David dobrik is quaking
Hey, hi, what's up?
My name's autumn
And I think I have good things to say sometimes so there was a specific request that I do this video
So I'm gonna do it
If you don't follow me on other platforms and you didn't know you are free to send me requests
You can do it by either in the comments here or sending an aks to my tumblr
I will probably see it on my tumblr sooner because I actually check that also
I know some people prefer to stay anonymous, especially when it's topics such as these because mental illness is so stigmatized
So I just went
So I just wanted to let you know that
Tumblr is an option before we start feel free to hit that little subscribe button to get notified every single time I post
I post on Wednesdays ish before we get started. This is just a general trigger warning
Some of these things are really gross and as always if you are uncomfortable or sensitive to this kind of topic
Please don't feel forced to watch
I
Would hope so perhaps that is why people are prescribed
Medications to change the chemical imbalance within their head because it is within their head. Hmm
I know this is always meant in the way of your just making you know
It's not as bad as you're making it out to be
eccentric cetera
uh
This is not a good thing to say to someone you're just overall
invalidating them their experiences and their feelings and trying to tell them how you think they should act and
Respond to what is happening with them?
Even though you are not the one going through it and you are not the one who has to deal with it
That's kind of ignorant. We know it's in our heads. That's what mental illnesses
This I see this absolutely everywhere not just in regards to mental illness
But in regards to everything in life
someone will speak about an issue that they're going for in public or online and
Somebody just always has to interject with it could be worse, you know, you know Suzy
It could be worse back in my day. It was worse than that
You know, it could be worse James
There are starving kids in Africa
But then simultaneously these exact people will do nothing to help these starving kids in Africa
You can't reference something to try and make an argument and then have nothing to back it up. So
Interesting. It's
absolutely common sense
or I would like to hope so that there is always
something or somebody worse we know but again just like the first one it's
Become this thing to invalidate
People or to shut people up when they actually try to talk about what they're going through and that's wrong
Can you feel the anxiety
Radiating off my body because I feel it inside me. Do you know how many times I
Specifically have been told this okay
This one makes me extra mad
When you feel the urge to tell somebody this whether you think it's good-natured or not
Evaluate what seems?
Mentally ill to you. What are you picturing when you hear the term mentally ill are you picturing an everyday Joe?
That's just like you and me or are you imagining somebody in an inpatient facility? Are you picturing? Someone being violent? Are you picturing?
What the media has taught you about mental illness after we get that part down
The next thing to evaluate is if you think you're being good-natured by saying this
Why do you think somebody would ever take this as a compliment?
Why do you view this as a compliment also again? Sorry for shouting about this one. I'm mad
It just writes at me
Why do you think people who achieve things people who are successful can't be mentally ill
Why do you think that people can cope with their mental illnesses some people's mental illnesses revolve around?
success and achieving things to an obsessive level if you knew me just
IRL and weren't that close to me and didn't follow me anywhere online you would assume I wasn't either you would never even
Think of the possibility of there being a chance that my mental health was not 100% and it's okay to admit that I know
That that is 99% of how the people who interact with me think and I swear to god
This is not like a moment to flex
That's not what this is
but getting invited to
Political banquets getting invited to academic events getting to full tuition
Scholarships and achieving an almost perfect 4.0 for my associates degree does not make me any less
Mentally ill even though I have accomplished those things. I am mentally ill
I'm getting way too much into my personal life. I'm sorry, but stop telling people that their mental illness
Equates with how successful they are stopped telling people. Oh you've achieved this. Oh you've stayed in school
Oh, you got this award. You can't be mentally ill that's not true
You don't know what other people struggle with stop
After I just got heated over the last one this one goes hand-in-hand with that one basically no one's life is perfect
Absolutely. No one's
Perfection as much as my mentally ill asked when disagree is not attainable
We are humans and we have flaws even if it seems perfect to you
You don't know what happens in everyone's life
24/7 you have absolutely no idea what goes on behind closed doors
I think this one is just incredibly ignorant for several reasons again
We're kind of going with the whole mentality with this one of oh
It's not that bad suck it up or you're purposefully letting it get this bad
I know the best even though I'm not going through this excetera, etc, etc
also
You're assuming we have full control of our mental illnesses that just tomorrow I can wake up and be like hey
Let's stop having psychosis because it's not fun. Let's just stop doing that
Let's just not do it ever again
Do you see how ridiculous that sounds and if you don't I don't I don't know what to tell you
There does come a dangerous point where some people do let their mental illnesses take over their lives
I'm not saying that that doesn't exist. However, even in this case simply just saying you just can't let it control you
What good is that gonna do them? No one's just gonna be like, oh well Barbara Thanks. I needed that now
I'm fine without offering any kind of actual
Comfort or help this is counterproductive and gross
The blank here is usually water yoga exercise, etc. Don't get me wrong
These are good things drinking water and exercising honest to God makes me feel better
However, that's not how it goes for everyone
And also this comment is usually delivered with a very skewed mentality of how mental illness is managed again
Don't get me wrong
there are definitely people whose mental health improves after doing yoga or drinking a lot of water or
Exercising more including myself and while all of these things are great in practice
many times these things need to be combined with something else such as CBT or
medications suggesting that somebody simply drink water or try yoga and their mental illness will disappear is
Oversimplifying their situation and also many of us have tried
Yoga or exercise or water before believe it or not?
Let it go let it go no
control monetized
This is mostly in regards to trauma stuff or mental illnesses that deal with trauma PTSD EDID, etc, etc
I just how can you be so ignorant and
Uncaring about people that have gone through something. So traumatic whether it be rape assault
vehicular accidents violence in general
That you honestly think it's appropriate to tell someone to get over it
It doesn't matter how long ago that trauma happens
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it should be classified as trauma. You did it go through it
You are not the one that slips into periods of having to relive those moments you have
Absolutely
No, right in any way shape or form to police someone's feelings over something that impacted them
So severely that they now
Experience flashbacks how alters cannot go to certain places, etc
Absolutely. No, right. Did you did you read my lips there? Did you hear me? She can rejoin you the same again?
no, right even if you experienced the same thing, is that person your
perceptions and your
worldview and your previous
Experiences are not the same. You have no ground to stand on when you tell someone this
That was expectedly
Aggravating. Sorry about that
But yeah, that is seven of the many things that you shouldn't tell somebody with a mental illness again
You are more than free to request stuff like this. I honestly think this might be my first mental health thing that I posted
That's weird. I know on Instagram and Twitter
I'm always going off about stuff
But like again, if you don't follow me on there, you don't see me going off about mental health stuff
But I think the reason it took me so long to make a video like this is because I get so
Emotionally invested in stuff because this stuff is me this stuff affects me and it's just really aggravating
to see people saying this kind of and to be told this kind of on a
Daily basis or even to just hear it in passing
It really hurts not to say I'm not like emotionally invested in all of the games that I post
I definitely am however I didn't go through as many hardships with that in my life. I guess is the correct wording
I don't know. That's a whole separate video. So the week is your alien prince
Thank you for supporting me in everything
I do if you want to be the next shot of the week, follow me on all my social and comment on my stuff
Thank you guys for watching and until next time dare to deviate and stop saying gross things. Good. Bye
Take a moment remind yourself to take
