My favorite part of this interview was when you asked him his age and he so proudly responded “I’m 32!” Some won’t understand, but he’s made it 32 years with his mind making every step of his life more difficult than most people’s. So many people give up and can’t be here any more. I hope he continues to be proud of himself for making it every day. I hope one day he can proudly answer “I’m 96!”

And you stay in counseling. Big applause! I've been sick all my life with bipolar 2 and major depression. No treatment till about age 30. I am now 70 and am thankful for meds and counseling. I can still have a breakdown that can last months but it passes and then life is easier. I wish you the stamina and continued intelligence to recognize what you need. Cheers!

Jeremy, you did fantastic. I was diagnosed with bipolar back in the 90's and took an overdose of lithium. After spending a week in intensive care, then in and out of psych wards I finally found the right combo of meds and therapy. I went back to school, then worked since with severely mentally ill individuals in a hospital setting. Mental illness is manageable. Just never forget to ensure you take care of yourself. I know it's vital for me to eat right, exercise, and rest. If my schedule goes off too much so don't I. 😊 I'm really happy for you that you have a support system, your wife, baby daughter and parents. You seem such a gentle soul. I've always told patients how happy I am that I didn't die when I overdosed. I'm so happy you didn't either. Here's to life. 💪💖

Jeremy you did great in this interview. You are a super likeable person. There are times for all of us where we find it hard to maintain. There is an ebb and flow to everyone's stability. So it feels so good to get to a good sturdy plateau. You have gained the wisdom now to be able to see yourself without filtering it first through everybody else's judgements. And nobody can take that perspective away from you. It's "in the can" as they say in the movie business. When we are young we don't have that perspective developed yet. And our mental health challenges makes it so hard to get there. I'm so happy for you that you found your footing. You've done the hard work and now you can share with others about your journey. Good on you Jeremy. You are helping so many other people. ❤️

@@marylougeorge9890True. Still, I’m a person of faith and I don’t think it’s appropriate to tell someone struggling with mental illness they should practice prayer and religion. For one thing, it’s not cure. People in this society used to believe those with mental and even physical illness and disabilities were being punished for a lack of faith or morals. Not just in Western society, but some others, too. I don’t think I should make assumptions about another‘a religion or spiritual life because they are struggling with illness. I wouldn’t recommend any faith practices to a client unless asked, as someone in the recovery field. I know that if my bipolar disorder is acting up, I will go through certain symptoms no matter how much I pray or study. I don’t assume someone is not engaged in spiritual practices or needs to be. I have asked clients if they have a faith or belief system that helps them in recovery. I ask if they need a referral in a specific faith community. If not, I’ll ask about their interests, and if they have a passion for something like art or music, or a career or cause that inspires them. I don’t say they need to read the Tanakh or any religious text. To me, it implies that their religion, or lack thereof, isn’t good enough, or even that it’s why they are struggling with addiction and/or mental illness. That attitude has led to a lot of atrocities, historically. I’m not implying the person who commented has any I’ll will or prejudice. I just know that if I was struggling and someone told me to read a specific religious text or consult another faith’s prayer resources I would probably feel uncomfortable, whether they meant any harm or not. In the recovery community, we stress I -statements like, “What works for me is reading this book and consulting these faith based resources “, rather than saying “read this book and watch this show”. What others choose to do is their business.

It's such a strange experience to get older and find out you have had a mental health diagnosis for most of your life that you weren't even aware of. It has happened to me twice (depression and ADHD), and both times it felt like waking up from a dream. I really feel this dude at 0:59 when he answers, "As far back as I can remember" to Mark's question. He then goes on to reflect on his life through the new lens of his diagnosis and realizes what was actually happening. I'm glad he is getting professional medical attention and that he is seeing results. Knowledge is power. More power to you brother.

"I'm so happy that I am not dead!" That hit the feels, hard. I have a chronically homeless paranoid schizophrenic middle aged son, the psychosis is so bad now that he is completely out of touch with reality. He has forgotten us, he used to call once in a while but not anymore. He *NEEDS* meds to be stabilized but that means he would need to be hospitalized and placed under a conservatorship for long term care, that won't happen (laws protect him). Every day I wonder with dread if it will be his last. I am so touched that Jeremy understands what might've happened to him and he appreciates what he has. I wish him TONS of luck, success, and happiness!

Thank you for the interview. I have a loved one with this disorder & it's been so hard to watch him go off and back on his meds. He's a completely different person. I know that medication works and I'm so tired of pill shaming. I could go on and on. Thank you Mark

In high school, you were singled out by your class, but you were different bc you responded differently than everyone else. That is absolutely intolerable. Bullying causes mental health issues beyond repair for some. Watching and hearing you, you are cool and have overcome some trying times very well. I'd love to see your art. Congratulations on being a dad! Best of luck to you and your family. 🧡

It truly helped me to stop blaming myself as much for being myself.

Jeremy, I’m from upstate too! I don’t have Schizoaffective, but have Bipolar. I was in my sixties before getting a proper diagnosis. Same as you, it took quite a while to get my medicine cocktail right. I have similar fears as you, too. But we are not alone. So sad it took most of my life to figure it out (I got told it was hormones too lol), I am so happy for you and proud of you for doing the work it takes to manage your disorder. Sometimes I miss those manic creative episodes too but they also backfired - life is sure better now! Stay in therapy-and out of your own head. Would love to see your art! You are so brilliant and happy - you seem comfortable in your own skin. You have my respect 100%. Keep on keeping on. You are amazing and you have a great story! And so glad you are still with your college sweetheart. Such a blessing! And a daughter!💕 And thank you Mark for this great interview. So inspiring!

My son suffers with the same diagnosis, and he is also 32. He was 30 before he finally got the right diagnosis, but he can't hold a job and lives with his mother, and will likely never live what most people would consider a normal life. His behavior can range from pretty close to normal, to unplugging everything in the house because he said "they" were using the power cords of lamps and such to hack all our devices and steal our account information and our money. He is very intelligent, but can't stay together more than a few weeks at a time and the wheels come off. I suffer from clinical depression myself, but it crushes my soul to see what he has to deal with. Seeing someone you love struggling just to find the tiniest glimmer of joy is torture. I hope at some point he can reach the point where Jeremy is at now.

I can’t fully express how much this video has saved me. I’m 32 and was recently diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I’m also a father of two amazing kids and have an incredible partner who’s been my rock through everything. Watching this video was like seeing my whole life reflected back at me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt different, like something was setting me apart from everyone else. I’ve had this voice in my head for so many years, and I isolated myself, keeping everything to myself until the beginning of this year. I felt so alone, struggling with these thoughts, until I stumbled across this video. It’s almost beyond words how validating and comforting it is to finally see my experience described so perfectly. Thank you, Jeremy. You’ve given me hope. My wife has been by my side for 12 years, and I can’t thank her enough for her unwavering support. Hearing about your own challenges and even the physical symptoms, like the gut issues, made me realize how deeply connected this all is. My only regret is not facing this sooner. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s truly saved me.

I’ve read that when u have Krohns, it can cause electrolytes being unbalanced, as well as your body being rapidly depleted of various vitamins & minerals, etc..can cause mental unbalancing & affect your thinking & health, mental & physical. It makes total sense. With Krohns your body isn’t processing the vital things it needs to be healthy.. I’m so glad he’s getting the help he needs & is getting his health balanced, to the best of his ability… plus a good support system is important.
