 don't freak out what is up everybody this is chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and yeah the channel is changing okay and like some of you might be freaking out but i told you not to freak out it's gonna be all right stay with me here but the channel has doubled in size in the last couple weeks which is mind blowing a lot of you found me through 13 reasons why videos some of you found me through addiction videos borderline personality videos all sorts of stuff and i love each and every one of you i do my best to reply to all of your comments i have people who message me on instagram and twitter and email me i love all your faces so please feel free to reach out at any time like while i can still manage all of the responses now is a great time to reach out to me or the comment section is great too but anyways yeah things are gonna change just a little bit just a little bit um so the first thing i want to talk about is an underlying message of my channel okay is kind of empathy and kindness and understanding i i talk a lot about mental health and addiction and the stigma and i just you know i often think about how much better this world would be if we could try to empathize a little bit more and put ourselves in other people's shoes and you know my life started getting better when i started you know being a little bit more selfless it definitely helped me out with my mental health for example i lived most of my life beating myself up in my own head but the more i did for others the better i felt about myself so if you struggle with some self love self-compassion issues doing things for other people without expecting anything return is a beautiful way to get started now that being said here's the change that i'm talking about so basically i have people coming into my channel for all different reasons all right so like i mentioned some of you found me for addiction or anxiety or depression or show reviews or whatever the case may be and what i want to start doing i want to start diving deep into different subjects okay so basically the plan is is to dedicate like a week to a certain topic right so some of the topics i have just off the top of my head borderline personality disorder addiction anxiety depression ptsd is what i want to do i definitely want to do something directly for teens as well as children and parents because as you notice with my channel i kind of just pick and choose and jump all over the place but i want to provide videos like going deep on a certain topic all right now here's the favor i want to ask of you okay no matter what you came to my channel for please check out the video all right so one of the issues with humans as a whole right it's part of the way our brains are wired we're very selfish okay we browse through youtube instagram facebook you know whatever it is and oh does this have to do with me no does this have to do with me no does this have to do with me no well the way we create empathy and compassion towards others and start being more selfless is that we start educating ourselves on things that don't necessarily affect us so like say you're here for anxiety and i post a video about addiction i would ask that you watch that video because addiction affects one out of every 12 people which means there's a great chance that you know somebody who's an addict so you might stumble across a video and maybe your your mom dad brother sister cousins uh friend somebody struggling with addiction you're like oh wow this video might be able to help them and you can pass it along to them maybe you're here for depression right and i make a video about bpd or ptsd and you're like okay well this isn't about depression but i do know somebody with ptsd maybe i can pass this video on to them but the other reason why this is very helpful i i can't find the comment right now but on one of my borderline personality disorder videos this mother said thank you so much for these videos my daughter has bpd and this has helped me understand what she's going through and her symptoms and i'm like yes like that is what i'm trying to do so again the only favor i ask of you is try to watch all of the content try to watch and get educated because you might be able to help somebody else okay now a couple last things okay i listed some of the topics just off the top of my head that i'm thinking of leave comments down below if there are certain mental illnesses or disorders or struggles that you're dealing with that affect your mental health leave them down in the comments so i can work them into a schedule and see what's going on okay the second thing the second thing is this doesn't mean i'm just gonna not hop on certain topics okay like for example one of my favorite shows is having the series finale um this uh coming friday sense eight on netflix i'll be doing a video on that this week i have to i might do two three four i don't know i love that show and i suggest you all watch it but you know i'm gonna i'm gonna sprinkle in some other types of content to throughout so you know and hey like sometimes something comes up that i'm really passionate about and that's usually how i make my videos i'm like people need to hear this people need to learn about this right so like i will be sprinkling in other types of content throughout but anyways i'm gonna try to dedicate a week per topic so again please leave comments down below let me know what you want me to cover make sure if you haven't yet go through my catalog a lot of you are new here i have over 300 mental health videos on this channel okay so anyways thanks for staying with me thanks for joining if you're new but if you like this video give it a thumbs up
