Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.
I often get depressed, Most days i stay strong for my family. I put a fake smile on when im downstairs in my house.. Pretending its just another day. But when i go up to my room, I cry so bad into my pillow, I feel like im in prison too!
Taking medication has never crossed my mind.. Is that weird?
Tom.... much love to you. I wanted to say that if u feel that ur room is a prison, imagine how I feel . America is nearly like a prison. Or it feels that way. Scary shit....
thank you man, i can truly relate to what you said about living in a prison, i have tryed to discribe my anxiety to people like this before and was met with blank stares,its good to know im not alone and not mad =).to have the courage to show how you really feel on youtube is very admirable. one thing tho man, try not to go over past loves in your head,it will only make you more misrable, trust me ive been there.ill be in touch again, take it easy.
hi I just wanted to tell you i watched your video and I want you to know that there is hope for you I too was house bound years ago. You can get out its hard but its sooo worth it. Your on the right track. Fall in love do somthing for someone else. Its like you have to get out of your own head for a while. Your braver than you know. I admire your courage to make these videos keep doing it. It helps people
I just wanted to leave a comment to say thanks for posting your videos, I've thought about posting one of my own but I guess I lack the courage to open up about what I'm going through...
what you said at the beginning of this video about a lot has changed, but nothing has really make sense to me.
I also recomend you to stop taking valium and instead switching to sth. else, but don't do it on your own, ask a therapist first. What is more useful is to find a psychotherapist if you have not done that until now. They surely will help you. Overcomming agoraphobia is not that difficult nowadays, esp. of that without panic attacs. You will be ok, just try to find a therapist, plz.
as for the valium you are the only one that can choose to deal with the addiction. you have to make the choice to find or seek help for quitting valium. i hope things go better and suicide videos will just bring you farther down that downward spiral that is depression till you hit rock bottom. you need to be careful either way. good luck on your venture out.. try taking 5 instead of 7 ;)
well depression is tough to deal with expecially when your stuck in the same places but you have to find something you can take solance in. something you are good at and enjoy such as guitar and writing and what not and pour your emotions into that one thing. that generally that helps me. for the dentist the x-ray isnt nearly as bad as all that i know you have problems leaving but the xray is around 1 1/2 feet 2 feet away (so half a meter to around 2/3's a meter) away from your head.
Aww..poor Tom,I know how you feel kiddo,just some things i,m better with and some things you're better with.I can be alone,just won't leave the house alone,or if I do,I won't go far.*Big Hugs* you know where to find me.
