Hey there, completely unrelated but just fyi; the phrase is 'to a tee' not tea, I thought it had something to do with a golf tee, or t-shirt even, but on a quick Google it might have originated from 'I'll quote it to a tittle' (tittle being the dot above the lower case i) which I think is way better lol

As someone who suffers from psychosis and gets severe delusions I was so scared of watching this but I was pleasantly surprised by how respectful you were. Not that I was like "oh wow Jules is an asshole" but because people love to see psychosis as something of a Halloween story. I've had severe breakdowns due to delusions and it sucks so bad I can't help but sympathize with the glass butt guy, even if I did giggle every time you said "rump". Like I've said things that have had friends respond with laughter. When feeling better I can laugh along but in the time, I was horrified.

“Fun” fact. Most pink eye that isn’t caused by the herpes virus is caused by the common cold. I found this out when I got pink eye about a week after recovering from a horrendous cold/sinus infection. The optometrist checked for the herp with a strip and then when it came back negative asked if I’d been sick and explained the infection had gone through my tear duct/sinus system into my eyes and it’s super common. So your issues might just be the same immune failure instead of two different ones! Yay!

[@partyinthecloudkingdom]

pink eye can be caused by herpes??

[@Keznen]

You mean *one* of the viruses that *can cause* the common cold: adenovirus. There are several different viruses that can produce the symptoms collectively known as a "cold". Adenovirus is one, but several rhinoviruses and coronaviruses (there are many more of them besides COVID-19) also cause the common cold.

[@Keznen]

According to the NIH, more than 200 different viruses are known to cause the common cold.

[@Keznen]

@partyinthecloudkingdom Yes it can. And another not-so-fun fact: you can get eye herpes from unwashed public virtual reality headsets.

[@exosproudmamabear558]

As doctors we usually tend to look for one disease that explains all because of this but sometimes it gets complicated because person have chronic diseases too so things get wild. I have bipolar+hashimato throidism for example so I was using antipsychotics then antipsychotics caused seconder hyperthroidism. In this regard it was easier but then I learned my antipsychotics side effect was because of my autoimmune ensefalite. Needless to say it murked the waters a lot and doctors were scratching their heads when I explain my irregular throid problems. It was going up and down changing daily at the peak of my attack and since the prediagnose vouldnt found doctors though I was lying or just simply couldnt understand. Turns out my autobodies were attacking my dopamine receptor that regulated throid functions and antipsychotics were effecting the same receptors causing issues.. My hashimato was related to the disease too. Probably my bipolar disorder helped or caused by autoimmune ensefalite since it has iimmune aspects.

As someone with a schizospec psychosis disorder, I've always felt safe watching your videos--you've always been respectful and normal whenever video topics strayed into someone possibly suffering from psychotic symptoms, and that's always stood out to me! So many content creators (ahem, true crime content creators 😒) sensationalize and vilify all "scary" disorders. People with schizophrenia and cluster b disorders aren't uniquely inherently dangerous, and they're actually more likely to be the recipient of violence than the perpetrator. Even then, it's hard getting people to view psychosis with empathy. I swear whenever I talk to a saneist person, they make it all about their "discomfort" about the guy on the bus talking to himself or whatever. But whenever I talk to another person with psychosis, there's an instant connection and slight relief. Internalized saneism exists, ofc, but psychosis creates such a uniquely isolating and terrifying experience that it is INVALUABLE to meet people who are normal, supportive, empathetic, and maybe even know what you're going through. It really means the world. So this video was a great breakdown of the glass delusion situation! Literally world's most normal youtuber about psychosis lol

Psychopathy is not clinically recognized, and having low empathy and unnatural behavioral responses does not make someone uniquely or inherently dangerous. Also erotomania is a delusion, not a crime. Stop using mental illness (of any kind) as an indicator for whether or not someone is a good person or safe to be around. I'm litetally begging you.

My brother in law suffers from modern day glass delusions. First it was morgellans, then it was parasites, now it’s gu syndrome. It’s exhausting for not only him but the whole family. There’s no real solution when they believe their delusions are real and refuse to even entertain the thought that they might have a mental illness.

[@tigerrawr38]

As someone who is values history, is passionate about mental health, and will have been diagnosed with schizophrenia 10 years ago this October, I cannot put into words how deeply I appreciate how much you humanized people who suffer from hallucinations and delusions. I had an inpatient stay once where I become friends with an old man who no one wanted to talk to 'cause he was "old and crazy", but he'd tell me about the different parts of his body that were replaced by robot parts and government parts, and I'd talk to him about the demons I was able to see who were waiting and stalking me to kill me. Neither of us at the time knew how ill we were, but we found solace in each other in this tiny ward because instead of ostracization, we chose empathy. And empathy and sympathy for your fellow human beings is one hell of a drug. This is my first time seeing a video of yours or seeing your channel pop up in my recommendations, but your love for (accurate!!!) history and respect for mental health and your fellow humans has absolutely got this video a like and your channel a sub from me. Looking forward to seeing more! (Also, I was just going through your channel history and saw you made Daisy Brown- omg! I loved Daisy Brown!)

As someone who experiences delusions and hallucinations, psychosis is mimics of your environment (including culture). For example, auditory hallucinations in Africa are mostly command, and delusions are more persecutory.

[@bridgetteparker7719]

Whenever I hear/read about the glass delusion, I vividly remember an incident from you childhood (probably mid Elementary school age) when I woke up in the middle of the night with a peculiar sensation in my fingers and the conviction that if I wasn't careful they were going to break. I also vaguely recall that I'd been dreaming of something to this effect before I woke with the physical sensation. I believe I was also sick and feverish at the time. I got up and went to my parents room and woke up my mom crying trying to explain that my fingers felt like they were going to break. When I was older I realized that it was probably a symptom of fever or poor circulation. I also picked up on the line from PInk Floyd's Comfortably Numb about having a fever and his hands feeling like two balloons. So, then I decided that this must be a common childhood experience, but different people relate it to different things.

[@Trash-Garbage-Trash]

The Glass Delusion kind of sounds like anxiety or OCD combined with the trauma of seeing glass break for the first time as a person in the middle ages. Like, I can absolutely see myself getting into that kind of thinking after seeing glass break for the first time like that. I was born in a time where glass is everywhere and breaking glass still freaks me out. I got freaked out watching this video thinking about broken glass. Great analysis!

[@mchjsosde]

I actually had a delusion related to glass. My family has a history of schizophrenia and bipolar. While i don't have schizophrenia i occasionally have delusions and generally tend to be a hypochondriac. I stepped on glas one day as a teen and was convinced a tiny shard of glass would enter my bloodstream and travel through my body eventually cutting a vital organ, killing me. I spent hoirs trying to dig the glass out of my foot and when i stopped finding glass I keep digging, convinced there must be a pieace left because my food still hurt (like i had a spinter or something). I thought any second the piece would move from my skin to my vein especially if i walked on my foot. Eventually i stopped thinking about it, feeling hopeless to save myself if my "convictions" were even valid. I was anxious about it for over a week until my mind finally moved on. As ridiculous as it sounds, i really empathize with that woman who was convinced that she had swallowed a glass piano and thought breaking it would cause fatal internal bleeding.

[@ghostfrequencies]

god, i was just diagnosed with ocd a few weeks ago after 20+ years of not understanding why i felt so compelled to do my compulsions and being teased by my family for the beliefs that cause them so the compassion you drop at 19.27 made me tear up a little. whew

The idea that glass shattering was an anomalous when pottery and ceramics existed is kinda an oof ngl

[@Albinojackrussel]

Ehh, I'd say glass shatters differently from pottery (or stone for that matter). It tends to go to much smaller and sharper fragments. It also shatters easier.

[@ealusaid]

@@Albinojackrussel Yeah, I spent part of the video going "But pottery..." but came away mostly agreeing about the psychological significance of glass. I mean, I'm surprised if it didn't extend to fine porcelain, but I'm not an expert. But the glass hypothesis feels sensible to me partly because a lot of homely working class pottery was locally made and fairly sturdy, while glass production was highly concentrated in a few specific cities. The mental impact of breaking something that might literally be irreplacable is a looot higher.

[@Albinojackrussel]

@@ealusaid porcelain was even rarer than glass at the time, because it all had to come from china, Europe didn't know how to produce it

Hi thank you for this incredible video, your perception of the natural degradation of history's mysteries and memory, documentation is refreshing. i dont see anyone else making videos like this, looking forward to anything else you might make!

[@ohhadivist]

I LOVE the red kitty painting behind you and the windex looking drink looks so refreshing

[@WhitneyDahlin]

Love these dapper history videos! I would love to hear your take on the mad spanish queen Johanna who refused to let them bury her husband for months after he died.

[@amandamichelle4854]

Man this was such a cool video overall. Can’t wait to binge your content now 👏

[@MissJellybean]

It's so scary that you can wake up one day and your mind has completely turned against you. The scariest part is that you don't know that you're delusional. That's terrifying if you really think about it.

[@honidearest5032]

This subject was handled so well. THIS is how you joke about something while also being respectful 💕 thank you so much

[@KingsofSlumber]

watching this before an interview for a counselling course, getting in that mindset baby.

[@lawnmower-pq8vk]

Thank you for being so respectful about delusions- as someone with OCD who experiences them from time to time, you're right, while they may seem very silly in hindsight and we can laugh at the silliness of them (I even make fun of some of my older ones that I've worked past for their pure ridiculosity), they're still very very real, debilitating, and terrifying for the person experiencing them, and should be taken very seriously when actually interacting with that person!!

[@ToshiSalvino]

love your message of compassion for the mentally ill / psychosis

[@Grace-ds2xb]

thank you sooooo much for providing sources. so many people don't. anyways, i love this video. you're so funny and informative. this is my first video of yours after being so into daisy brown in high school, and i'm so glad i'm watching you. also glad for the alan in frame.

[@doreenlarson5849]

obsessed with how easy to understand you're able to make these historical happenings. wish i could take a college class taught by you

[@islandponies]

I really like the way you can empathize with those people of a long ago far away place.

[@PunmasterSTP]

I'd never heard of the glass delusion before; interesting and sad stuff.

[@Dinnyeify]

Informative, very funny, and also very compassionate! A delight to see!

[@LeeannCarver-ll2ej]

I’m sorry but I couldn’t stop thinking ICE, glass breaks like ice! Great video tho I’m definitely subbing.

[@PoppyRoseWitch]

I’d never thought about how scary it would be to see glass break for the first time. I can’t even remember when it happened in my own childhood! And the tiny slivers being left behind would definitely be jarring. Thanks for showing me a new perspective!

[@kylepenguinlover6806]

such an amazing and well researched video! it's so uncommon seeing this amount of empathy for those with psychosis, even when going to school for psychology. ):

[@MercedesHawks]

I need to see you do a video on Saint Olga of Kiev (my hyper-fixation for like 3 years)

[@calarthur96]

i was so skeptical of this video because i'm a mental health professional who works with severely mentally ill clients. so happy with how you presented this. i think it's a really great way to show people that mentally ill folks aren't stupid or broken - they're often scared and coping however they can

[@Angela-dx6cs]

As a mental health therapist I really love this video. Great job.

[@8ml888]

It reminded me when I was in the process of learning what glass was. Gosh I was scared to drop a drinking glass!

[@iamalex8457]

Idk how the hell ive never come across any of your work before. I just got suggested your video on how and why you made daisy brown. Then I watched the whole series. Now I’m subscribed to your channel because I have never been so inspired and intrigued by such a beautiful way of art. The way you made daisy brown. The talking about the way you were discouraged at first but kept going and how much the passion and meaning of everything just kept driving you. I’m 26 and trying to make my art passion into something before my chronic health issues can take that away from me. Thank you so much for making the art and the videos and projects that you do. You are very talented and an absolutely genius of an artist; and I truly hope that I can someday create and help as many people as I can like you someday. Sometimes spite can be so powerful that it makes you want to do more than you even think you can. And I just really find beauty in an artist that says, “SCREW YOU IM GONNA BE CREATIVE NO MATTER WHAT” and that creativity leads to a whole community of amazing like minded people. So cool 🧡☺️

all in all this is great storytelling ,bravo!
