Van Life Wisdom Mental Health While Living in a Van

In todays video I tell my own story of struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Sometimes life can throw things at us that we can’t seem to cope with, and at our lowest points escaping through suicide can seem like our only hope. In my moment of extreme need I turned to a Higher Power and found hope and a way forward there. For years i asked myself every day, “Why should I be alive today?” And the only answer that worked for me was to serve and build a community. Serving others was worth the pain, when nothing else was. I hope you can find something of value in this video.

even if your own life is a mess ,if you are able to help someone else in some way to manage there life or be happier you have done something profound. My step dad was bi polar/manic depressive, I grew up seeing(experiencing) his struggle , despite the fact that he was sometimes very hard to be around his overall influence was still good, I love him very much, he taught be many things and some of the best parts of my personality came from him. he is in his late 60's now and somehow has very much leveled off , he is pretty content in life and doesnt have such huge swings anymore. he is a really good man that I love dearly and I love the aspects of myself and interests I gained from him.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Mr Wells most people don't want to or know how to talk about the people left behind after a loved one commits suicide but you did a fantastic job. My mom commited suicide and I go through severe depression. I feel your message was sent for me to hear because believe it or not I started watching your videos during one of my depressed moments and I have been following you every since. I probably will never be able to afford to buy a van but when I watch your videos I feel like I have been on vacation and it gives me a sense of peace. Sorry for rambling but I had to let you know how much I appreciate you sharing your life 🙏🏿

Bob is a good and concise speaker. Has he thought about doing a Ted Talk? (I don't know if Ted Talks pay anything, but that's neither here nor there.) Depression has been in my life in myself and loved ones, and in another video Bob said do everything you can to think about others and not yourself. Depression tricks you into navel gazing and so yes; working on anything (anything!) outside oneself is the answer.

Very touching, dear Bob. I honor your healing process because it brought you to the man that you now are, compassionate, infinitely kind, honorable, deep thinker, respectful, generous, unpretentious. In working for others, you've been healed yourself. Loved when you said that being out in nature brought you so much joy. I totally agree. Nothing can compete with the beauty, majesty and awesomeness of God's creation reflected in nature and in our smiling faces, all warmly smiling back, loving you.

So glad you are still here Bob. Your videos have changed the lives of many including mine. I'm a 26 year old who has had battled anxiety and depression my whole life. I describe it just they way you did, not mopey and sad but definitely not happy. Ive talk to my doctors of course and have never let it take full control but really just having someone like you be so open about how they feel and have felt, is such a boost knowing Im not alone in the way I have felt. Im not on the road yet but I bought a van in October for a hell of a good deal I think just repairing the body work on it so I can finish the rest of the build on the inside and hit the road this summer. Thanks for everything you and everyone that helps this channel operate do.

I stumbled across your RU-vid channel a few months ago when I was day dreaming (for the thousandth time) about van life. I get so excited whenever I see you have uploaded a new video and have learned so much though your channel-especially through your interviews/RV tours. You’re an excellent interviewer and I love that you interview all kinds of people and give us a little glimpse of their story. I’m happy you had the courage to share your own story and struggle with mental health. I can’t even begin to image the pain you felt losing your son, and all of the other struggles that were compounding at that point in your life, but I am so grateful that your friend came in at the right time to help you begin to cope and heal. I thank you for choosing life, for sharing your story, and for creating this amazing RU-vid channel that has brought me so much joy!

@margiecallahan3009 4 года назад

Bob, you’ve moved me to tears! I lost a son a year after you did. It does something terrible to the surviving parents. Also two divorces like you and 2008 was a financial disaster for me. You’re living your purpose and that is the definition of mental health. God bless you!

@contactjoy4140 4 года назад

Thank-you, Bob. I've been an voracious follower of yours, gleaning every bit of knowledge from you that I can. You've made statements about how you need to be alone..... and yes, at those times you do. Hearing your deepest truth humbled me. There is no way to readjust to such a loss. All of those times when you asked, "Why can't I leave?" Yes, it took a little while and now you know. The majority of those in your audience are here by necessity and had no point of reference of how to pull it off until they found you on RU-vid. You needed RU-vid to reach all of these folks, including me. You needed your period of adjustment so you can tell others that it takes a period of adjustment, after each loss, to find a purpose. You found yours and touched thousands of lives. One of the greatest things you have done is to remove the stigma of being homeless and living in a vehicle. Thank-you, Bob.

Oh, Bob, I'm so very, very sorry about your son! I cannot even begin to imagine going through that. I'm shocked how many people I now know whose children have committed suicide, including a close cousin, and a close friend of my brother's. It seems to be an epidemic in the children of our generation - a truly terrible one. I'm so glad you've found a new reason to live, though. Helping others *is* the way through depression, to that I can also personally attest. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm very grateful you are still here, sharing your knowledge, which is likely to help *me* survive in the likely not very distant future. I do hope we can eventually meet, but even if we never do, I respect and admire you and what you have built and continue to do to help others.

I'm currently caring for a physically disabled wife and mother. My wife was also diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder in 2014 so she has changed into a completely different person who feels differently about me now. I am a prisoner to both her and my mother's needs. I have no life of my own and no happiness, only depression. I find escape in watching van life, truck camper life, and RV life in general videos on RU-vid. I am a writer with currently 8 self published books. I have more stories to write but my depression is crippling me and preventing me from doing so. One day I hope to live the nomad life. One day I hope to be free. Thank You Bob for your story.

Beautiful!!! I have lost a brother and a brother-in-law to suicide in the last 18 months and this after losing both parents in the six months before. If it were not for the support of a few friends and family members, the waves of depression may very well have consumed me. My doctor lost his son to suicide in 2018. He highly recommended that I do what he did... hit the road and get into nature. That's when, at 60 years old, I outfitted my SUV for a trip from SE Texas to the Appalachians, all by myself and it was amazing. I still live in my home near my support group, but I do travel alone. Thank you for this!!! Our Higher Power listens and directs people into our lives in some pretty amazing ways. Make time to be alone in nature, but don't neglect that wonderful net of people that literally save lives.

I have not been suicidal, per se, but I was the "living dead" while being severely depressed, losing several years to it and what you said about your dog resonates with me. If it wasn't for my dogs and cats, I would've lived much more poorly, as it was them that got me up and moving day-by-day through the worst of it all. Thank you for sharing your story and yourself to us. It means more than words could ever explain. 💗

Most people are walking wounded, pretending to be ok. In a van or out in the sticks there is no pretend. I assume it can be lonely, but it sure seems like you all are able to live and breath free and feel again...and enjoy what you do for yourself and love yourself...step by step...day by day...sunshine day by sunshine day by windy stormy day and everything you experience... Bob and his crew tells you your not alone and gives you dignity, love and support... It is so beautiful to see this on youtube.

The perfect gift that God gave us was to" Love one another" when you get out of self and into others you find JOY

Oh Bob, I had no idea. Thank you for sharing your life, your heartaches, and struggles. We all have a story and yours is very touching and relatable. You’ve managed to turn your life around and are receiving blessings from the love and wisdom you’re so freely sharing with others. May God bless and keep dear man. I’m so sorry about the loss of your beloved son.

So grateful that you'e shared your story. It's a very brave thing to share. I personally keep these to myself but also have realized that I have been working on these same demons for most of my life. I now wake up every morning making sure I give myself the things I am so very thankful for and they now out weight anything negative. I soon will be on my next adventure and it all due to your inspirations. Thank you once again and all your wonderful volunteers

Mental health is so important ! Thank you for sharing your story. I am so Grateful that Steve came into your life when he did as it allowed you to open the door to others. Being on the road has been a dream for many years, 2 years ago I was in an auto accident with black ice, totalled 'George Washme' my Jeep. I broke both my legs, my dominate arm and my autonomy to say the least. Oh I had plans for George! That was 2 years ago and 2 days ago. Watching your videos have been one of my best therapies! I continue to struggle with the autonomy and have to locate new transportation but you have kept me going and for this I thank you. Bless you all!
