My Schizophrenia and COVID-19 Story

[@annhasty4857]

This is such a good thing you're doing. I have a family who was diagnosed at 19 with bipolar. He had told me around 14 that he thought he saw something run across his room. I didn't take it seriously. I thought people typically bacame mentally ill in their early 20's or older. You and your father are educating us. Be proud of yourself that you are helping so many people. I didn't know about, I think it was called SSDI, social security, until I watched your father and you talking about it on your channel. I am now looking into it for my adult child. I also like your show when you talked about how you had been depressed for several days, but you put a positive spin on it and said it would get better. It is nice of you to share your emotions with us. It makes it ok for us to then share our feelings with our friend and others. Thanks for sharing, and again best of health and speedy recovery for your family. Keep on U-Tubing.

Thanks!

Thank you very much Laurel! I very much appreciate your support. Have a happy and healthy rest of your day!

[@Dstew57A]

Great to see you Steven. I hope you are feeling better soon. We are all in this life together. We all carry our own burdens every single one of us human beings. We are with you and I so appreciate your videos. Blessing to you always young man. Hope your Mom also feels better soon too.

Thank you for the update Stephen! Being sick does stress the body and the mind but you have learned how to manage your illness very well. A few of my clients who suffer from mental health issues had COVID and they got over it. The younger you are the stronger immune system you have. Hope you're feeling better soon. Stay strong and take care!💪❤

I love the dialogue between you and your Dad. Because if I understand it, one of the biggest issues when you Schizophrenia came about, you were not able to stay here. On the same level. I don’t have kids. But I have a niece whom I love. And have watched grow into a small human from a baby. My greatest joy is watching her learn how to put her world and thoughts together. To be here. With us. To watch that go away. God. That’s just horrible. Worse that the one I knew and loved is trapped in there. Man. That is… Something. Saying that I see him testing and cherishing you being with him. Doing his best to help learn you see with your mind again. You never really stopped, but you have been able to return. We can accept the changes. Change would’ve happened anyway. We can work with that. The good that he hoped for, and he saw you could make your own life from. It’s the same. Man that’s what life is. He’s careful. Watchful. And pushing yet still as much as he can. And he’s doing it because he cares. A lot. He’s not disappointed in you or your life at all. His fear is your suffering. His hope is that he can help you become what you should be. Or that’s my read. A poem on something. If it isn’t exactly true, it is essentially true.

Love all your videos Steve and Stephen. Keep us posted on how you and your family are doing. I had COVID last year. Fortunately I am basically healthy. The lung symptoms felt like I had cement in my lungs and couldn't cough it up. The body aches and pains were really bad. Fortunately I survived and was only sick for a few days. I totally understand why people with weaker lungs can die from this. I was very lucky. Yes COVID is still here.

[@DeeLite220]

I’m still worried about getting it. Like the Steve’s I haven’t had it yet (that I’m aware of), but I’m flying in December for the first time since the lockdown. I will have my 6th shot by then but I have severe respiratory issues and your comments about cement lungs are terrifying tbh. Something like that is life threatening for me. I will be flying with the antiviral drug in tow, masks, and these pretty ridiculous looking noseplugs 😂. Ugh. I just wish antivaxxers understood there are good people out here, much like Stephen might I add, who are just trying to live life.

[@Only1You_Honey]

Yes Covid on top of everything else was challenging beyond belief for me. So glad you made it back Stephen. 😊 (That makes me so happy.)

[@annhasty4857]

Wishing you all a speedy recovery. Love your utube channel. My favorite part is when you say, I hope you have a wonderful day. Then I do. You say it in such a uplifting voice. I

[@carolinechow1702]

Hi Stephen, I am an intensive care unit RN, and my 23-year-old son and I had Covid in May with similar symptoms. It sure is tiring, isn't it? You are probably now in the recovery stages. Hope you and your parents get well soon. ❤from Canada.

[@brodog1884]

Hopefully you all feel better soon, and thank you for another great video. It’s so awesome how you have such a supportive dad and I’m sure your mother too.

[@kinzhe83]

Hi Stephen, nice video, even though it's not nice that you and your family got covid. I've had it here in Bosnia myself, even though I was vaccinated, and thankfully I got through it in about 4 days. One of those days was rough though, my body temp was going through the roof, and perhaps my body weight didn't help either (I am about 110 pounds overweight thanks to combination of myself and Zyprexa). I'm glad you showed us some of your "gear" and living areas, and Toni, and your nice pictures :). I genuinely wish for you and your family to come out of this "plague" safely, you guys are such a nice people. Best wishes, and may you get well very soon :)

[@kitandsons173]

Thanks for letting us see your turtle! I had turtles for years. They are great pets with quiet, friendly personalities. Also, when I had Covid my heart was racing and that itself made me very panicky. Dehydration played into it as well. I think the bad part of Covid is over for you. Get well guys!

[@Patrick-xp3ep]

i had the coronavirus in 2022 and almost died of phenomena in 2013.

[@Starfish2145]

Steven my son just had it. You will be fine 🤗

[@musiquefrique]

[@ruthfrye9181]

u did great!!!

[@DeeLite220]

I’m waiting with baited breath. Love your dad’s positivity ❤. Edit: can you get to a pharmacy for the antiviral? You don’t need an RX and it shortens the duration ❤. Also, TONYYY how cool, and you were a cute kiddo!!

[@Carol-qv3mk]

Feel better soon ❤

[@chrissy24-7]

I'm sorry all of you have it...i hope you all will recover fully! ❤

[@hollynelson3336]

[@LeslieJeanneJohnson]

Hang in there, Stephen and family!

[@gaylagabriel3485]

Hi, This was a great video! You called me when you found out about your positive Covid diagnosis. I had just seen all of you for your birthday Stephen and you wanted me to be on alert! I think I just missed the contagious period, however, kept checking and took a Covid Test just in case! Thank goodness my test was negative! I am happy you are all well now! 🙌🏻🫶🏻❤️

[@HAR1FGR]

Wish you and your family family health🙏🥰

[@GregStevensReviews]

Hey Steven, I have schizophrenia and got it 5 years ago when I was 45 years old. I am getting into videography and own 3 cameras, a Sony A7 III, Panasonic GH5, and a GH4. Anyhow, the reason I was hitting you up is I want to know, what program are you are using to make your thumbnails for KZbin? Also what editing program are you using? Just curious. I am learning to edit on DaVinci Resolve, as it is free. However, I don't know what to use to make thumbnails for KZbin. Let me know. Thanks!

[@samyoubg8982]

Hope you and your family are recovering soon

[@سارهحسن-ن6ص]

[@lindawilson795]

[@mynorby206]

wish you well soon, I think it will last around 8 day , well thats my experience also that it is not as bad as it was initially when covid was first raging

[@noreenquinn3844]

Look after yourselves, Stephen.

[@chrissy24-7]

Check your BP if you have s cuff because that also can make you more aware of your own heartbeat. Also covid can affect the heart as you know, better to have more info in case of anything. ❤

[@dardan9218]

Amazing that with all your vaccinations you still have seemed to get it. Doesn't feel right. Wish you and your family all the best with this

[@jeanned386]

Does your Dad have a mask on? Even if you have covid it's good to take a walk. Just wear a mask. See you one the other side of covid.

[@سارهحسن-ن6ص]

[@ChristopherAllenbirch]

[@GlassOdessey025]

This is hilarious, it's Covid What's the big deal?

[@9UaYXxB]

@@GlassOdessey025 Jennifer, deal with your own stuff. If you came here to sneer, check your ego at the door.

[@originalvonster]

I thought it was going to be one of those back of the throat tests and your dad was telling you to do your nose first. 😂 In seriousness I hope you feel better soon.

[@TheMan40262]

Do you ever feel dizziness as a schizophrenic?

[@Aj14x]
