Men's mental health is so stigmatized and ignored. Thank you for speaking out, I wish you all the best bro.
You're not alone Tyler. Your family and 163K subscribers are beside you and behind you.
Lost my mom to suicide 9 years ago. I was 27, she was 51. She was a successful person with many friends and a supportive family. She had gotten help several times before, one time she didn't. Get help, for yourself and your loved ones.
Same here man...RIP momma and all the best brother, stay strong and love those close to you!
I work for an ambulance service as an emt and sometimes transport people to psychiatric facilities. Im so glad that these places really do help people. Stay strong man we are all here for you. You inspired me to get a dualsport and start to learn to ride off-road. Thank you.
I’ve been a pastor for 30 years that has struggled with depression. I’ve been on an anti-depression for the last 21 years and I am not ashamed of my struggle, though it has been hard. I share quite often with my congregation about the things I deal with with anxiety and depression, so they’ll know they’re not alone and you don’t have to be ashamed. My prayer are with you. Psalms 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
I have cancer ....... you have helped me with your honesty and courage more than I can repay you ..... Thank you for what you have said ...... G#d Bless you ........... :-)
Tyler , hold tight , my wife has many mental health struggles . Knowing her , loving her has given me a sense of compassion for you and pride for how strong you are to bring this to a masculine dominated channel. The truth is you are helping someone today . Thank you
I’ve been on meds almost 12 months after struggling with my mental health for my entire adult life. I feel as though I finally have a handle on my life after being almost ready to give it up. Have hope my dudes and let’s win the race together ❤. Thank you Tyler
What mental illness have u suffered from your whole life?
God bless you brother.
Remember: the biggest lie you could ever believe, which is straight from the pit of Hell, is that “You are alone.” That little whisper you heard in your head.
You ARE NOT alone.
Much love my brother.
Big goofy hug 🫂
My brother sent me this video immediately after telling me how he was feeling almost 2 weeks ago from when I wrote this comment. 5 days later he was found in the bathroom at 2:30am. I would give anything to be able to talk to him again.
If you or someone else is struggling with this disease, seek help immediately. Don't wait for insurance to give you the go-ahead. I wish we had acted quicker.
Glad u r on the mend! You’re a Winner!
Unfortunately there’s always going to be dark days. It’s when you see them coming that you can pull from the abyss. No one can pull through this alone. Took a long time to realize that and accept it.
I'm super impressed by the bravery on display here.
You're just a man, Tyler. And you're a man who is trying his best. That makes you a Good Man.
Few people realize the most formidable adversary you will ever face is your own mind. It always knows what you are thinking and is one step ahead of you.
You have already proven your strength by not staying silent and seeking help. I personally know how hard that was to do.
Stay strong and stay in the race!
Yeah, totally agree with other commenters: thank you, man, for posting this, and for being so candid. And, thank you to all the thoughtful people commenting here. I’ve had experience in a hospital as well (comical and horrifying moments and all) and I came away from it knowing how important it is that these things are said.
Eyes up, head UP, pin it when you can. You are more than man, you are a messenger. Thank you.
You don't know me, but your openness and leadership on mental health has made a huge impact in my own life.
Struggled for many years. There are reasons behind it but this is my thing to deal with. Occasionally I get a good day, that is what I live for. My younger sister chose a different path. At least she suffers no more. Life is precious. Hang on to it.
Take some time. Put the tech away for a week. Take a big break and reflect. Rest. Family first best wishes.
Mental illness is a symptom of paying close attention. It makes you stronger & smarter. Can't think of a better way to mental strength &
Stability than offroad moto. Kind of like a form of offroad outward bound. We all love ya. 🚵♂️
Yup. Been there 3 times. Good people (staff, and patients).
God sometimes allows this kind of suffering, for the sake of reflection, etc.
Stay strong. The best captains aren't formed on calm waters. ;)
Weirdly TH-cam shows me almost only your mental health vids! I keep having to reclick the notify all, but I’m glad they feed me your mental health videos and I’m glad you make them. It sucks that you’re going through all this, but I’m so glad you got help and keep sharing these videos with us. It’s so meaningful. Keep up the good work man you’re an inspiration in both riding, and mental health! ❤
I’m so glad you had a positive experience at the hospital. Unfortunately there are many many places where the ‘psych ward’ is an awful, traumatic place. It sounds like you would be an amazing peer worker. I work in the lived experience field and we need more people talking and normalising hardship. It’s not shameful, it’s not a failure, it’s human. We are all broken, which is beautiful in a way because everyone knows what it’s like to hurt. Keep fighting the good fight my dude, keep posting about mental health.
Brother just remember you are not alone. You have your immediate family and you have us your wider family, your well wishers.
All you have to do to win is rise each time you fall... wrecked me.
thank you i hope to find strength
Well, that escalated quickly! My wife and I can write a book on mental health and the fact that she is still alive and thriving given her struggles is a miracle. She won't quit. We have embraced professional help throughout our lives and marriage and even for our children. We are not meant to go it alone and we do not have all of the answers. This is truly a case where weakness is strength. Don't quit Chris. Even if help is routine for the rest of your life. It's ok to get it. We still do at times as well. Thanks you for the courage to speak out and help others find their courage too. I'm happy to see pursue your PhD to help others. This is what winning is about in the end...helping the people around you get to the finish.
Be well. Like you say, it isn’t about the falling, it’s about the getting up. The act of getting up is real heroism, heroism for which the medal is knowing you did it. And it’s no less heroic the twentieth time than the first. Sending my love.
Hi. Feel your pain. Best thing I've ever done was join a gym 6 months ago. Get the body fit and the mind will follow. Government should be handing out free gym memberships. Take it easy on yourself.
Nope the Govt gives out cheap drugs instead ...But the gyms a great idea though
Many of us have had emotional stress during our life. In my case I used alcohol to self medicate. Needless to say, this did not take me to good places. My message to you is that was 40 years ago. I recovered and have had a wonderful life since that time. Working on our issues is not an easy thing, but well worth the effort.
Don't lose hope, and try to stay grateful. Looking back at my 69 years of life, every time that I was happy it was because I was grateful for something. Be it a new motorcycle, car, girlfriend, wife, or whatever. When the gratitude left, so went the happiness.
I doubt that anyone who is depressed is thinking man I got it made. We like to spend our time looking at what we don't have and think that our happiness is contingent on getting something new. What we are saying is I refuse to be happy until I get what I want. One can be happy while they wait for the things that they desire.
My heart goes out to you, and I wish you inner peace. There is no shame in needing help, only shame is in refusing it.
Any decent person watching the trajectory of today's society feels the weight of what may come. You have the guts to wear your heart on your sleeve and not hide behind a fake veil of bravado. Cheers to you, and get back up Tyler.
I'm going to watch the video after I type this. Because mental health is so badly stigmatized and misunderstood, misrepresented by our culture as a disability ( and thus something to feared, poked fun at or even just simply makes people put those of us that are afflicted by mental health cycles different to the "normal people " into a sub category of human)
Hang in there on the tough days. So far you have survived every one of them to date. No matter how tough they have been. That's 100% pass rate😊.
Those of us that deal with severely debilitating mental health cycles understand this all to well. Some days just suck for us. And some days are utterly beyond incredibly amazing!
Now to sit down and watch your honesty. Will check in to the comments afterwards again.
Hang in there. ❤
Edited because my spellkng is badderer
You're a good guy, don't ever think you're alone cause you're not.
This is a very good and courageous video. Nobody should be ashamed to seek help for mental health issues.
A persons mental health can suffer from any number of different scenarios.
If you have any concerns about someone you know who might be suffering from mental health issues please encourage them to seek assistance or get help for them. 👍
Interesting timing on this video for me personally. I just lost a riding buddy to suicide last Sunday. I moved away and had not seem him for the past year and he apparently spiraled down quickly. Left wife and daughter behind... He must have been in such a bad place to see suicide was his only way out. Very nice you have shared your experience and hope it helps someone else through their own crisis. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.
Not all heroes wear capes... some have a grey hoody and ride dirtbikes...
You really helped ME get through a depression. So if you are ever in that dark place again. Think of me and all the others you affected positively with your video's and honest talks.
Here is a man who will be a positive influence for others in many ways. We subscribers should support him and help empower him in his endeavors. So......there.
Man, you are NOT alone, and it is so appreciated that you are talking about mens mental health, america has so stigmatized it that we need to be strong, and being strong means we dont talk about our struggles, or our pain, because that isnt "manly"..... thank you soooooo much for talking about it... you SHOULD BE PROUD that you are getting the help you need, and talking about it instead of hiding it like society has conditioned men to think they need to do... praying for you brother, get well!!!
You’re a very brave person and I admire you’re courage and vulnerability
This is a nice video to see. I work on an ambulance and all we do is B med calls. I take patients from ER to Psych facilities. Most of my patients are in the same place you were mentally. I see hundreds of them a year, and thats just me. There are so many other crews who are all working all year long. There are so many people going through this. Sometimes it wears on me because I feel like im trying to stop a waterfall with my hands. You are absolutely right that it gets busier during the holidays. Epically for our queer youth, its a hard time of year and I respect you for coming onto your TH-cam and speaking up and bringing awareness. Its really hard to see people like you or seeing queer children, anyone feeling like the world would be better without them. Meeting some of these people is the best experiences ive ever had. Everyone is always worth knowing. Im glad you're still around. Im proud of you for sharing your experience because it is very personal and raw. Keep your head up, I hope to see you working in the industry in the future. Its a good place to do good! I wanna figure out going to one of your rallies one time! Good video man.
Man, you're tougher and braver than most people I know, myself included. The world needs more people like you. God does his work in this world through people. And if you read the Bible, he always chooses the humble and fallen to do his work, so His Glory shines through and not the pride of man.
The world can be a harsh place. My tears don't help you, but i wish you strength when you don't feel any and courage in the face of fear
Tyler, you are awesome. To put out material like you just did is honest and brave! I am very familiar with what your episodes are like. I respect you and am very proud of you.
With deepest respect,
Joel J. Aimone, DDS (retired United States Public Health Service, CAPT)
You are a brave man and not alone. Depression has ruined my life, do everything you can to fight it.
Many of us know exactly what you’re going through. I’ve gone through some incredibly dark times depression wise, even when everything in my life was going absolutely perfect and looking from the outside you would think I had everything.
You know this, but people are here for you and love you dearly. Being open and honest and talking about it is definitely a step in the right direction. Glad you’re shedding light on the topic.
Again, remember. People love you, and there a phone call away in the dark times. Depression is temporary
Many people, especially us men, find this a difficult subject to discuss openly. Thankfully, it's no longer considered a weakness. I appreciate you having the courage to speak out. As you said this is a difficult time of year for mamy of us, myself included. Without my bike over the past few years I'd have been lost. God bless you & your family.
Thank you for sharing your story. Men in our society are expected to be strong and show no weakness. They are taught tears are not for men and stoicism is the desired traight. I am a rider also.
Thanks for speaking out publicly about mental health. Men in particular suffer silently and yet help is out there. Hang in there. All your subscribers are behind you!
Hey Tyler! I''ve been watching your videos a long time, just when I bought a KLR, sold it, but still watch your videos, they are inspiring. Everyone has his ups and downs. My downs were when I've understood that most of the people that called themselves friends just used me for their good, and appeared only when they needed something. I have moved on away from that, then the GoVid crap came, and even more people had shown what they really are...Then some wierd things happened - I''ve found a dead man in the woods, and overlooked all that is happening around me. Now I have found solitude, I have a few, but very good friends with which we share same interests, I help now people who really are in their downs. I help people who don''t have a house..Afret i've seen a dead man who froze to death in a tent because he had nowhere to live, I understood that all of our problems are just crap...
That would be a wake up call concerning what's important in life.
Much love and respect man. I love and appreciate you. Years ago, during the worst time of my life, you messaged me back on this channel. It saved me and gave me hope. Hope is undervalued. Thank you.
Tyler, you are an inspiration to us all! Your honesty and resilience are amazing!
I am dealing with cancer, and it has been physically and emotionally challenging.
We all have our own virus.
I wish you the best when working through yours, I know you will succeed!
best wishes Gen X 👍🏻
Glad to see you back.
You're not alone mate.
The most unhelpful thing to say is stop feeling bad, for feeling bad. But... Stop feeling bad for feeling bad. It is what it is and you getting help is a million times better than not. I'm only some random internet dude, but I love you, man. Keep working and stay on your meds. The world is a better place for all of us with you in it... Even for you.
Thank God you are alive! I learned to pray a long time ago. Have never felt alone. Always felt loved. Learn to pray!
Glad you are getting the help you need, I was in a rough chapter for the last 2 years and it literally took me going to desert races and saying if I can finish this race I can survive this period of my life. I just threw on worship music and just turn to God because I could not do it on my own. So thankful I had my family and Jesus to lean into if I had moved away to college that year, I would have probably made it through but it would be much worse. Now on the otherside after just finishing that chapter, man I fell down so many times and every time it was like I was crashing in a race, I would pick up my bike, get on and see how far I would go. Glad you are getting help. Jesus be with you.
Tyler,….. You keep fighting the good fight, don’t give in… don’t give up… you are doing the right thing by bringing awareness to men’s mental health & you are honest by being yourself & being vulnerable & in that you are showing the truth…. It is not easy my brother but I ask keep doing what you are doing,… life is that journey, it’s a dual sport/adventure ride… sometimes you fall & get hurt, sometimes your bike breaks down…and other times you are in harmony with your bike seeing beautiful landscapes & terrain in bliss‼️…. Much ❤ Always Tyler & live to ride another day because You are worth it💯‼️‼️
As James Taylor says in his famous song 'You've Got a Friend'. In fact you've got at least 163,000 of them. Keep getting up, Tyler.❤
Hey Tyler... I'm glad you're still with us. Ending it is never the answer. You have to outlive your enemies!
I feel I had to write something. I want to tell you that what you said moved me. It really did! I've been going through depression for the last five years because of deep losses and many different things, and I was starting to feel a bit better these last six months, and suddenly, I'm feeling myself sliding back down again. What you said resonates with me so much, and I want you to know it helped. It's not easy, but we must keep standing up and pushing forward.
Brother you got this! You do you! Whatever makes you whole, don't pay attention to perspectives that inflict pain in your life. Do the things that make you fulfill your purpose and that support your role as a husband and father. Take care of you and your family!
Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That is called purpose. Never give in. Never give up.
You are a good man! I'm a long time listener. I'm going to take the extra 15 seconds and do what I can to help you out.
From Omaha
I have to say, that it is SO HARD to imagine a guy with so much going for one's self like yourself can suffer depression so strongly as to consider suicide. I suppose that's why this issue doesn't get the attention it requires. The potholes in life can look like black holes. I hope you continue to seek help and support when you need it, because there are so many people who would miss your presence in the world.
Mate I appreciate your intentions are all good but just as an FYI, depression often has absolutely nothing to do with what someone has “going on in their lives” regardless of how positive or negative. I promise I’m not hating on your comment but its just worth bearing in mind that when someone is in the depths of depression the absolute last thing they need is to be told “you shouldn’t feel this way because of x,y,z”. Truth is, depression can be caused by all kinds of things like physical conditions, gut bacteria, illness, injury, brain chemistry …many of these things have nothing to do with external factors in peoples lives. peace ✌️
@@cooganbeggs4942I see your point, but I don't believe that's what was said. What was said, as I interpret it, is that those of us who have not experienced depression have a hard time reconciling the disease with the circumstances of a person's life, which means it's challenging to recognize when someone may need help. It also means that we sympathize even more once we are aware someone is struggling specifically because it's a surprise to us. I don't believe anyone is suggesting that a person whose life seems good from the outside should not or cannot become depressed. We are just trying to be supportive, and expressions of shock are one way that comes out of us.
@@cooganbeggs4942 Thanks for the insight.
@@clintbuhs7708 Yes, that's precisely what I meant. My wife suffers from depression, and I have a hard time understanding it.
It takes a strong man to be vulnerable publicly. Thanks for sharing sir!
I'm a corrections officer that occasionally works on the critical mental health tier. To me its not that different than any other illness, if you don't handle it you might die. I'm glad you had a good week, hopefully you find a group you can attend more regularly.
I have not heard the virus reference before, but man that suits it. You're not wrong at all. On any of it. I didn't get an alert that this video was up. I did get the last one on the Kove damage... and found this rolling down the subscription list. I know you've had your ups and downs. Each time is a struggle that feels like you can't win. So happy that you once again triumphed over the virus that lingers. Heal up, man. You've got a great wife behind you. Hope all else is as good as it can be for you guys.
You are absolutely not alone. Never. Your voice matters. You matter. Thank you for your courage and your big dorky heart of gold.
Struggle bus sucks! Praying for you bro!
Thank you for being willing to talk so publicly about these challenges. This is how we start to change how people view mental health, and that seeking treatment is normal and good.
Hang in there Tyler I know what you’re going through I’ve battled with it myself. For some people it’s a condition that’s always there although it goes dormant when treated and you think you’re never going to get it again because you attribute it to something external and so you stop taking the necessary meds to keep it at bay. Then something happens like your crash that triggers it and you’re afflicted again. You know this is a transient condition you’ll be out of it in time. It is slow to recover but with proper treatment you will be back to normal by next riding season for sure.
Thanks for sharing, my partner has been to the psych ward and I also deal with my own stuff, so thanks for sharing, it really helps when you see it on a channel that is not about mental health. That's when you see it's in all of us and we shouldn't have to hide it.
Beautiful poem. I need to share it with those around me. Keep up the fight and have hope! We love you! ❤
Tyler I am very proud of you also. You're an incredible example of perseverance for your self and caring for others. Much Love!
How do I express my deep appreciation and love for you Tyler? I just don’t know what to say.
Came for your awesome off-road content. Stayed for this.
Here is what worked for me: Don't FIGHT your illness. Learn to accept it - your body, your mind...they want you to realise that something is really out of balance.
Treat yourself right, as a friend would. That will be hard, sometimes very hard. Do it because you know deeeeeeeep inside that you are worth it.
You, my friend, are whole. You are enough. You are carrying very heavy luggage with you, that slows you down, pulls you down and sometimes under.
The best you can do is to identify your luggage. To realise, bit by bit, what really holds you down.
And then, go riiiiiight through that. Feel it. Yes, that'll sometimes feel like hell and beyond. But you've been there already, unwillingly. Now go there, * intentionally *.
This is how I healed most of my trauma and some depression.
What helped a lot, too:
1. Learn how meditate properly.
2. Apply Wim Hof Cold-Exposure and Breathwork on a regular basis (After learning how to properly)
And for the sake of all thats dear and love to you, get yourself regular sessions with a trained professional. If you do this, there is pracically no chance you won't get better. Much love, you already have what it takes to make progress. Let's do that!
Tyler, you are setting a great example and doing real good by sharing this. I wish you the best.
Very strong! Thank you Tyler! ❤
Dude, you have no clue to how many people you are a winner ! at least 163k people care for you ! warm regards from Norway :)
You are not alone and thank you for speaking out I have the same struggles, god bless you my friend keep on keeping on stay strong
Thank you for speaking out. Very brave of you and takes a huge amount of strength. I’ve been there my friend. So great you found help. We as men seemed to be programmed to do it alone. Guilty. Really huge step and you are much braver than I in speaking you. Hope to cross paths with ya in the future!!
Every man should watch this video.
Thanks for sharing, my friend. Keep going.
Tyler, I found your page a few years ago while I was searching for my next bike , and I still haven't found the one I am seeking after many attempts. I enjoy ALL of your videos and appreciate the honesty that you put out there with your struggles on your page. I have found you as very inspiring and am sure that others have as well because you are not afraid to share what you are going through that many others do as well.. Keep up the good work, and I hope once I get my next bike, I plan to come down from Ogden to attend one of your rallies. Keep your positivity, and I hope to see you and meet you next year.
I freaking love you, brother! ❤ Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping to remove the stigma that often goes along with depression and mental health. You are truly amazing and a great example of service, humility, and love.
I’ve been watching your videos, roughly around seven years or more.
You’ve been very inspiring to me I’ve been able to be closer to my kids from dirt biking to hanging out with them. I fell back in love with dirt bikes after watching your channel over seven years or so . I’ve had a few years now where I haven’t been riding, but I’m looking at buying another dirtbike and going out with my kids even now that they’re older.
I know life has some tough turns and curves. In it. But keep pushing through you’re very awesome and it sounds like you have an awesome family that supports you. Look forward to seeing more videos when you get better.
But keep doing what you do best
I don't have something in my eye. You've got something in your eye!
Tyler, if I could hug you right now I would. You are an inspiration. Thank you so much for having the courage to talk about your situation, when so many are afraid to do so.
Much love and best wishes for you and your loved ones.💖💖
I'm praying for you brother 🙏. I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with depression issues and know that a man of your positive mindset and character, you can and will overcome this difficult time in your life.
It was your TH-cam video l came across in early 2017 that got me to look out to social media to find riding buddies through social media. I have such a story that led me to St George for the first time in 2015 and eventually buy a house down the road from you in Mesquite. (With the exception of my military times, my whole life has been spent in the NY/NJ area).
God bless you my friend and I hope to meet you one day 🙏.
Love you brother. Stay with us.
You are not alone. Thank you for sharing. Your story isn’t over yet. Much love and respect 💜🩵
Tough video sir. Had me goin a couple times. Could barely get through the poem. I’ve been that way a couple times in my life. Once for sure. In the chasm. Hang in there. Thanks for sharing. Very brave. We are pulling for you. We all want you to be here. So glad you went in. Some ppl won’t. Keep it up. Glad it was a good experience. And you aren’t alone sir..!!
Big Hugs. I respect and appreciate you and all your content. Much love. We are all rooting for you.
Keep getting up Tyler!
You make this world a better place, never forget that!!
Been there twice. Almost went back a few months ago. It gets better, but also get worse. Life’s a roller coaster.
Wellbutrin has been helping lately.
Hey Tyler, just wanted to say thanks for your pneumonic videos. You’ve been a massive influence in teaching geography to my kids as well as me!
Much love, brother!! Thanks for sharing the struggle. This was a nice kick in the pants to get out of the house and stop being a hermit today.
