so this week I've been focusing on different mental health disorders and
talking about the different symptoms and things like that but when it comes to
mental illness I have one really big
what is everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and welcome back to another week where I'm
talking about mental illness and different diagnoses alright and
yesterday I asked you to comment on my Instagram post and let me know which
diagnosis you would like me to talk about well you would like to be educated
about or what you think other people should be more educated about there's a
lot of great answers and I'm definitely stockpiling them so now I know what kind
of content that you want but today's topic actually comes from one of my
favoritest most loyal subscribers so be in this subscribe but we don't always
agree on things but I do really appreciate how she is always more than
willing to leave honest feedback and she's also more than happy to share her
experience with others or reach out and talk to others or let them reach out to
her so she could share her experience and help some other people so I love you
girl you're awesome so this woman is psychedelic feline and after reading all
the comments on my Instagram post she said this from reading comments I think
would be helpful to make a video to help understand actual mental illness and
words that are thrown around so casually example anxiety vers feeling anxious
depression verse feeling depressed people claiming OCD when they're just a
bit anal or perfectionist and bipolar verse everyday normal fluctuations in
mood or weather so yes yes yes I've been waiting like one of the reasons I
started this channel obviously was to decrease the stigma and I've been
waiting to make this video because like these are actual mental illnesses and
there's so many people who just throw these words around all willy-nilly and
the problem with this is is that it really dilutes the subject when
everybody uses these terms but someone actually has this diagnosis people like
okay well do they just say they have OCD or do they just like to keep things in a
nice place but you know what I mean so I think it's important as part of
increasing the stigma and increasing awareness we we choose our words wisely
and we're careful do not just throw these words around so yes first off
there's a difference between being depressed or being like sad or bummed
out now I do want to make it very clear like depression can come in certain
periods of your life so say for example you had a bunch of life's of
circumstances maybe a death in the family and then you lost your job and
then you had a breakup and all these other things this can spiral you into a
depression but it's not this kind of mental chemical imbalance it's based on
life circumstances I've talked about that a lot in other videos this is
something that is a little bit easier to climb out of like people who have this
other type of depression where it's because their brain isn't creating the
proper neurotransmitters it's much much different but the point I'm trying to
make here is like don't keep using words like depressed because you're just a
little bummed out that your favorite sports team loss or don't say that
you're depressed because your favorite Hollywood couple you know broke up or
something like that like although these things may mean a lot to you I seriously
doubt that you have difficulties and getting out of bed in the morning or
going to work because you're just so broken up about it
next up maybe you're stressed or worried but you're not anxious you're not having
anxiety this is much different everybody gets worried everybody gets
this kind of nervous feeling like before they publicly speak and things like that
anxiety clinical anxiety is debilitating it is difficult to do things it can
hinder your quality of life you might not be able to leave your house you
might not be able to go to work you might not be able to go to social
gatherings and situations it's more than just being uncomfortable it's completely
avoiding things and you're not able to live your fullest amazing life when
anxiety is just weighing you down constantly
so like when something's coming up and you're just like oh this gives me
anxiety like calm down with that because it's really diluting the word next up is
probably the one that's thrown around more than anything else and that's OCD
like this is the one that really bothers me
I show that I used to get into a lot was called obsessed
it's actually the original show in which our hoarders was founded upon so some of
you might watch that show hoarders but there was a show called depressed I wash
I'm like man OCD is rough like it is like if you know somebody with legit OCD
like it is difficult it is very difficult because it is like these
compulsions and you will get in tanks anxiety if you don't do certain rituals
or certain things so just because you like to you know make sure that this is
straight and this is straighter you're not your house is nice and neat like
these you just think you're a clean person congratulations you might be a
neat freak but this is not OCD like if there is something out of place can you
not sleep at night okay if you don't do a certain ritual can you not perform
other tasks like people with OCD like I can't even imagine like part of
addiction is very obsessive and compulsive but from what I've seen with
people with diagnosed OCD it is nowhere near what they go through so it breaks
my heart when I see people who are just like I like to keep my pens on this side
of my desk I'm really OCD about it I can need to knock that stuff out so
next is bipolar oh I'm so bipolar I'm bipolar no okay listen
our moods are constantly changing they're constantly changing one thing
that I like about meditation is it relates it to kind of like what
psychedelic feet feel on set it's kind of like the weather okay
depending on your day depending on your circumstances your moods can fluctuate
okay but like it's not bipolar okay bipolar is another very difficult mental
illness that people struggle with and you need to really realize that like
people who Reese's manic states and they do things that they wouldn't normally do
they have these grandiose ideas and they they think that they're untouchable and
invincible and things like that they a lot of people like with mania but more
so with hypomania like they get themselves in very dangerous situations
and then worst of all when it comes to that like the crash that depression that
comes along with it is very very rough for some people with bipolar disorder
this depression is worse than people who have just you know major to
massive disorder so like no you're just having some mood fluctuations it's not
bipolar okay and last but not least this is something like man like okay so how's
a youtuber as somebody you know trying to grow an Instagram and stuff I
research I research different keywords and phrases and and hashtags and stuff
and like when I was looking up the word you just see so much nonsense on there
like what what like I get it I get it and like trust me I don't mean to be all
snow flaky about this stuff but mental illness like that's my thing am i you
know it's very difficult seeing people just tossing this word around like
addiction is insanity like when you say like oh yeah I'm such a shoe addict
right right have you ever not bought your chil your child clothes or food so
you can get shoes right or like oh I'm such a coffee addict have you ever
stolen from your parents in order to get coffee like addict there's something
that's thrown around a time you know hey I get it like a lot of people doing this
and this is the thing this is why I make these videos it's like no a lot of
people aren't doing it in a malicious way they don't mean any harm by it but I
have this channel to try to educate people let you know like hey this is
kind of hurting the issue like this is kind of hurting what we're trying to do
with mental health and mental health awareness and all that kind of stuff
because people just keep throwing these words around the more we use it the less
these words mean so if you think about if we quit using these words so show so
much when you find out somebody's actually OCD or bipolar
oh wow you have it you are you actually have that diagnosis because it's not
being used every other five minutes right so like we got a look at other
social topics that are in our environment right now
like if you are a you know just for example like a white guy I'm actually
half african-american for those of you who didn't know like imagine like a
Caucasian person going up to you know an african-american person saying oh yeah
man I know the struggle I know I get it no you don't like you might have gone
through struggles but it's completely different
Oh even better yet it'd be like me as a
male like if my girlfriend was going through you know her menstrual cycle or
something like that I started to be you know talking about that like if she gets
cramps I'm like oh yeah I got a crappy other day like no or like if somebody
went through child labor and they were talking about how painful and hard and
difficult that was or the nine months of carrying a baby I'm like oh yeah one
time I like twisted my back like what what like as a person like you get
offended by it or like think about a cancer patient who's like going through
chemo and just costly sick and dealing with all that stuff
worrying about life and death and then they go through chemotherapy you're like
oh yeah I used to throw up a lot when I had the flu like it
it seems really insensitive and that's what we got to talk about this stuff
with mental illness like so do me a favor do me a favor like please share
this video and GK people let people know like hey you've got to kind of be
careful with that stuff because mental illness is a very serious serious thing
