@KickinShadows How in the hell can you watch this and think I am mocking Mental Illness?

[wwwtotalitaerde]

Germany murders to silence complaints

U.Barschel,J.Möllemann,Heiner Gehring(author),M.Pflock(polit­ical activist),Tron(internet activist),Karl Koch(political/internet activist),Bernd Seiffert(human rights activist),Kirsten Heisig(author/judge),Fritz Bauer(persecutor Frankfurt Auschwitz processes).My brother Markus Bott was tortured 5.5 years by the German BND.I have recorded 450 h on video which ended in the legal system.He then was tortured 1.5 years under the "protection" of the "legal system"

[TangoDown229]

Yes. You're illness is called "Homosexuality". EOL

[HerrSpieldose]

don't let these therapists exploit you. once you wake up to the fact that u are nothing but a paycheck and not considered human to them it is amazing how sane one becomes... I used to get manic and try to fly off of buildings and spent years sleeping my life away on meds... but when I woke up to being a paycheck to them... my mind worked wonders...

[ElsaAfework]

Brother you should check out some videos on Islam, Jinn, Demons. Becuase truly they live amongst us and they can possess the human body if you let them. I myself had some of those problems and my study of Islam has been the answer.

[mypinkheaven]

Have you tried natural healing. The right foods and vitamins... B vitamins should not be taken with meds but are important for the nervous sytsem. You should get books about healing and vitamins, minerals and enzymes, clensing and diet. And Pray God does not punish us we sometimes do it to ourselves with wrong diet and choices. Not judging just trying to help.

[viciouspistols]

why did you link being sick to being out? you clearly didn't have a conscious mental reason for it at the time - so why didn't you go to the doctor and say 'i keep being sick and getting dizzy' rather than thinking 'everytime i go out i get these symptoms therefore i wont go out" - i don't see the rationality in that. you should be thankful you don't have aids or cancer - you have just convinced yourself your not normal by overanalysing your behaviour but normal people have problems.

[watchman001]

The government cant wait til were all diagnosed w mental illness so they can wipe us out and have an orwellian utopia with all the "normal" people

[stonecoldfredgassie]

Sorry u have to deal with that man I just got diagnosed with schizophrenia and psychosis and it's been real hard for me

[walklife1]

I am so glad to hear your story and your voice. We need more people to tell theirs and educate the people that have stigmas.

[soymiguelalejandro23]

thanks for sharing this. I had never heard of this disorder. it is great to have some more information concerning mental disabilities.

just to ad this mental illness is a medical disability because something is wrong with our brain - it's hurt. I'm glad that you did not kill yourself. I have schizoaffective disorder - a mix of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder - quite awful but I make the best of it and keep it moving.

[pyrexian04]

there's no such thing as mental illness doctors just use it to justify their jobs make money and sell drugs for the drug companies!! you've all been brainwashed into thinking it's real!!!! drugs fuck you up big time!!!!!!!!!

[Globodyne]

@pyrexian04 glad to see your an ignorant moron

[EndlessConflict]

"Sometimes I really wish I had AIDS or Cancer.. Something that you know what it was and you knew how to fix it.."

I know how frustrating it is to have a mental illness and not a 'medical' illness, because its something you cant physically see or grab.. I suffer from BPD. But I wish you the best.

[skirts365]

"Treatment?" Evidently the BEST treatment for "mental illness" is---get degree in psychiatry, psychology or social work. These people always imply their degree gives them immunity (from the fake mythical disorders they invent to gain power over others!) Matthew Hopkins has been outdone by The Clinically Normative Ones. If Congress does the right thing, it will become a FELONY to call anyone "mentally ill," that's just another witchcraft-heresy accusation.

[not2tees]

Did you watch the Daniel Mackler interview on the stefbot channel? He suggests that meds are not the answer for schizophrenics and they may be not the answer for dissociatives, either.

[xxpbxbenxx]

you don't seem any crazier then the average asshole on the street

[lamictalinducedpsych]

i have an induced psychosis at age 23 by lamictal

[JadeVerisen]

@lamictalinducedpsych Lamictal did me wrong as well.

[aprilserce1000]

You sound and look very normal to me. Maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend

[ChihuahuaBrave]

I had psychosis at age 23. It is torment. The psychosis was caused by the anti-depressants.

[godbullie]

this is pat coates and i have a mental illness which causes me to lose all my friends and acquaintances because it causes me to rob people and use them and be a swindler. ishould go to jail for this

[ReallyRick]

[tommyXBOX360]

[happilylil]

i love taking Vilift, it's really making my life better, i really owe it? to Vilift.

[Kluleess]

you rock! Thanks for your honesty. - good luck and thanks

[jellybutt100]

what the fuck is so hard about swallowing a pill. go suck a cock fag

[coronet67]

Neurological disease and mental illness are not the same thing.

[rpandaspring]

i take Vilift and it's the best pill i have ever tried.

[billyboe92]

i apprieciate this,

i'm with you!

thanks for putting this up!

your great.

[hsttraindriver]

Buy "Explaining colours to a blind man". This will

enlighten many about living with mental illness.

[AmericanPlatinum]

Serious offering: the initial symptoms years ago are a syndrome associated with the brain stem: dizziness, vomiting, tingling. Flu, stroke, numerous possible causes, but its been a long time with no recurrance. Depression started however with that and THAT CONTINUED. ITS NOT CONVERSION DISORDER, but aftermath of a real episode of illness. Your accent, like the accent of Madonna, gives a similar impression as hers does. The identity of many gay men is "ego dysphoric", next post...

[rulestocool]

fuck this bull shit like really. just to get people out there to make them feel sad about you so fuck you and grow up fag nuts

[Munnchbunnch]

Im mad.

Mad and proud, and im not taking the piss...that which tests you makes you stronger,i was fucked up with depression and anxiety for 9 years house bound with no friends or family help.

but im still here, and I aint going nowhere.

I should write a book really.

[CyberneticOrganism01]

@Munnchbunnch

Maybe we can publish a book of our personal experiences? I'm finding a writer who is interested in this kind of book project. Contact me if interested =)

[anamasteos]

Good for you! Go out and have fun cause just about everyone is nuts in some way or another and the ones that are so-called perfect are lying or worst boring!

[fun69stein]

unloved children get addicted to masturbation and as a young adults get depression or schizophrenia.

Medical business sells lies and drugs for thousands of billions. That's why the cause of depression and schizophrenia is unknown.

Children suffer and die as some people need to make money.

Epidemy of depression, ADHD, BD, suicides, etc, etc, are since medical business claims that masturbation is healthy.

Get back your life my friend!

[sethephraim]

unloved children get addicted to masturbation, yeah you are right and I've gone through that...

[mkrulz77]

@fun69stein dude theres "normal" that are loved by their parents and as nasty as it sounds they also masturbate.

[ManicSkates]

watch this video if you get the chance "Truth About Mental Illness and Disease"

[zuniga6412]

i suffer from depression too.if i didn't have my meds i would of checked out along time ago.meds might cause alot of side effects but if they make you want to live then its all worth it.there is no one size fits all its different for everyone when it comes to treating their depression.some people who dont have a clue what it is like to suffer from mental illness seems to always have alot of crap to say about why people shouldn't be on meds.these people make things worse.

[ManicSkates]

watch this video friend. "Truth About Mental Illness and Disease"

try some meditation, and throw away your medication, those pills are eating your mind

[zuniga6412]

meditation is a cool thing,im into that.but inspite of all the controversy about medication i would not be alive if i didn't have my meds.remeber,there is a gray zone to everything.life is not just black and white.i know you mean well but unless you suffer from mental illness you really dont know.for me it works.

[ManicSkates]

well im diagnosed bipolar 1. and i didnt realize exactly what conversion disorder was, it sounds like its more than just mental at times, but ultimately i think it is something you can overcome mentally, for bipolar and other disorders its about gaining control over your mind thoughts and the effect you let them have on your well being. good luck with it all though no matter what it is.

[CallMeN1kki]

Oh my friend. I am so glad God has allowed our lives to cross. We have hope. And we are not alone. Love you!

[Realm1932]

Hello Sir, Your video really helped me. I too had Agorophobia. I also wanted to die.

[ReallyRick]

I am glad you were able to feel it helped you. :) I am so glad my Agoraphobia is gone!

[kapz100]

relax be happy smoke weed

[Pinochet08]

Thank you for sharing, and God bless you!.

Please, do not loose your hope. My sister was diagnosed with with extreme depression after she had her baby. She was hopeless that this illness ended and was in valium for years...but one day she woke up from her nightmare and she prayed to God to give her strength to leave the valium and she did. Now she looks back and tells me that it was a miracle.

[jaslynk]

Hope you'll get well soon, buddy. I am under deep depression that was caused by my brother who had keep upsetting me since kid. Dam! I will never forget.

[OhAnnaAnnaAnna]

you have kind eyes.

[medmatic]

Please go to Yahoo and type in "Horrible Truth About Psychiatric Drugs" to see a research paper exposing these drugs. Also so the search "Documented Proof Psychiatric Drugs Shorten Lifespan". Be sure to include the quotes. You will learn information no psychiatrist will tell you. These drugs destroy fertility and libido and cause impotence and extream disphoria and obesity. The promote suicide and violence not prevent it.

[edacookie]

Hey I hope that you will rise above this. And overcome the difficulties. More power to you man!! You can do this! And thanks for posting this. ^^

[princeofexcess]

[agreeableviews816]

to u ur way of life and to me mine

[princeofexcess]

ok my way of life is to kill you!

cant u see that you must argue with people so they dont say that anti conception is murder and dont blow up buildings

People are willing to do very cruel and irrational things to get to imaginary place

there is a lot of evil because of that people denying science&killing other ppl all for something that doesnt exist

all believes that dont have facts supporting them r harmful even believe in unicorns.And they allow u to get other irrational ideas

[agreeableviews816]

i will call the authorities now. u just threatened my life. ur life is about to change.

[princeofexcess]

wow this is the most ridicules thing I ever heard LOL.

See thats the problem with u ppl u try to scare others into agreeing with u or believing in something

You didnt even make an effort to answer my comment but stuck to something thats meaningless and trying to scare me LMAO

Dude stop living ur pathetic life in fear of things and start thinking! If u dont it sure makes it hard for me not to laugh at ur face

[agreeableviews816]

man, ur talkin about the most hanous things that are done in the name of religion, i think. u never actually said it, u referred to it as an imaginary place [heaven & hell?] and something that doesnt exist [God/Religion?], so d'uh - u automatically say that i must argue with ppl so they dont say things that are commonly right, accuse me of blowing up buildings or even sharing thoughts of that, and what else here.. denying science and killing other ppl, wow.

u say that i do all this? prove it

[princeofexcess]

wow this is the most ridicules thing I ever heard LOL.

See thats the problem with u ppl u try to scare others into agreeing with u or believing in something

You didnt even make an effort to answer my comment but stuck to something thats meaningless and trying to scare me LMAO

Dude stop living ur pathetic life in fear of things and start thinking! If u dont it sure makes it hard for me not to laugh at ur face

[agreeableviews816]

i have no clue where u get ur sources from, i aint livin in fear, i fear nothing but God Almighty, Who has power to end this universe, and every scientific thing left in it. I don't deny science, because science correctly leads someone to Islam, and i think instead of blowin yer steam at me, u should think about everything, cuz u got ur life in check and i got mine in check. peace out.

[emailpack]

I am going to kill you, first I am going to plot how to murder your leaders.

[emailpack]

Stop acting and start ending up in jail.

[ReallyRick]

Acting? lol

[emailpack]

Your busted.

[emailpack]

Damn looks like somebody knows me !!!!

Just kidding.

Anyway, some evidence supports that you are readying too much offered to you.

Maybe you have a problem by knowing the truth.

[eyub77]

hehehhe

[eyelandjan]

What pills have you been taking that made you feel better?

[muddyhat]

You hang in there brother..I suffered from chronic depression for years, I got put on so many different tablets I didn't know my arse from elbow most of the time. I'm a painter, and when I was doped up I couldn't work. I've decided to ditch medication. My depression is part of who I am. I live with it. And hey, who wants to bormal anyway! Being normal sucks.

Whacko's of The World Unite! I say.

Peace and Love bro.

[crazy87jim]

amen

[thuggie1]

are you gay your sexy ;)

[kmcbeath]

yes mental illness is more the last resort of human failure. just grow some goddamn balls. and listen to yourself, and i don't mean the "voices in your head". good luck

[muddyhat]

What makes you such a shining success? Your coment is extremely crass. Stop talking as though your shit doesn't stink and please, keep your moronic platitudes to yourself. Ass-hole!

[brennymoser]

You are not metally ill. There is no face of mentall illness. Your are not ill. You are a human being. Get off the meds and live your life. You can do it. I am labelled ill from the doctors but I say screw them. They are the ones that are screwed up.

god bless you and i know you can do it. You sound extremely together to me.

[kmcbeath]

stop trying to attract attention to yourself and get on the horse like the rest of the fucking world you idiot.

[bloodjetofpoetry]

Props to you!

[assive2007]

Stay strong my man. I'm sure you'll live to tell your kids your story when you get old. I can asure you God is watching over you so you and i hope you beleive in yourself. I pray for you deeply - so stay strong.

[Abbelin]

Good For You! I'm really glad for you. I hope things continue get better for you!

[Maxwedge12000]

That would explain your other videos.

[KurtG85]

What med you on?

[pchanson42]

Meclizine is what I fight panic and agorophobia with. Inner ear/motion sickness medication. works like a champ. I want to help in any way I can. This open forum kinda sucks tho for this type of help so look me up on myspace. Search jimmy_madison. While your there, check out my blog on inflation and it's causes (The Fed).

[pchanson42]

Actually, a search for jimmy_madison on myspace turned up zip. myspace (dot)com forward slash jimmy_madison.

[pchanson42]

The modern medical establishment has not made the connection between inner ear problems and agoraphobia. However, I can provide you with dozens of links to medical studies published on Pub-Med that show way more than a casual connection between inner ear

problems and agoraphobia.I am no medical doctor or psychiatrist but I have studied this issue for close to 20 years off and on. Go check out a book called "Phobia Free" by Harold Levinson. That book saved my life.

[pchanson42]

Hi Rick. Get your inner ears checked thoroughly. If they don't run 8 hours of tests over the course of a couple of days, it wasn't thorough enough. Notice your first episode. It sounded to me like you described classic car sickness (an inner ear related problem). That episode caused a phobia of getting back on BART. Your symptoms eventually led to full blown agoraphobia. Many shut-ins are actually agoraphobic. You shut yourself in for 1.5 yrs.

[thewildeman2]

Awesome video, well said, I applaud you. Keep educating others!

[Natalie923]

I was diagnosed with BP when I was 17. I understand very well what you mean about just wanting to give up. Now I live alone, with little to no contact with anyone. Sometimes I don't even answer my phone. Thank you for talking about what you have. I hope you have lots of support. You are still very human, that's for certain. I feel my 'disorder' has dehumanized me, and those I tell fall quickly away.

[RonPaul2008ForUS]

watched the democrat debate on liberal cnn. your candidates looked so pitiful. RON PAUL FOR LIFE

[TrevorRiegerMESSIAH]

Renetto = FLESH = MONEY by Trevor Rieger FREE TREVOR!

Trevor Rieger talks about Renetto (Paul Robinette) making money off of cheap skin flick thrills and tagging adult content words for more views and money.

watch?v=QHEwOwUokJw

[RonPaulForUSPrez]

no wonder you dont like Ron Paul you are a god damn nutcase

[Hawk5151]

I feel sorry for you, and not because of you illness. But because your an idiot!

[leechcharmer]

stay strong

[SecretUTubeUnsername]

Very nice video young man. I wish I could talk about my own mental illness so openly on Youtube. I am so afraid of people finding out that I had to make this fake account just to comment to you. I only wish more of us had the courage you do.

[OspreyTherian]

It's not easy at all having to deal with illness. RR, you did a good job on this video. And manplatypusman - I think helping others is what this video is about. It's not easy to lay it all out there, but there will be others feeling less alone because of it.

[manplatypusman]

hey dude, world is full of sickness, weakness, badness and dark cold face of death all around. there are people in worse condition than yours too. but you have to COMPETE, FIGHT and LIVE your life every day as others do. as being a member of human society, i grasp you, hug you, salute you.

you are OK. maybe it is time for you to help others.

best wishes all

[takadi]

Man, from what I'm getting here, the only way someone can get real help is to attempt suicide. *sigh* I have been visiting all sorts of therapists and they still tell me about the "big three". God I wish I was as lucky as you

[DanielleMuff]

My brave little mage. I like the style you did this in. Kara tonight at 9! make me lots of water bitch

[ReallyRick]

I swear to GOD if we don't down Shade of Aran then I am transferring off the server and find a guild who can! :D Maybe if you stopped flirting with me on vent then we wouldn't wipe.

PS. Glad you like the style in which the video was shot. It's very umm...whats that term...meh I cant think of it. LOL
