So proud of this guy, one of our national treasures. He has a perfect combination of honesty and intellect. We could do with more like him working in the field of mental health. It's great to have him as an advocate for so many people who are suffering to get through each day.
He is so amazing Ireland you should be proud of such an open, understanding and articulate lad with a bag in his head. He’s helped me massively 👍🏻
He's so smart! Wish we had people like that in my country.
Where you from?
I agree 😊
He’s a very clever bloke and he has what is quite a stoic view on life. We need more people like him out there and more action and funding for mental health care. It’s vital for society to move forward in a healthy worthwhile way.
Bless yah Blindboy. I myself suffer from schizophrenia and also bipolar even suicidal. These are great words and awesome work for advocating about mental illness. I carry around a witch doll on my backpack and it tells who I'm for people around me to know "I have mental illness and she cheers me up." when people ask. Not just some guy carrying a witch on his backpack. Thank you for this upload.
Fair play to you bud. The Mental health crisis has been getting so big. The funding getting cut.The circulation of mental health / homelessness /addiction /crime/drugs.
Love this guy!
Such a great speaker.
So important to talk about!
He's short talk has made the world a better place. Every one in the world should hear this. Because whether or not you're a councillor to someone, a mate a stranger whoever. Be kind but be helpful
Well done.. always speaks from the heart you know he genuinely cares for mental in this country
Very moved by your talk.
Wish you luck in your endeavours.
Mental health during lockdown is so tough
Well said blindboy next president
Brilliant stuff.
Rubberbandits are absolutely fucking hilarious absurdists, but they're very, very clever lads too...
That's handy to know. My boiler's on the blink.
'Gas cuntism' is a term invented by the rubberbandits and it's exactly what you described. Hilarious absurdity but with a deeper meaning.
Aha! I did not know that. I thought you were an anti-fan calling them gas sniffers! My misunderstanding...
Christ - the baggy pricks are even more clever than I thought!
Yes. I highly recommend 'The Blindboy podcast' if you don't already listen to it. Only been going for 6 weeks but it's great.
Cheers, man. I hadn't heard of it, but I'll definitely be looking that up.
Thank you - sound words.
Agreed with everything he said
I love you for this speech. Take that mask off now. Nuff Love 4 U!!! 👼🌸👼🌸👼🌸👼💯👍🦋
This man
Did you ever get weak from anxiety?
Have never heard sight or sound of him. But he,s got the most incredible insight on life However is the plastic bag recyclable? Tongue in cheek eh
The bag is from Swords Shopping Centre who were getting rid of something like 10,000 single use plastic bags, and so he took them instead. So at least they're getting a use instead of just being dumped
He’s actually got a degree in this
Love the content, but are they on a pirate ship?
A lot of what he speaks about here around suffering is Buddhist.
As someone who has overcome depression, alcoholism and drug addiction, I can suggest to Mr. Blindboy that he should stop smoking so much cannabis and he should see an improvement in his mental faculties and wellbeing,
He’s talked about relationship between substance and mental health on his podcast
Cannabis, unfortunately, is a strange one. I suffer from severe anxiety and clinical depression, but daily use of marijuana has hugely reduced my symptoms, and allows me to think and concentrate on specifics(I can even get through a whole film now without losing the plot), something that anxiety robbed me of. It is, by no means, a “one size fits all” solution. But, it’s not helpful to write it off as a cause of the problem at hand(causality, perhaps?). One of my brothers is a prick when he drinks alcohol, so he stopped drinking. Some people just shouldn’t do certain things. The fact that weed is illegal really messes with peoples feelings and opinions. As long as you’re sound and you don’t encroach on anyone else’s personality and well-being, do you! Always be yourself, and do what you need to do for you, but never at the expense of others or their safety and well-being.
@@cozkerrigan6654 Hear, hear! - beautifully put. I have a friend who uses cannabis for the same reasons as you. Seems to do him a world of good.
@@cozkerrigan6654 Kudos my friend, you've hit my nail full on the head. I've PTSD and found it lifts me up to at least try and do something. Hard to explain..calming but doing something that gives me drive. Anyway, it enthuses me,but it's not for everyone. If we all understand that. Where's the problem 🤷♂️☘
if you need a bag on your head to get people to listen to you, i'd say that's a sad reflection on your ability to get your message across
меломан he’s saving lives
he is in me balls
меломан if you need to criticise a person who's trying their hardest to help people realise a growing and very serious crisis in Ireland solely on their appearance, I'd say that's a very sad reflection on your mental health in general. Your jealousy is clouding your view of the bigger picture.
i'm jealous of a clown with a bag on his head. are u for real? fuck me pink!
меломан Yes mate, you're jealous of a clown with a bag on his head. Yurt.
