@@sheabaddiewitherbaddiefrien But he was serving the US army, not a Vietnamese farmer (who's disabled children I'd put on the same benefits I demand out of the army budget!)
More media coverage needs to be given to people with invisible disabilities, especially when they have to disclose their disability in a work environment
Yeah, I have cystic fibrosis which is an invisible illness and in my past jobs I’ve always had the question: would you consider yourself to be disabled? When applying. I always put no because I don’t consider myself to be disabled, but then they’re unaware that I have CF, and it’s important that they do know because I can’t be near smoke or certain chemicals/dirty water and mould
Dude, Andrea's story is mind boggling. She feels like a burden to her family. Her disability is a consequence of past US gov chemical warfare. When she was born with that disability, US gov should have paid for the family's medical expenses immediately.
I had an uncle die from the effects of agent orange. He got brain cancer and the govt never covered his expenses. Agent Orange was and is truly awful if you research it, and I 10000% agree with your comment that anyone directly impacted whether they were on the frontlines or had a parent on the front lines, NEEDS to get things paid for because its not their fault whatsoever.
And the unfortunate thing was that she mentioned how her family still had to take out so many loans and was left in poverty, so much so that she had to move across the country! The gov really needs to do something about this
Agent Orange is wreaking havoc in Vietnam to this very day, due to genetic mutations that are passed on over generations. Many children end up in children's homes, because parents can't cope . Some areas are still heavily contaminated. It is just sad. It's horrible that there are war victims that haven't even experienced a war in their lifetime. Humans anywhere should think hard about warfare. I am not a big fan about wars at all, but this kind of chemical warfare and things like land mines should have never been used in the first place. That Andrea's family doesn't get help from the government is horrible. They inflicted a whole lot of pain to all of them.
@MurzelMachtMusik yea I partly argree with you. As a Vietnamese myself, I know that our government do support and give many privileges to the veteran and people suffered from the agent orange. It's really sad for me and my grandpa (who is actually a veteran) knowing the us gov doesn't do the same way.
I am adopted, I love this idea because i feel as though there is a lot of shame that comes with being adopted. I hate it when people say “haha you’re adopted” and use it as an insult, that’s really annoys me. I would hope that this video is able to show that adopted people can be proud of who they are. Edit: The haha you’re adopted insult is more directed at people that aren’t actually adopted. It is supposed to make them feel like because of that they aren’t as loved by their parents but in my case my mother couldn’t give birth due to disease but they still wanted a family so they adopted. They adopted internationally so I am of another race then my parents. Restaurants in small towns or when we are traveling abroad have been rude or upright refused us service because we were a multiracial family.
Scandalous peach you think he can just go out and make tens of thousands of dollars to afford a cure, it's pretty insensitive for you to say he should just get the money like its just that easy for him
That’s a really good one!! I feel undereducated about schizophrenia, and I think a video with several different people who maybe suffer differently would help to educate a lot of us.
While you wait for them to make a video on that (because I’m pretty sure that they will), there’s a girl named grace niccole who has a youtube channel where she talks about what it’s like to have schizophrenia
That would be very cool, actually. Like the comment above said, I feel very sheltered from and uneducated on schizophrenia. It would be neat to see multiple people with that illness all express their experiences differently.
That is a dangerous thought to think, just because you have went through something like depression doesnt mean you can help them. You can be more empathetic but they should really still seek professional help on top of friend/family support
I really really feel bad for Taylor. She lost her entire career, dreams and goals cuz of her gymnastics accident. Like the world must've turned upside down for her, all of a sudden. Yet she's here being strong. Massive respect!
The worst part is its the fault of her coach who bullied her into doing a move she didn't feel safe doing. Idk how I could let go of that type of anger
"Do all people with depression think the same" I think it would be a great look at how not everyone with depression has the same symptoms or feelings about their mental condition
@@charliebaby6 There are too many mental illness that are too vastly different from each other. Narrowing it down to depression for one episode would be better.
I would love that or one for people with anxiety disorders. Both are such common issues and it would not only help people who suffer with them understand themselves and feel like they arent alone, but it would help others understand how people are feeling and how they could help
I think feeling like a burden is becoming so much more prevalent as a whole in the society that praises being independent, but I don’t think anyone is ever truly independent. Dependency and burdensome become blurred lines sometime. But I can agree with that statement at a person who suffers with several disabilities. I think it’s very hard to overcome those feelings when you have to do heavily rely on others on a regular basis. In the years of my worst symptoms, I pushed those feeling off constantly. My mom helped me with everything. She took me to the doctor (sometimes several times/week), walked me to the bathroom when I was dizzy, brought me meals in bed, and even helped make flash cards for school. She held me in the middle of the night as I sobbed through panic attacks. She helped work through my stuff joints and even did my physical therapy exercises with me. It’s just super hard not to feel like a burden when another human does all that for you. I love my mom so much and do not know where I would be without her.
I dont know of one single disabled person who has not felt like a burden. It just comes with the territory. We never want help but at times are forced to ask. It's because the dream is complete self sufficiency 100% of the time.
I have a chronic illness (juvenile diabetes) and there are 100% time where I've felt like a burden. Every chronically sick/disabled person has those times. We can be expensive to take care of. We can be a lot of work to take care of. But I feel like that just comes with it, and the people who love you, dont mind at all. They love you the way you are
When the two girls started talking about how guilty they feel and how they feel like a burden i got so sad, because my long term boyfriend is in a wheelchair since he was barely a year old and he is so insecure and his confidence is so low because of him telling himself he is a burden and because of how much help he has needed, him and his family thinking he wouldnt live to 18. It hurts so much to see and have to experience because i love him more than the air i breathe and seeing him feel so bad about himself breaks my heart. He is probably the most physically handsome and beautiful man i've ever met and his personality is so charming, its hard to hear that he thinks he is ugly or that people only compliment him because they sympathize. The pain we go through because of your disabilities is non-existent compared to the pain we see you go through because of what you tell yourself.
@@Michelle-fz4px Your comment made me tear up, and I’m glad you’re not only there for your boyfriend, you love him no matter of how he looks, and his disability. Have a good day, evening, or night.
Yeah I literally broke down crying because I knowwwwww how that feels and it hit home so much for me because I have a similar background. ❤ They are all so inspiring
I really love that they included someone with idiopathic hypersomnia. So many times sleep disorders are not viewed as a true disability. Especially in schools when seeking accommodation. Thanks jubilee for these well crafted videos and honest conversations!
this is one of the best episodes yet. when they started talking about being a burden, my heart broke. really appreciate how this channel gives a platform for these conversations
Everyone with mental disability have once felt this, trust. We constantly feel like we're not keeping up with the rest of society and always comparing ourselves to others. I think 90% of us have low self confidence.
my little sister is disabled (she has cerebral palsy) and i’ve never thought to myself if she felt like a burden or not. it makes me want to make sure she never feels that way.
doin art i don’t discriminate anyone. Everyone to me is the same whether you’re disabled or not. i’ve lived with my sister my entire life so i have no reason to discriminate her or others. I’ve never thought about it because i was too busy helping her & i don’t see her as a burden. i don’t know if that’s how she feels about herself. thanks for the comment though :)
I personally feel like I get less and less ignorant from this show. I love learning all the different sides and what people think, then using that information into the real world.
Same! This is so educational on a cultural level. You get to see points of view of people whose lives are completely different than yours or than those of people you know. It's truly enlightening, and it helps us all understand and feel empathy for each other.
Erin Gallagher-Hargrove you would love bbc three. it’s a channel here on yt and there’s a series about “what not to say to” (ex what not to say to disabled people) i love it
The “I feel like a burden” question broke my heart. As a mom of an autistic child I want to say that to your parents, you aren’t a burden. You’re a blessing just as you are. I wouldn’t change my daughter. She’s perfect as she is.
I can't speak for others but for me autism isn't defeating, I recognize that I don't really connect with people for one reason or another but usually it's an issue of caring for me. I'm perfectly happy by myself for weeks at a time, in my experience being alone isn't so bad as it might seem. You have to be able to entertain yourself though, hobbies. (programming is common for asd and very cool, just saying)
I’m autistic and I also have anxiety and depression and I’ve often felt like a burden to my family. I’m trying to get out of that mind set. Autism makes me who I am and I wouldn’t change that but I’d gladly get rid of the anxiety and depression.
@@connorking984 I strongly agree with you Conner. Because it was supper difficult for me to connect with others not just people who know me, yet other individuals out there who don’t know me, and know them back. Not only through hobbies, and interest to connect with anyone I need to connect with them on psychological, and spiritual level.
oh what i and so many others, as autistic children, would give to have a parent like you. autism isn't something to be cured, nor is it a burden. there are struggles, but no child is a burden. your daughter is very, very lucky
@@connorking984 i wish i felt like you do, my autism diagnosis felt like a death sentence to me because all ive ever wanted is to fit in and have friendships and relationships- to be liked and loved. and i worked soo hard to try to do that but when i was diagnosed i basically realised that the problem was always me and that no matter how hard i try it will never change. I would do anything to not be autistic, the pain and trauma of forever being alone just isnt worth being who i truely am.
I've got family that has cancer and some family friends that have cancer. It's really interesting (albeit heartbreaking) to see the different perspectives. I think that would make a great video.
Thank you, i think it is really important to understand where cancer survivors are coming from considering on how tragically they display it on media. I believe a lot of people have assumptions on this concept and stereotypes that need to be broken. I had Ependymoma ( brain cancer ) back in 2011(Am 15 now) and it has really affected my ability going through school especially with physical activity so It would be very nice to see and understand peoples stories.
meowpower it’s a thing with every disabled and chronically ill person. We wish we didn’t need so much help and as a result of that we hate asking for help
Foirelle like that but different. We have to ask for help for everything. I’m in band and I can’t move my own instrument. I have to ask my band director to help me communicate when I go non verbal. I have to ask for help with the slightest smallest thing. Some people with disabilities literally have to ask for help with being fed, changing medical equipment, popping joints back in place, getting up. I’m sorry but as a disabled person it’s a little insensitive to compare driving needs to being disabled.
Foirelle I understood where you were coming from. It is similar, just so much more frequent and it very quickly reaches a point that’s very difficult to cope with internally - even for the toughest of us. That said, we all have our obstacles. Mine may be neurological, physical, and emotional; someone else may be dealing with financial and emotional obstacles - with a painful neck from sleeping wrong and a boss that won’t get off their back. With few exceptions, we ALL deal with some killer hardships at one point or another, whatever form those hardships may come in. And we all find ways to cope in the best ways we know how.
I appreciate the variety of people featured here: visible and invisible disabilities. Those who were born with their conditions, others who developed them later. This is important. No two disabled people face the same challenges or feel the same and it’s important to showcase that.
Paul didn't say a lot, but when he spoke it was so impactful. It's wonderful to hear that he wants to be a motivational speaker to help people. Does anyone know if he has a social media account?
@@ThePaulAnStory was literally waiting for every chance to hear your take on the questions. The way you speak is so eloquent and admirable. Best wishes!
the girl that in the car accident when she was 11 years old, she shouldn't feel like a burden. she was a 11 years old. she wasn't the one driving or on the road by her choice. it is sad she feel like she is a burden to her parents , when she had no choice and this was just some terrible event that accord in her life.
SellyNue Clearly not. They’re simply pointing out it’s not her fault, not saying it’s someone’s fault they’re disabled. Just because they singled someone out doesn’t meant they don’t feel that way for anyone else.
SellyNue why is there always one of those people that love to twist people’s words around 🙄😒🙄. Did I state that? Did you see anywhere that I wrote that? No. I just feel bad she personally blames herself for uncontrollable situations. I never stated that I think the others disabilities were intentionally 🙄
And I feel this way as a disabled person. I'm afraid of overheating in public so I don't leave the house and I'm completely dependent on my parents. I have Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (I hate when it's referred to the as the Vampire disease). Besides the lack of hair I look normal on the outside, but I have no sweat glands, lack of teeth, no pigment in my skin. The fear of passing out in public is really overwhelming. But I know that without my parents and brother I would be so lost. and it's really hard to know that I can't go anywhere without them that I can't do anything on my own.
@Miguel Hernandez Just because you say it in another way it's still the same. And it's RUDE. You try living with it daily then call me a vampire! It's NOTHING to JOKE about!
Makeup With Smidge disabilities are something that impact your daily life. it is a disability as it inhibits her from doing certain activities and impacts her daily life..
Makeup With Smidge just because she isn’t limping or isn’t on a cane doesn’t mean she is not disabled. Sleep disorders are in the DSM-V (a manual for diagnosing and labeling disabilities) and they can prevent you from working and thriving in daily life. Sleep affects serotonin and dopamine levels which can cause depression, decreased focus, and mood swings.
I am blind in my right eye & have low vision in my left eye, I've recently had a torn retina in my right eye. It's a disability that goes unnoticed cus physically I appear to be ok & people dont understand why I'm not working or driving they think I'm just being lazy. My father was in the Vietnam war & was exposed to Radiation & Agent Orange which I know has to be responsible for my eye condition.
I would love to see a video like that. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and I feel like people always try to compare disorders they don't understand to disorders that they do. But there is much more to a BPD than that.
lilly y yesssss I have bipolar disorder and the way doctors describe it it’s nothing like the real thing I would say you don’t get mood swings you get stuck on a mood either too depress for moths years and manic for weeks. Also I love being bipolar manic attack mace you psychotic and it’s awesome I am so happy I get to experience my brain in that form I get to experience what only the 2% of us that can.
Im disabled and i literally laughed out loud at the 2nd question. Let me give you an example . I get about $300 a month. Just the TESTING for my meds is about $450 per month. You do the math. Edit: Damn thank you for all the support, i expected like 1 or 2 comments not 1.5k likes in a few hours. The fact that so many of you see the bigger picture and show support while only a few dont gives me a tiny sliver of hope for this world. Seriously, thank you.
Thank you for including someone with an invisible disability. As someone with JIA, I often feel like people with invisible illnesses and handicaps are often overlooked.
Hey, y’all this is Marissa from this episode. This topic was something that is very important to me, and I’m very glad to have been a part of it! Thank you so much to everyone in this video as well as those behind the scenes. I’m glad that we had the opportunity to speak our truth while educating others . Also thank you to everyone who has been giving such positive feedback. Love y’all ❤️
I literally gasped when Grace said the words idiopathic hypersomnia. I've literally never seen it talked about and it's so refreshing to just casually see someone deal with what I have.
@@shawnhall3849 and? today I'm drawing and talking to real people, going for walks, and sleeping a healthy amount of time last month I was stuck in my bed yelling at people who don't exist, sleeping max 3 hours, getting unnecessarily angry at my mother for things that don't exist that doesn't mean I'm faking it or I got better forever, it just means that my problems fluctuate schizoaffective bipolar type btw
12:21 seeing her crying and talking about how her mother was always by her side got me feeling things I didn't need to feel right now.. gosh! :') Omg the likes.. now I'm touched.. we all cried for the same reason, let's hug now!
Interestingly enough, at the prompt “I would change my disability”, all the people who were born with it went to the disagree side, while the people who gained their disability’s later in life went to agree.
I noticed the exact same thing. As someone whos had their disability their entire life, I cannot imagine life without it. Part of me would say yes but part of me would also say no. I think its a really hard question to ask someone whos been born with it.
I found that interesting as well. As a child, I had a friend who was born with severe MD. We were friends from age 6-12. Unfortunately, she died before her 13th Bday. I know her well enough to know she would have definitely have wanted to be healthy instead. I couldnt tell if the ppl who answered "disagree" were trying to be strong, or truly felt that way.
@@TECHnicallyBlind i gained my disability a few years ago- and i think its because those of us who have had the opportunity to live a non- disabled life know what comes with it and i think theres the part where we grieve what we used to be able to do, where as people who were born disabled were never were able to do certain things like for us we had our opportunities stripped from us by becoming disabled but for people like you who have had it their whole life were never presented with those opportunities and i think thats the reason we yearn to go back
As a small child I used to wish to be "normal" but as I got older and experienced life I felt I probably would not have been the type of person I am. I was broken emotionally by the bullying of childhood so level of empathy and sympathy for others is deeper than most people. I rarely find someone who feels about others as I do.
Hey it’s Taylor Lindsay-Noel from the video! To everyone so far that’ve sent me sweet messages across my social media I really do appreciate it. I feel very blessed to have been a part of this video and I appreciate all the insightful and kind feedback 💜
TotallyGeekage - my family has a saying “if you have met one person with autism, the you’ve met one person with autism” Autism presents is so many different ways, I would love to see that video!
anon anon it’s just a way of addressing how people with autism are represented in stereotypes; being awkward, unable to talk, unable to have sexual tendencies-things like that nature. I have a cousin with autism, and I used to think everyone was just like him. Turns out, it’s just how they’re raised and how the issues are tackled when they’re young :)
@@geoffreykelso7496 why would she be without a disability in the plus sized video? She very much still has her disability, it was not the topic of the video so it did not need to be stated.
@@geoffreykelso7496 There was nothing said in the video that her disability is a leg injury. Yes she has a cane in the disabolity video, but it does not mean that she needs the cane at all times. All I'm saying is it seems her disability would be considered an invisible disability. She still had a disability in the plus size video.
i recently got diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia and it was wild to hear this girl talk about it, i’ve never met anyone else w the diagnosis and it feels so lonely sometimes
I too was surprised! I may not Idiopathic Hypersomnia, but I do have Narcolepsy which is pretty similar. Sleep disorders involving excessive sleep are rarely talked about
Same! I've been back and forth with diagnosises of idiopathic hypersomnia and Narcolepsy without cataplexy (I think that's type 2?). I had one doctor that was convinced that it was actually sleep apnea, who put me on a CPAP, even though my tests put me out of the apnea range. Unfortunately where I lived the only option for sleep doctors/specialists was also pulmonologists, and I think that was the main issue. I'm super happy with my new doctor, though!
im disabled as well and i do feel it. I can't really physically do anything and its always my parents or my sister helping me out and i just feel useless at times.
For a video about disabilities, this should really have captions. All videos should have captions. It's something that TH-cam is way behind on compared to other social media.
Cambria has that cry that makes you feel like your heart is getting ripped up. None of them deserve to feel this way. And Andrea saying she knows her dad thinks it’s his fault. I can’t imagine how he feels.
She works in media and is a writer! It was a shame to see her after her accident because she was such a great gymnast, but the silver lining is that she was able to develop her other traits :)
He's also so interesting and eloquent; I loved hearing him explain himself and I was really enlightened by what he said. I mean, the video as a whole taught me a lot, but he especially did. (And I loved his accent lol)
This is a suuuper bad idea for privacy/safety reasons. They wouldn't be able to show the victims faces or else their abusers could potentially find them....
thank you for this, especially for including people with invisible disabilities too. so many disabled people can feel like our disabilities aren't real because they aren't obvious to those around us. i still often feel like i can't call myself disabled because i'm still able to walk and go about my life in a relatively normal way. i felt like "disabled" wasn't a word that i could use, even though i have several medical problems that prevent me from doing things i would otherwise do. visibility for invisible disabilities is so so important. thank you for giving us that.
My best friends little brother has this. It is spelled Duchennes, I believe. The research says ppl with Duchennes are not as smart as “normal” ppl, but this kid is smarter in different ways. He is AMAZING with legos, he loves to design stuff, although he has to learn in a different way, and he has a bit of trouble talking, this is a kid I want to be around. Paul, I hope they find a cure soon, for you and my little friend.
"Do all elderly people think the same" I really want to know their thoughts on ageing and related health issues, life experience, interests, accommodating to technology, etc.
Jordan Leon omg yes. I’m partially deaf ( more on the deaf than hearing side) and I use subtitles for everything that I can and the auto generated subtitles are so inaccurate it’s so frustrating.
I did create and submit captions... Not great captions, but hopefully they get accepted so you'll be able to understand the video even just slightly better.
4:10, I’m crying. My best friends little brother had muscular dystrophy, or duchennes, I believe it is spelled. His muscles are going to degrade and he will die from it. I am crying, my heart goes out to you, Paul.
Andrea really highlights something that isnt talked about. That the cost of war isnt only death but lifetime issues that could be passed down to the next generation.
Loro sono umano yeah I remember a couple of years ago watching a documentary on Al Jazeera about children in Vietnam being born disfigured due to the chemicals used in the war
Cambria had me in tears when she broke down crying because I can totally relate. It wasn't until about 2 yrs ago that my life drastically changed because of a disability that came from nowhere an "invisible" one. Not only did my life change, but my 6 yr old and my family have had to completely adjust their lives. Going from being an independent, career having, single mother, to a dang near fully dependent person was the toughest thing for me. I truly feel that I am a burden but I know my family is there for me because they love me and love my daughter. Where would many of us be without people around who truly care!
Edwina Burroughs usually captions take time. most of the time they come out after the video has been uploaded. if they don’t put it on after a while tho that’d be such a shame
I created and submitted captions for the entire video. They aren't the greatest, of course, but they're there. It's just a matter of them being accepted.
@@sullyvevo9680 If you were not moved by that, you are a cold, heartless, boy. That woman made herself vulnerable and shared something very personal. You are the real sucker in all of this...
This was the strongest episode of the year. if I could I would hug those that said they felt like a burden. I know it won't change how they feel but still.
I’m bisexual and crushing on everyone in this video, but espesially Paul! He is so intelligent and has a lot of awesome things to say. And his axent is super cute!
XDeion100X we feel like one because we have to rely on family and friends to help us with normal everyday things. And they are spending hundreds of money for our disability needs. We feel guilty. I also hate the word 'special' for that exact same reason as that girl did in the video. I don't like being called special. It makes me remember all the cons I hate about my disability.
I went to a family session with my Dad’s disability group & it was so sad how everyone felt like I burden and all we (the supporters) wanted to do was help but sometimes made it worse :(
Natasha Velasquez yes! As a disabled who has benefits i can't really do much because living is so expensive especially in California. Half my money goes to our bills and even if I got to keep the other half of my money it's hard to save it because I'd probably spend it on stuff that I buy or I'm forced to pay because my parents think since I got money I should pay for myself. But they don't understand that I want to save it so I can do something with it; GO somewhere, BUY a puppy or something idk but how am I going to afford something if I can't save the money? and the 'Government' need to see that we can't just live off of 900 dollars each month! Rent cost at least 2500. ALMOST 3000 (that's ridiculous!) NOT INCLUDING other bills and crap. This needs to change for us disabled people who can't even do every day things like normal people such as walking by yourself, driving, going anywhere, have a normal childhood and normal elementary/high school like everyone else but we don't get that.
I’m deciding if I want to live on disability benefits or get an online job where I can make my own hours. I wish I could do both. The government needs to realize that disabled people can do some jobs but it’s just not enough money to survive which is WHY we need benefits.
It's not we suddenly are NOT disabled simply because we can work. Disabilities are permanent (in MOST cases) conditions that affect our ability to work. Maybe not making us unable to work, but definitely limits the types of jobs we can do.
I have a chronic illness that’s labeled as an invisible disability, called POTS and Dysautonomia. I park in handicapped spots with my placard and I get people saying I don’t have the right to park there because I can still walk and stand for short periods of time. It’s so infuriating. However I am very grateful for my boyfriend who helps me out a lot. If I pass out in public he makes sure people know not to call an ambulance or will help with chest compressions etc. I’m very grateful to have people who are able bodied in my life that help without overstepping and continue to be supportive
@@allesundmehr I really hope they do, people are gonna be mad but they're putting themselves out there to people who don't understand which is very risky so no comments will be good
Ugh! The “you’re too young to be sick” line. I have heard that so many freakin times. I’ve had a lot of experiences where people ( always the older generation) will either park behind me or pull up beside me in a handicap space to yell at me about how “it’s wrong to take your grandparents handicap sign just so you can park in the front” it’s mine btw.. and how I need to move so that they can park there. This is always when I wasn’t in my chair. I politely explain what an invisible illness and then kindly tell them to stop being ignorant and get out of my way.
Ah ya duh If I was having symptoms and had the choice to park handicapped or park in the back of the lot, I will choose handicapped because that is what is best for me and my body.
Hey, I know learning your disabled can be a shock that hurts for years. My mom dropped it in my in third grade when she knew and I was diagnosed for two years but she kept it from me and it hurt. It still hurts and I’m in ninth. I’m here if you need me
Piplup 722 We know its not our fault we just feel really bad cause our parents had to deal with a lot of things (coming from my experience) like countless hospital visits,countless surgeries. I even feel like a burden to not only my parents but my friends cause i know they all get stared at as well as i do when they walk next to me , a person with a disability, and that makes me feel horrible that they have to experience that with me. All of that is from my personal experience which is why i get why they went to the agree side.
@@briang1064 I'm so sorry you have to live that way, some people should mind their own business rather than staring at anyone who looks different on the street. I get what you're saying, it's really sad anyone would feel that way, though. I wish you the best, as well as anyone else who has ever felt like a burden (:
I think it’s strange how many people were moved by that part. Like I knew all of them were heading straight to the agree cause it’s just like an inevitable part of being disabled, yknow? Even though it’s not my fault, other people’s lives just would be so much easier if they didn’t have to look after me. I haven’t met a disabled person who hasn’t, at least to an extent, felt like a burden.
As some who has epilepsy, asthma and had open heart surgery, I actually feel like a burden to my family and to those around me. Every time it comes to dealing with money, I feel like it’s my fault and no one else’s. I often think about how my family would be like if I wasn’t born or if I didn’t have any medical issues. Sometimes I want to ask my family if they think I’m a burden.
@@grace906 Oh sweet one it's not your fault! You didn't choose those things! And even if you did, your family chose to have you. If they're supporting you, they're choosing that. Your friends are choosing to be your friends. That's a lot of choosing. For you. I get it though. I have often felt like a burden. But I think it's a burden that the government requires people to work to be able to live when we have enough food to feed everyone, more houses than homeless people, and could have a society based on cooperation not competition. I think it's a burden we have to pay for healthcare. I think it's a burden we don't get free counseling for...feeling like a burden. And that our families get that help too. I think it's a burden that we live in an ableist society that judges peoples worth by their ability to work in a society that doesn't even accommodate our disabilities, when often it would take such easy changes to make such a difference. It is so not your fault! And yea, for those who help support disabled people it's can be a tough job. But are all hard things unrewarding? If anyone acts like you're a burden, psh. They're burdening my heart. Even if people did feel like you were a burden somehow, you get to define your own worth. And everyone's worth is inherent. I've been there, but I promise. These are the voices of an ableist society screaming in your ear. They're not true.
In my opinion, the best episode of this series yet. For some reason, which I can't quite grasp, this gave a more open-minded feeling and made me genuinely interested to hear their stories. In other videos, I think many people come off as self-defensive when explaining things, which sometimes can't be helped but it's not very inviting to people who aren't in that situation and almost makes you feel unwelcome.
Thank you to the girl who pointed out that you get social security taken away if you save over $2,000. My sister is both physically and mentally disabled and she got hers taken away and my mom had to fight it. It's awful. It's like in order to avoid that you would have to trust someone else with your saved money and most people probably couldn't do that nor should they have to! Such a huge problem in the US.
Emma Newton yeah IEP are so incredible. I’m so grateful for that system. However, I’m so scared to give up my rights when I turn 18. It means I lose the technologies that help with my hearing disabilities.
Emma Newton I have M.E and fibromyalgia and just because people don’t see the condition they don’t think you’re suffering. It really sucks, it even effects my benefits because the people that judge me know nothing about it, and can’t see how I’m suffering and holding the pain back and composing myself. It’s like they want me crippled and begging to even acknowledge something’s wrong
@@C1umsyJester im so sorry you go through that! I am also someone who does not "look like" a person with a chronic illness and because of my age healthcare is less likely to accept my illnesses and help pay for treatment and medications. It's so frustrating!
Would love this ! I'm a youth addiction counsellor and I know there are certain methods/opinions I don't agree with so I'd be curious to see what others think!
I burst into tears when that woman talked about how she felt like a burden. I have felt that way for years. While I'm blessed to be able to do most things an an abled person can do, I suffer everyday with chronic pain, chronic migranes, ptsd, and a chronic illness. It kills me everytime my parents have do go out of their way to help me. Especially because I know it breaks their hearts.
Because it's easier to say this to others than believe it myself I'll tell you this, YOU ARE WORTHY. Your existence matters and whether you know it or not you've affecting people positively already. You're not a burden to people who love you. No more than anyone else. Having disabilities sucks but the truth is everyone is a burden to someone, even able-bodied people, they just have less of an excuse. I wish I could say the right thing since I truly know how sucky it feels (my mom used my surgeries in fights against my dad every time when I was a kid because he could so rarely be there). I wish I didn't feel like a burden and I wish you didn't, that none of us did... the truth is we don't deserve the feeling. We shouldn't have to apologize for existing. Anyways, you really truly matter and you absolutely don't have to apologize for existing or feel a burden. You are wonderful :) (sorry for the dark twisties in the middle... also if this is wrong, sorry)
Raven yes please! I have social anxiety to point where meeting people has actually caused me to break down in tears, and I’ve had people tell me to suck it up or that I’m being a baby :/
I throw up constantly because of my anxiety, and at one point I wouldn't eat anything because I was afraid that if I ate something I would throw it back up. It prevented me from doing so much, I couldn't leave the house for months without being sick, I didn't hang out with friends or my girlfriend at the time, I never ate out in public, and so much more. But one of the hardest things for me was that I'd never known or even heard of anyone else who physically vomitted frequently due to their anxiety, and that made me feel so alone. It made me feel incredibly gross and ugly and unattractive, and also I felt as if people who also have anxiety but have panic attacks rather than sickness didn't understand me. But mainly doctors, bc since I'd only had a few panic attacks in my life they kind of disregarded the constant throwing up. Anyway, sorry for that rant, I must've needed to vent haha
I need these. Maybe with people with different anxiety disorders. I have GAD and it's debilitating to deal with everyday, people need to be more educated on it!
Me to because when I started this job a few years back, and I finally grew the courage to tell them I have a disability, it ended up spreading around and everyone started treating me differently mostly because they didn't believe me
Yes, I am glad that invisible disabilities were represented as well. I have sarcoidosis of the lungs and most people would never know and there is no cure. I have been told that I don't look sick or that I don't look like anything is wrong with me. I have been discriminated against when parking in Disability Parking because I am able bodied. People can be cruel and inconsiderate at times. I spread awareness about my illness whenever I have the opportunity. I also agree with Paul when he said that even people with the same illness/disease don't understand each other because of the unique ways a disease may effect each person. Sarcoidosis is definitely one of those illnesses/diseases; it can affect different or multiple organs in the body and present symptoms that are so similar to other illnesses/diseases. I was diagnosed and treated for pneumonia 3 times before I was tested further and finally properly diagnosed. Paul raised a very important point. Great video Jubilee!

@Jubilee,
Please give the prompter a mic it’s hard to hear her.
Do people of color with different skin tones think the same?
Can you do moms/dads
The fact that the girls disability came from her dad's military service is just so tragic.
Not being covered is worse!
it came from the US spreading agent orange to other countries

More media coverage needs to be given to people with invisible disabilities, especially when they have to disclose their disability in a work environment
Polaroid Android Jeff I agree
agree so much
Yeah, I have cystic fibrosis which is an invisible illness and in my past jobs I’ve always had the question: would you consider yourself to be disabled? When applying. I always put no because I don’t consider myself to be disabled, but then they’re unaware that I have CF, and it’s important that they do know because I can’t be near smoke or certain chemicals/dirty water and mould
I agree! I had a IEP for Autism in Elementary school (I managed to do without now) and some people don't get to have that.

Dude, Andrea's story is mind boggling.
She feels like a burden to her family. Her disability is a consequence of past US gov chemical warfare. When she was born with that disability, US gov should have paid for the family's medical expenses immediately.
I had an uncle die from the effects of agent orange. He got brain cancer and the govt never covered his expenses. Agent Orange was and is truly awful if you research it, and I 10000% agree with your comment that anyone directly impacted whether they were on the frontlines or had a parent on the front lines, NEEDS to get things paid for because its not their fault whatsoever.
And the unfortunate thing was that she mentioned how her family still had to take out so many loans and was left in poverty, so much so that she had to move across the country! The gov really needs to do something about this
Agent Orange is wreaking havoc in Vietnam to this very day, due to genetic mutations that are passed on over generations. Many children end up in children's homes, because parents can't cope . Some areas are still heavily contaminated. It is just sad. It's horrible that there are war victims that haven't even experienced a war in their lifetime. Humans anywhere should think hard about warfare. I am not a big fan about wars at all, but this kind of chemical warfare and things like land mines should have never been used in the first place. That Andrea's family doesn't get help from the government is horrible. They inflicted a whole lot of pain to all of them.
@MurzelMachtMusik yea I partly argree with you. As a Vietnamese myself, I know that our government do support and give many privileges to the veteran and people suffered from the agent orange.
It's really sad for me and my grandpa (who is actually a veteran) knowing the us gov doesn't do the same way.
Word.
“Do all adopted people think the same” would be interesting.
Elaine LovesDancingCats they’re doing it
Ally Lewis yes
Ally Lewis Okay thanks for telling me
I am adopted, I love this idea because i feel as though there is a lot of shame that comes with being adopted. I hate it when people say “haha you’re adopted” and use it as an insult, that’s really annoys me. I would hope that this video is able to show that adopted people can be proud of who they are.
Edit: The haha you’re adopted insult is more directed at people that aren’t actually adopted. It is supposed to make them feel like because of that they aren’t as loved by their parents but in my case my mother couldn’t give birth due to disease but they still wanted a family so they adopted. They adopted internationally so I am of another race then my parents. Restaurants in small towns or when we are traveling abroad have been rude or upright refused us service because we were a multiracial family.
@@GeographyPal i feel the same way
It broke my heart when Paul said he's not going to live very long...
Scandalous peach you think he can just go out and make tens of thousands of dollars to afford a cure, it's pretty insensitive for you to say he should just get the money like its just that easy for him
Scandalous peach Enlighten me please how would he go about making the kind of money he would need for the cure
@Scandalous peach dude are you like 5 or something hahahahaha
Scandalous peach and what type of job do you think he can physically do
Scandalous peach also what type of job do think he could get that would pay enough to afford a cure
“Do all schizophrenics think the same” would help so much to inform people on how it actually is to suffer from this disease.
What I have a psychosis disorder, (not the same an schiz) and bipolar disorder 2. I’d love to hear a dialogue about, “scary” mental disorders
That’s a really good one!! I feel undereducated about schizophrenia, and I think a video with several different people who maybe suffer differently would help to educate a lot of us.
While you wait for them to make a video on that (because I’m pretty sure that they will), there’s a girl named grace niccole who has a youtube channel where she talks about what it’s like to have schizophrenia
It'd be hard to get the schizophrenics there and have them stay long for alot of cases, but would be cool
That would be very cool, actually. Like the comment above said, I feel very sheltered from and uneducated on schizophrenia. It would be neat to see multiple people with that illness all express their experiences differently.
This is the only jubilee episode where I genuinely love everyone
Same lol in almost all of the episodes there's one or two people that are just so annoying but these people are just all amazing
Me too
You should check out "Do all blind people think the same?"!
Cuz there not really any toxic disabled people
Like how there are people In other groups that are shown to be toxic in the media
Yeah like hope they all but least like some of the girls that seemed to click and hope they stay in touch and build a friendship
When cambria started crying about being a burden I started sobbing I wish I could give her a hug ):
I STARTED CRYING TOO
me too
Same

I was sobbing so hard I just wanted to go and hug her omg 😭
Dear those with a disability,
You are not a burden. You are loved. You are worthy.
@@maiqthetruther1039 that went dark, fast.
Tom Bavey you’re stereotyping a large group of people based on 1 person you know? ignorant
Tom Bavey I’m actually sad for you. Not all disabled people are like that. Most of them have the biggest hearts from going through so much.

"If I never experienced depression, I wouldn't be able to help people with depression"
That really hit home
Rayen BEN-AOUN yeah
Rayen BEN-AOUN that just had me thinking should I change my major from radiology to psychology real quick ? 😭
so emotionally deep
@@madcat1612 It depends on your passion man, Psychology is a big thing for me but I myself will go as far into Mathematics as I can.
That is a dangerous thought to think, just because you have went through something like depression doesnt mean you can help them. You can be more empathetic but they should really still seek professional help on top of friend/family support
I really really feel bad for Taylor. She lost her entire career, dreams and goals cuz of her gymnastics accident. Like the world must've turned upside down for her, all of a sudden. Yet she's here being strong. Massive respect!
I was 27 years old when I broke my neck. I had two little boys, a career, I travelled, I was an athlete. It's the deepest loss I've ever experienced
The worst part is its the fault of her coach who bullied her into doing a move she didn't feel safe doing. Idk how I could let go of that type of anger
@@paradiselostinbooks5076 how do you know that this is what happened ?
"Do all people with depression think the same" I think it would be a great look at how not everyone with depression has the same symptoms or feelings about their mental condition
or maybe in general mental illnesses
Charlie I think that may be too broad
Edith yes and yes
@@charliebaby6 There are too many mental illness that are too vastly different from each other. Narrowing it down to depression for one episode would be better.
I would love that or one for people with anxiety disorders. Both are such common issues and it would not only help people who suffer with them understand themselves and feel like they arent alone, but it would help others understand how people are feeling and how they could help
I have felt like a burden
*everyone walks/rolls to agree*
Me: starts crying
I know ;(
It’s hard...
Oh that wording does not sound good
I think feeling like a burden is becoming so much more prevalent as a whole in the society that praises being independent, but I don’t think anyone is ever truly independent. Dependency and burdensome become blurred lines sometime.
But I can agree with that statement at a person who suffers with several disabilities. I think it’s very hard to overcome those feelings when you have to do heavily rely on others on a regular basis. In the years of my worst symptoms, I pushed those feeling off constantly. My mom helped me with everything. She took me to the doctor (sometimes several times/week), walked me to the bathroom when I was dizzy, brought me meals in bed, and even helped make flash cards for school. She held me in the middle of the night as I sobbed through panic attacks. She helped work through my stuff joints and even did my physical therapy exercises with me. It’s just super hard not to feel like a burden when another human does all that for you. I love my mom so much and do not know where I would be without her.
*walks*
when the girl started crying i felt so terrible, like the question about being a burden just made me feel so bad
She made me cry😔
I’m crying thinking about the times I’ve felt like a burden
I dont know of one single disabled person who has not felt like a burden. It just comes with the territory. We never want help but at times are forced to ask. It's because the dream is complete self sufficiency 100% of the time.
Same. My stomach started to feel as if I had a rock in it.
I have a chronic illness (juvenile diabetes) and there are 100% time where I've felt like a burden. Every chronically sick/disabled person has those times. We can be expensive to take care of. We can be a lot of work to take care of. But I feel like that just comes with it, and the people who love you, dont mind at all. They love you the way you are
When the two girls started talking about how guilty they feel and how they feel like a burden i got so sad, because my long term boyfriend is in a wheelchair since he was barely a year old and he is so insecure and his confidence is so low because of him telling himself he is a burden and because of how much help he has needed, him and his family thinking he wouldnt live to 18. It hurts so much to see and have to experience because i love him more than the air i breathe and seeing him feel so bad about himself breaks my heart. He is probably the most physically handsome and beautiful man i've ever met and his personality is so charming, its hard to hear that he thinks he is ugly or that people only compliment him because they sympathize. The pain we go through because of your disabilities is non-existent compared to the pain we see you go through because of what you tell yourself.
I hope you both are doing great.. I'm sending you my love 💕❤️ Be safe
That last sentence you said is... really beautiful. Thanks!

@@jadacunningham2594 100% agree

I really love that they included someone with idiopathic hypersomnia. So many times sleep disorders are not viewed as a true disability. Especially in schools when seeking accommodation. Thanks jubilee for these well crafted videos and honest conversations!
this is one of the best episodes yet. when they started talking about being a burden, my heart broke. really appreciate how this channel gives a platform for these conversations
For real, I love the episodes where I learn alot and see different perspectives the most
Everyone with mental disability have once felt this, trust. We constantly feel like we're not keeping up with the rest of society and always comparing ourselves to others. I think 90% of us have low self confidence.
Same here.
agreed, and these are amazing human beings
Wow, seriously. That was deep.
my little sister is disabled (she has cerebral palsy) and i’ve never thought to myself if she felt like a burden or not. it makes me want to make sure she never feels that way.
I'm in tears, this is exactly what everyone should think
There is also a Netflix show called special and the main character has cerebral palsy in real life I have cp myself I’m 22 years old .
My brother has autism & I have chronic pain. I know I feel like a burden but I’ve never thought if he felt like a burden 😭
doin art i don’t discriminate anyone. Everyone to me is the same whether you’re disabled or not. i’ve lived with my sister my entire life so i have no reason to discriminate her or others. I’ve never thought about it because i was too busy helping her & i don’t see her as a burden. i don’t know if that’s how she feels about herself. thanks for the comment though :)
I too have cerebral palsy.
I personally feel like I get less and less ignorant from this show. I love learning all the different sides and what people think, then using that information into the real world.
Same! This is so educational on a cultural level. You get to see points of view of people whose lives are completely different than yours or than those of people you know. It's truly enlightening, and it helps us all understand and feel empathy for each other.
Erin Gallagher-Hargrove you would love bbc three. it’s a channel here on yt and there’s a series about “what not to say to” (ex what not to say to disabled people) i love it
Erin Gallagher-Hargrove so true
The “I feel like a burden” question broke my heart. As a mom of an autistic child I want to say that to your parents, you aren’t a burden. You’re a blessing just as you are. I wouldn’t change my daughter. She’s perfect as she is.
I can't speak for others but for me autism isn't defeating, I recognize that I don't really connect with people for one reason or another but usually it's an issue of caring for me. I'm perfectly happy by myself for weeks at a time, in my experience being alone isn't so bad as it might seem. You have to be able to entertain yourself though, hobbies. (programming is common for asd and very cool, just saying)
I’m autistic and I also have anxiety and depression and I’ve often felt like a burden to my family. I’m trying to get out of that mind set. Autism makes me who I am and I wouldn’t change that but I’d gladly get rid of the anxiety and depression.
@@connorking984 I strongly agree with you Conner. Because it was supper difficult for me to connect with others not just people who know me, yet other individuals out there who don’t know me, and know them back. Not only through hobbies, and interest to connect with anyone I need to connect with them on psychological, and spiritual level.
oh what i and so many others, as autistic children, would give to have a parent like you. autism isn't something to be cured, nor is it a burden. there are struggles, but no child is a burden. your daughter is very, very lucky
@@connorking984 i wish i felt like you do, my autism diagnosis felt like a death sentence to me because all ive ever wanted is to fit in and have friendships and relationships- to be liked and loved. and i worked soo hard to try to do that but when i was diagnosed i basically realised that the problem was always me and that no matter how hard i try it will never change. I would do anything to not be autistic, the pain and trauma of forever being alone just isnt worth being who i truely am.
The boy who said he didn’t really think about dating since he doesn’t know of he’ll live brok my heart 💔💔💔
“Do all cancer survivors think the same?”
i would love to see their stories and that they think
I've got family that has cancer and some family friends that have cancer. It's really interesting (albeit heartbreaking) to see the different perspectives. I think that would make a great video.
Thank you, i think it is really important to understand where cancer survivors are coming from considering on how tragically they display it on media. I believe a lot of people have assumptions on this concept and stereotypes that need to be broken. I had Ependymoma ( brain cancer ) back in 2011(Am 15 now) and it has really affected my ability going through school especially with physical activity so It would be very nice to see and understand peoples stories.
The Undying Quit, that’s extremely rude.
Ah, finally a good and uplifting suggestion!
👌👌👌
Almost started crying when they all agreed that they think they're a "burden" :'(
meowpower it’s a thing with every disabled and chronically ill person. We wish we didn’t need so much help and as a result of that we hate asking for help
Foirelle like that but different. We have to ask for help for everything. I’m in band and I can’t move my own instrument. I have to ask my band director to help me communicate when I go non verbal. I have to ask for help with the slightest smallest thing. Some people with disabilities literally have to ask for help with being fed, changing medical equipment, popping joints back in place, getting up. I’m sorry but as a disabled person it’s a little insensitive to compare driving needs to being disabled.
Foirelle I understood where you were coming from. It is similar, just so much more frequent and it very quickly reaches a point that’s very difficult to cope with internally - even for the toughest of us.
That said, we all have our obstacles. Mine may be neurological, physical, and emotional; someone else may be dealing with financial and emotional obstacles - with a painful neck from sleeping wrong and a boss that won’t get off their back. With few exceptions, we ALL deal with some killer hardships at one point or another, whatever form those hardships may come in.
And we all find ways to cope in the best ways we know how.
I appreciate the variety of people featured here: visible and invisible disabilities. Those who were born with their conditions, others who developed them later. This is important. No two disabled people face the same challenges or feel the same and it’s important to showcase that.
The lady in the orange jacket has the most pleasant speaking voice and I can’t even point out why.

@Amara Ezeoke You trolling is just sad.
the girl that in the car accident when she was 11 years old, she shouldn't feel like a burden. she was a 11 years old. she wasn't the one driving or on the road by her choice. it is sad she feel like she is a burden to her parents , when she had no choice and this was just some terrible event that accord in her life.
None of them should feel like a burden. They didn’t want to be in this situation. They just want their family and friends to be happy
Are you implying that some/the rest of them did have control and were responsible for their disability(s)?
SellyNue Clearly not. They’re simply pointing out it’s not her fault, not saying it’s someone’s fault they’re disabled. Just because they singled someone out doesn’t meant they don’t feel that way for anyone else.
SellyNue why is there always one of those people that love to twist people’s words around 🙄😒🙄. Did I state that? Did you see anywhere that I wrote that? No. I just feel bad she personally blames herself for uncontrollable situations. I never stated that I think the others disabilities were intentionally 🙄
Rose Jones I would have re-watch this again to make sure , but I believe that was one of the questions asked tho. If they could, would they change .
Started crying when they all went to "agree"/ "strongly agree" when asked if they felt like a burden :( You all are worthy.
H B don’t pander to them, how do you know their all good people
@@Southforthewinter He has no reason to assume they're bad people, either.
And I feel this way as a disabled person. I'm afraid of overheating in public so I don't leave the house and I'm completely dependent on my parents. I have Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (I hate when it's referred to the as the Vampire disease). Besides the lack of hair I look normal on the outside, but I have no sweat glands, lack of teeth, no pigment in my skin. The fear of passing out in public is really overwhelming. But I know that without my parents and brother I would be so lost. and it's really hard to know that I can't go anywhere without them that I can't do anything on my own.
Nah they are burdens but its out if their control. Its hard man.
@Miguel Hernandez Just because you say it in another way it's still the same. And it's RUDE. You try living with it daily then call me a vampire! It's NOTHING to JOKE about!
I’m so glad you included people with invisible disabilities!!

The girl with the sleep disorder (?????)
Ella Neruda tbh I don’t see someone with a sleep disorder as someone disabled. But also I kinda don’t know where else I would place it on a list.
Makeup With Smidge disabilities are something that impact your daily life. it is a disability as it inhibits her from doing certain activities and impacts her daily life..
Makeup With Smidge just because she isn’t limping or isn’t on a cane doesn’t mean she is not disabled. Sleep disorders are in the DSM-V (a manual for diagnosing and labeling disabilities) and they can prevent you from working and thriving in daily life. Sleep affects serotonin and dopamine levels which can cause depression, decreased focus, and mood swings.
I am blind in my right eye & have low vision in my left eye, I've recently had a torn retina in my right eye. It's a disability that goes unnoticed cus physically I appear to be ok & people dont understand why I'm not working or driving they think I'm just being lazy. My father was in the Vietnam war & was exposed to Radiation & Agent Orange which I know has to be responsible for my eye condition.
Please do “do all people with mental illnesses think the same” have bipolar, depression, anxiety, ptsd, mpd, schizophrenia etc
Good idea! I'm not meaning to be 'that person' but MPD is now DID 🙂
I hope they see this and make this idea into a video!
I love mental health!
I would love to see a video like that. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and I feel like people always try to compare disorders they don't understand to disorders that they do. But there is much more to a BPD than that.
YES. As a Bipolar person who struggles with a lot of those issues, I would LOVE to see how other people with such problems think themselves.
lilly y yesssss I have bipolar disorder and the way doctors describe it it’s nothing like the real thing I would say you don’t get mood swings you get stuck on a mood either too depress for moths years and manic for weeks. Also I love being bipolar manic attack mace you psychotic and it’s awesome I am so happy I get to experience my brain in that form I get to experience what only the 2% of us that can.

Edit: Damn thank you for all the support, i expected like 1 or 2 comments not 1.5k likes in a few hours. The fact that so many of you see the bigger picture and show support while only a few dont gives me a tiny sliver of hope for this world. Seriously, thank you.

Yes!
Nah
This would be interesting! It’s always about the person receiving the help so it would be insightful to see the views of the opposite end
Of course they don’t lmao there’s sooo many schools of thought
That would be nice
Interestingly enough, at the prompt “I would change my disability”, all the people who were born with it went to the disagree side, while the people who gained their disability’s later in life went to agree.
I noticed the exact same thing. As someone whos had their disability their entire life, I cannot imagine life without it. Part of me would say yes but part of me would also say no. I think its a really hard question to ask someone whos been born with it.
I found that interesting as well. As a child, I had a friend who was born with severe MD.
We were friends from age 6-12.
Unfortunately, she died before her 13th Bday.
I know her well enough to know she would have definitely have wanted to be healthy instead.
I couldnt tell if the ppl who answered "disagree" were trying to be strong, or truly felt that way.
@@TECHnicallyBlind i gained my disability a few years ago- and i think its because those of us who have had the opportunity to live a non- disabled life know what comes with it and i think theres the part where we grieve what we used to be able to do, where as people who were born disabled were never were able to do certain things
like for us we had our opportunities stripped from us by becoming disabled but for people like you who have had it their whole life were never presented with those opportunities and i think thats the reason we yearn to go back
I had it when I experienced a stroke when I was 5. It does give me more insight but growing I wished I could just be able to perform Normal tasks.
As a small child I used to wish to be "normal" but as I got older and experienced life I felt I probably would not have been the type of person I am. I was broken emotionally by the bullying of childhood so level of empathy and sympathy for others is deeper than most people. I rarely find someone who feels about others as I do.

I think "Do all autistic people think the same" would be interesting.
TotallyGeekage - my family has a saying “if you have met one person with autism, the you’ve met one person with autism”
Autism presents is so many different ways, I would love to see that video!
anon anon it’s just a way of addressing how people with autism are represented in stereotypes; being awkward, unable to talk, unable to have sexual tendencies-things like that nature. I have a cousin with autism, and I used to think everyone was just like him. Turns out, it’s just how they’re raised and how the issues are tackled when they’re young :)
TotallyGeekage No they’d only get ‘high functioning’ people.
GreyFolk why do you think that
Hi just for future reference always say the person before the disability ie. “Do all people with autism think the same”
Off topic but Cambria (the woman with the yellow earrings) is so pretty and has such a lovely speaking voice
And she is also in their plusses size video without a disability
My first thought about Paul is that I LOVE his voice!
@@geoffreykelso7496 why would she be without a disability in the plus sized video? She very much still has her disability, it was not the topic of the video so it did not need to be stated.
@@delaneyhughes3447 her disability in the video was a visible leg injury. She does not have the same walking stick in the plusses size video.
@@geoffreykelso7496 There was nothing said in the video that her disability is a leg injury. Yes she has a cane in the disabolity video, but it does not mean that she needs the cane at all times.

i recently got diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia and it was wild to hear this girl talk about it, i’ve never met anyone else w the diagnosis and it feels so lonely sometimes
Same!! I also have idiopathic hypersomnia. It's so hard to be diagnosed which sucks.
I know this comment is old but I just got diagnosed and was so shocked to stumble on this video
I too was surprised! I may not Idiopathic Hypersomnia, but I do have Narcolepsy which is pretty similar. Sleep disorders involving excessive sleep are rarely talked about
Same! I've been back and forth with diagnosises of idiopathic hypersomnia and Narcolepsy without cataplexy (I think that's type 2?). I had one doctor that was convinced that it was actually sleep apnea, who put me on a CPAP, even though my tests put me out of the apnea range. Unfortunately where I lived the only option for sleep doctors/specialists was also pulmonologists, and I think that was the main issue. I'm super happy with my new doctor, though!
I have chronic insomnia. 5 hours a night average.

For a video about disabilities, this should really have captions.
All videos should have captions. It's something that TH-cam is way behind on compared to other social media.

Also, maybe a description on where people are standing so that blind people can understand their answers.
There is captions. Every video has that option.
Joshua Oana yes but auto generated and almost all of it is off
Cambria has that cry that makes you feel like your heart is getting ripped up. None of them deserve to feel this way. And Andrea saying she knows her dad thinks it’s his fault. I can’t imagine how he feels.

Please do "do all domestic abuse survivors think the same" ...
I’d love this one the women and men that have had abusive partners deserve all the awareness and sympathy they can get.
It would be great, but it means that people must relive the trauma. I don't suggest to led people to experience a secondary victimisation process.
This is a suuuper bad idea for privacy/safety reasons. They wouldn't be able to show the victims faces or else their abusers could potentially find them....
I'm one, I would talk about it! Love the idea
😲 This idea might be even worse than the suicide survivor suggestions!
thank you for this, especially for including people with invisible disabilities too. so many disabled people can feel like our disabilities aren't real because they aren't obvious to those around us. i still often feel like i can't call myself disabled because i'm still able to walk and go about my life in a relatively normal way. i felt like "disabled" wasn't a word that i could use, even though i have several medical problems that prevent me from doing things i would otherwise do. visibility for invisible disabilities is so so important. thank you for giving us that.

Andrea really highlights something that isnt talked about. That the cost of war isnt only death but lifetime issues that could be passed down to the next generation.
Loro sono umano yeah I remember a couple of years ago watching a documentary on Al Jazeera about children in Vietnam being born disfigured due to the chemicals used in the war
Cambria had me in tears when she broke down crying because I can totally relate. It wasn't until about 2 yrs ago that my life drastically changed because of a disability that came from nowhere an "invisible" one. Not only did my life change, but my 6 yr old and my family have had to completely adjust their lives.
Going from being an independent, career having, single mother, to a dang near fully dependent person was the toughest thing for me. I truly feel that I am a burden but I know my family is there for me because they love me and love my daughter. Where would many of us be without people around who truly care!
💕
A video about disability without captions? Auto-generated captions are crap
That's a great point you're raising!
Lmao
Edwina Burroughs usually captions take time. most of the time they come out after the video has been uploaded. if they don’t put it on after a while tho that’d be such a shame

10:39 "I have felt like a burden"
My heart sunk when I saw them all go to the agree side 💔
XDeion100X we feel like one because we have to rely on family and friends to help us with normal everyday things. And they are spending hundreds of money for our disability needs. We feel guilty. I also hate the word 'special' for that exact same reason as that girl did in the video. I don't like being called special. It makes me remember all the cons I hate about my disability.
Really opened my eyes that not only I a disabled person feels this way. Even though I can walk
I went to a family session with my Dad’s disability group & it was so sad how everyone felt like I burden and all we (the supporters) wanted to do was help but sometimes made it worse :(
I think as humans in general even those of us without as disability have felt like a burden. I think communication could help that some
I have a physical disability, autism, & ADHD. I'm glad they covered this. They should make a 2nd part with parents of disabled children.
Katelyn Arkanoff agreed!
Katelyn Arkanoff Agreed, that would be great.
The "I feel like a burden" discussion shattered my heart. 😢 I wish no one ever felt that way and I want to hug everyone in this episode.
I wish disabled people were allowed to have jobs on top of their benefits. Because it’s not enough.
Natasha Velasquez yes! As a disabled who has benefits i can't really do much because living is so expensive especially in California. Half my money goes to our bills and even if I got to keep the other half of my money it's hard to save it because I'd probably spend it on stuff that I buy or I'm forced to pay because my parents think since I got money I should pay for myself. But they don't understand that I want to save it so I can do something with it; GO somewhere, BUY a puppy or something idk but how am I going to afford something if I can't save the money?
and the 'Government' need to see that we can't just live off of 900 dollars each month! Rent cost at least 2500. ALMOST 3000 (that's ridiculous!) NOT INCLUDING other bills and crap. This needs to change for us disabled people who can't even do every day things like normal people such as walking by yourself, driving, going anywhere, have a normal childhood and normal elementary/high school like everyone else but we don't get that.
It's been my dream to travel in a van and just take off and visit places I've never been to.
But I don't think I'll be able to do that anytime soon.
I’m deciding if I want to live on disability benefits or get an online job where I can make my own hours. I wish I could do both. The government needs to realize that disabled people can do some jobs but it’s just not enough money to survive which is WHY we need benefits.
It's not we suddenly are NOT disabled simply because we can work. Disabilities are permanent (in MOST cases) conditions that affect our ability to work. Maybe not making us unable to work, but definitely limits the types of jobs we can do.
y'all need to put AC in that concrete box you film this in

I have a chronic illness that’s labeled as an invisible disability, called POTS and Dysautonomia. I park in handicapped spots with my placard and I get people saying I don’t have the right to park there because I can still walk and stand for short periods of time. It’s so infuriating.
However I am very grateful for my boyfriend who helps me out a lot. If I pass out in public he makes sure people know not to call an ambulance or will help with chest compressions etc. I’m very grateful to have people who are able bodied in my life that help without overstepping and continue to be supportive

Ugh! The “you’re too young to be sick” line. I have heard that so many freakin times. I’ve had a lot of experiences where people ( always the older generation) will either park behind me or pull up beside me in a handicap space to yell at me about how “it’s wrong to take your grandparents handicap sign just so you can park in the front” it’s mine btw.. and how I need to move so that they can park there. This is always when I wasn’t in my chair. I politely explain what an invisible illness and then kindly tell them to stop being ignorant and get out of my way.

@@kikoknees I was just going to say that!

@@abbymay3932 exactly. Its also why some places have parking spaces for pregnant people.
When the woman said other people still wanna argue when we try to teach them about our disabilities, SO TRUE
or tell you what to do or wht you do wrong, without even knowing the illness!
last time I watched this I wasn't disabled, now I am and my perspective is way different on rewatch
What happened? I am genuinely curious.
Hey, I know learning your disabled can be a shock that hurts for years. My mom dropped it in my in third grade when she knew and I was diagnosed for two years but she kept it from me and it hurt. It still hurts and I’m in ninth. I’m here if you need me
Me too
Bless all of their hearts when the “I have felt like a burden” question came up, I felt so bad. Like it’s not their fault..
Piplup 722 We know its not our fault we just feel really bad cause our parents had to deal with a lot of things (coming from my experience) like countless hospital visits,countless surgeries. I even feel like a burden to not only my parents but my friends cause i know they all get stared at as well as i do when they walk next to me , a person with a disability, and that makes me feel horrible that they have to experience that with me. All of that is from my personal experience which is why i get why they went to the agree side.
@@briang1064 I'm so sorry you have to live that way, some people should mind their own business rather than staring at anyone who looks different on the street. I get what you're saying, it's really sad anyone would feel that way, though. I wish you the best, as well as anyone else who has ever felt like a burden (:
I think it’s strange how many people were moved by that part. Like I knew all of them were heading straight to the agree cause it’s just like an inevitable part of being disabled, yknow? Even though it’s not my fault, other people’s lives just would be so much easier if they didn’t have to look after me. I haven’t met a disabled person who hasn’t, at least to an extent, felt like a burden.
As some who has epilepsy, asthma and had open heart surgery, I actually feel like a burden to my family and to those around me. Every time it comes to dealing with money, I feel like it’s my fault and no one else’s. I often think about how my family would be like if I wasn’t born or if I didn’t have any medical issues. Sometimes I want to ask my family if they think I’m a burden.
@@grace906 Oh sweet one it's not your fault! You didn't choose those things! And even if you did, your family chose to have you. If they're supporting you, they're choosing that. Your friends are choosing to be your friends. That's a lot of choosing. For you.
I get it though. I have often felt like a burden. But I think it's a burden that the government requires people to work to be able to live when we have enough food to feed everyone, more houses than homeless people, and could have a society based on cooperation not competition. I think it's a burden we have to pay for healthcare. I think it's a burden we don't get free counseling for...feeling like a burden. And that our families get that help too. I think it's a burden that we live in an ableist society that judges peoples worth by their ability to work in a society that doesn't even accommodate our disabilities, when often it would take such easy changes to make such a difference.
It is so not your fault! And yea, for those who help support disabled people it's can be a tough job. But are all hard things unrewarding?
If anyone acts like you're a burden, psh. They're burdening my heart. Even if people did feel like you were a burden somehow, you get to define your own worth. And everyone's worth is inherent. I've been there, but I promise. These are the voices of an ableist society screaming in your ear. They're not true.
In my opinion, the best episode of this series yet. For some reason, which I can't quite grasp, this gave a more open-minded feeling and made me genuinely interested to hear their stories.
In other videos, I think many people come off as self-defensive when explaining things, which sometimes can't be helped but it's not very inviting to people who aren't in that situation and almost makes you feel unwelcome.
EmmylouBauer I agree with you!
I think it's because they didn't constantly argue when people said things different than them. Really great

It kills me everytime my parents have do go out of their way to help me. Especially because I know it breaks their hearts.
Maxwell Grimsley SAME!!!!!!🤗 I’m often really embarrassed by my invisible illness...
Same !!! I just really hope I can be successful and make it up for them
Because it's easier to say this to others than believe it myself I'll tell you this, YOU ARE WORTHY. Your existence matters and whether you know it or not you've affecting people positively already. You're not a burden to people who love you. No more than anyone else. Having disabilities sucks but the truth is everyone is a burden to someone, even able-bodied people, they just have less of an excuse. I wish I could say the right thing since I truly know how sucky it feels (my mom used my surgeries in fights against my dad every time when I was a kid because he could so rarely be there). I wish I didn't feel like a burden and I wish you didn't, that none of us did... the truth is we don't deserve the feeling. We shouldn't have to apologize for existing. Anyways, you really truly matter and you absolutely don't have to apologize for existing or feel a burden. You are wonderful :)
(sorry for the dark twisties in the middle... also if this is wrong, sorry)

“do all people with anxiety disorder agree” that would be great to watch or “do all people with depression agree”
Raven yes please! I have social anxiety to point where meeting people has actually caused me to break down in tears, and I’ve had people tell me to suck it up or that I’m being a baby :/
Yes yes yes!! I would feel so comforted watching that video
I throw up constantly because of my anxiety, and at one point I wouldn't eat anything because I was afraid that if I ate something I would throw it back up. It prevented me from doing so much, I couldn't leave the house for months without being sick, I didn't hang out with friends or my girlfriend at the time, I never ate out in public, and so much more.
But one of the hardest things for me was that I'd never known or even heard of anyone else who physically vomitted frequently due to their anxiety, and that made me feel so alone. It made me feel incredibly gross and ugly and unattractive, and also I felt as if people who also have anxiety but have panic attacks rather than sickness didn't understand me. But mainly doctors, bc since I'd only had a few panic attacks in my life they kind of disregarded the constant throwing up.
Anyway, sorry for that rant, I must've needed to vent haha
♪ Ebony Rose ♪ i feel that... I get incredibly nauseous to point where I feel like I might vomit, but have never actually thrown up.
I need these. Maybe with people with different anxiety disorders.
I have GAD and it's debilitating to deal with everyday, people need to be more educated on it!
The American healthcare system is existentially terrifying.
That's the price of being the centre of international scientific advancement
@@edwardheaney3641 That's the price of having exploitative insurance systems.
Jacobs Realm ^^
edward heaney It’s just plain old greed.
You just broke AF
I’m glad u guys included ppl with invisible disabilities💖
Me to because when I started this job a few years back, and I finally grew the courage to tell them I have a disability, it ended up spreading around and everyone started treating me differently mostly because they didn't believe me
exactly!! I have an invisible diability and cant carry things with my arms due to my nerves and people are mocking me cause they think Im faking it :(
Me too ☺️💖
Agreed
Yes, I am glad that invisible disabilities were represented as well. I have sarcoidosis of the lungs and most people would never know and there is no cure. I have been told that I don't look sick or that I don't look like anything is wrong with me. I have been discriminated against when parking in Disability Parking because I am able bodied. People can be cruel and inconsiderate at times. I spread awareness about my illness whenever I have the opportunity.
I also agree with Paul when he said that even people with the same illness/disease don't understand each other because of the unique ways a disease may effect each person. Sarcoidosis is definitely one of those illnesses/diseases; it can affect different or multiple organs in the body and present symptoms that are so similar to other illnesses/diseases. I was diagnosed and treated for pneumonia 3 times before I was tested further and finally properly diagnosed. Paul raised a very important point.
Great video Jubilee!
