Ranty vlog 1 - Feeling isolated and on my own

Rant 1 of 3!
Gosh I'm so self obsessed aren't I. Are we all? No I don't think we are. I'm not a bad person. In fact I think I can change/save the world. I always have. It's the one thing I have clung onto. And yet how can I when save everyone else when I struggle to save myself. Ha. I'm not being unkind to myself about it anymore. I'm trying to be self compassionate in fact. Which is why I'm taking a break from making videos and using social media. To focus on myself. And yes I know that sounds self obsessed too but it's different. I need to focus on nourishing my mind in another way. I'll try and show you in the last video I put up for now which is all about self care. I hope by taking real good, deep care of my heart and soul will help ease my mind. And then maybe ill be ready to give more to others as I want! And to myself! Because I'll feel more peace. And that's what we all want so much right. Peace.
I'm sorry if this sounds silly. I just wish we could talk about this sort of thing. More than anything I do. Because we can all be fucking fragile and vulnerable and struggle. And that's ok. We just need to know what to do with it. Our kids more so than ever before. More than anything academically. Anyway this is turning into yet another ramble. I love you. Thank-you.

I understand . I am isolated from the world at the moment ; from the pain of it and the seeming madness and despair . Isolation and complete loneliness have been my mantra and reality for years. It is so painful but I can only hope that this will get better for all of us in this same position.

Hey Jonny, totally relate to this. I have been feeling this way too lately. I’m so glad you have expressed this as it sums up how I have been thinking too. Interestingly I have the same diagnosis as you. I met you at a talk in Bristol back in March this year and I am a massive fan and supporter of you and the mental health cause. When I first heard of you through The Stranger on the Bridge documentary it was the first time I knew of someone who had the same diagnosis as myself. I instantly felt I could relate to how you think and feel and felt reassured that I am not alone or strange. After being inspired by what you and Neil are achieving I now get involved with a lot of mental health charity work and am attempting the Bath half marathon next March for Rethink since watching you guys do the London marathon. We just have to stay strong, look after ourselves to help others and keep fighting good over evil in this world. Maybe that is what we are here for. Much love and thank you so much.

Suzanne Alsop I so appreciate your post. We can stand together and support mental health. I feel best when I am in a group of like minded souls sharing and laughing about our inside jokes. When I hear Jonny it helps me to see that I am comparing my insides to others outsides. I love that song “ Everybody hurts, sometime.”

Its true. The world is becoming very complicated. But it's up to us to take on the negative and continue its theme OR change what we allow effect us. I know i know i know that we can't put our heads in the sand about what's going on. If I find this link from A.H. that explains this. .. I'll put it up here 😊

Hi Jonny. I know exactly where you are coming from and totally understand your feeling of non-comprehension of the world around us and your frustration and anger. I share all of these and have for 25+ years. You are not alone: millions of people share these feelings, but lie me you have realised how hard it is to find those other people to break the isolation. You ever want to talk to me, just say. Xxxx

Hi Jonny, Maybe it's time for you to rest, you do so much to raise awareness for mental health. I really appreciate your videos, and have been watching them from the beginning. You have really helped me and a lot of others too. I have found that I find a lot of stress release and peace through painting, there are some great tutorials on KZbin (Artsherpa) etc. I didn't even realise I could paint till recently it's a creative release for me and maybe could help you too. It's just an idea you can really lose yourself painting and you have something positive to keep from it.Thank you for all you do Jonny. Take care of yourself.Peace and love

Jonny, regarding feeling separate. I just talked to my friend today, and she cannot understand why I do not like Trump. It baffles me. Social media and Network media has the ability to appeal to their tiny bases. There are others that feel exactly like you. Find them. Don’t worry about people that disagree w you.

[@TheJournalCEO]

I can relate. It's kind of ironic how alone we can feel... when other people feel that same aloneness.

[@djc6nk]

In the end we only have ourselves.

Força Jonny.

[@caramena]

OMG...you look just like my psychiatrist!

[@djc6nk]

Why can’t we be on the same team? Politics. Votes. In California, Most of my family members, my brother my sister my nephew, are Trump supporters. I can’t understand how anyone could support him. We are so divided. Americans are so divided. Being an island? I am the kind of person who says what’s on my mind. I blurt out anti Trump sentiments. People around me are polite.

[@bryceiliff4459]

I'm not sure why you're looking at Trump, either. Haha
