Bipolar Almost Broke Me | Chris Fraser
The suicide rate for people living with bipolar is between 10 and 30 times higher than the general population, accounting for up to a quarter of all suicides in Australia.
Research shows up to 60% of those with the condition will make at least one attempt on their life. Father of three, Chris Fraser is one of them.
He experienced multiple extended bi-polar episodes in his early and mid-thirties, when months of mania were followed by even longer periods of severe depression - throwing his life into chaos.
With therapy, the right mix of medication and the support of his family, Chris has clawed his way out of a seemingly bottomless abyss; emerging with his own blueprint of how to manage bi-polar and make life worth living.

Being Gay Doesn't Define Me | Mark Cawdron-White

Being Gay Doesn't Define Me Mark suspected he was gay from the time he was a young boy and had it confirmed by the time he made it to high school. Raised in a conservative, religious household, he was conditioned to believe that being gay was wrong and that belief, coupled with fear of his parents’ reaction kept him in the closet till he was 28. When he did come out, those fears were realised. ...

Life Before and After Prison | James Culley

Life Before and After Prison When we think of a typical drug addict, we think of someone who turned to drugs in an attempt to cope with trauma and often childhood abuse. That wasn't the case for Culley. He describes having the perfect childhood, growing up with great parents who gave him all the love he could've asked for; but that didn't stop him getting on the ice and every other drug you can...

I Couldn't Understand Why I Was Like That For many years, Nathan hated the man staring back at him in the mirror.

Is Men's Mental Health Getting Better or Worse? It’s an unstable time to be a young man right now… The world is rapidly evolving around us, job markets are changing, traditional gender roles are shifting; polarising content served by our algorithms is pushing us ever deeper into echo chambers of opinion and the social discourse that men are the problem looms in the background.

Stopping the Victim Mentality | Adam Blum
This just instantly destroyed as a father with bpd and having a young son It breaks me knowing how much unfair trauma you have seen. I try every day to not switch and to use my tools. I had a bad night tonight and switched and all my boy wanted was to love me and cuddle me. Trust me as a parent with bpd we love you so much and try our best to not have you experience what we feel. Much love to you brother.
People are far too self - Centred for me to believe the statement that when you go to prison you take those that care for you with you - Yeah , they are affected and concerned , and that is it !
Hi, what kind of medication does he take?
Terrible So sorry !!! Our mother was our abuser too Then as you were, abuse from others all my life Last r*pe I was 55 yrs old!!! I feel your pain 🦋
The tenderness aspect, social bonding/manipulation, compartmentalising, pushing through, not feeling a genuine victim but an accomplice, it really hits close to home. You are helping me tremendously speaking so open and eloquently about these things.
It's important to have a diverse array of opinions on a channel about mental health. This was a very informative interview and I agree with a lot of what he says. As a gay man from the deep south US I prefer to see myself as more of a survivor than victim. Keep fighting the good fight for all men.
@@ItsCoreyLynxxYall thanks for watching!
Parents should get licensed before they have kids
Yea
Brilliant guess with sooo common sense and understanding!! Thank you for publishing this. I'm sure his points of view and emotions, and his ideas, and his way of living, will make angry many stereotypical-judgemental people (to both: straights and gays too !! )
Is it suicidal ideology stuck and can't get it out of that mindset ? Whatever I am so thankful, I may not know you but I am happy for you and all your family and love ones and friends,have the best of life each new day Blessings
Thank you for this video. I can resonate so much with the duality you're speaking of. I'm better at accepting the two different sides of me and integrating them in the sense that I don't have to fight so much internally anymore. It's the first time I heard somebody explain these symptoms of abuse which basically affect every part of your life. In a weird way I feel glad somebody else feels this way. It doesn't make me feel as alienated anymore.
Brave man ! Thank you for sharing your story.
Great upload, very interesting guest. It's so refreshing hearing someone say they just want to be human and their own individual. It takes a lot of guts to be unique. Cheers!
Thanks for that feedback Hassan. Good to hear!
Ok this is unique! Thank you for doing this episode and show this point of views
Now are you gonna put another gay man on to counterpoint his argument or just do what every far right channel does on TH-cam? Make sure our community is degraded more and more till the rest of society goes back to hating us?? Or will you not even bother to check the comments on here because you're too cowardly and you just don't care. It's just about the views and the subs and the negative reactions. Hate sells much more on the internet than anything else. So just remember if you're trying to make things better for men, do it for all men. Even men you don't agree with. Can you do that or is it easier when you have nothing to do with the issues by these men?

I don’t think this channel deserves the label of ‘far right’ by virtue of me interviewing a gay man expressing his personal opinion about being part of the LGBTQ community…
This is boring and totally unhelpful.... you guys are talking about nothing... waste of time
@@observer2817 appreciate the constructive criticism
You can never find any stories about men that were rped or sexually assaulted as children by females!! Like nowhere ! I was messed with by female baby sitter and another her female friends and her mother!
How does one seek help when one does not have health insurance?
I would love to get in touch ive lost my 19 year old son by sucide 😢😢
A courageous and insightful chat. I truely believe that our inbuilt characteristics have no good or bad attached to them. It’s how we choose to utilise them that counts. Just like the monologue at the start of the movie, Two Hands: Everything good has a little bit of bad, everything bad has a little bit of good. It’s up to ourself to monitor and utilise our inbuilt characteristics for best outcomes. Thank you Cully ✊
It is so scary the sheer amount of young men here in the comments saying yeah this happened to me too.😒🤯..atp I'm terrified something happened to every 2nd child at some point & they just kept it secret😢😵
I’m curious if he put the weight back on after changing his diet. I just found out I’m celiac, and I’ve also found myself loosing a lot of weight over time.
I wish ,actually I want this ECT therapy COZ. I think like if we aren't able to react or don't want to react over our depression anxiety stress but still think of successful life and think can't achieve it despite being knowing the path for i mean we just don't wanna work over anything then I guess we should have one by our own without knowing anyone just go underground and comeback as a Bruce Wayne just kidding just become what we actually wanted I feel like it's just gonna make our impulsive current which is slower or got slower charge again... let me know ur suggestion
Nothing good comes from WAR Greedy men and World leaders benefiting from WAR. It’s we as people that will suffer. But we can turn this around united bcoz the power belongs to us, it’s our choice not theirs.
❤️ great interview. So is anders on grindr?
Aaaaaaaaay the bro Marcellus definitely have to give this a listen proud of him deadly person.
In past centuries, “mental health issues” were dealt with in purely Catholic religious-based terms, that you needed to pray and do penance more often for “crisis of faith” and “dark night of the soul” where the only source of information was your confessor, spiritual director or the local Parish Priest - being born in 1970 myself, where both my parents marriages and their respective parents marriages were strongly disapproved of, it was often said by many people in our village in Rural Ireland that the reason I had a lot of problems in my childhood, my teens and my 20’s was because I did not have a harsh enough childhood, because my parents were unfit to be parents and to enter into Marraige because of their own childhoods and upbringing, according to traditional Catholic Social Teaching pre-Vatican II and that I did not have enough severe parental beatings and sufficiently frequent and severe corporal punishment in childhood which was deemed to have resulted in many problems later on, where “beating the devil out of you” was seen as the answer and remedy to mental health issues

God put someone in your life who went through it befire
Very relatable. The only person I have ever spoken to aside from my sister was a lady from Scotland who I volunteered with at the salvos once. She said to me "I try really hard to like myself". No safe place inside your inner consciousness.

How come there's no comments?
Thank you. I’m in love with a man who recently told me about being sexually abused by a female teacher at the age of 8 years old. She and her boyfriend. For about 2 months it lasted. I’m trying to understand him. He’s hot and cold. In & out. Sex with him is awesome. I know he has sex with others both female and male though he adamantly denies being bisexual. He denies having sex with anyone else but I know he is lying. He craves a lot of attention from others. He is a beautiful man. He is artistic plays the guitar. I have given him a lot of money because I know he has a relatively hard life and I enjoy giving to him. He stays alone a lot and he is depressed a lot. He has addictions alcohol other drugs and sex. I just cannot help myself when it comes to loving him. He is a very good manipulator. I know all of these things but my heart belongs to him. He always wants me to be his mommy and love him and our sex is kinky.
This is hard to watch , the host talks more than the victim and puts all the words in the victim 's mouth . Who is the victim here , the host knows everything and explains to the guy what happened , it 's too scary or the victim is a little less smart and doesn't understand what 's going on ...
Don't blame the left. The "left" didn't start the hate. It's just giving it back to the original source. Bigotry is worse now than for years. people won't put up with it any longer AND HAVEN'T BEEN PUTTING UP WITH IT. iT JUST HAPPENS TO BE CONSERVATIVE, STRAIGHT CISGENDER MALES WHO CAUSED THIS TOI BEGIN WITH,.
Homophobia is a major cause why men don't show intimacy in friendships and opening up to those friendships. Bigotry of minorities affects everyone. Homophobia and transphobia also negatively affect straight men and cisgender people too.
So proud of this young man love him with all my heart
Kelvin breaks my heart what you go through. Wish I met the Real you. The one that is playing you on tictoc is playing you vary well.

Thanks for sharing your story Ian and for being such an inspiration to us all.
Tf ... It actually is not so rare . Sadly
Mine kicked off next level after the 2nd vax. Getting my diagnosis was one of the best days of my life. I finally had an answer.
I hope your not in contact with your abuser, because it can often happen when the victim often goes back to their abuser. Cut ties with that person. They can still find away back into your circle , your life. Friends and family could still be connected to that person avoid the person's company . It doesn't help if you are still seeing him socially.
i am 70 years old and still trying to deal with this stuff. Now i have got prostate cancer to be thrown into the mix too.
As a disabled person I constantly feel like I need to stand out in a good way because of how much I stand out in a bad way.
Thanks for having me Cal!❤
