Thank you for all your videos!  I find all your advise spot on. Your videos on narcissistic personality disorder really struck a cord, because my husband's estranged father has this condition, and has hurt so many people. It's really interesting to have a bit of clinical insight into why they treat others so terribly. <3 Thank you for helping us.

I really enjoy your videos. I am newly accepting that I have BPD. I am freshly married, and I see the patterns of my destruction and issues in most aspects of my life, including our marriage.

I had the break through conversation with my husband last Friday, and I had my first DBT therapy appointment today, 4 days after the initial conversation about it.

Some of us with mental health issues do take it very, very seriously, and have the strength to be healthier.

It's about what we do, and whether we want to be better people, for ourselves, and for the people in our lives.

I think your videos are smart. I would love to see you make a video about how someone with BPD and a non-BPD can set healthy boundaries and work through the mental health issues.

Hey, I've watched a few of your videos and found them really insightful, helpful and logical so thanks for sharing your wisdom :)

I was hoping you could make a video about avoidant personality disorder, it's something that is really taking a hold on me and causing me bigger problems. I'm not sure if I have it because I don't have each symptom but I'm pretty sure I fit the criteria to an unhealthy extent.

I think it will be very helpful for a lot of people on youtube as well.

Thank you :D
