Uh what????

@@Wont_wood yup, america had a creepy clown craze couple years ago

omg i remember this! same thing happened in the uk and it was so strange.. once someone threatened that they would break into schools and my poor friend had a panic attack because she was terrified of clowns :(

Omg yeahh the freaking creepy clown shenanigan must’ve been terrifying, when I was in middle school we had to go on lockdown because of the clowns it was terrifying and I was debating whether to jump the fence or not

@@akush_1643 wow it got so bad that your school had a lockdown?? I hardly knew it was happening.
Although at the time I wasn’t on the internet much

Hello there Peyton. You and I may not know each other but I want you to know that you are one brave individual, and I respect you sooo much for acknowledging the fact that you are in distress. Sorry is just a word, but I’m so sorry that you had to live all these years with parents that didn’t provide a safe space for you since you were a child. They chose not to listen to you, they were always annoyed around you, nothing you did ever seemed to make them love you and you are filled with years of hurt and heartbreak. I want you to know that you are precious, you are important and it’s not your fault that your parents deprived you of love. You matter, you are worthy and nothing is wrong with you. Your parents are just taking out their anger on you for no reason. I hope you get the help that you long for and may you have a successful journey of healing from all the pain your parents caused you since you were a baby. Even if there were children at school who bullied you and teachers who humiliated you, please know that what they did to you was wrong and that you didn’t deserve it. Sending you lots of love and support ✨💝

Same happened to me once
Family thought the medicine I was taking would make me grow boobs and be shorter etc cause it had steroids in it when I literally needed it to survive and ignored the doctors requesrs
Eventually my body started “rotting” to the point where my arms and legs were so infected and riddled cuts and disease that they said if this continued, they’d just have to slowly start amputating me sinc ethe infections were spreading at a rate where I was losing the ability to move at all.
Literally only through begging and pleading, did my folks finally cave.
No kid wants to be a burden, but some of us sadly were perceptive enough to pick up on the fact that If we’re not vocal about what’s bugging us and enforce the change ourselves, no one will, because sometimes, no one’s coming to save you, even your parents.
And that’s one of the most horrible realizations for a kid to face

this is exactly what happened to me!! it led me into deep depression and horrible ptsd and paranoia from my untreated and unrecognized schizophrenia

I don't know if I have schizophrenia and I don't want to assume I do cuz......... self diagnoses isn't ever good. I just wanted to say what I experience and I want to know if I should talk to a doctor about it. It first started happening when I was 13 and I started developing depression and anxiety. This continued for a while and I struggled with self harm. I became very compulsive and would do things for reason's I didn't know or understood why I did it. I went to the doctor because my parents where worried about me. Later I ended up going to therapy and I figured out I was diagnosed with ADHD and clinical depression. I was prescribed medication but my parents wouldn't let me take them since they thought it was bad for me and how they have sorts of after affects so instead my parents would give me THC as a form of natural medicine. I never fully treated those things but this time it feels different. It isn't really like anything I felt before. I'm have problems remembering things, along with fully forming sentences like I can speak but my mind randomly goes blank. I see this misty sometimes and its like it is right there in my room. I see this figure of a man in the shadows. I always thought it was spirits or whatever. I tried to tell my mom but she just said some people have the minds eye. I don't see them all the time its sometimes and then they disappear then sometimes I see them again. It scares me. Then it has gotten worse where then I became extremely paranoid so much so to the point I always thought someone was out to get me and I had to leave my lights on at so I can see whoever comes into my room. I always am feeling paranoid. I hear this clicking noise and sometimes I feel like I hear someone whisper or say my name and I look around and I am all alone. I have also had experiences where I feel like someone is touching me yet I am alone. It is a very distinct feeling like someone is touching me to the point of if I were to touch myself in the same spot I couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if it is because I am stressed especially since I have been dealing with some major stuff recently or if it is part of my other mental stuff. I am currently 16. I know it isn't as extreme as people with diagnosed schizophrenia feel but is that normal? I know people with ADHD experience other stuff besides just constantly being fidgety, I wonder if it has something to do with that since paranoia is part of ADHD

I’ve talked to my therapist because my mom thinks I should get tested but my therapist keeps blaming it on anxiety and autism which I have a diagnosis for both

Yes! I thought I watch SBSK and think the channel is awesome.
Cecelia is doing really good to help show what schizophrenia is and how she deals with it.
I also like this channel. A good way to learn about health conditions and lifestyles.

100%!!!!!❤

"Normalize" I hate this word. It's overused and it could imply that you think inducing it is a good idea. I don't think many would think that, but normal does have a mathematical definition.

She’s honestly amazing. As a person with a mental illness- we could not ask for better representation:)

I just don’t drink at parties.

I just don't go to parties.

Parties? Never heard of them

Social What?

I just dont..

I think he hasn't said that in a while.

It was "wondrous" rather than "wonderful" like you said. But yeah, same meaning.

He never said wonderful tho. He used to say wondrous

i mean he can still say “wonderful world” if he does a video about a lighthearted subject, but true most of his recent ones were a bit heavier

I think he stopped at the Police Brutality Survivors interview, or it was at another serious one

Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.

YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Is he on instagram?

Yes he is. dr.sporessss

@Nex i Exactly! Manipulating someone who has a hard time getting a grasp of what's real and what's not is a real dick move, but unfortunately easier than manipulating someone who's neurotypical.

It’s definitely unfortunate. People with schizophrenia are 3D just like everyone else. Their disorder is not all they are. My grandfathers sister had schizophrenia and I never met her because she lived in a home and my grandfather didn’t get along with her. I don’t blame him though because when they were kids she did stab him but that’s not completely her fault.

My bf has schizophrenia and honestly, if we don't talk about it, NOBODY KNOWS or notice. He has a good job and one day he'll be the boss of the compagny. People just hear things about this mental illness when there's a murder in the news or something like that... that's sad.

@@user-lb6bn8vy3e My grandfather's brother was also schizophrenic. He died of Lou Gehrig's 2 years ago and was the most gentle soul ever. He was paranoid as hell and thought the government was spying on him but he's never hurt anyone except for himself. Btw, love your pfp lol. Jared is perfect

Most of the time they have had an experience of someone being abusive to them as they are vulnerable, not the other way around, it’s so unfortunate how misunderstood it really is, it’s great to see videos like these, hopefully more people will learn more and understand that people with mental health issues are not dangerous or crazy

Thank you for the advice!

Like I’m already delusional about my schizoaffective disorder (thinking I’m psychic, have superpowers, and/or can see other dimensions) 🙄 please don’t feed into my delusions.

Having friends and family feed into your delusions and hallucinations can cause major problems. That simple remark could cause someone to spiral down the rabbit hole and end up in the hospital.

👏👏👏

Ik

make this happen please, spread awareness and let people know that they are not alone and that even if they go through this they can get through it and are loved !!!

I totally agree!

@@spooks7076 I'm sorry for being a bit stupid but what is a therapy survivor

Yes!

@@ninjadoge142 conversion therapy survivors are people who have been a part of or forced into conversion therapy, which basically is therapy parents usually send there kids too too try and stop them from being gay or “pray the gay away” but it’s really harmful. And often it uses electro therapy which is really awful.

Yeah, it's nice he only uses it for people talking about their interests or jobs.

He realized, once he started getting into more serious topics that it wasn't appropriate anymore. Just saying the "world of.... " can encompass anything he talks about, whether it is light hearted or not

He still does. Only when it applies. But he has been getting into more serious topics rather than "the wonderful world of anime cafe maids" don't get me wrong, respect them and their respective jobs but this is spreading awareness and helping people. I love these more serious "controversial" topics. The things people don't like talking about, but it needs to be.

I noticed that too. He’s awesome

I noticed too, ever since an episode where someone said "I dont know if Id call it wonderful"

true!!

Yes

exactly

Yes

Or he’s being polite for a KRplus video because it’s his job, either or

I'd be ok with it. There are worse ways to go.

honestly tho.. people are scared of people with schizophrenia, when in all reality, we should be scared FOR them. i would shit myself if a tree fucking threatened me like that. the one thing i should be safe from, plants, are now coming after me... that poor guy!

am i crazy bc everytime i go outside i get alice in wonderland effect where everything feels super small but my hands and feet felt fucking huge, and then building started telling me that they would collapse on me, like i could HEAR the building say that not from my head, but they are talking to me. help

@@-sorrymasendeshita-3039 You're not crazy. You might have something like the people in the video. You should do your best to bring it up with a trusted adult if you're a teenager, and tell them you want to get help and you want to go to a doctor or something to get diagnosed and figure out what is going on and get treatment for it.
Show them this video for example as something to show how real these things actually are. It might help convince them to take it seriously.

Normal stuff??? Specially the whole tree noise like as if it's breaking sometimes you walk looking down and feel a leaf grazing toir cheek you look and the tree is going back and forth, damn nearly crush you like a fly, for me as I live in the city is walls mostly they are so unnaturally bend, and about to fall on you

@@myamii1782 Ah okay. Thank you for clarifying

i think it’s really because he’s respectful. if they don’t wanna answer a question, they don’t have to. if they wanna talk about something he didn’t ask, they can. and they get to tell THEIR side entirely unscripted with no limits in a safe space where, like with dissociaDID, if they say something they don’t want aired, it isn’t! it allows people to really say whatever they want and know that if they misspeak and say something they don’t want on the internet, it won’t be!

I want to hear about how therapists manage to separate themselves emotionally from their patients and cope with their work as well as personal lives because therapists have their own ups and downs and tbh therapists are modern superheroes

@@trollrat2828 haha that's true tho

This^

@@Sweaterlatethannever Self care is vital! And also realizing that as a therapist, you can teach your clients different techniques and listen to them in session and encourage them to do those techniques outside of session, but you can’t control what the clients do after session. You can’t control if they do their homework or not, for instance. All you can do is the best you can while you see them, the rest is on the client.

I mean.... it can make some individuals dangerous... I had a girl try to stab me claiming she was with a government black ops organization and that she had to kill me. I get what your saying but that's not true. This lady was trying to break into my house to do her laundry by the way. I'm not saying most are like this but she certainly wanted to kill me.

@@kozusaisima9471 I never said that it CANT make people dangerous, it absolutely can. That doesn’t mean its okay to assume all schizophrenics are dangerous because they have schizophrenia

Hows life been going?

Your just gonna brush that off bro? That's stumped scientists as tk why and as a high dose mushroom user once a month I see and talk tk things

That would mess with you so bad

when ?

That happened to me ,like I was laughing telling jokes, talking about music just vibing when suddenly he stopped and whisper in my ear " do you know you are all alone? you are always alone" it was like a snap I was alone at a park, talking so happily and suddenly I feel cold, I haven't talk with him since then I miss him.

This is literally what i experienced on LSD

Interestingly, it's something that a lot of women tend to do while having a conversation, but is less common for men, but I think everyone should do it more, responding to what someone's saying without interrupting them is a big part of active listening!

Yes! I actually was talking about that today in school. It’s a life skill, and doing that reassures the person that he’s listening to them.

Oh! In norway we all say that in conversation. It's like a confirmastion that they understand what you said, and/or is ready for you to tell more

Active listening! Also leaning forward slightly having an open stance and maintaining eye contact helps! All which Anthony does

Yes. Also how he asks questions and rephrases what they say sometimes for confirmation

I hope you are doing well

yesss !!! and adhd is more than just not being able to focus !!

Thank you, the ADHD community thanks you. Meds are either too strong, barely work, or have a side affect like reduces how hungry you feel which might not sound bad, but I didn't eat lunch on school days for about 4 yrs. Also, the rest of this is just me expressing myself to get this stuff off my chest. Sometimes, your brain when reading just doesn't register what you are reading properly and you read something 7 times over OR you read a paragraph of your book and then you realize that processed none of that because the whole time you were thinking about your favorite DOOM game. Another thing is that I tend to scratch my scabs and pick my nails because I want to do SOMETHING with my hands (why are you still reading this!?). I have meds that are way to strong to the point where it is hard to express myself, I'm always super quiet, and EXTREMELY bored because nothing gives me much joy. Why did you read this??

@Sequoiah Dreams Nah dude I'm pagan sure but I even went out and checked it out, nothing was really wrong and I even brought a knife incase it WAS a real person but no it was nothing, but I am pretty scarred and I do think like MAYBE it was a ghost because whenever I was walking out of my bathroom I turned off the lights and out of the corner of my eye I saw a black thing, kind of like the one before but it was behind me and I immediately stood in shocked for like 3 seconds then I slammed the door and just sat down hyperventilating so

@Sequoiah Dreams Schizophrenia is mixed with hallucinations and paranoia. Seeing things or hearing things you know for a fact aren't SUPPOSED to be there. The imagines you see can be extremely scary or intensely traumatic depending on how fainthearted you are. You get paranoid that everything or everyone is against you because of the things these scary imagines are telling you. Being a medium just means you see ghost that you can be classified as once living people, who came to you for help, with something they have unfinished business with, from their previous life. Being a medium is almost like a blessing, in disguise. While schizophrenia is just a bunch of jump scares waiting to haunt you. None of the hallucinations have meanings or a purpose like the ghost have for mediums.

I don't have schizophrenia but I literally see shit like this

There is so much more to mental health than people realize..

The things leading up to etika’s death hits me so hard. Like..... people around him were genuinely concerned but sometimes more people need to help out in order for a positive out come. Instead, most of his fan base was clowning him, especially the day police had to force themselves into his apartment. People need to be more aware of the signs. :(

Facts, I have depression and anxiety but all mental disorders need to be talked about!!

my mom needs to hear this tbh

Yes!!!! There's such a stigma attached to those two because everyone walks around saying they have them because they're experiencing the feeling, NOT the disorder...
We really need to start having these discussions. These people really teach us that disorders are 1) not something that defines you or your personality and 2) are able to be overcome to a semi-comfortable extent. The people who use their disorder as an excuse are those who most likely don't even have it to begin with.

That's really sad to hear. I hope he's okay. I hope you're okay too.

@@leizero Thank you. He hasn’t talked to me in a few months now. He has a tendency to do that during his episodes. But last I heard from a friend he was excited for Halloween. I’m still recovering, but as I also have a mental illness, it hasn’t been easy. Thank you for your kind words, stranger. ❤️ I hope you’re doing okay too.

sending lots of love & i'm wishing you guys the best of luck.

No way youre in college and that idiotic
You let a man off the internet you hadnt met move in with you?? What if he rapes you? Secret child molester?? You sound incredibly immature and naive... Thankfully he was someone who was vulnerable himself and not a predator. Everyday isnt promised... Wow.. You are definitely lucky.

@@ceceruben6113 wtf.. did the whole point of the message just fly over your head

anyone who dislikes an Anthony Padilla video must be one of those people who just dislike KRplus videos for no reason.

They probably know a different kind of schizophrenic tbh and they're unable to be okay with normalizing this disorder :/

Hey! I’m entering high school soon, and honestly I’m really interested in psychology, mental health and stuff like that...what’s it like working with mentally ill people? I can see it’s very draining for you, and I’m sorry you’re feeling so drained. But do you think you could go into detail? I’m really curious! It’s completely optional, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to!

I work in an acute psychiatric ward. I have also done a clinical psychology degree and masters. The reality is a lot different than what is taught in lectures and in books etc. I think you really have to see and work with people with complex conditions like schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and personality disorders. It can be really really hard, especially when people are self-harming, head-banging, ligating, but it’s really lovely to help people, even if it’s just helping them get out of bed and to have a walk around the ward. Could talk all day about it! The stigma against mental illness is slowly decreasing, but I think the general public need to be educated on more than just Anxiety and Depression and there’s so many more mental illnesses out there that drastically affect people’s lives.

@@mollieh7836 I agree with that last statement...it’s really interesting how misinformed we are on a lot of mental illnesses. Especially stuff like Schizophrenia, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Bipolar disorder and stuff like that. I think since we’re so undereducated on topics like that they’re really misunderstood and people try to connect the disorders with violence. I’m glad you’re there for people who need the help you give. It’s refreshing to see people like you who see the positive side in people! It must be hard seeing someone harm themselves though, I’m sorry that you have to see that.

As someone who has been that teen in and out of in-patient treatment, you’re unbelievably appreciated 💕 thank you for what you do

Thank you for everything you do!!

I'm so sorry. my grandmother and my aunt have both schizophrenia, diagnosed many years ago. recently another cousin begins to show many symptoms despite not being diagnosed. I know how difficult it is for them and the family. we definitely need to educate ourselves more on this subject

I know what I'm about to say won't fix everything you have been through, but you are such a strong person to share this. The fact that you were worried about them just shows what a caring and understanding person you are. I don't mean to be rude but I hope you see someone to help your mental health, because mental health is important and I believe no matter how "happy" a person is they always have things they can benefit from that. I hope you know you are loved, by not just the people you know but Anthony, and all of us who are in this fandom. If you ever need anyone to talk to please know we are here, because you deserve so much joy. XOXO

My dad was diagnosed with schizophrenia and dillusional disorder when I was six, my life changed a lot. I’m 12 now and it’s just normal, we live with it, it’s not a big deal. We have our ways of dealing with it but I really appreciate it when people are respectful of it as well.

@@rubyhughes7901 the fact that you are so young but understand more then most of society is amazing, you are such a wonderful person. Please know that this entire fandom cares for you!

'The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't' I agree. We can do way better than this.

You should send him an email or a dm, I'm not sure Anthony can see all the youtube comments.

The CPS system is so broken, I’m sure your girlfriend is lovely and does her job correctly but the idea of a entire video dedicated to praising CPS and CPS workers would be revolting to watch as someone who grew up in the system and was taken advantage of by multiple CPS workers, and have heard hundreds of story’s of abuse and lack of empathy or care from other Forster children experienced from their case workers. If the video showed the good (like perhaps people like your girlfriend) but also exposing the true evil that can occur in the system, I would be pleased as would many other foster care survivors.

please email him!!!

@@Destinyisforlosers24 as a former foster youth, I agree with you. My case worker forced me to drop out, paid for my cigarettes, which me at 16 thought "wow so cool" but me as a parent now is actually like WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS WOMAN THINKING?!, and actually had a guy pull my step dad out of the courthouse to make threats and get him riled up so she could have ammunition. Oh and she tried to adopt my sisters and I to a legit pedophile before my mom even had her trial for her parental rights. That dude stalked my fb page for years to figure out if my sister, who was only 8 at the time, had "grown up" enough for fb and then pressured her to meet up with him despite being back in my mom's care because he thought they, and I quote, "had a close relationship" we met the guy like 3 times, one of which was an over night visit that we all hated and stuck around each other during.

Please no.

Must be a cut edit

yeah, he was removed from the video for some reason, i've been looking through the comments and haven't figured out why yet

​@@chobbis3 that's weird

Don't mind them,they're heartless.Stay strong,stay happy!!!

Love you too, you are really strong :)

Wait have you been diagnosed, because what you described is what I get.. I get voices from just outside my ears and sometimes futher away.. I see pretty normal people or shadows.. sometimes it’s really scary stuff but I don’t know weather to think it’s schizophrenia or just my mind being over creative. The voices and images are not usally bad tho so I’m not sure if I should get anything checked out or not.

I'm mildly concerned I have schizophrenia from watching this.. I have tactile, olfactory, visual, and auditory hallucinations when stressed.

Wow. You are so strong. I couldn’t imagine what you’re going through! You’re a wonderful person!

it was an honor to have you on, kody! thanks so much for speaking about your personal experiences in such a vulnerable way. i appreciate you, dude

THIS IS THE GUY!!! HI!

I just subscribed!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

@@EMDevice Hello! its me!! lol

@@EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken Thank you for subscribing!! I appreciate it!

Hi! Anthony has created a video about autism. It's a bit older

He already did one covering autistic people

Indeed... I have narcolepsy and although I’m not in a place to join him, I still hope he makes a video on it with others someday because it’s really unknown in the world. My first symptoms started at 5, but I wasn’t diagnosed until 20, after many years of fighting against the many doctors who said it was anything at all.

@@kirstencallaway421 Oh really I'll check it out then

Yes!

Can you tell me more about what that was like? I’m extremely open to being with somebody who has a mental disorder but I have no idea what dating someone with schizophrenia specifically would be like

@@grayolsen8769 I'd like to read how does it feel too

Lol quite the opposite for me. One guy kept pursuing me but him being 20 and me being 15 ran alarm bells for me and ended up blocking him. I feel bad, cuz he was a nice guy all in all, but when his voices acted up (his doctor would change doses every now and then) he'd tell me some shit I couldn't deal with.

I also dated someone with schizophrenia, and I have to echo what you said. She was the sweetest person I'd ever met. We connected very well, she would sometimes ask me to verify a noise/voice and tell me some of the things she saw. The only person I've ever been in love with

@@kiarranarisse She did that as well with me. She'd on occasion if things got too hard to handle, she'd ask me to confirm or deny the presence she was seeing and hearing. She brought me, someone, who has Emotional Numbness, honest to God happiness, and joy. People should never, ever, judge others for something as foolish as a mental disorder. We're all humans.

SAME

I always like to say the most dangerous ones are the sane people that have a completely rigid understanding of life and refuse to understand anything that is different.
These are the ones that use their fears as an excuse to hurt and violate others. The rest of us are just people trying to fit in when we forget....we out number them quite a bit if we could see how many of us exist.

@@SageIceDragonX in the business we call those people _____phobes

If someone said to me they have schizophrenia, honestly my first genuine reaction would be "oh my god😮 am i your hallucination??"

@@user-ku9xx1gw3v That would be considered rude to some, even as a joke.

You're a good man / woman.
This comment warmed my heart. Thank you.
