Where my sanity at? I don't know. But that's ok...

Watching this after I bookmarked it a few years ago, impressed by your honesty and good intentions, saying so many right things in the face of life which is, let's face it, not easy. I hope you are well

[@JSSAN]

Over analysing is something we do a lot Jonny and usually over something someone else has said. Just take each day as it comes. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I think you and your loved ones will know if you are struggling to stay well. This could just be an over thinking phase. I have those and the paranoia gets worse too. Intrusive thoughts that won't back off. Just take care please but if possible, go with the flow, minute by minute, and if you aren't well...it will get sorted, remember that. It always gets sorted. Rest whenever you can. You have helped others, let others help you, even if it is just words of reassurance ...people care about you.

Hi jonny, I find it best to take each day on face value and take an 'it is what it is' approach rather than analysing everything. Doing your best is ALWAYS GOOD ENOUGH. much love bro.

[@cressharper1691]

You’d be amazed by the number of people’s lives you have made a difference to. Just because they don’t all come and shake your hand doesn’t mean they’re not there. We are all different and no one is perfect but we get by. I too have missed your videos, was really good to see you again. You need to look after yourself as well as others. Keep up the good work, lots of love. X

[@rickyrickardo4913]

You are a beautiful person jonny. Both inside and out. You are very important in this world. Keep doing all the great work that your doing. I’ll bet you’ve truly helped a lot of men like you. Weather you realise it or not. ❤️😊

[@Sabazinus]

I've watched a number of your videos this morning. One just randomly showed up in my recommended viewing. Now I just want to hug you and hold you and tell you that everything will be ok.

[@vald3064]

Maybe I understand what you're going through, or at least part of it. Last month I had a bad relapse which was totally unexpected. Felt awful for a week. Then it got better again, but I've been under some stress lately and been questioning my mental state the past few days, not sure if I was doing okay or not really. But, as you say, it's fine if we're not perfect or feeling perfectly well. It's fine as long as we're doing our best, because that's what matters in life.

[@carlosenchina9747]

Great to hear you again! thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. You are an inspiration for a lot of people. Step by step … you have accomplished so many things

[@johnpalermo4466]

Right there with you buddy

[@jamesb.1826]

Love & well wishes to you. Thank you for this video. I often get caught up so terribly with everything I'm not doing well enough that I get paralyzed by despair. Thank you for reminding me to focus on doing my best & being proud of those results not lamenting because they arent up to another's standards. Cheers

[@reynolds1949]

Watched a lot of your posts but the first time I've commented. You've said it all. What is sanity? You're doing the best you can, no-one can do more than that. Be content that you're doing what you're doing. and be kind and compassionate to yourself. Good wishes and love X

[@snsonline1640]

Hi Jonny. I think you’re doing everything right but you seem pretty tough on yourself st the moment! You’re genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve met and it upsets me to see you unhappy or questioning stuff to such an extent. I hope you get a chance to kick your shoes off and relax in the early Feb sunshine - I’m sitting out in the garden as I type and enjoying breathing in the fresh air deep and slow (also watching the insects at work in the grass - quite mesmerising and distracting in equal measure!). Keep up the amazing work but I hope you find a good way to unwind and reboot too. Would be lovely to chat again whenever. Hugz - Nick (SNS Online) x 👍

[@billyfaires1]

Your videos are an inspiration. A very enlightened individual. Thanks for being so open and honest. It’s refreshing to watch something form the heart and that’s s relatable in ways. Keep YouTubing. You’re awesome xx

[@startechcode]

Hi Johnny so cool to see a new video from you, 😉 just remembered you have me and all your friends who watch your videos we are all here for you! ☺️

[@yepsirree]

youve helped me a lot with your videos, thank you. i wish you the best. the constant questioning for me is debilitating, but i find creative outlets help to get my mind off of it. you are so artistically wonderful. i hope art and beauty surround you and your heart.

[@justsayin3647]

You may not be perfect but, you are fabulous. Lots of love to you.👍

[@mikeyo1234]

Love you bromeister. Be you. You are loved. Take care, Mike

[@markhardy5535]

If working adds something to your life and your gaining satisfaction from your work do it. If you’re feeling stressed or anxious and a break is required take it. Don’t pressure yourself over what’s expected of you, but what feels right for you...

[@Mummy323]

So glad to see you again and see a new video. I have a tendency to over analyze my sanity and stability as well. You have been such an inspiration to me and so many others and we will always care for you.

[@lowonlife]

Good to see you again, Jonny! To be honest, I think your friend raises a good point. Although it might not be necessary to take a break from work, it's important to take enough time to relax and calm the mind. Whether that's through meditation, taking a long bath, painting a picture, or just chilling out, it doesn't matter, as long as it's frequent and calming. Something I've observed in myself (after overcoming 13 years of depression) is that when I'm angry, or upset, or reminded of something I don't like about myself, it's easy to fall back into destructive patterns of thinking, such as paranoia, over-analysing or feeling unworthy of love, for example. Ten years later, and I'm still not the man I want to be, I'm still not as "better" as I'd like to be, but I think this is largely due to the way I have perceived my life... It's as if the events of my life have been moving forward like a boat on a river, and I've just been caught in its wake the whole time. But really I should think of it the other way around... I am the captain, I steer the boat where I choose, and what I leave behind in my wake are the events of my life. I kinda went off on a tangent there, lol, but anyway, hope this helps! ❤

[@johnniep3844]

Living your best life... and that’s ok! It’s what I try to achieve every day.

[@jacobpeople3917]

The best is all you can do. Take it easy Jonny

[@MrJeffreysChannel]

You'll be ok...you will Survive it all.. all the best to you in everything..

[@suzannealsop3394]

You’re just like me Jonny and how I react and see things (have same diagnosis or could be similar character). I wouldn’t question whether you are sane or not when there are truly evil people doing such bad things. You are doing such good. When I am at work with people who do not have a diagnosis of mental illness I can see how my brain works differently. Likewise there are a few that I know have a diagnosis of a mental illness and can see similarities in how I behave compared to them.Your heart is good, don’t let your brain deceive you. It’s very important for anyone and especially for us that are managing a mental illness to have a break regularly so that we don’t totally loose ourselves. I know that I try and do too much and it affects me badly. I had my volunteer day at Glenside museum (Bristol) yesterday and Stella and I were thinking of you. We send our love. 🌸 Xxx

[@Mrpoulenc1899]

Many thanks for the highlighted comment, most kind. i do hope that this day is being kind to you. :-)

[@hw2050]

I think you’re awesome. X

[@funknowhereman]

Stable is a word I use a lot. If you are stable you are doing well.

[@JCLxEAST]

Good job mate your doing better everyday.

[@unearthed.]

I wish you knew that you weren't crazy; that you were actually on to something. It's so taboo to discuss, and to admit. You can feel the truth of reality, but get mixed up because everyone is on a different path. If enlightenment is discovering that You are everyone and everything; then my there is many ways to get lost. But lets never speak of that- better to listen to the 99% of normal people that are engulfed by the giant cosmic wink. #AWarriorDoesNotFearInsanityNorBlinksAtTheLightAndDark.

[@Mrpoulenc1899]

Is this vlog a genuine cry for help, are you reaching out for some assistance and stability Jonny. ? PS you look a little twitchy on your meds ? should this be looked into. My Kindest Regards to you, Simon.
