We’re going to talk about the best mental health philosophy of all time. This is not the philosophy of jordan peterson, the law of attraction or even alain de botton …
here just to tell you to ignore the hate and do you man I was one of your first subs and I left because I sort of got out of my rut of depression and your vids sorta triggered my agitation because sometimes it just be click bait with stupid little relation to mental health witch I disliked about you to be honest but your still a good guy just let the money get to you
I love how you said when Bobby burns got into a car accident he wasn't sober but did you know people can get into car accidents without being high/drunk. My mom and aunt got into a car accident a couple years ago and neither were drunk/high
This was lackluster and unoriginal. And all that talk about the best mental health philosophy of all time.. yet you never really explained one of the biggest reasons it's EFFECTIVE to share personal hardships with others who are struggling to get well. Obvious that you are just regurgitating generic thoughts on the matter. I'll give you a tiny hint: Shame on you. 🤣🤣
I got sober while in A.A. but this position being advoctaed is very dangerous.
If I have schizophrenia and got well, I am in NO way qualified to diagnose or reccomend treatment for Schizophrenia. That is an absurd and damaging position to take!
In all your video descriptions… "by using this referral link, you support the channel!" Wowwww. crazy lack of transparency just confirms that your motives are more to make money that advocate mental health or to help people with their mental health. The reality is more like: "If you use this referral link, I get paid up to $200 if you end up using this service, SOME of which may go back into my channel" Also, why tf is it an alt link? How fucking shady is that??? Just use the actual BetterHelp link… that's what it is.
Man im actually really honest with my therapist. I was so desperate for help. I just completely went in and forced myself to get it together because I was heading to be a college alcoholic, and theres so many of them already.
Antidepressants (Lexapro especially) had me even more depressed to the point where it convinced me I should commit suicide and was planning what the best way to die would be. That was also when I started harming myself, which was unlike me. A part of me that was still rational knew I didn’t really want to die and that if I grow any closer to actually attempting it then I would check myself into a hospital, which terrifies me still. I was so scared I would have to leave everything for even just a few days at least just because I wanted to die. I decided that once I finished that round of my prescription I would stop taking it. Not to mention it had me bouncing back and forth between being THAT suicidal and me coming out of it believing I’m cured and nothing was ever wrong and now that I’m cured I can do anything. I appreciate what SSRIs can do for people, there are many who definitely need them. I was open and willing to try them to get me to a baseline, but they are not for me. I haven’t even had the inkling to self harm since I stopped taking them. Now I can only go forward and try other things to see what the right fit is for me personally and whatever I’m dealing with. I’m happy your medication works for you, Chris. Keep up the good work, your videos are a breath of fresh air for me ❤️
I loved this. I also think it’s proof of something Chris has had to defend himself against. Look at the title. We come here for mental health but the video that is basically titled like the best mental health philosophy ever has over 800 views but he puts a you tuber in the title & what like hundreds of thousands of views on certain videos? Which means so many more ppl getting great advice & maybe some help & relief. So I agree with Chris he does not need to explain his thumbnails or titles to me bc this view count tells me all I need to know about Chris’s motives which you may question (it’s your right and even healthy) but I have no doubt his thumbnails, content, and titles and the motive behind them are pure. I love my fellow rewired souldiers but we need to recognize what is it that we are here for. Great mental health. So watch this video even if your favorite or least favorite youtuber is not in the title. I love you all. Ty Chris.
After losing my father & my late husband's father within 1 month of each other I was put on antidepressant for a short time & it helped me to do day to day functions & handle a very stressful job. I weaned myself off. Six years later my late husband didn't wake up. I went to my primary health doctor & told her that I realized I was drinking alcohol but knew it was a bad idea. I was put back on antidepressant. The problem was it wasn't the right one for me & the mental health doctors I was sent to didn't ask all the questions to help me to realize it wasn't the right one for me. I got to an amazing psychiatrist in Dallas, TX (Dr. William Thornton) who did ask questions & the suggested I try a different medication to see if it would be better. OMG I didn't know my life could be so free from the constant misery I had been living with. He saved my life! Moral of the story, don't say no to medications which could treat an illness better than others whether prescription, over the counter, or natural. You are worth getting the best treatment so you can have the best life possible!
As a Teen Challenge graduate I learned that unless you get to & address the pain that caused you to use chemicals then you can't get free & stay free from the chemicals. This is why TC is the most successful life-controlling problem recovery program on the planet with the highest clean-sober status after 5, 10, 15, 20… years. I'm 24 years free…
I've used antidepressants and antianxiety drugs off and on going back nearly 20 years. For the last 3-4 years I haven't been on them except for a few scripts of antianxiety during the worst raging and ptsd times. FOR ME, I've found that they put a haze on everything. So during joyful times I didn't fully feel happy. During chaotic times I didn't feel the gravity of the situation. The biggest reason I no longer take them is that I couldn't reach my innermost being and work on the issues causing my addiction. I'm not saying this is true for everyone, but it is for me
TheRewiredSoul This was Everything I had imagined! You are so incredibly intelligent do not ever let anyone make you question whether or not your videos make a difference because they honestly help me every single time You really truly have helped me and so many friends and family that I have referred to your channel who are now Soulders so again thank you for making videos that actually make a difference in peoples lives I am always learning something new about myself everyday and I actually love those things about me when before I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror but now I can all thanks to you well mostly all thanks to God for giving me strength but thanks to you for encouraging me not judging me I feel like I belong here where as I never felt like I belonged anywhere with any NA or AA meetings I went too Knowledge is Contagious love you all I truly hope if you are a recovering/recovered or active addict you have the ability to kick the habit permanently I believe in YOU
Victor Frankl's logotherapy (made most popular and understood from his well known book Man's Search for Meaning) is great for mental health. The story you mentioned about the man with a cow is similar. People can deal with anything – including beimg tortured and terrified in a concentration camp, which Doctor Frankl was, with almost everything taken from.him – as long as they have a reason to survive.
I wish AA was less faith based, but I do think it is more beneficial than harmful. It definitely needs to improve, but talking to others does help, especially with people who know what you are going through, because they are going through the same thing and knowing that you are not alone. This is why I am happy to be a #rewiredsouldier
Hey Chris, love your vids and it’s been so cool to see your channel blow up in the last few months- I would love to see a video on your opinion/review of the movie Beautiful Boy? I thought it was an amazing portrayal of how addiction affects loved ones and would be interested to see what u think 🙂
Hi ok now I get the before doing and talk out I see were come from I got to work on that thank you…. I do watch your video…. I work on my self time to look at my life thank you
Idk Chris, sometimes being open with health care professionals only does harm. I once admitted to a history of suicidal feelings and got admitted into a mental ward, I was there for a week with the psychiatrists asking me why I was there. I was held against my will and subjected to a lot of discomfort that I couldn't escape. I had my meds changed and could have been penalized for how over emotional the medication they were giving me against my will made me. Sometimes that mistrust is guaranteed because they aren't always working with the people to do what's best for them. In no case is taking someone's freewill and right to choose away going to help. Especially if you're going to force them to stay but keep them in a freezing cold room with nothing to sleep on surrounded by people who actually are mentally unstable :_: America seriously needs to revamp its mental health systems cause that stay was worse than a friends time in jail.
Thank you Chris. I definitely will try the support groups, I’m already in therapy at the moment but I do want to avoid antidepressants if I can. Ive tried them in the past and did not like how they made me feel.
A big reason I decided to start going to NA was to socialize with people who were like me. I thought if they were going to NA they must have issues and I could relate and be more comfortable lol a little rude but true. It was a strange move but worked wonders!
Oh and those bougie rehabs are not helpful the ones that get you healthy are the ones that are strict, strict in routine and discipline not luxury and spas that’s only good if it’s a treat and happens only when it’s deserved
I always wondered if there was the AA equivalent for mental health only without the mention of addiction because I couldn’t relate to that side of it anymore I did when I was a user but I’ve been sober for almost 2 years and I feel like only some of it applies to me now
Like I said on twitter dude… I have never understood the rejection of the best and simplest philosophy for addiction recovery. AA is quite literally the single most successful recovery program on the planet. No other program has ever proved stronger or more impactful. And the simple beauty of it is two or more “drug addict losers” getting together to share their experience, strength and hope. It’s a simple program for some very complicated people. Thank you so much for sharing this brother. Well said.

First time seeing your channel. Great info. Thank you 👍🏻
Mental health professionals and scientists did not get the idea for support groups from Alcholics Anonymous. Support groups existed before AA.

I bet he's the guy that holds the meeting hostage.
Oh look guys, he discovered lighting and make up.

Best philosophy for you. Not the world. Wake up 12stepper.
Hopefully you look back at these videos and think if you were really focusing on the solution, or if you were just doing it for social gain. 🤔
Overeating and food addiction is a real addiction 🙄🙄🙄

Bill Wilson was a philanderer and a conman. Look up the orange papers.
This is a VERY dangerous position to advocate.
