Im really sorry to hear about everything thats happened, especially between you and ester and the mental hospital, i really hope everything is good right now, you are amazing for dealing with it all ❤
Dude I just found your account and it honestly made my night and I feel a lot better. I struggle with anxiety and OCD and it’s really nice to see positive videos about mental health for once. remember it’s okay to not be okay, and you are never alone. recovery isn’t straight forward and there will always be some bad days, but it’s worth it and will make sense in the end ❤️🙏
7:00 is so real, when I was sent to the mental hospital I turned really extroverted, like even when I got out. I didn't realize anyone else was like that too Also, just wanna say I really like ur channel, its cool watching someone my age talk about similar experiences theyve had to me, really inspires me to want to make my own videos too lolzz
James, it's nice to see you again. You're the kind of guy I'd love to "sit and have a conversation with." Too bad I'm not nearby to you. I just noticed you have pierced-ear studs. I am planning to get studs soon, and I'm making a mental note of who I know that has done it. I am very sorry that things didn't work out with Esther as planned. It is nice that you two remain as friends. Thank you for being open about your mental health challenges. My brother hid his demons very well, so we could not help him ... and eventually he killed himself.
You are obviously a bright guy who might also be a little more sensitive than most. By sensitive, I mean more aware with a greater level of perceptual fidelity both externally and internally. That might be what's putting a strain on you that you experience as feeling overwhelmed by an overload of thoughts. You appear to understand that your first priority at this time has to be to take care of you and your brain by taking some of the strain off of it. That means putting everything you don't need to deal with right now on the back burner where you can pull it back out to deal with when you're ready to tackle it. (Here's a little secret: Most of that stuff will self-resolve all by itself without you even knowing.) For now, give yourself a break, slow things down, and take a peaceful walk where you give yourself the chance to enjoy the simple things around you that you normally don't have time to notice. If you feel the unresolved pressures seeping back in just remind yourself that right now you're on a break and are focusing only on enjoying today. Take as much time as you need. You will automatically deal with the old stuff you actually need to on a step-by-step basis when the time is right. Try not to forget that you have every right to be you, like who you see looking back from the mirror, and every right to thoroughly enjoy the fantastic adventure you are on. You are the only you who will ever exist so make sure you take good care of him. From what I saw in this video he/you certainly deserves that.
I don't think he's "more sensitive than most," the difference is he's OPEN about his feelings. Many guys share the same challenges he does but they don't talk about it and the storm inside them churns alone. James is a great role model showing it's okay to talk openly about your feelings...about loneliness, depression, anxiety, etc. Bravo James!
@@paulginthebay Hmm I don't really agree ..Some people are just more sensitive than others..Its not a slam on him or anyone I'm a very sensitive person too..Anotherwards a person can be as open af but not sensitive..and vice versa..😉
JAMES!!! we love you man, always prioritise yourself and don’t worry about providing to the community; as much as we love you and your vids please look after yourself, you should be your no1 priority! Also love the earrings (and I’m working on the art) ✨
James, I have been wondering where you were. You have so much to offer the world and the communities that you are part of. Also, for me you are a great relief from all of the craziness that is on TH-cam right now (election/political crap). I just want you to know that no matter what happens in life, there are always folks around who will help you in any way you might need. Also, if you don’t mind, I would offer you this advice that a friend gives me when things get nutty with some volunteer work that I do and that is take care of you. If you have to, slow the pace down or just walk away from the situation for a while. It’s still going to be there, but if you approach it with a positive attitude and a fresh perspective, it’ll be a lot easier to work on it. I apply that attitude to a lot more projects now and I find it easier to do things and get them done. My only problem is that sometimes I still procrastinate on some things when I should just go forth and do it. In the end I always feel good when I complete the project and it produces a lot of warm fuzzy feelings that can’t be got any other way. Despite everything around you, just keep on being you. You’re doing great and that’s what matters in all you do.
Sometimes, we overload our computers, and then they crash, and you have to reboot. Same thing with our minds. It's a good thing to be able to learn to recognize a "crash" coming on, and stop, take a breather, and reboot yourself. See if you can catch yourself heading for a crash, recognize the little warning signs, and do a "reboot". Hope that helps. As for You and Esther. Life is like that. Relationships begin, grow stronger, and sometimes you both realize you're heading in different directions. Sounds like the both of you dealt with it in a very mature manner. That's to your credit, man. There will be other relationships, certainly, and you always learn and grow from each one. I'm glad you both are able to remain friends.
James what are the medels behind you for? Must be something impressive. The fact your so open about your issues, you are so brave! I wish I was as strong as you!
Hi James, TH-cam suggested your channel to me, and I watched some of what you've shared so far. It's great that you're continuously seeking ways to deal with emotional lows. This way of communicating clearly helps you, and that's awesome. Keep it up and keep moving forward!
I’m going thru the same thing but I don’t know who to, or how to, talk to someone. Hearing ur videos have helped see that others are going through the same situation
Welcome back Jwool! I actually just got back from a psychiatric hospital myself a few weeks ago, so I can fully understand what you're going through. Don't pressure yourself to upload right now, just upload whenever you feel like it! 🔥
I’m sorry to hear of what happened to you. I know you’re dealing with ptsd too. I’m also dealing with ptsd too. So you’re not the only one in here. But I hope you get better at least ❤️🩹
I really wish you the best and hope you’ll get better soon! Ur really helping me rn cause I’m going through some similar thing and your videos help a lot because of your honesty
James, just saw your video and immediately prayed for you! God bless you buddy! Remember, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life! The world is better with James in it! God bless!
You have so many friends throughout the world and probably all of them wish there were a way to sit and talk with you for hours. Very few people in the world have that many people who care about them. Hang tough!
Taking a break from the world, talking with people around your age who are going through the same thing is like a mini reset. Life can be tough and at times overwhelming, if you can identify some of the things that are bothersome and try to keep things simple, it really helps. I don't know the dynamics of your situation with Esther, but being in a relationship when you're not doing good just adds to your anxiety levels. I hope you can get your life back on track. Don't rush, take a breath. Try not to expect too much or you'll set yourself up for failure. It sounds like you have great parents and step parents around you, they are going to help you feel safe and loved. It was very interesting listening to you talk, I admire your honesty, you're not afraid to show your vulnerability. I have a feeling you're going to do just fine. Please take care 💙
hey man, I discovered your videos a few weeks before you went into the hospital. I recently got out of one in July. It was not fun, but it kind of helped finding your channel finding other people that struggle is helping…. I hope you’re doing better man. I’m really sorry to hear about your break up but it was for the best for your mental health, so that’s what matter! On that note, I’m gonna go skate down my road lol welcome back to yt
Hello James. This is Randy in Chattanooga, Tennessee. First of all let me congratulate you on getting help. I know nothing about your spiritual background, but taking the “s-word” way out is not the answer. You won’t get to Heaven that way. Just remember this: WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN. I have faith in you brother. I don’t know how old you are, but I will be 73 this Saturday, the 26th. Take care and God bless.🙏🙏🙏🙏
hey james, shit gets so overwhelming sometimes but you can get out of it and youll be on the road again. i liked your analogy of the car it made a lot of sense. i love you man and watching your videos helps me with my own problems knowing im not alone. youre not alone james love you
Love the hair. Let it grow. Get some hair ties to put in pony to keep out of eyes (wrote all this be4 u explained your head trauma). Keep Esther in your life, she sounds like your best friend that u can talk about anything with her. When u go back please bring a keyboard w u to add to favorite activities to keep u occupied (b-ball & skating). You got this James. Your not just another number....all your subscribers (24.5k) love you bro. Keep busy w your fav activities & think positive thoughts always. Remember...the cup is ALWAYS half full...it is never half empty.
Hey my man, we're all glad to see another video uploaded from you, and I'm sorry for the circumstances that led to your absence. I encourage you to remember the things you already have in your life: You have two parents who love you, you are enrolled in college at a nice university, you have the resources available to you that allowed for you to get the help that you needed at the time, you have a great TH-cam following, including many that donate money to you, you're a good-looking guy, you have gotten recognized in public (I've written a book and I haven't even had that happen), you live and go to college in a prosperous state, you have the money to get paint for your nails for whatever reason, you have those sticker ideas...and who knows what else there is that you can think of that I can't because you're the one living your life. I'm sorry things did not continue with Esther, though remember when God closes one door, just walk down the hall (Stepping over your blood) and find the next open one. I missed you and your videos, but I want you to be okay even more. If it helps you, just remember all of the people on TH-cam who wait for your uploads. Stay strong James, we love you!
I'm proud of you for getting the help you needed. I've been hospitalized before, too, and it can be rough. I'm glad you're on good terms with Esther. College can get so stressful sometimes. Just keep going, you got this. Also, hopefully that injury heals well. Sending lots of love.
Remember every moment that You are Amazing. I’ve only just stumbled across your channel as it popped up as recommended to me. You are so well spoken. You are making a positive difference in this world. And you have a support structure of people that I hope remind you that you are amazing when you start to lose track of that. I’m 50 years old, have been through a lot, and definitely have some down moments (never suicidal, but definitely withdrawn). But being reminded by friends as well as family that I am an amazing person helps to lift out of that and helps me remind myself of that on my own. You are amazing in your own right, and even more so for sharing your streams in a way that no doubt helps others.
I love you for your honesty and how up front you are with your mental health. Keep posting when you can. just another bump in the road of life, You have such a great insight into your struggles with mental health,
🥰❤️💪💪stay strong dear friend. Watching you talk is just so inspiring. Your beautiful mind looks do griwn up. Such happy free spirit. Iget depressed alot too cause of my big eyesught problems so i can definitely relate to that. Good luck with university and cheer up tomorrow is a brand new day. 👍💪
Hi, before I start, I wish you all the best and good luck with your recovery. I had an argument with my friend, who is not only my friend but also my roommate, and he ended up leaving the room in the middle of the night and taking everything that belonged to him. We've been friends for 15 years, but because I changed schools (which was a very difficult period for me, where I ended up going into depression and being totally alone), I didn't talk to him, so now when I went to college, we decided to talk again and share a room together, but what he didn't know was that I had changed, I became a more closed and sensitive person, and my “new” behavior ended up not pleasing him, and that's why we got upset. But thanks to your video, it reminded me that I'm not alone in this battle, and that although my 15-year friendship is over, life goes on, and with a purpose. Thank you so much❤. Btw sorry for my bad english, im from portugal.
You have a lot of courage for sharing what you did. It's great because so many other people are having similar challenges, but many share those tough times with no one. Seeing your openness is an inspiration to many. You're awesome - never give up; pain & struggle pass and sunlight isn't far away. Peace!
Like so many of your ~25K subscribers, I love you, and I missed you, and am very happy that you are doing so well (under the circumstances). It is amazing how you are able to connect with people and become part of their emotional lives.
She can still be your best friend! So glad you're not getting your hair shaved it looks really nice right now, so chill 😄 good to hear from you again. I would love and hang out with you and chill but I don't live in Arizona 😢
So glad you accepted help. I was hospitalized years ago after a similar episode, while in hospital it was determined that I was bipolar, and also several other disorders. It's been years now, and I've not gone back to hospital, but I continue to see my therapist and psychiatrist, as well as take my meds. Best to you, it's a journey and sounds like you're on the right road now 💜💜💜
Sorry for you breakup, but glad you are back on your channel. It sounds like skate boarding is a great physical thing to do. How about some sport or social group activity with you college friends as a good diversion from class work?
Hey James. Glad to see you back on here. Just wanted to say that I’m 24 and a female, and I also deal with derealization and depression. I am , thankfully, not suicidal, but I understand how hard life must be for you at the moment. I just wanted to say that I hope to continue to see your face on here; I know a lot of people would miss you if you were gone. You’re such an inspiration to me; I wish I would’ve gotten help at your age. You’re awesome!
I found your channel yesterday and it’s great by the way never feel pressured into making these videos your health/mental health matters more than making these videos and when you are able to prioritise that and be able to vent to everyone is great
James I'm so happy you are doing better and taking care of yourself and im sorry about everything you've been through. Your videos have helped so many people, and i hope you find someone who helps you the same way. You seem like an amazing guy and the world needs you. Also i think your hair looks good like it is (but dont listen to a random ass 16 year old girl on the internet lol)
Hey James, I'm so glad to hear from you. I hope things improve, storms always pass. Just focus on the small/simple things that make you happy. really missed you❤
Hey James, I’ve been enjoying your videos for some time (can’t remember since when lol), and I’ve also been struggling a lot. It’s gotten worse lately but I’m finally getting psychiatric help. I had to go to a doctor to get relayed to a psychologist/psychiatrist. The appointment just happened and honestly, I did lie quite a bit. I said that I didn’t do sh anymore and I didn’t say I want to kms but I could say that I need immediate help so hopefully that happens soon. They told us to contact a place (idrk what it is but like a psychiatric place) and get an appointment. You are a great inspiration for me and I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t found your channel and other people on the internet. Anyway should I keep updated? It feels good to talk to random people on the internet for some reason.
Erm so they’re sending me to a psychiatric clinic. I still have to decide where exactly and there’s waiting time. I hope it helps and doesn’t do more harm than good because I will be away from school and stuff…
James, it's such an encouragement to see you! I've had a couple of major breakdowns, didn't go to a mental hospital, God blessed me with some pretty amazing Friends and family, but I can relate to allot of what you've been through and said. The one thing you said that concerned me is "friends said why don't you just *unalive* yourself." I'm thinking you didn't mean friends. I'm would think you know anyone who tells you that is no friend. Just wanted to call that out. I've spent allot of time in prayer and came away with a peace that caused me not to worry. One thing I would encourage you to consider often is that very little in life that is worth having comes easy. The struggle is worth the reward. Thanks for making this video my friend, it means a great deal me and to allot of us here. I have family in the Phoenix / Scottsdale area and get down there from time to time. If we ever cross paths I'll come say hi and make whatever time you want to talk. I bet you have some awesome stories. Take care of yourself my fiend, when it comes to others, trust, but verify.
I don't see where my last comment was posted. I am praying for ya man. I've not nothing but love for ya. I hope your head gets better mentally and physically from the stitches. I have a podcast called Everyday Beautiful People; I'd love to get you on sometime for an interview. Mike
Stay strong, brother. I know it is such a difficult battle. I know more than you may realize. Been battling those emotions for 30 years now and the meds help take the edge off but they don't stop them. Counseling isn't helping much either but I'm still hoping for an eventual change. Much love James. I was relieved to see you posted a video and knew you were 'alright.'
You are an amazing young man and you will bounce back in Jesus name. You have no idea the impact you are making on so many people lives. Keep being transparent.
I was in the same place as you in college a long time ago in the early ’80’s due to a failed love. I got committed to the psych ward for a few days on suicide watch. It’s a tough place to be mentally but people are there to help. It does feel odd after that but focusing on putting one foot in front of the other and just going for life. I found a local meditation group that worked for me longer term. Everyone is different tho, go with what seems most appropriate. All the best. I’m rooting for you.
Just found your Chanel recently! Just want to let you know you’ve saved my life. You’ve helped me realize my thoughts are normal and I can get help. Thank you so much. ❤ u so much
Im glad you're back man! Not gonna lie you had me a bit worried when you dissappeared for so long. Please know we dont expect you to upload frequently, just prioritise your mental health and post whenever you want to
The change in your relationship with Esther is part of growing up. It’s nice to hear that you’re on good terms with her. Having close intimate relationships is one of the ways that we learn to care for others and to care for ourselves. I think you get that
James, you're fine uploading whenever you can. We respect your time. Glad you got some help. You're of great value to this world!
Thank you man I appreciate that
@@Jwool.mp3my thoughts exactly bro. None of us are in any hurry, my brother. As long as you’re okay then we’re okay 😊
@@Jwool.mp3 yea like whenever you can its your call once you are okay
names Shawn BTW i hope you enjoy the rest of your day- night and yeah
You are my favorite person to watch ❤
just found your channel recently, love you bro
Thank you man I appreciate it, I love you too
Im really sorry to hear about everything thats happened, especially between you and ester and the mental hospital, i really hope everything is good right now, you are amazing for dealing with it all ❤
I asked you about him the other day if you saw it . Glad he’s okay
Keep that honesty flowing!🎉Thanks!
Thank you my man!!
Dude I just found your account and it honestly made my night and I feel a lot better. I struggle with anxiety and OCD and it’s really nice to see positive videos about mental health for once. remember it’s okay to not be okay, and you are never alone. recovery isn’t straight forward and there will always be some bad days, but it’s worth it and will make sense in the end ❤️🙏
As someone who suffers from OCD really badly, just remember you can make it through anything. The ocd doesn’t need to be listened to.
7:00 is so real, when I was sent to the mental hospital I turned really extroverted, like even when I got out. I didn't realize anyone else was like that too
Also, just wanna say I really like ur channel, its cool watching someone my age talk about similar experiences theyve had to me, really inspires me to want to make my own videos too lolzz

Oh boy Jimmy, you scared us. I’m so glad to see you back and on track with your studies and your life. Huge hug 🤗.
car analogy is great tbh
we’re here for you man glad you’re okay! ❤
I'm so glad you're back, James! ❤

Hi Jwool I hope everthing will get better. But it will eventually just be patient and focus on yourself and collage right now!!💙
Thank you!! I agree, things will get better, I’ve been a bit better since the hospital
I must say that I LOVE your shirt!!!!!! There is NOTHING like a big, long, tight, warm hug!!!!!!
Sending hugs James! New fan here
I was just thinking about you the other day! I’m glad you’re back and I’m happy to see a new video! Stay strong💕
James what are the medels behind you for? Must be something impressive. The fact your so open about your issues, you are so brave! I wish I was as strong as you!

glad to see you're doing better. sorry you've had a tough few weeks. you'll get thru everything. you're a great person! love you brother
I’m so glad that ur open and honest about this, not many people are and I’m glad that you are able to share ur story 😊
I’m going thru the same thing but I don’t know who to, or how to, talk to someone. Hearing ur videos have helped see that others are going through the same situation
Welcome back Jwool! I actually just got back from a psychiatric hospital myself a few weeks ago, so I can fully understand what you're going through. Don't pressure yourself to upload right now, just upload whenever you feel like it! 🔥
so glad your back and u got some help, sorry to hear about u and esther, and sorry to hear about you head. keep well!
James tbh I'm just glad your finding help. Take your time with everything, and your community is always gonna be here for you. Love you bro❤
Mr.JAMES is back in the house. We all missed you and are rooting for you 👍🙏☺️
I’m sorry to hear of what happened to you. I know you’re dealing with ptsd too. I’m also dealing with ptsd too. So you’re not the only one in here. But I hope you get better at least ❤️🩹
I really wish you the best and hope you’ll get better soon! Ur really helping me rn cause I’m going through some similar thing and your videos help a lot because of your honesty
James, just saw your video and immediately prayed for you! God bless you buddy! Remember, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life! The world is better with James in it! God bless!
You’re a gentle soul James. You sound well rested & personally I think your long hair looks great. Love you man.❤️
You have so many friends throughout the world and probably all of them wish there were a way to sit and talk with you for hours. Very few people in the world have that many people who care about them. Hang tough!
I’m glad you felt it helped and you came out better than you went in! That’s not the experience for a lot of us but so glad you’re doing a bit better🤍
Taking a break from the world, talking with people around your age who are going through the same thing is like a mini reset. Life can be tough and at times overwhelming, if you can identify some of the things that are bothersome and try to keep things simple, it really helps. I don't know the dynamics of your situation with Esther, but being in a relationship when you're not doing good just adds to your anxiety levels. I hope you can get your life back on track. Don't rush, take a breath. Try not to expect too much or you'll set yourself up for failure. It sounds like you have great parents and step parents around you, they are going to help you feel safe and loved. It was very interesting listening to you talk, I admire your honesty, you're not afraid to show your vulnerability. I have a feeling you're going to do just fine. Please take care 💙
Glad to know your doing alight man 🤍don’t pressure yourself:)
Welcome back glad you seem better
Thank you!!
Glad you're back James! Keep doing well man, you are Awesome!
Most important thing is you are well James, take care ❤
hey man, I discovered your videos a few weeks before you went into the hospital. I recently got out of one in July.

Hii! Its really good to see you posting again! Hope you have a good week!!
Glad you're OK. Praying for you, bro.
Heyy JWool, you're amazing, please stay on the game bro, you're needed on this shitty planet😊

You got this James. Your not just another number....all your subscribers (24.5k) love you bro. Keep busy w your fav activities & think positive thoughts always.
Remember...the cup is ALWAYS half full...it is never half empty.
Hey my man, we're all glad to see another video uploaded from you, and I'm sorry for the circumstances that led to your absence. I encourage you to remember the things you already have in your life: You have two parents who love you, you are enrolled in college at a nice university, you have the resources available to you that allowed for you to get the help that you needed at the time, you have a great TH-cam following, including many that donate money to you, you're a good-looking guy, you have gotten recognized in public (I've written a book and I haven't even had that happen), you live and go to college in a prosperous state, you have the money to get paint for your nails for whatever reason, you have those sticker ideas...and who knows what else there is that you can think of that I can't because you're the one living your life. I'm sorry things did not continue with Esther, though remember when God closes one door, just walk down the hall (Stepping over your blood) and find the next open one. I missed you and your videos, but I want you to be okay even more. If it helps you, just remember all of the people on TH-cam who wait for your uploads.
Stay strong James, we love you!
welcome back man! im glad you’re doing ok
Praying for your better times bro God love you and so do we get your life back on track on your time not anybody else’s ❤❤ much love bro
Really sorry to hear.
I've gone through the same thing.
I'm proud of you for getting the help you needed. I've been hospitalized before, too, and it can be rough. I'm glad you're on good terms with Esther. College can get so stressful sometimes. Just keep going, you got this. Also, hopefully that injury heals well. Sending lots of love.
Remember every moment that You are Amazing.
I’ve only just stumbled across your channel as it popped up as recommended to me. You are so well spoken. You are making a positive difference in this world.
And you have a support structure of people that I hope remind you that you are amazing when you start to lose track of that.
I’m 50 years old, have been through a lot, and definitely have some down moments (never suicidal, but definitely withdrawn). But being reminded by friends as well as family that I am an amazing person helps to lift out of that and helps me remind myself of that on my own.
You are amazing in your own right, and even more so for sharing your streams in a way that no doubt helps others.
You are more important then you know. Keep doing whatever you love.
I love you for your honesty and how up front you are with your mental health. Keep posting when you can. just another bump in the road of life, You have such a great insight into your struggles with mental health,
I Luv Your Hair and your Nails Your The GOAT James 🐐 don't change yourself or Ways Ur Awesome Just as You Are My Friend 😊❤🎉

Hi, before I start, I wish you all the best and good luck with your recovery.
I had an argument with my friend, who is not only my friend but also my roommate, and he ended up leaving the room in the middle of the night and taking everything that belonged to him. We've been friends for 15 years, but because I changed schools (which was a very difficult period for me, where I ended up going into depression and being totally alone), I didn't talk to him, so now when I went to college, we decided to talk again and share a room together, but what he didn't know was that I had changed, I became a more closed and sensitive person, and my “new” behavior ended up not pleasing him, and that's why we got upset. But thanks to your video, it reminded me that I'm not alone in this battle, and that although my 15-year friendship is over, life goes on, and with a purpose. Thank you so much❤.
Btw sorry for my bad english, im from portugal.
You have a lot of courage for sharing what you did. It's great because so many other people are having similar challenges, but many share those tough times with no one. Seeing your openness is an inspiration to many. You're awesome - never give up; pain & struggle pass and sunlight isn't far away. Peace!
Welcome back! You're almost at 25k!!!!!!
Like so many of your ~25K subscribers, I love you, and I missed you, and am very happy that you are doing so well (under the circumstances). It is amazing how you are able to connect with people and become part of their emotional lives.
She can still be your best friend! So glad you're not getting your hair shaved it looks really nice right now, so chill 😄 good to hear from you again. I would love and hang out with you and chill but I don't live in Arizona 😢
O love you speaking about your problems, hope it helps you, your hair is amazing and I love your new nails ;) Keep up, man!
So glad you accepted help. I was hospitalized years ago after a similar episode, while in hospital it was determined that I was bipolar, and also several other disorders. It's been years now, and I've not gone back to hospital, but I continue to see my therapist and psychiatrist, as well as take my meds. Best to you, it's a journey and sounds like you're on the right road now 💜💜💜
Good you going to college smart man I wish I went to college but I didn’t. I’ve been out of school next year for 40 years.
Sorry for you breakup, but glad you are back on your channel. It sounds like skate boarding is a great physical thing to do. How about some sport or social group activity with you college friends as a good diversion from class work?
You dealt with a lot, im really sorry you had to go through so much and its completely understandable that you needed a break
Ik it’s hard! You r strong ik you will one day find peace on earth and you’ll be able to live happier! 🥺
Life is so beautiful bro. Go travel in your 20s. It's not the end. It gets better.
Skateboarding is soooo fun. You're amazing
Isn't wonderful that you have four parent, Esther and 24,000 of us that you KNOW love you? God loves you too. Glad you are out and about. Skate On.
I'm glad you are OK! I was wondering what happened to you JW. You are on the right path!! HUGS!
I'm glad you're back and doing better my friend. Please take care of yourself 🫂🤗🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey James. Glad to see you back on here. Just wanted to say that I’m 24 and a female, and I also deal with derealization and depression. I am , thankfully, not suicidal, but I understand how hard life must be for you at the moment. I just wanted to say that I hope to continue to see your face on here; I know a lot of people would miss you if you were gone. You’re such an inspiration to me; I wish I would’ve gotten help at your age. You’re awesome!
I found your channel yesterday and it’s great by the way never feel pressured into making these videos your health/mental health matters more than making these videos and when you are able to prioritise that and be able to vent to everyone is great
James I'm so happy you are doing better and taking care of yourself and im sorry about everything you've been through. Your videos have helped so many people, and i hope you find someone who helps you the same way. You seem like an amazing guy and the world needs you.
Also i think your hair looks good like it is (but dont listen to a random ass 16 year old girl on the internet lol)
Soooo good to see you ! You are showing a lot of strength my guy!
Your doing great keep it up.
Hey James, I'm so glad to hear from you. I hope things improve, storms always pass. Just focus on the small/simple things that make you happy. really missed you❤
Hey James, I’ve been enjoying your videos for some time (can’t remember since when lol), and I’ve also been struggling a lot. It’s gotten worse lately but I’m finally getting psychiatric help. I had to go to a doctor to get relayed to a psychologist/psychiatrist. The appointment just happened and honestly, I did lie quite a bit. I said that I didn’t do sh anymore and I didn’t say I want to kms but I could say that I need immediate help so hopefully that happens soon. They told us to contact a place (idrk what it is but like a psychiatric place) and get an appointment. You are a great inspiration for me and I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t found your channel and other people on the internet. Anyway should I keep updated? It feels good to talk to random people on the internet for some reason.
Erm so they’re sending me to a psychiatric clinic. I still have to decide where exactly and there’s waiting time. I hope it helps and doesn’t do more harm than good because I will be away from school and stuff…
And they also think I’m autistic, which I have thought about but idk
James, it's such an encouragement to see you! I've had a couple of major breakdowns, didn't go to a mental hospital, God blessed me with some pretty amazing Friends and family, but I can relate to allot of what you've been through and said. The one thing you said that concerned me is "friends said why don't you just *unalive* yourself." I'm thinking you didn't mean friends. I'm would think you know anyone who tells you that is no friend. Just wanted to call that out. I've spent allot of time in prayer and came away with a peace that caused me not to worry. One thing I would encourage you to consider often is that very little in life that is worth having comes easy. The struggle is worth the reward. Thanks for making this video my friend, it means a great deal me and to allot of us here. I have family in the Phoenix / Scottsdale area and get down there from time to time. If we ever cross paths I'll come say hi and make whatever time you want to talk. I bet you have some awesome stories. Take care of yourself my fiend, when it comes to others, trust, but verify.
im glad your head is healing, take care! and also don’t stress too much about the upload schedule ;)
I don't see where my last comment was posted. I am praying for ya man. I've not nothing but love for ya. I hope your head gets better mentally and physically from the stitches. I have a podcast called Everyday Beautiful People; I'd love to get you on sometime for an interview. Mike
Stay strong, brother. I know it is such a difficult battle. I know more than you may realize. Been battling those emotions for 30 years now and the meds help take the edge off but they don't stop them. Counseling isn't helping much either but I'm still hoping for an eventual change. Much love James.
I was relieved to see you posted a video and knew you were 'alright.'
Glad to see you back man!
You are an amazing young man and you will bounce back in Jesus name. You have no idea the impact you are making on so many people lives. Keep being transparent.
I was in the same place as you in college a long time ago in the early ’80’s due to a failed love. I got committed to the psych ward for a few days on suicide watch. It’s a tough place to be mentally but people are there to help. It does feel odd after that but focusing on putting one foot in front of the other and just going for life. I found a local meditation group that worked for me longer term. Everyone is different tho, go with what seems most appropriate. All the best. I’m rooting for you.
Just found your Chanel recently! Just want to let you know you’ve saved my life. You’ve helped me realize my thoughts are normal and I can get help. Thank you so much. ❤ u so much
Hey James, I’m so sorry you haven’t been in a great state. You are loved very much and you are doing amazing. Keep going strong
Im glad you're back man! Not gonna lie you had me a bit worried when you dissappeared for so long. Please know we dont expect you to upload frequently, just prioritise your mental health and post whenever you want to
Your very brave lad and to be able to talk about it and guide other people in the same situation ❤
We will all always be here for you man. Stay strong, and know that you are not alone, ever.
The change in your relationship with Esther is part of growing up. It’s nice to hear that you’re on good terms with her. Having close intimate relationships is one of the ways that we learn to care for others and to care for ourselves. I think you get that
