Kate, you are such a sweet and strong person! I wish you all the love in the world, from the bottom of my heart. I loved when you talked about what you did to make life more meaningful. I have been thinking a lot about what makes life meaningful in the past few months. In the end, all of us should reflect and act about it, since no one knows when our last day is gonna be.

Austin, I hope you know that you have an extraordinary heart & you deserve to exist happily & peacefully. Much love & life to you, friend ❤

Thank how much for sharing about your life, Rickey! I loved hearing about it. It is so interesting that you shared how you are afraid to live alone, and that you actually can’t, so you live with your parents. Then, I also noticed that you seem to elude confidence. I wonder if part of that is due to living with your parents and in a sense always having them in your corner, while many of the others are expected to become independent, and move out on their own. While you don’t have the independence that you desire, you probably always have that “village” that others would like to have; however, they are expected to be independent and at times, they do not feel supported. I can tell by your demeanor and seeming confidence that you were probably raised by supportive parents who encouraged you to do what you love and not to let your “disability” define you.

I have epilepsy too, u def not alone, grand mal, tonic atonic i think, and absence, literally the only reason y I watched this video, gives me some motivation to try and overcome this annoying disorder
As a fellow disabled person, this video made me feel so seen! Even the secrets that I couldn't directly relate to, I still could draw parallels to my own experience. What a lovely group of people, it was a pleasure to laugh and cry with you!
6:55 As someone with a rare genetic condition navigating life with a disability which I never had affect me at all for 20 years of life, I feel this woman so hard. So so hard. It took years to get diagnosed and now that I am there’s no treatment because it’s so rare. My heart breaks for you ❤
I have a rare genetic condition that's incurable and related to that part (and your comment), as well. With genetic disabilities there's the extra trauma of watching your family members suffer from the same condition, knowing you can't do anything to help them and knowing that that will be your future. Anyway, hugs to both of you and anyone going through the same. I hope the next generations won't have to worry about these conditions the same way we do.
I have similar! Gluten intolerance is not or not often enough diagnosed that I suffered many years. In my case it was diagnosed by an accident. In Poland 1% of people has it. I think at least in my situation it could be by genes (and that I was obliviously eating gluten), cuz my aunt and grandma has similar symptoms, but didn't diagnosed to this day. I feel ya all 😢.
17:16 I cried 😭 even though I don't exactly know what it's like to have a disability, I do relate to that feeling of constantly believing that something is wrong with you. I love how they were all there for him 🥺💖 it was super sweet!
Those kids who went to highschool with Austin really missed out on having an amazing friend like him. He was amazing towards everyone during this video ✿ tbh the whole group was awesome
As someone with Aspergers, I completely empathise with the work thing. People treat you differently when they know, treat you like a special case. I don't want that, I wanted to be treated like any other person.
I'm glad they invited someone who's clearly very empathetic and could read the other people well enough to know when they may need comfort. I hate the stereotype that people with ASD don't have (as many) emotions. One reason why I don't want to get diagnosed
@@spulwasser Absolutely. I suppose it just usually comes down to people with ASD expressing emotion in different ways to neurotypicals. A lot of people on the spectrum do care, just some have trouble expressing that care in a way that neurotypicals can understand. Others like the person in the video have less trouble. But all around it is a silly stereotype.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 My condition is called Retinopathy of prematurity. I was born early and given a lot of oxygen, and my eyes weren't developed. There are so many varying degrees of vision loss and blindness, and many different conditions that cause it.
3:45 i dealt with this in the workplace due to my disabilities. my previous boss completely micromanaged me when my diagnosis came in. when i was trialing my medications, there were issues with adapting, so i was let go due to that. On my papers, they put "shortage of work" as my reasoning to be let go. i was an employee for 5+ years there and as soon as my disability was giving me visible struggles, I was tossed away. it destroyed me.
I’m a mother to a severely intellectually disabled preteen. I love him so much, even when he stresses me out with concerns for his safety. My biggest fears as his parent are who will care for him when I’m unable to or gone & how I can financially support him and provide 24/7 care for him simultaneously. There are a programs & support for children with disabilities, but as they become adults, those resources often dwindle and disappear 😢 My oldest is on the autism spectrum but I worry a lot less about him now that he has a best friend. He met another Autistic boy & it has made a huge difference just to have that one kid he knows will always sit with him at lunch, come to his birthday, not get bothered by him going off topic & being awkward. Finding each other has boosted both of their confidence.
As an autistic woman myself, I tend to feel very alone. Like Austin said, feels like casper the ghost. This video made me cry and feel less alone in this world. Thank you, and I hope to one day find a group of friends of people just like me in the real world.
I’m so glad that these beautiful souls could come together to share their experiences. I was crying the whole time . Not out of pity for them , but for their strength and their light despite their circumstances. The fact that most of them didn’t feel worthy of love completely broke me . I can relate in so many ways . I’m glad that this video found me . I hope that more videos like these are uploaded . This was very insightful and heart warming . Thank you all for sharing and representing so many groups . I hope that you all have a life full of love and community 💚✨
So glad asd and bi-polar was mentioned. Austin is great and if you ever see this I cried you moved me with your situation and I’m so glad you’re here🥹. I too noticed how you naturally nurtured others. We have GREAT ability to love deeply and I hope you have many people surrounding&loving you!
I'm taking a class called demystifying disability and I have a paper I'm writing that covers how disabled people's thoughts, opinions and experiences are often ignored. 1 am going to use this video.
Kate is so strong. I’ve known her all growing up. She is the fiercest, most compassionate person I know. It’s so amazing to see how much she fights to be an advocate and a great person in our community. I am so proud of her
I am legally/nearly blind, i cant tell you how often id go into a job interview and as soon as i mention that, you can feel and hear the uninterest.. the judging. Legally they can't say its because of my disability they wont hire me but.. you always know its because of that and it really hurts over and over again. I've lived alone for 8 years, i can do things, i just need a chance. It makes me feel like a burden.
I wish that they hadn’t cut out some of the “secrets”, I noticed that not everyone had theirs kept in. Great video nonetheless but I feel it’s important for everyone to be heard.
Re: the being an unreliable employee, it's such an issue. Employers would benefit greatly if they made more room to be more inclusive and accommodate these people. I get it that it is inconvenient to you to have an employee who is absent a lot. But to disabled people, being excluded over and over again when several of us know what we can contribute in society most of the time is so soul-crushing. We don't want to be absent either. Yes if someone can only attend 90% of the time it means 1 day per two work weeks, you may have to scramble but that little bit of disability element you take on is so meaningful and empowering so that we can contribute our light and nothing compared to the large inconvenience our disabilities or not being employed or being excluded has on us. Even if that statistic is less than 90%, it is still so important and very possible.
This wasn't long enough Jubilee. I love learning more about other people's challenges/perspective. It helps me be a more understanding and compassionate being. Please more of these videos!!!
These seriously warm my heart seeing others relate to others. Keep doing these it's like group therapy. You are all still loveable and worthy. Austin is a truly beautiful human, he comforts everyone else. Had me balling 😭 I hope they all get lunch after this.
Oh my gosh the things I could say about my own experience. Ugh 😣 Much love to all of these people and thank you for letting us in. ❤️ We all share so many similar experiences being disabled. The constant grieving of what could have been. It’s so hard.
when austin spoke. i cried. i cried when everyone comforted them. i’m autistic too, and even though i wasn’t apart of this group, i felt immensely supported.
This was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same. It made me feel less alone in the pain I’ve had to fight with. Relating to so much of these words, it’s difficult to hear it out in the open, but it’s beautiful that strangers can become friends and offer this support. I feel like I need support groups like this!
Omg when Herby turned around and saw that EVERYONE stood up and felt the same as he did, and screamed 'family!' I cried. My heart. I pray all of these people are happy and blesses every single day ❤ 🙏
Sending so much love to everyone involved. Disability comes in all shapes and forms, thank you for showing that! There were a few that I hadn't even heard of. It was so hard to hear how isolating and discriminating the world can be against disabilities. Everyone deserves to be fully loved, cared for, and given opportunities, even if it means they need a little extra help
I relate to Austin so much I was so depressed because of my disability in middle and high school I felt like no one understood me and it was incredibly isolating!! I hope one day for a better world that is accepting of people who have disabilities! This was such a great video!
This is so heavy and so touching. As a disabled person myself, I cried tons and related to so much and absolutely loved all the kindness and compassion and empathy they all showed for each other. Thank you all, everyone in this video for doing this 💜 Much love
I felt so bad watching this episode hearing how much these people struggled. I just wanted to give them all a hug, and I'm autistic and dont like physical touch. Glad Austin was there to do it for me and I feel like we're so similar it's scary. These people deserve the best
This episode made me bawl my eyes out. I am autistic with adhd and ptsd and often feel so isolated and unlovable. The things all of these beautiful people talked about made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you all of you for sharing.
I have Autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, adhd, mild phobia, migrane. My life is too much. I just wish I was normal and live like other people. Everyday is a struggle. I struggle doing lits of things like going out, doing my everyday normal routine or activities, meeting new people.I haven't feel happy in a long time. I just can't relate to all the the other people I feel like i stood out in weird way. I wish life is easier. I don't know how to function. I am not sure about my future. People don't have knowledge about my disabilities and even if they know they look down on me. I don't choose to be born like this. I just wanna live a fulfilled life.
This one of the only Jubilee videos where genuinely every person was so well spoken, compassionate, and someone I could relate to. We desperately need more disabled spaces to share these kind of things as being disabled can be so isolating and exhausting. Thank you everyone in this video for sharing your experiences you made everyone feel less alone.
I've been dealing with these type of secrets all by myself because I have no disabled friends who understand. This video made me cry and made me feel less alone and I wish I could give all of them a hug.
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
Yes, dr.porass. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
I really love this Jubilee, creating communities for those who may not have felt like they've had a community to call theirs. Very niche and connecting, everyone on here was so compassionate and informative. Really heartwarming to see on TH-cam.
What a powerful video. It takes so much guts to stand up in front of the world and admit your fears like this. I am so grateful that I got to see this show of courage, and even more grateful for all of these people to gain friends and to see that they are not alone. Fantastic.
I deeply feel the question about love, I am blind, I have had a few romantic relationships where people have told me they love me and I just couldn’t believe it and pushed them away, I know it’s a mental barrier I need to get over but I just don’t know how
I’m disabled and my friend is also blind and we talk about this. She says she just wants to feel desired like her other friends, and that so often men will talk to her because they feel bad for her. But there has been a time when she described a scenario that sounded like the person really liked her, and she refused to believe it
@@LinseighOfficial Honestly, I think that people need to just take what they can get. According to today's silly rules, it is shameful to for non-disabled to date disabled, because "we" can do "better", but can we? In today's age, if anybody goes on a date, then it's a huge accomplishment. According to the silly rules, the same shame goes in reverse: it' shameful for a disabled person to date somebody just because the abled person feels sympathy. At the end of the day, I'd rather see loyal people get together to support each other, sympathy or not. Honestly, though, most people don't commit out of sympathy, so the issue is moot.
I became a quadriplegic in July 2020 from a diving accident at the age of 19. I struggle with a lot of what was mentioned in this video. It made me feel so seen! to hear that I am not alone in a lot of my struggles is so comforting. Jubilee, thank you for giving a voice to this group of amazing individuals. You have no idea how much it helps people like me. And I can relate to a singer keeping me alive. Luke Combs is that person for me. I listened to his music every day I was in the hospital and continue to every day since coming home. One day I hope to thank him in person for everything he has done for me.
Everybody was so warm, it moved me to tears. Also, as somebody with a schizoaffective disorder and ptsd, I felt really seen and included watching this because mental illness was part of the conversation.
All of us with disabilities go through this. Suicidal thoughts, not feeling loved, anxiety and depression over our diagnosis. This video is so much needed. Do more videos with people who have disabilities. Advocate.
This whole group just made me feel so validated and reminded me I'm not alone. It wasn't so long ago that people with disabilities were treated as complete societal outcasts who had no business leaving their homes and being in public. I'm so thankful for the progress, connection, and community we have now. Thank you all for sharing 🫶
❣ Great Episode❣ I enjoyed all participants. I must say Austin is just lovely he is so caring and kind on each episode I have seen him in- I am so happy he is here! Austin you are an angel on earth!
From what I know about myself, I have no disabilities, but I relate so much to each of them. They have an extreme version of the pain that a lot of people feel 💗
I am disabled as well, I have the same condition as Vivian in the video. Wow, this video was cathartic to watch, I don't have a lot of friends I can relate to or talk to about being disabled, and seeing and hearing people talk about things I also feel gave me comfort.

I have epilepsy too, u def not alone, grand mal, tonic atonic i think, and absence, literally the only reason y I watched this video, gives me some motivation to try and overcome this annoying disorder
I also have anxiety and I know another person, who has autism, feel ya.
@@theanubis8345I have epilepsy too and this video made me feel so seen😊
As a fellow disabled person, this video made me feel so seen! Even the secrets that I couldn't directly relate to, I still could draw parallels to my own experience. What a lovely group of people, it was a pleasure to laugh and cry with you!
Same!
I completely feel that! I'm physically disabled and have mental health problems too
6:55 As someone with a rare genetic condition navigating life with a disability which I never had affect me at all for 20 years of life, I feel this woman so hard. So so hard. It took years to get diagnosed and now that I am there’s no treatment because it’s so rare. My heart breaks for you ❤
I’m sending you so much love and strength, rare diseases are a beast but you aren’t alone. Thank you for hearing my story❤️
@@katesterquell7035 Kate, and all, thanks for sharing!
I have a rare genetic condition that's incurable and related to that part (and your comment), as well. With genetic disabilities there's the extra trauma of watching your family members suffer from the same condition, knowing you can't do anything to help them and knowing that that will be your future. Anyway, hugs to both of you and anyone going through the same. I hope the next generations won't have to worry about these conditions the same way we do.
I have similar! Gluten intolerance is not or not often enough diagnosed that I suffered many years. In my case it was diagnosed by an accident. In Poland 1% of people has it. I think at least in my situation it could be by genes (and that I was obliviously eating gluten), cuz my aunt and grandma has similar symptoms, but didn't diagnosed to this day.
I feel ya all 😢.
Austin deserves everything.

The way they comfort and care for one another really touches me! Beautiful people!!
🥹🥹🥹
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
17:16 I cried 😭 even though I don't exactly know what it's like to have a disability, I do relate to that feeling of constantly believing that something is wrong with you. I love how they were all there for him 🥺💖 it was super sweet!
I think most of us, no matter our condition, feel that way, at least at times.
Those kids who went to highschool with Austin really missed out on having an amazing friend like him. He was amazing towards everyone during this video ✿ tbh the whole group was awesome
As someone with major depressive disorder and psychosis, watching this now I know I am not alone in what I’m going through. I feel less lonely now.
I can relate. I'm crying through this video
@@CindySmith-vd7xh I ended up sobbing watching the video 😢
❤❤❤❤❤
I can relate also because I have Major Depressive Disorder, I’m so glad you feel seen.🙂🖤
@@Livingdeadskeleton much love to you ❤️ we're in this together
As someone with Aspergers, I completely empathise with the work thing. People treat you differently when they know, treat you like a special case. I don't want that, I wanted to be treated like any other person.
Normal people treat each other like crap. Is it better than special treatment?
I'm glad they invited someone who's clearly very empathetic and could read the other people well enough to know when they may need comfort. I hate the stereotype that people with ASD don't have (as many) emotions. One reason why I don't want to get diagnosed
The issue is most people with a disability would be fired if they were ‘treated like any other person’
@@Bringon-dw8dx I suppose? Depends on what disability and the severity of said disability- But I get your point
@@spulwasser Absolutely. I suppose it just usually comes down to people with ASD expressing emotion in different ways to neurotypicals. A lot of people on the spectrum do care, just some have trouble expressing that care in a way that neurotypicals can understand. Others like the person in the video have less trouble. But all around it is a silly stereotype.
The blind girl is so beautiful someone tell her some one said that.❤
I am the blind girl. Thank you. 🩷🤗
I agree
May I ask, how did you go blind?
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 My condition is called Retinopathy of prematurity. I was born early and given a lot of oxygen, and my eyes weren't developed. There are so many varying degrees of vision loss and blindness, and many different conditions that cause it.
@@preciousperezmusica omg you’re sooooo amazing i actually love u 🩵
Nice everyone is supportive of each other and acknowledging each other’s disability
I feel for the blonde lady. She has so much healing to do. She seems so kind and deserves the world ❤
3:45 i dealt with this in the workplace due to my disabilities. my previous boss completely micromanaged me when my diagnosis came in. when i was trialing my medications, there were issues with adapting, so i was let go due to that. On my papers, they put "shortage of work" as my reasoning to be let go. i was an employee for 5+ years there and as soon as my disability was giving me visible struggles, I was tossed away. it destroyed me.
I relate... Not in the means of work, but in social life.
As someone with multiple (invisible) disabilities and is going through the SSDI system rn, I resonate so hard with this. 💜
I’m a mother to a severely intellectually disabled preteen. I love him so much, even when he stresses me out with concerns for his safety. My biggest fears as his parent are who will care for him when I’m unable to or gone & how I can financially support him and provide 24/7 care for him simultaneously.
There are a programs & support for children with disabilities, but as they become adults, those resources often dwindle and disappear 😢
My oldest is on the autism spectrum but I worry a lot less about him now that he has a best friend. He met another Autistic boy & it has made a huge difference just to have that one kid he knows will always sit with him at lunch, come to his birthday, not get bothered by him going off topic & being awkward. Finding each other has boosted both of their confidence.
I'm hard of hearing, where are the captions for people with hearing disabilities? Auto captions are not always accurate.
💀
@@masonfroese2414?
It's actually disgusting that these weren't included on this, of all videos
For this video they are very accurate
y'all just gotta have a problem with everything
Austin, we’re glad you’re here❤️
Thank you.🥹
@@LivingdeadskeletonYou so cool.
From a fellow Melanie fan🫶🏽
@@JordaniRoss thank you!🧚♂️
As an autistic woman myself, I tend to feel very alone. Like Austin said, feels like casper the ghost. This video made me cry and feel less alone in this world. Thank you, and I hope to one day find a group of friends of people just like me in the real world.
I really wanna give each one of them a big hug. My heart goes out to all of them.
It was super brave of Matt to walk up after his secret was the first one read. :)
yeah. matt is so cute, love him ❤️
Austin is a beautiful soul! He so genuine and tuned into others pain and feelings, rushing to comfort everyone else!
🥹🫶
@@LivingdeadskeletonYeah, yeah, you are ^w^ ❤
@@Livingdeadskeleton The world is better with you in it!
Props to everyone who was in this video because it takes a lot of courage
yeahhh
I’m so glad that these beautiful souls could come together to share their experiences. I was crying the whole time . Not out of pity for them , but for their strength and their light despite their circumstances. The fact that most of them didn’t feel worthy of love completely broke me . I can relate in so many ways . I’m glad that this video found me . I hope that more videos like these are uploaded . This was very insightful and heart warming . Thank you all for sharing and representing so many groups . I hope that you all have a life full of love and community 💚✨
I agree!!
So glad asd and bi-polar was mentioned. Austin is great and if you ever see this I cried you moved me with your situation and I’m so glad you’re here🥹. I too noticed how you naturally nurtured others. We have GREAT ability to love deeply and I hope you have many people surrounding&loving you!

I'm taking a class called demystifying disability and I have a paper I'm writing that covers how disabled people's thoughts, opinions and experiences are often ignored. 1 am going to use this video.
You should also check out some non speaking autistic activists, Damon Kirsebom is one that comes to mind
the guy in the elvira shirt going around and hugging people who were sad was so cute
Yep! I’m the mistress of kindness😉
Kate is so strong. I’ve known her all growing up. She is the fiercest, most compassionate person I know. It’s so amazing to see how much she fights to be an advocate and a great person in our community. I am so proud of her
I am legally/nearly blind, i cant tell you how often id go into a job interview and as soon as i mention that, you can feel and hear the uninterest.. the judging. Legally they can't say its because of my disability they wont hire me but.. you always know its because of that and it really hurts over and over again. I've lived alone for 8 years, i can do things, i just need a chance. It makes me feel like a burden.
I wish that they hadn’t cut out some of the “secrets”, I noticed that not everyone had theirs kept in. Great video nonetheless but I feel it’s important for everyone to be heard.
Maybe they shared their secret but wished for them not to be included for wider audience? That is what comes to my mind.
Some of the cut secrets were posted on tiktok and Insta if you’re interested!
Yeah, Ikr?
Re: the being an unreliable employee, it's such an issue. Employers would benefit greatly if they made more room to be more inclusive and accommodate these people. I get it that it is inconvenient to you to have an employee who is absent a lot. But to disabled people, being excluded over and over again when several of us know what we can contribute in society most of the time is so soul-crushing. We don't want to be absent either. Yes if someone can only attend 90% of the time it means 1 day per two work weeks, you may have to scramble but that little bit of disability element you take on is so meaningful and empowering so that we can contribute our light and nothing compared to the large inconvenience our disabilities or not being employed or being excluded has on us. Even if that statistic is less than 90%, it is still so important and very possible.
Alas, they are running a BUSINESS and NOT a charity.
This made me feel less alone. Thank you. ❤
“i’m so glad you’re still here” stoppppp ❤️
you guys really got me with this one **sobbing uncontrollably**
This wasn't long enough Jubilee. I love learning more about other people's challenges/perspective. It helps me be a more understanding and compassionate being. Please more of these videos!!!
These seriously warm my heart seeing others relate to others. Keep doing these it's like group therapy. You are all still loveable and worthy. Austin is a truly beautiful human, he comforts everyone else. Had me balling 😭 I hope they all get lunch after this.
We did!😄
Oh my gosh the things I could say about my own experience. Ugh 😣 Much love to all of these people and thank you for letting us in. ❤️ We all share so many similar experiences being disabled. The constant grieving of what could have been. It’s so hard.
This feels like the kind of group therapy that everybody needs and deserves
As a person with chronic pain and fatigue (fibromyalgia) and degenerative arthritis, thank you for this episode. I’ve experienced most of the prompts…
i lost my mum to bipolar over a year ago at 16, bipolar is such a horrible thing, thank you for including someone with bipolar
when austin spoke. i cried. i cried when everyone comforted them. i’m autistic too, and even though i wasn’t apart of this group, i felt immensely supported.
This was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same. It made me feel less alone in the pain I’ve had to fight with. Relating to so much of these words, it’s difficult to hear it out in the open, but it’s beautiful that strangers can become friends and offer this support. I feel like I need support groups like this!
I'm crying omg, you guys deserve love just like anybody else does! thanks for sharing your stories
Omg when Herby turned around and saw that EVERYONE stood up and felt the same as he did, and screamed 'family!' I cried. My heart. I pray all of these people are happy and blesses every single day ❤ 🙏
Sending so much love to everyone involved. Disability comes in all shapes and forms, thank you for showing that! There were a few that I hadn't even heard of. It was so hard to hear how isolating and discriminating the world can be against disabilities. Everyone deserves to be fully loved, cared for, and given opportunities, even if it means they need a little extra help
Love this 🥹
I agree infinitely!!!!
I relate to Austin so much I was so depressed because of my disability in middle and high school I felt like no one understood me and it was incredibly isolating!! I hope one day for a better world that is accepting of people who have disabilities! This was such a great video!
This is so heavy and so touching. As a disabled person myself, I cried tons and related to so much and absolutely loved all the kindness and compassion and empathy they all showed for each other. Thank you all, everyone in this video for doing this 💜 Much love
WE NEED Melanie Martinez to notice him!
Finally some non toxic and non hateful contant from yall
I felt so bad watching this episode hearing how much these people struggled. I just wanted to give them all a hug, and I'm autistic and dont like physical touch. Glad Austin was there to do it for me and I feel like we're so similar it's scary. These people deserve the best
the way they all comforted and reassured each other was so moving. i commend them for their vulnerability (and relate to a lotttt of what was said)
This episode made me bawl my eyes out. I am autistic with adhd and ptsd and often feel so isolated and unlovable. The things all of these beautiful people talked about made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you all of you for sharing.
I have Autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, adhd, mild phobia, migrane. My life is too much. I just wish I was normal and live like other people. Everyday is a struggle. I struggle doing lits of things like going out, doing my everyday normal routine or activities, meeting new people.I haven't feel happy in a long time. I just can't relate to all the the other people I feel like i stood out in weird way. I wish life is easier. I don't know how to function. I am not sure about my future. People don't have knowledge about my disabilities and even if they know they look down on me. I don't choose to be born like this. I just wanna live a fulfilled life.
As someone who is also disabled, this video was so heartwarming and validating
okay made the mistake of watching this at work i’m holding back tears in this store😭
Literally just balled here at my job had to go to the bathroom
This one of the only Jubilee videos where genuinely every person was so well spoken, compassionate, and someone I could relate to. We desperately need more disabled spaces to share these kind of things as being disabled can be so isolating and exhausting. Thank you everyone in this video for sharing your experiences you made everyone feel less alone.
Jubilee, this was so heartwarming. Thank you for creating these tough conversations.
I've been dealing with these type of secrets all by myself because I have no disabled friends who understand. This video made me cry and made me feel less alone and I wish I could give all of them a hug.
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years.
With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean.
Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episodeenough to start working on my mental health
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need
Yes, dr.porass. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Is he on instagram?
I really love this Jubilee, creating communities for those who may not have felt like they've had a community to call theirs. Very niche and connecting, everyone on here was so compassionate and informative. Really heartwarming to see on TH-cam.
What a powerful video. It takes so much guts to stand up in front of the world and admit your fears like this. I am so grateful that I got to see this show of courage, and even more grateful for all of these people to gain friends and to see that they are not alone. Fantastic.
been feeling soso alone as a disabled person recently and doom spiraling about it so this made me feel better
Austin is so loving towards the others♡
this touched my heart
As a disabled person, this made me feel seen
I deeply feel the question about love, I am blind, I have had a few romantic relationships where people have told me they love me and I just couldn’t believe it and pushed them away, I know it’s a mental barrier I need to get over but I just don’t know how
Everybody is so lonely. Hopefully society can make it work.
I’m disabled and my friend is also blind and we talk about this. She says she just wants to feel desired like her other friends, and that so often men will talk to her because they feel bad for her. But there has been a time when she described a scenario that sounded like the person really liked her, and she refused to believe it
@@LinseighOfficial Honestly, I think that people need to just take what they can get.
According to today's silly rules, it is shameful to for non-disabled to date disabled, because "we" can do "better", but can we? In today's age, if anybody goes on a date, then it's a huge accomplishment.
According to the silly rules, the same shame goes in reverse: it' shameful for a disabled person to date somebody just because the abled person feels sympathy.
At the end of the day, I'd rather see loyal people get together to support each other, sympathy or not.
Honestly, though, most people don't commit out of sympathy, so the issue is moot.
I became a quadriplegic in July 2020 from a diving accident at the age of 19. I struggle with a lot of what was mentioned in this video. It made me feel so seen! to hear that I am not alone in a lot of my struggles is so comforting. Jubilee, thank you for giving a voice to this group of amazing individuals. You have no idea how much it helps people like me. And I can relate to a singer keeping me alive. Luke Combs is that person for me. I listened to his music every day I was in the hospital and continue to every day since coming home. One day I hope to thank him in person for everything he has done for me.
this was so emotional. a lot of relatable confessions.
Everybody was so warm, it moved me to tears. Also, as somebody with a schizoaffective disorder and ptsd, I felt really seen and included watching this because mental illness was part of the conversation.
This episode made me so emotional.
Great job, Jubilee.
All of us with disabilities go through this.
Suicidal thoughts, not feeling loved, anxiety and depression over our diagnosis.
This video is so much needed. Do more videos with people who have disabilities. Advocate.
This whole group just made me feel so validated and reminded me I'm not alone.
It wasn't so long ago that people with disabilities were treated as complete societal outcasts who had no business leaving their homes and being in public.
I'm so thankful for the progress, connection, and community we have now.
Thank you all for sharing 🫶
Would be nice to have an unedited version so we can hear all their experiences and views even if the video got longer because of it
❣ Great Episode❣ I enjoyed all participants. I must say Austin is just lovely he is so caring and kind on each episode I have seen him in- I am so happy he is here! Austin you are an angel on earth!
Absolutely loved this Jubilee, all the people on here were such sweethearts I wish I could give them all a big bear hug
From what I know about myself, I have no disabilities, but I relate so much to each of them. They have an extreme version of the pain that a lot of people feel 💗
Its so courageous of you to identify as someone without a disability
@@nychris2258 ikr
Wow, I loved this group. So open, brave and empathetic. I wish them all the very best
I am disabled as well, I have the same condition as Vivian in the video. Wow, this video was cathartic to watch, I don't have a lot of friends I can relate to or talk to about being disabled, and seeing and hearing people talk about things I also feel gave me comfort.
i love this episodes please keep making them. not only do i learn so much or does these videos normalize so many things, they’re so heart warming ❤❤
This made me cry because I completely understand 😢😔
Beautiful episode. The last comment from Matt really touched my heart.
