Hey everyone today I wanted to talk about some pretty full-on important
stuff but we also recreated our garden and I filmed a bunch of bodysurfing
stuff out in the ocean and that is really good medicine for your mental
health just being creative and also creating a garden you're reconnecting to
nature as well so hopefully I can inspire and encourage a few people to do
that what has been on my mind this week is
the fact that amy has gone deathly quiet as soon as I
started talking but yeah I was probably the closest to take him out in life that
I've been for quite some time on Monday - a few days ago and I was I was ready
to go well I like if I really go inside myself and I think about it like I was I
was really close to physically doing it like I could have like one action could
have been the end of my life like one physical action but mentally I was much
further away like I wasn't mentally prepared to take that one action but I
was in that place and I was I don't know how to explain it but it's like once I
was in that place and I saw myself physically in that place I was one
physical action away from ending everything I just had the like all of
the like the feelings of the consequences of that action and thoughts
of like my family and my friends and everything it flooded into me and I just
like broke down and I had a big cry and I like let go of all of that
that suffering that was inside of me new little plant babies
well I think I'm gonna get that put the huzza tumeric in it and pour all the
soil in there so it grows like a green plant and then when the plant wilts
that's when you harvest the root I am an amateur gardener I don't really know
what I'm doing
it's just all a learning process but you're the reason I wanted to like first
of all be honest about it like I didn't I don't
I have my social media all the time and I'm doing all this inspiring and
empowering stuff and like working on mental health making a garden today
filming some stuff in the ocean like having a good time like trying to trying
to bring all this positivity out and trying to maintain that but I
interviewed somebody recently who like just opened my eyes to how much we're
all bullshitting each other and like we all have like really rough days maybe
you don't get to the point where your one physical action away from taking
your own life but if you even like think about suicide at all or if you think
about harming yourself or if you like if they even even if you don't think that
you think about it deeply if the idea crosses your mind like that's enough of
a warning that you're not 100% okay and you should reach out and like get some
support and that doesn't necessarily mean go to a GP and get a diagnosis and
some treatment because we all know these days or I believe that most of us don't
need a diagnosis and treatment we just need support we just need more people
around us who understand us and it takes time to educate the people around you
about your personal situation and your personal preferences and how you would
like to be treated and the only time to do that is when you're in a healthy
state so you need to talk about this like in times like now like I am and I
do talk to people about like what I would prefer
that kind of stuff because it the one of the biggest reasons I believe that a lot
of people then talk about suicidal thoughts and suicide even attempting to
end their own lives is because they're afraid of losing and their autonomy
that's one thing that I'm afraid I've got afraid that something like
somebody's gonna intervene and they're gonna start making my decisions for me
and I'm gonna end up in the hands of somebody who doesn't understand me it
doesn't have any emotional connection to me and they're diagnosing and treating
me off a checklist and I just hate that idea I respond much better to a lot of
different kinds of treatment and therapies and people like I just don't
like the medical model at all and I know so many people hate it and they don't
want to get sucked into that vortex and like even getting someone to call the
ambulance on you is like a fear that a lot of people have because then you then
all of a sudden you're being treated by like emergency personnel and like it's
just a nightmare and sometimes that can be the reason why you don't reach out to
anybody because it's just like such a nightmare to deal with those
consequences are now that that makes it even worse when you're thinking about
how you're in this situation you're in this dark place and you want to end it
all and you're like this is there's no way out of this it's only gonna get
worse and you picture like what might happen if you message each particular
person as you're scrolling through your phone desperately trying to find that
human connection and you're thinking like God nobody's really going to
respond the way that to respond and like that this is gonna
escalate this is gonna get worse and if you're at the point where you want to
take care in life it's already as bad as it can get right like it copy you don't
you just put in that moment you believe you can't enjoy any more suffering any
any worse you can't go through any more you don't want to do any more that's why
they're crying on the floor
never repotted strawberries before
oh my goodness yeah oh there's lots of hurt
we're pools are this dead stuff as well
what do you think how I broke the puzzle sorry Buzzle
there's all the tough plans black out of everything I've tried to
grow basil is the only one that thrives a hectic enough event can can trigger a
relapse type episode like it can put you back in that place that you thought that
you would never end up in again and if everybody thinks that you'll find all
the time and everybody thinks that everybody's fine and nobody's really
talking about any of this then if you don't really feel comfortable coming
forward but if we all just admit it to each other that life's really hard and
sometimes we are unstable and we we do need help then it would become normal to
sense to just send a message to somebody I have heaps of people in my life that
it's normal to just send them a message and say like are you struggling right
now and you and I would even think that I would never get to a place where I'm
one physical action away from taking my own life again but I underestimated the
power of like things that could still happen to me and like that like I was
really heavily triggered and all of my worst fears were presented to me and
like I was just like all of my demons resurfaced like in the course of say ten
minutes because of an interaction that I had with another human being who was
coming from a place of fear and not not really thinking about the consequences
of what they were saying and they were just they were about destroying me like
just making me feel bad and making me feel wrong making me feel like my my
whole life was in dullard and like people don't know that they're doing
that that people don't know how unstable you are and that's another part of the
fear I'm afraid that if it's that easy to make me kill myself people won't
trust me with my own independence my own autonomy I feel like people are gonna
interfere if if somebody just saying some mean shit to me is enough to tip me
over the edge like I don't want people to think that about me and it's all
that's all of this stuff is that all the stuff that prevents people from reaching
out for help and like they think the thing that's preventing lives being
saved is because we're worried about what other people think about us so
hopefully by just like talking about this right now I've helped just open up
a few conversations stuff you can message me any time and it will be on
your terms how much we talk about what's going on with you I'm never gonna like
force you to talk to me about anything I'm not good I'm not gonna take any
action that you don't only take like it's on your terms and that I feel like
there's a lot of people out there like you call a lifeline how you call
ambulance oh you call like there's a lot of different avenues you can go down but
maybe some people need somebody like that but sometimes you just need
somebody that you can talk to that isn't going to do anything no matter what like
I'm not going to force any kind of action on you I'm not gonna take away
your independence I'm not going to take away your a ton of me you can send me a
DM and I'll talk to you and I'll help you through that single emotional storm
and then if that will be the end of it like it will not change our relationship
but will not change the way that I think about you it won't change anything I
will just be there in that space with you and then after that business as
usual unless you want it otherwise it's your choice like it's a hundred percent
on your terms and I think that's an important way to deal with this stuff
for a lot of people maybe a lot of people would disagree with this but I
just want more people to put their hand up and say I can be that for people and
then that's like a wider spectrum of the kind of help that's available and we
don't necessarily always need a professional professional help like a
doctor or a psychiatrist or a psychologist sometimes you just need a
mate so if you agree with that kind of way of dealing with somebody who's in a
in a crisis like that if you think that's a good way to do it you've been
in that place yourself and you would like people to treat you that way please
like share this video and talk about it like write a post and say like I just or
make it do whatever you need to to communicate to other people that that's
how things need to be and just get that to circulate and I feel like
not only would we save lives people would just feel better people would just
be more comfortable in their own skin they would be able to like be their true
selves they would be able to be confident in a decision-making they'll
be able to do everything way better like we were just our lives would just be way
more enriched and helping each other as well every every person that I've helped
to stay on this earth makes me feel like my life has a little bit more meaning
it's kind of selfish it's kind of egotistical it's kind of weird but like
I sometimes when I'm in my darkest place and I'm thinking about ending it I just
remember like but if I had it with my life then this person may have not been
here anymore or definitely wouldn't have been here anymore this person wouldn't
have been here anymore I already want another one of these back
to Bunnings okay even if my purpose is just to keep you here like keep one
other person here for a bit longer so they can have a little bit more of this
beautiful magical experience that we call life I love my life my life is
fantastic my life is beautiful every minute of every day is a miracle to me
and like my relationship is amazing everything is so epic but I'm still
vulnerable enough and damaged enough that an adverse situation can completely
Avalanche me like I can just be buried by hectic hectic emotional turbulence
like I don't know the words like it's just full-on and I can't express it and
when it happens it's extremely hard to see through like all of the suffering to
the light at the end of the tunnel
thanks for watching this video thanks for being here
thanks for being champions you little legends human beings man love you guys
so we have two little succulent cacti er kind of things I don't know whether we
call worth is the better business or there we go look at that
done but their brute on this one it's about to go in your little plan
well ala beer is good because like the job that you get out of it is really
soothing for your skin when you have someone so it's perfect living here up
they go to the beach all the time and I get sunburned just I just cut some bit
and he needs all Americans
this is actually some sacred geometry it's very important shape
