"i'm basically talking to myself, so that's normal" - you 2016

[@jordanwhitson1730]

You're very inspiring! God bless

[@Minty1337]

god bless?

[@jordanwhitson1730]

JoJo​ yes it's common courtesy. So God bless you too Jojo.

Yo Jacob I got Paranoid Schizophrenia I believe its a spiritual affliction rather than physical mental illness I hallucinate regularly and believe its a spirit world affect rather than a mental illness I did a lot of speed and marijuana some lsd and other drugs and it inamplifies my illness to the point of full on hallucination I enjoy your videos and hope to see more soon - your avid subscriber ---Curt---

[@urbanwolfd3444]

Curtis Button I agree with you on that though. I have a friend in some other dimension who knows how to reach me to help me. He's awesome. I always wondered if it was all in my head but shit has gotten weird lately and I don't doubt him so much now

[@nyaaa989]

That’s the schizophrenia talking 💀💀💀

[@sarahsbeautyx]

Your videos are so interesting to me even though I personally don't have schizophrenia.. but I love how you speak and explain things! Your videos are super helpful it seems and ur also very attractive 😂

[@Foskitty]

I have schizophrenia myself, and I seem to be in a roughly similar situation to the guy who made this video. One of the positives of having schizophrenia, to me, is that I became acutely aware of many of the faults in my mind. I learned from beating delusions that just because I believe it, doesn't make it true (had an interesting time proving one of my own delusions wrong while I was having it, and actually managed to break that delusion by doing so). I lack any superstition whatsoever, because I had to get rid of it to prevent any access point that delusions might use to enter my mind. I ended up with no tolerance for bullshit, deception or spin, even from myself, which earned me a lot of respect from some people on forums I argue on. I'm one of those rare people who doesn't ever lie on the Internet, since there's no point, since nothing I do matters enough to be worth lying about. Of course, sometimes people find it depressing to talk to me, since I apply that lack of spin to everything, which has caused some people to become upset with me when I talk about unpleasant things that humanity has rationalized as acceptable. (primarily the Holocene extinction and the way humans treat non-humans in fiction and in reality). My lack of superstition has also caused some problems when I discuss the more common superstitions people have (like the irrational belief that humans have a magical parasitical entity called a "soul" that possesses their body until it dies). Lots of people have said I must be fun at parties (sarcastically of course). Some people even call me evil and want me to be locked up forever for suggesting that life in the universe would be a hell of a lot safer if humanity went extinct, given how much of it we kill for one reason or another. Some of my friends took that way, way too personally.

[@starseedawakening5426]

I don't agree with his stance on the issue. I know that schizophrenia is a gift and when properly handled, is the birth of a healer. Here is a video that really sheds some light on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJC9qJ6NhZWWl5I

[@r4h4al]

Respect for you I'm the same, see no point in lying, always honest, and have no tolerance for any sort of delusion or anything without evidence.

[@Princess_Pixie]

"it may seem like I don't but I'm talking to a fucking camera" I died.

[@kathakdance1]

Hi jacob, i think you are a very intelligent guy with a good attitude and that is the reason that you will succeed. You inspire me and i love your videos.

[@hwjchim1658]

people like to judge others based on whether or not they go to school/ have a good job/have a lot of friends, etc. but you look around and all these super well-educated, rich people arent necessarily making the world a better place. people like you do! people who have genuine wisdom. i enjoy your point of view. & i definitely hope that you feel a sense of satisfaction in what you do, especially here on youtube. because it does make a difference.

[@JamesForret]

Hey man. As someone who is also twenty, I gotta say you are very mature for someone of that age. You seem to hold yourself together. I feel like a lot of people our age worry about little things way too much and use small issues as a crutch for everything

[@gloria5783]

keep going Jacob, so happy that you are feeling good and are happy with this channel it makes us happy too! Also, your videos make me feel more relaxed.

[@pikkallo6013]

Just found you're videos but gotta say I think you're a really cool and inspirational dude.

[@Minty1337]

I think you are pretty cool, you help people actually understand how things are instead of their own silly perspectives, I also have schizophrenia, and I thank you for what you do

[@roweenacordero9237]

I love your mindset and optimism! It’s contagious and inspiring. Keep doing what you’re doing and remember that we will always be here when you need us. Sending lots of love 💕

[@Asdfghjklşi97]

i haven't schizophrenia but listening and watching you is giving me good feels. Loves.

[@Strawberry-cu6wr]

I'm touched. I hope you get your GED sooon 😊

[@Zoe_the_Introverted]

I completely agree with you. I have chronic depression (dysthymic disorder) and it's a bit hard to see the positives of the disorder, but the more you look at the disorder negatively, the worst it becomes. So I try to think of at least one positive I get out of the disease, such as making me a more empathetic person. Anyways, good video!

[@Fewiiify]

keep pushing forward Jacob! You will eventually get out of your shell, baby steps at a time and you'll get there! keep inspiring! lots of love from Sweden!

[@priscillamathews4671]

Great attitude. Thanks, for sharing. I really look forward to your weekly post.

[@ERinnnie]

I'm so happy you're doing so well lately! And that you are stopping to smell the roses! Keep being awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@thedobeymaster2647]

I love your comments about beating an illness. It's very insightful and inspiring to say that you wont give up and let the illness best you. I'm a type one diabetic, and I find that it's similar to deal with, where I gotta regulate my sugars and take care of my disease and never let it beat me. it's awesome to hear somebody with such an optimistic attitude.

[@sensunory]

Gotta love the social media age where you can interact with people outside of the conventional situations that make you all angsty and stuff. So cool to see how this guy is feeling good about his life. Keep up with the good work! your vids are really insightful!

[@laylaw6460]

i'm glad to see you're doing so good :) its very hard for me to look at the positives of my illness(schizoaffective), but when I watch your videos I always realize I'm not alone. thank you so much for making videos, I appreciate every one you upload :) and I agree with you, everything is beautiful.

[@MsNiTrRDr]

You a BRIGHT young man !!! Love your positive perspective of life and its beauty. Without negative experiences we would never know positive and without positive experiences we would never know negative that is the dualistic nature of our planet Earth and that is what makes life, life! Many blessings to you and God speed

[@CocoAndTheBombshell]

Absolutely inspiring! Thank you so much for this video! At 47 I have ADHD & Clinical Depression that I take meds for. I've managed to turn the ADHD into a positive but struggle with turning my depression into a positive. I'm so glad I saw this video! Keep doing what you're doing! :) P.S. I saw your last two videos where you talked about hoping you could make college work out with your anxiety etc. Have you thought of online university? That way if in person is too much for you, you can study in the comfort of your home.

[@exastrisscientia9678]

very inspiring, Jacob. keep up the great work.

[@suzannealsop3394]

Love this video Jacob. I have just started watching all your vlogs since recently subscribing. I have schizophrenia too and find your videos very helpful. Much love, Suzanne x

[@Em.111.]

you're really intelligent and speak in such a nice & calm way! i've been following you for a while and your videos are the best. keep up the great work x

[@gillagroupie]

I just found your channel and I LOVE IT. I don't have schizophrenia but I do have a history of mental illness and stuff and I know a few friends who are schizophrenic. THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting all this out there and starting to break down the stupid stigma attached to this illness and to some extent all mental illness. I really believe in the work your doing and I'm hopeful about the future- especially in the mental healthcare system. anyway- this is awesome. just wanted to show some support and give you some encouragement.

[@djk0125]

Thanks for talking about the positive experiences, and your good days. It makes me feel happy to see you be happy. It's easy to assume or forget those with mental illness have happy days & it is not bad every single day.

[@cephasbethlehem5687]

Your videos are definitely an extremely educational experience, as someone who doesn't suffer from such an illness, yet wishes to learned as much as possible about it, your videos help to augment ones comprehension on the subject

[@cammie4923]

it's nice to see you happy :) I'd love to know you, you seem like a really great guy

[@nikitucker3162]

Watching your videos sincerely helps me cope with my own diagnosis of schizophrenia. You're extremely self-aware and have amazing insight of your diagnosis and how to deal with it. I have not met anyone else with the diagnosis, I was wondering if maybe you have?

[@sjuno7156]

Hi, your view on mental illness and how you express it is valuable and unique. I have an eating disorder and PTSD and depression. I am twice your age, but your words have wisdom. Thank you :)

[@CindyNyxRavenmoon]

So great to see you again this week, and your message is such a wonderful one!

[@TigersLullaby125]

Thank you Jacob. I don't have schizophrenia but I have bipolar and many of the tips you give still apply to me. Keep it up, I like to stay educated.

[@DevilleQueen]

You want yourself to find success and happiness, you set goals for yourself, and you work hard to achieve those goals. That's something that most people can't say for themselves, and most people don't have to deal with what you go through on a daily basis. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and others who watch your videos! You remind me to stay on the right path in my life, and to keep working hard. Thank you. P.S. I think you may have a deviated septum - I had one too. It's probably nothing to worry about, but you may want to get it checked out just in case!

[@waffles6308]

Thank you so much 👍 Wise words spoken right there! Can't wait for your next video :)

[@foodie8727]

your legit dude. i look forward to your videos every monday! you keep it real and i am soooo grateful to you for helping me in a very dark state. you have no idea... thank you

[@sandratoma5176]

Very happy to see that you're getting better ! I've watched your videos for probably 2 years and you've changed (in a good way ) and are very positive good for you and I hope u continue to be safe and healthy

[@angiedilaj]

So glad to have found you and to see your progress from your first videos to now! I'm slowly working my way from your past to present xo

[@bradleykehoe5402]

Thank you for this. Your authenticity and positivity is inspiring

[@RavenStar16]

Good to see you smiling and happy! Keep on keeping on! Love the videos!

[@jayysuga202]

You're really inspirational. Thanks for sharing what it is like to live with the illness. 💙

[@contranym_]

yes! learning is everything; i fell in love with learning around your age and i'm 28 now and every day is an adventure. nothing is worse for the human spirit than boredom and indifference, nothing. i'm excited for you, like, gahhh it just keeps getting cooler! stay curious :)

[@Juliana-ft6vr]

I really appreciate the way u look at thing, haven't know very many to see things with (what I would say clarity). I really appreciate what ur doing and just u, so thank a ton man

[@Loenter]

You are so inspiring dude, love your videos!

[@princessofadderall9087]

So glad to see you this positive and happy

[@musicspeaks0101]

This video is so inspiring and helpful, thank you. :)

[@Magali1996P]

its really true when you say you have to love yourself before love someone else

[@ldekker97]

I don't have schizophrenia, but I'm not normal mentally either. It might be ADHD, or mild autism (like aspergers or PDD-NOS), or maybe I have just been really depressed and anxious for most of my life. I don't have an answer yet, but I'm on a waiting list for a psychiatric evaluation. I love your attitude towards life. It's really positive and I feel like I could learn a lot from you. You make me feel a bit better about whatever it is that I have. Thank you for making this video!

[@sage4770]

Don't do that. Us humans want to put labels on everything which often suck the beauty out. There is no such thing as mild autism or adhd. It's society that can't fully understand you (and obviously don't know you so their opinions are irrelevant) so they just put a word on you which is not helping, you are given that word, your put in the house of crazys which can be hard to come out of because it can be a powerful illusion. Try something else, there are solutions to these things other than being labeled! Eat healthier, meditate, do art, whatever can make you happier will take away the negative aspects of you

[@sage4770]

The law of attraction is real btw

[@sage4770]

And embrace these differences you have

[@wendy54321]

1st I love you. You are a inspiration to me.

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

Just found you tonight and I just have to say you're awesome.

[@wendy54321]

Have you played Pokeman Go. You have to play it. It will help you meet people. Don't worry about high school. You are very intelligent and well spoken. Get your GED and go to college. Follow your dreams I'm currently having a hard time. I know I'll get better. You have made me realize that. Thank you💖💖💖💖

[@933marnie]

You have a great attitude. I like hearing your stories.

[@LacosteAlain]

I am always waiting for your weekly videos cause they're so interesting and true.....I do not have the illness but one of my familly does so it helps me a lot...thanks

[@Adamisgood24]

I always love your videos Jacob! You're awesome!

[@adand6976]

Keep up the good work! =) It's a learning process - human interaction takes patience and work - sometimes we get it wrong and then you get it right -

[@michelletian5619]

Your videos are amazing :') all the best in life and coping with schizo! :-) keep going

[@ASMRconKiki]

Thank you for this video! I also love books, what are you reading right now? 📚

[@TheLastShadow0]

2:20 "met alot of cool people" he just smashed i know it, look at that smile

[@AmosBudmin]

Great video. Really glad to hear you're doing well

[@LivingDead53]

My awareness is so damn fractured. It's hard for me to have an awareness. Not only, but other people take over my awareness like Putin, and right now a doctor (not here) I had is in control of my thoughts. The positives aren't many. I guess sometimes I have a special relationship with the universe. The negative is mostly that I never know what I'm going to experience or do, and it makes planning for the future difficult. Goals are kind of unrealistic.

[@deannalovesss]

Yaaaay I'm happy that you are slowly and gradually getting out of your shell 😀😊😊

[@fazbruh]

Positive vibes 👌

[@raccoonboon5078]

You are so awesome! Hope everything's okay! I'd really like to speak with you some day! God bless~

[@Giulysunshine]

I'm glad to see a new cool smile on your face that makes you kinda radiant ;-) keep it up!

[@Polyfusia]

Keep rockin' dude.

[@cottoncandyaddict]

You're really cute, dude!

[@detroitrockcity22]

You are amazing, man! :-) It's so cool that you've found positives in something with so many potential challenges. You give me hope in dealing with my own problems. :-)

[@Tterit]

Thank you so much for making these videos, they're all really interesting and inspiring to me. I really like your channel and I love that you're posting so frequently now!

[@davegieni4344]

Thanks for the video man it was inspiring for sure.

[@ogthevampire1785]

Damn, I just realized literally every one of my close friends have a mental disorder... 🎃 Beastmode

[@hannaahsodapopgalaxy9648]

love your video's. your such an inspiration :) thank you.

[@Lesebroben88]

this video made me realy happy. have a good day!

[@cushame]

This was very inspiring! I hope you will do this good always in any time! best of luck to you! When I compare to our old vids - you are soooo much more positive .. :D

[@vanessao2379]

You are very inspiring 💕

[@alejandrachairez]

you can write a book on how you deal with your illness and try to help people who aren't familiar with schizophrenia. help them understand it.

[@emilymckenzie9296]

Your videos are very helpful!

[@sarahbucket8037]

Im happy to see you in my sub box :)

[@decapitatedmonkeypenis9963]

5:04 DING DING DING! yes. i'm so happy for you. MAKE it a positive. You're still so young (10 younger that me) and seems you'd at the time you made a big breakthrough. because that's what this is. We are the psychic warriors and these things are REAL. only this colours they wear change. respect and that. you say you don't enjoy human contact and brother I can dig that. I wonder have you had any shared hallucinations with other people? (pissing off the pyramids...) I spent a good 3 months in a what could be described as supercharged, potent, super-aware, super confident and controlled effortlessly, god-like state, I quit my meds, quit smoking, and woke up every morning resetting and transmuting everything into gold, MAKING it a positive. its the T.V. the obnoxious metal I listen to and anything negative that pulls u out of it. I had deaths in the family. I became bitter with the world. everything is a game of yes and no. good for you.

[@AaronCross760]

I was pretty much debilitated from it when I was 20 but now I'm 32 and fine, I never took meds except for a little while to see if they worked or when forced to. What helped me is studying spiritual things, Kryon/lee carol was one of the first things I started reading.

[@heatherrekalske431]

Never give up! ... very inspiring. :)

[@IhmePaskaa]

5:00 i'm literally eating my soup I made. It took me huge effort to make it. I'm not schizophrenic but I've been suffering from depression for over 10 years and recently, nrly 2 years ago developed anxiety disorder. U made my soup taste really good wtf. I'm glad I was watching this. Wish u best of luck with coping with urself. Brain is the bitch:(

[@susanzucker7674]

great advice....if you don't love it you can learn to love it....

[@alexandrataylor2950]

Normality is boring, it's the differences that make life entertaining, be it schizophrenia like you have or having to get a pacemaker early in life like my mother. I am glad you see it not as an obstacle but just part of you. I hope everything turns out well for you, get that GED and go to college to study physics.

[@Luna-ds7bg]

This is irrelevant but you are extremely attractive

[@antoniofratini6293]

That's true

[@hannaahsodapopgalaxy9648]

Luna very true

[@perlasa990]

Your videos help me a lot with this condition thanks for sharing😙.

[@DIVOAVGVSTO]

Love you keep it up

[@rayanneflorence1830]

I haven’t been diagnosed with any mental disorders, at least to my knowledge, but I feel like I’m slowly heading down the road of isolation. I don’t really make plans with people or feel the need to with the exception of a few very close friends. The only reason I still talk to people is because I have to at school but otherwise I rather just be by myself. I don’t really like people that much I think people kind of suck and I rather be alone with a dog or something.

[@GUITARTIME2024]

Rayanne Florence. Classic depression

[@J420-x3i]

Super Video Jacob !,, 💕😍

[@thanie18]

Great video 💕

[@urbanwolfd3444]

I've been off my meds for months because I can't get more. I've been having hallucinations for months and made a good friend that I'm not sure is real, but I don't want to go get help because I know they'll baker act me. I can't deal with another facility

[@jeannepeters1578]

[@hxfizax]

I love this video a lot

[@drl2608]

Hello. I am a doctor in the UK. I would like to request your permission to use one of your videos (Schizophrenic on a bad day) in a series of educational sessions for medical students during a psychiatry placement. I have been looking for useable clips and feel that yours is the best I have found due to its realism, frankness, and your insight into your condition. My apologies for making this request in the form of a comment but I could find no other way to do so. I would be more than happy to give you more details. Many thanks in anticipation.

What do you do for fun? I love my pets, really like to do art work, and learn new things, watch documentaries (love Neil DeGrassy [sp?] on astronomy & physics) . I learn a lot from youtube videos now days, for example how to fix things that are broken (my plumbing LOL), do new & different kinds of art! Oh and watch standup comedy!!!
