi]

Sometimes you gotta take a step back, reevaluate your life and take a break to take care of yourself. It is what it is, but you do what you gotta do.

[@nosignalgaming3282]

As a 23 year old full time Realtor. I felt this 100%. I think social media has sped up our thinking of people making life look “easy” but I’ve come to realize everyone has something going on no matter who it is or what you do. Life isn’t meant to be easy but embracing the journey and telling your story is what’s intriguing about it It’s also reassuring that everyone feels like this and not just one single person

[@Darkwave27]

Hitting 24 this year and definitely feel what you mean about the jump from school to real life. I'm doing better now but I moved to work last year and the jump slammed me. Keep your head up y'all and don't forget to be kind to yourself and others! Also thanks for being making the video Gamer I usually don't comment but it takes a lot to be vulnerable especially on camera. Been watching since the PS4 unbox video (10 years ago?)

[@cun7us]

I'm sure most people can relate to everything you're going through. Sometimes it's good to take a break for a week or so, go on holiday somewhere you haven't been before, away from the internet and social media. It helps clear your mind and you feel so much more refreshed when you come back home.

[@RenaisBernard1]

Definitely needed this video!!! Thank you it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. Me being 25 and still trying to figure life out is rough man... I think just trying to see what life has to offer. Patience (long suffering) but once you get past these hurdles it definitely makes adulting worth it

[@millionaire25]

Keep pushing big dog. I use to be and school watching you to get a laugh and get me through my day now we all going through the same. Just keep moving

[@gp63]

46 here checking in. Society sucks hard right now. My wife today said I look dead behind the eyes

[@greenspade]

Being an adult is challenging for me for sure. Ive lost my dad my mom is distant from me. My friends having kids. I got married a year ago and finding my someone has really filled a void in me. We work as a team. Therapy also changed my life. I am going to school this semester to become a therapist, actually. The reigns are there for us to grab and have control of the ride, but sometimes, we can't grab the reigns though. But as people we need to have more of these mental check ins. Always makes me feel better.

[@thehero-verse8586]

Great video bro!🤙🏽I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s feeling like time is flying really fast. And I talk about it a lot with my friends. When you’re a kid time moves so slow. But as you get older it’s moves so fast. And it feels like you can’t get everything done in the day because it’s moving so fast.😔And everything else with keeping in touch with friends after high school is something I really feel like I have to fight for with some of my friends. But it is what it is.🤙🏽

[@RickxDogg]

I deal with crippling anxiety everyday bro. Felt like I had a normal life til I hit 27 and my life changed forever. Having 3 daughters and dealing with this mental illness is really hard. I hope things get better for you man

Life has its ups and downs, but its a blessing to be here. Keep your head up and don't give up and push forward. Love you brother. calvcee.

[@phazongroove]

I feel you bro. As you get older time flies by so fast. Responsibility just keeps piling on. I deal with it through prayer and take the time out and take a vacation just to break the everyday routine. Also, going out for morning walks with my wife helps the mental state.

[@elijahpippen5877]

Wassup gamer love when you do these videos brotha ppl don't realize how healthy it is to talk about your mental state/ problems never good to keep in so ur winning half the battle right there especially you being a KZbinr there's prolly alot or you mind than the average person but I say that to say keep up these videos my brotha.

[@Luffy2x_]

Thanks for dropping this I'm going thru this rn I just lost my job as a delivery driver due to a drunk driver and I'm currently trying to find a job its just a lot on my mental life is kicking me ass rn but we gotta stay positive and have hope

[@gabrielibowen1]

I've been dealing with the same overwhement problems. Therapy. All stems from childhood trauma. Stuff you don't consider trauma until you talk to other people and realize that wasn't normal. What has been helping me is letting go the need for approval from anyone. That's what was draining me. In short, go to therapy. Childhood trauma gets worse the older you get.

[@ManOnTheMoonVR]

My kids honestly help make everything easier. They give me that drive to stay positive and keep going.
