A Special Valentine's Day Message
Added 2019-02-14 17:25:17 +0000 UTCHappy Valentine’s Day, everyone! There’ll be a new video on YouTube later today, and some other special goodies coming soon, but I wanted to post something a bit more personal. I know that what I do here is built on escapism and fantasy, and that’s all wonderful stuff, especially on days like today.
But, I wanted to give you a personal message, something real. Something from the heart, and something that I felt really compelled to share today.
Whether you’re riding solo today or not, I wanted to share a few words about loving someone very, very important: yourself!

So I’ve been dealing with some major mental illness stuff and with that a few people I talk to and see through the week continuing the old notion that people with schizophrenia are all violent crazy people who physically harm people. I’ve also been dealing with my own views on my mental illness with things I can’t control but feel like are my fault because it stops me from being able to basic things that everyone else has no problem doing. I’ve been calling myself pathetic and a victim of my mental illness, I’ve been not listening to my own words of live life not just survive it. I stop myself from going to events and hanging out with friends because the possibility of a psychotic episode. But I need to try and remember that the thing I have is just that a mental illness that I have, it’s not who I am, yes it’s something I will deal with for the rest of my life but that doesn’t mean my schizophrenia is all I am, I am more than my mental illness, I’m more than my disability and yes right now is a difficult time but that doesn’t change the fact that I should not be ruled by my mental illness. Thank you so much for your message, it really does mean a lot, I hope you’re able to heed your own words. You’re are a really good person who has helped build an amazing community, and yes your audios have helped a lot of people and we will always be grateful, but the messages like this, these are the ones that mean the most, thanks mate and have an amazing day

2019-02-14 19:13:10 +0000 UTCThank you for this. I am married to a wonderful man, and he cares about me a lot. He assures me often about my goodness. Which is nice, but I never really am able to believe and internalize it. Furthermore, I know I rely much on external validation. I almost attach my existence to his, like an extension of him when I don't feel like enough of a person to exist on my own. By myself, I still often feel unworthy of love and even life itself. This message hits me. Hard. I know I need to love myself. I don't know where to begin, really. I need to go back to see a psychiatrist and therapist. I've needed to revisit the issues I have - depression, anxiety, incredibly low self esteem. I've needed to do this for years. Hearing you talk about this inspires me to take action. I will find a professional to help me. I will find one and make an appointment. It's time to get to know myself, unfiltered by my own negative biases. I thank you so much. This means the world to me. I will be revisitng this audio. Often. Happy Valentine's Day. Thank you. You are beautiful and have made a significant difference in my life today. Can I say this? Is it appropriate? I'm going to anyway. I love you. Thank you.

2019-02-14 18:44:27 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this message. This...is something I really needed to hear.lately I’ve realized how alone I am, how I can count the members of my family and friends I care about on just a few fingers.(and I don’t see them often because they are so busy all the time) But this? This has made me smile and remember that even though I might feel alone there ARE people out there who care. That even if people are virtual strangers to one another they can worry for someone they have never met. Thank you for thinking about all of us listeners and I hope that you have a good day today as well ☺️
