Myself, being a suicide survivor, surviving a traumatic brain injury that took my vision; as well as being someone with complex post traumatic stress disorder, and a history of mental illness, this is me sharing myself. Me sharing my journeys and experiences over the years; my struggles, and how throughout the right treatment plan, with the right medications and therapy, I was able to bring awareness to my mental illness so I can be able to manage and treat them. This is me sharing my history, so anyone else struggling can know that they’re not the only one, and that if I can do this, and be happy and prosperous and manage things, anyone can. I’m sharing my resources and my tools, that have helped me manage my newly acquired loss of vision with my mental illness as well as sharing my history and passion, and love for music and the arts.
Wonderful!!! my feet were tapping, and head bobbing at my desk at work- LOL. Thank you for sharing- as always, your vids are a highlight of my day- keep it sexy always, especially those sideburns- Ringo got nothin' on you 🙃
@@denisegrant5150 and I am honored that my videos helped make your day, and that you were tapping to my rhythm!! Because your comments always make my day and make me all smiles
As always, your infectious positivity and "joie de vivre" makes me take pause to thankfully appreciate my life and how precious that life is. Always "keep it sexy" Mark 🙂
And that's exactly why I love doing this! So people can be able to appreciate themselves and know how significant and precious their lives are. I'm so glad that you value yourself so much!
The only Daydream worth insisting on is Mariah Carey's album 😂 and funnily enough the opening track is the hit Fantasy! But outside of that, I don't recommend doing too much rumination either! I agree that those toughts are only helpful if we manage to turn them into into something healthy in the practical, real life dimension!
So true. Daydreaming and evasion are only useful for a couple of minutes as a source of inspiration!... they're definitely the comfort holes in wish we should be stuck!
Mark, your self awareness is on a level that I have never seen. Thank you for your dedication to sharing your struggles on this platform- I'm sure you are reaching people who are having similar struggles. Your energy and passion to share and help is infectious. Please keep it going, as mental health struggles are so pervasive in our society- you are truly inspiring. Peace
@@denisegrant5150 and thank you so much! I'm glad I can inspire! And yes, this is something I will always keep doing and never stop. because mental health is very real. It's becoming an epidemic, a lot of people need it. And I'm so glad it can be infectious, so people are willing to talk about things and not perpetuate the stigma. And as someone that was in the dark for so long myself, am so grateful for how self-aware I became, and I love to let people know it's a possibility. Thank you so much for your support and watching
My cat's name is Capitán!!! Is very nice to hear from you again, brother. ❤ I found your channel a long time ago after a video from SBSK. I found a lot of hope in your story. I came here to say that I haven't stopped learning and fighting the good fight. I still struggle, of course, but I been finding a lot of clarity and perseverance. This is thanks to you as well. I believe your story changed my life and gave me strength that I'm still yet to find on myself, but I know I will. I'm still here brother, and I will make the best of it. 🫡 ❤ Thank you.
@@TheBrownBoy100 and you're so welcome! I'm glad you did find my channel and are still following. And thanks for reaching out. Because I'm really grateful you're still here and still fighting! Because that's why I like to share my story. To let people know, no matter the struggles they're always is Hope. And I'm so glad you know you will find that strength on your own. And that's so awesome that your cats name is Capitan!
@@olipatan and thank you. Didn't know I could sing and play until I started playing for that blues band a couple years ago; they heard me singing along so they gave me a mic. And I can only sing and play drums the same time. I cannot play guitar and sing at the same time for the life of me
@@sonnymoss329 so glad I could help! And I've been going through some of this stuff myself too. That's why sometimes my videos are just trying to remind myself of the things that I need to do. Ha ha
I have such anxiety that have panic attacks every day. I am disabled with 12 years of tremendes trauma. I am 44 dont feel my age. Scared to live alone and getting old. I cant control my anxiety. I go to therapy. I am waking in the middle of night and dont know what to do. Mornings are so hard and i just cant stand it any more.
@@mitch5222 and I'm glad you're going to therapy. But I'm sorry your anxiety is still that bad and waking you in the night. Have you ever considered seeing a psychiatrist and getting medication's for your anxiety?
@@markehlert979 yes i did but i am very sensitive to meds and it gave me horrible side effects. I am also disabled with lots of pain and i am afraid of this symtoms. And everybody tells me be a man and not to be afraid of pain.
@@cessationofconsumerism hell yeah I'm good at making my fans happy! Ha ha! And I just love playing. There's gonna be a lot more drum video coming. I'll always keep playing!
@@isthisatitleforayoutubecha3035 thank you. Love that electric drum set for practice purposes and for living in an apartment. I rarely get to play my real drum set anymore
