Stumbled across a five year old video of you and I had to see how you're doing now. Fantastic to see you doing so well. What a lovely man you've grown into. Wishing you a wonderful life
So proud of how far you have come! Very inspiring! Excited to see how your life continues to expand. I agree, schizophrenia and mental health isn’t all of what you are; it’s a part, a big part albeit, yet there is so much opportunity for you to explore your passions and express them with the world. I hope you do!! You are a great father and I am so excited for you and your boy. You are going to have a lot of fun. Keep taking good care of yourself! ❤
@@ayejay5603 says who. It's way harder but fully possible depending on the drug, your diet/workouts, metabolism, and any weight loss meds you take. My dad is on antipsychotics and the first he took when he was 20 made him lose some weight, the 2nd and 3rd made him gain over 50 lbs and the one he takes now hasnt caused any weight gain and hes lost about 40 lbs from diet and being active and really controlling his binge eating. Most people will gain weight and some will even become obese but for most you will just have a much slower metabolism and a harder time controlling yourself from eating. My dad will never be as skinny as he was and his weight fluctuates a lot more easily now but you can find lots of stories of people on antipsychotics who have lost weight. Check our the r/schizophrenia subreddit and you will see some discussing how they lost weight/stop themselves from gaining weight.
"By this time next week he'll be 18" is exactly how I feel about my son. He's turning 16 soon and I swear it was 10 mins ago that he was a baby. Thanks for sharing with us. What a great journey you are on. You've got this!
thank you for sharing your success story. i’ve struggled with severe mental health issues also. Keep taking good care of yourself and bless your new family
Just discovered your channel today (via your OG video of the first episode you shared) and feel like I just sped through your life in a handful of videos. You were a teen then grew up, you moved, you got a girlfriend, had a baby, split up with girlfriend, etc. Part of your gift is indeed your willingness to share vulnerabilty, as you mentioned, but it is more than that. It's being real and sincere. You'll be those things talking about D&D or your salt and pepper shaker collection or feeding squirrels 101. Your audience is here for it.
one of your old videos came onto my time line and i had to come see how you’re doing. i’m so glad to see you’re doing well and seem much happier. keep spreading your light and moving forward, you’re a great person ❤
I watched a 6 year old video of yours that popped up on my YT home page so I had to see how you’re doing now. I almost have tears how good you seem to be doing. You’re reminding me of male actors from the 90s with your hair like this, looks nice! Congratulations to you on your journey
Hey from Canada! I've been watching for a couple of years and I have to say you are glowing! You look happy and healthy. I love to document things myself (through writing) and I think it's super cool your son will have these videos to look back on one day! Your progress is showing and that is something to be proud of! Also your son is gorgeous and very lucky to have you!
Very glad to see a smile on ur face. Found ur episode on camera video. Subscribed. My father is paranoid schizophrenic. 73 years old. Very tough. Wishing you nothing but peace and growth.
Hi! I just discovered your channel which is so interesting cus i got to see some of your early videos as a teenager, and tbh I thought « gosh how can someone manage such a heavy mental illness » and now I’m watching you talk about being a dad and it brings me so much joy. I really admire your strength and how you kept going despite the suffering. I’ll be looking up your channel from time to time to catch up if the algorithm doesn’t take care of that!
Hey Brennan. I’m sorry to hear things have been a little tough lately. Don’t feel pressured to push out any content in particular, just do what brings you joy. Wishing you the best, man.
I'm glad to hear from you and it's very good to hear how well you are doing. I hope that you find inspiration and drive to make the content that is fulfilling to you. Thanks for the update!
Hey, I'm literally folowing you for...a few hours(?). Got home and decided to watch another video. But for me you do not seem like "that schizoprenic on youtube", your schizophrenia is definitely not your personality. From my side it is about how amazingly beautiful your life can be (at the very least sometimes) even though you have schizophrenia. How many things you can still try, have and experience. I'm a bit older than you, but I've never loved non of my exes that much (as you and her), and I find that fascinating, not everyone will have this type of connection in their life. You have your best friend, a son(!!), and I really delighted by how much of a great dad you seem to be (again, far not every sane male can be such dad, I know a lot of such stories from my friends, and I bet you do too) So, I'll be happy to see videos on how your life goes, what kind of stories do you want to tell (on any topic) and so on And, moreover, even if you hadn't had schizophrenia, I would have watched you because of how bright, warm and sunny you at the very least seem:) Sorry for a bit of a tedious methaphor, but I like to think of that the same way as with political (and pretty much every other) coordinates. You have to axes: personality and sanity. And they are perpendicular. So, we have four sections: - great person and mentally sane (I wish I was there, but....) - shitty sane person (every single person met at the very least one of them, and it's pathetic) - shitty insane person (that's just dangerous in my eyes, but so are really shitty sane people too though) - and great insane people (which you are very seem to be) So, it's your nice character which makes hearing and even seeing schizophrenia good. And also, it's your life, do whatever you truly like as much as you like)) fuck youtube algorithm (please note, that I've never earned money from youtube and do not know anything about that at all, so if that's your income, than I guess I get it) And, for real, thanks for the videos and the channel
Just wanna say that I dont think I've been so happy to see a life update. I just love all of this positivity! I'm glad to see that video from 5 years ago and then immediately see this video where you're still here and still kickin'. Rock on, man!!!!
Good to get an update man sorry to hear your relationship didn't work out but hopefully you can stay friends and most importantly you are both there for your son 🐧🐤🐧 hopefully the rest of 2024 will be good for us all
Good to hear ur doing well mate, sorry to hear about ur relationship but sounds like you guys did wat was best for everyone involved ❤ u look great man keep shining
I had not been getting the notifications till i just caught last of your live. You look great and you look happy. Sad i missed these videos have a couple to catch up on. Sending love ❤ and prayers 🙏 from the uk. Look forward to next live if it's a little earlier lol it is 5am here. Take care. X
Hey! Just wanna say I’ve grown up in a single parent household (though completely single, my dad have barley been in my life due to his mental illness) and you don’t gotta be worried! The whole thing about ‘the parents GOTTA be together’ is a bunch of crap I’d say. My half brother’s dad and my mom aren’t together either. And my brother is doing completely fine! As long as you give your child enough love and is there for them and teach them to talk about feelings and all that it’s okay! And maybe you’ll have to answer some uncomfy questions when they’re older but hey, that’s just parenthood 🤷 So you don’t gotta be worried :> It usually really depends on how the PARENTS relationship is. Like if the kid sees the parents always fighting yes then it will be bad. But if your kid never sees you fighting or talking bad about each other it’s most likely okay!
Hello! I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm just commenting to let you know that you shouldn't worry about Wesley growing up with parents that are not together. My parents got divorced when I was very young so I grew never knowing what they were like together. They stayed good friends even after the divorce and my dad even got remarried and had two more kids. I love my half brothers and my step mom and I would never say that my life is worse because of the divorce. I think that as long as he is surrounded by people that love and care about him, your son can have just as happy of a childhood as someone with parents who are together can have.
Same, my parents have never been together in my memory, but they are perfect with each other, I always knew that I could rely on both of them and I'm used to that perfect treatment (the way they treated each other), so it also influenced me in way that I've never had fights and etc with my exes
Make vidz about ur life man, ur boy, ur daily life, anything you want im in Australia 🇦🇺 so very far away I'd be interested in things in ur town that you love doing or seeing, I can send you some vidz of kangaroos in return hahaha
Yes, maybe, tell us one day why you and Mandy not together anymore ... 1:25 ... I thought that you Guys were perfect for each other. But, I'm shocked that you're not together still.
Don’t blame yourself or your condition, income level, nothing. We share the same story along with 90% of our generation. The next step is for her to alienate your son from you. You must record all the child support you give or else you will be in arrears after you take her to court for not letting you see your son. 60% chance of this outcome.
Just like when you were married, do not assume she will stay on friendly terms with sharing custody. Don’t do it. You have to think of your son‘s best interest now which means thinking differently and understanding the wickedness of the female heart. She’s either chasing chad or has a beta male provider. Am I right?
Health: It hasn't been better Remember yeah there is going to be ups and downs like you said Just make sure you keep replace those bad habits and have Jesus and dont let those demons in your home!🩷 You're doing great!🩷🩷🩷

I seen one of your vids from 6 years ago don’t know how. but I’m glad your still here!
It's actually GREAT to see that you talk about stuff outside of schizophrenia cause it shows people how you can live a full life
Sounds like a fun trip. Sending good vibes! I’m rooting for you! ✊
No way it’s you bruh. Chocolate rain came out when I was like 7 lmao

He’s lying. You don’t lose weight on psychotropic drugs.
