 This is actually two really exciting announcements wrapped into one, so make sure you stay tuned to this entire video. It's only a few minutes long, so what else do you got better to do? What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about helping you out with your mental health, whether it's depression or anxiety or ADHD or bipolar or borderline personality disorder or trauma, whatever it is. That's what I'm here to help you with, so make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. But like you saw in the title, also go and follow me on Twitch. This is a very exciting announcement, and this is for a couple of reasons. Okay, there's two, two very exciting announcements. Okay, so the first reason I'm starting a Twitch channel is because a lot of people have asked me to do a podcast, okay? And I want to do a podcast. I've been meaning to do a podcast, and I need to do a podcast. But a lot of my gamer friends, when I started talking about this, a lot of my gamer friends are like, yo, you need to do this on Twitch. I'm like, all right, I guess I'll do it on Twitch. So I might still do some live streams here there on YouTube, but primarily I'm going to do it on Twitch. And what I hope for the podcast to be is I'm going to try to take things from all of you, right? Your mental health questions or different topics in the news about mental health. Like I don't always cover all of the mental health news. Maybe it's things going on with the government or other countries or, you know, just anything news related to mental health. I try to do some on this channel, but I don't do enough. But I also want to be answering a lot of your questions. But in the format of a live stream, I can also answer your questions live. Some people said I should do like a call-in show, and I don't know how to do that yet. So I'm going to try to learn and see if people can like call in and talk to me and things like that. But anyways, follow me on Twitch because I'm going to be doing it and you can ask questions there. But for right now, I need a bunch of topics, okay? So many of you leave questions in the comments down below. I've been kind of gathering some, but in this video, leave comments down below. Whatever you're struggling with, leave a comment. Like, are you struggling with depression or anxiety or your parents or addiction or whatever it is? Like leave comments down below. If you don't feel comfortable posting them, feel free to email me or DM me on Instagram or Twitter or whatever it is. All of my information is on the About page. But this is super exciting. So even if you can't catch the live stream, I will have VODs that stands for Video on Demand. So you can go back and rewatch it. But I'm also going to take the audio from that and upload it to podcast format for Apple as well as Android devices, okay? So that's what we're doing with the podcast. So make sure you follow me on Twitch. But here's the other thing. Here's the other thing that is really, really exciting, okay? I'm going to be playing a bunch of Fortnite because I play Fortnite and here's the thing. I suck at Fortnite. So the second thing is I play a bunch of Fortnite and I suck at Fortnite. So I'm going to be playing Fortnite. But you're like, Chris, why the heck would I want to watch you playing Fortnite? Well, like, I think I've mentioned this in some other videos. I watched these other Twitch streamers like Ninja or Dayquan or Dr. Lupo or Myth and stuff like that. People ask them like life advice and stuff like that. So like, I figured, why don't I multitask and while I'm playing, why don't I just turn my stream on? And if you guys have mental health questions there, like ask me in the chat so that way I can be playing Fortnite and then you just ask me and we can talk. We can have a conversation. And I hope this can build more of a relationship between me and you. But yeah, just hop in and like, I'm really nervous and scared about it because the Chris that you all know from the rewired soul is a lot different than gaming Chris. Okay, there's profanity. I'm very competitive and things like that. So like, it'll be interesting for you to see that other side of me. You'll also see me interact with my gaming friends and stuff. So that's interesting. But like, there's so many good conversations I have with my friends and stuff like just for example, one of my best buddies online, I've never even met him in person, but I met him through a different video game when I first got sober and we've been friends ever since we used to play a game called Dota and now we play Fortnite. But like, and then we started talking about cognitive behavioral therapy and I started giving him advice and things like that. I'm like, here you maybe you could try this or he mentioned needing an accountability buddy. I'm like, okay, man, I'll be your accountability buddy. And those are conversations that I wish all of you heard because I'm talking about mental health a lot, but you only see what I upload on YouTube. So this will give you another opportunity to not only get to know me better and talk to me more, but you'll also be able to communicate with me a lot easier through the Twitch stream. All right, so like, I'm really excited about this. I think it's going to be cool. Like I really want to combine my two passions of mental health and video games together. And I'm really glad that a platform like Twitch is going to allow me to do so. So I just got a brand new computer that allows me to stream. That's one of the reasons I haven't streamed in a long time or ever, especially with video games. But anyways, like go follow me on Twitch. I want to try to get that to a thousand followers. And those of you who don't know what Twitch is, like just download the app. Like I know a lot of you out there aren't gamers, just download the app. If you make an account and you follow me, it will tell you every single time that I'm going live that you can hop in there. So if you're at work or you know, on the bus or whatever, whatever you're doing, they'll say, yo, the rewired soul is live on Twitch. You can hop in there. We can have a conversation. And you can watch me suck at fortnight or just talking mental health or whatever it is. So I'm super excited about this. The channel's up now. It is not aesthetically pleasing. So it's a work in progress at the time of recording this video. So if you want to be one of the first people to follow me on Twitch and see how this thing grows and blossoms, make sure you head over there right now. There will be a link down in the description. It's just twitch.tv slash the rewired soul. I love you so much. I make things easy for you. You know what I'm saying? All right, but I just wanted to talk about this really exciting announcement.
