FINALLY someone talking about selective mutism😭🙏 living with selective mutism is pure HELL I wish it was more known like autism- from a person who has both autism and selective mutism💔
There was once an artist with schizophrenia named Brian Charnley. He decided that one day, he’d slowly start going off his medication to artistically depict how schizophrenia feels through self portraits. He would make journal entries alongside each one to describe why things were painted and the thought process behind them. He ended up taking his own life after weeks of his thoughts essentially tormenting him with the most common things painted being nails pounded through him and a mouth replacing his brain. I recommend looking the portraits up because they’re extremely thought provoking and there’s just so much to unpack about them
i have BPD and he explained that perfectly! relationships are so exhausting and triggering most of the time. wish people could understand the disorder better.

I have autism and anxiety, I was nervous at first but it's a relief to see them explained so thoughtfully here. It's so draining for people to be like "Oh you're autistic, so you scream a lot?" or "Oh you have anxiety? Just stop feeling nervous"
I don't have trichotillomania but I do struggle something similar; skin picking. I will pick/bite my fingertips until they bleed. The amount of times people tell me to "just stop" is unbelievable. I quite literally can't no matter how hard I try.
I love how you included BPD in this, as someone with BPD this is absolutely the most accurate way I've ever seen BPD described!! "They're not unaware, they're overwhelmed, and they're usually more self-critical than anyone around them" is VERY TRUE!!
This offered me clarity I felt powerless to my borderline personality trait disorder, complex ptsd, ocd, and major depressive disorder I literally felt broken. I was raised to believe all of it was my doing and felt like I was ultimately broken I cant tell you how many times Ive attempted to end it only to be conflicted again and again. Like it was a cruel joke and I was just a monster. Explaining it in such an easy matter you offer clarity. These were all diagnosed from my psychologist I only looked at the symptoms and thought of them as curses or plagues seeing its my brain has major processing issues with emotions makes me feel slightly better. I always felt something seemed off but I am learning in therapy now just how much gaslighting has warped my reality.
As someone with both bipolar disorder type 2 and PTSD. I really appreciate this video. So many people in my life just plain don’t understand how I feel, or what is going on. I felt like yelling « say it louder so that the people in the back can hear!!! »❤
My mom has OCD and she checks the doors at least 100 times to make sure it’s locked whenever we leave the house. When i was younger i never understood and used to get so annoyed about it. As i got older, i realised what was really happening and how this has been effecting my mom all these years. Thanks for bringing it to light
Thank you for explaining how ADHD, ASD and social anxiety in an informational way! I always get alot of people thinking it's a joke or anything else, I appreciate you for explaining it correctly.
"Trading peace for repetition" is such a good way to describe ocd
As someone who has Bipolar Disorder, as well as ADHD and High-functioning Autism, you described Bipolar PERFECTLY. You're right, it's not just random mood swings, it's a complex blend of emotions, among many other things. I feel like some professionals, including people in society, are ignorant to these things and see them as more of a personality defect than a condition that someone could actually have. I'm glad theres people out there like you who get the message. Keep up the good work.
I am so glad these are talked about. I have multiple on this list that might be linked in a way. I have ADHD and Autism. That sucks af. It comes with trichotillamania, and my biggest target are eyelashes. Like they do grow back, but hella slowly. I have very little now. However, my depression is far more misunderstood. I have major depressive disorder with scidal thoughts. That's my whole diagnosis. I'm not lazy. I'm not seeking attention. Everything is heavy and like climbing a steep hill. I get artificial energy and serotonin from medication or I can't function. And even then, it's like putting a bandaid on a leaking dam. It barely holds it, but it's enough to function. I consider myself strong on some days, but a failure on the really hard days. Like getting up to make food, take a shower, brush my teeth, etc feels heavy. I hate it so much, but I'm gonna still use it as a tool to help others feel better.
Thank you so much for including OCD in this video. I see and hear misinformation about it way too often, and, as a person who has it, it really hurts. I've been suffering because of my disorder for years, not only because of how much it impacts my daily life, but also because, as there's so much misinformation, people joke about it a lot and never take it seriously. But you explained it so, so well. "It's not about being picky or organized, it's a disorder that hijacks your thoughts and holds them hostage". That couldn't be worded better. Thank you so much 😭
"DID isn't a superpower" Moon Knight: "Wanna bet?"
I have trichotillomania, every time my mom sees my eyebrows and eyelashes, she tells me to just “stop” it’s really frustrating when people at school notice them and ask me what happened to my brows and lashes, but I’m too embarrassed to say that I pulled them out 😔
I have Asperger's Syndrome which is a type of Autism Spectrum Disorder and you described ASD perfectly. Thank you so much for making a video that has a general outline of it. My parents and family expected me to just "grow out of it," but it's not as easy as that. We can learn how to socialize but we just learn differently.
I was told by a college professor that they once went into a VR reality where it was supposed to make a neurotypical person experience the hypersensitivity autistic people experience 24/7 with both vision and earing. She said she went insane within 5 minutes and had to take it off, then said she couldn't beileve that's what we're expected to just deal with, mask, and even if we do bring it up, we're completely invailded. And VR can only do the senses of vision and hearing. Now imagine that this also applies to your sense of taste, touch, and smell. She went insane that fast just experiencing TWO of the five senses we have to deal with every single moment of our entire lives. Every single parent who's kid gets diagnosed, teacher, and doctor should be required to be put through that because the amount of them who just force us to suffer into silence because "its not that bright," or "this noise is so minor why does this bother you,' is geninuely traumatizing.
