This video is about mental and emotional health. We talk about EMDR therapy, ego, depression, suicide, demons, prayer, tools, and PTSD. Life is beautiful and amazing, but it can also be a dark, lonely and painful. Phone a friend. Use the buddy system. And use the right tools for the job. There are a lot of parallels to self maintenance and automotive maintenance. There’s also new technologies and specialized disciplines to both. One of them being eye movement desensitization reprocessing.
Books on mental health and effective thinking to reduce mental flack, suffering, and drama.

Thanks for sharing
Hoping your daughter is okay after that episode. I can relate to a lot of what you share. Thank you for sharing. Hang in there, brotha. This year has been a "dumpster fire." Things will get better. The fact of the matter is, we need others. If you need anything, just let me know! 17:45 lost it with ya here, man.
Thank you.
I honestly would not be surprised if I have some form of PTSD. Being sick for more then two decades, running my own IV lines, doing penicillin injections, and tracking all kinds of meds will get to anyone – I started at 15. If I could think of one trigger it would be when I woke up at 2am one night because the IV had punctured and was spurting blood – I woke up wondering what was warm and wet. I'm not depressed, I'm more apathetic. I'm pausing the video to take it in chunks to make it easier to focus on, thanks for sharing your experiences Brian. Take care and be healthy.
Just as a mechanic needs tools to be a successful mechanic, people need mental and emotional tools to be a successful person. We are mostly not born with these tools so they need to be learned from people who have walked the path before us or share the same path. Nobody who is alive on the planet has reached perfection as a human.
Thank you for this video
Amen Brother on reaching out for help.
We do rely on one another.
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
Great video, I grew up and learned that men don't cry but at some point learned it was okay but it took a long time.
Over time I taught myself to calm down, don't bite your tongue too hard, breath, it's okay you can do it.
I have eight children and there is eleven years between number seven and number eight. Number eight is Victoria and she is not our whoops baby, she is our bonus baby.
Jesus is my Lord and Savior but he sent me a little savior and we named her Victoria.
I went through seven years of depression.
If it wasn't for my bonus baby I probably wouldn't be here.
I would come home from work and all I wanted to do was go to sleep I was exhausted and depressed and if I slept I could forget the pain.
Pain, real or imagined is still pain.
When I came through the door my daughter would say, Hi daddy it's great to see you how was your day? I would lie and say it was good or okay. To which she would say,
I love you daddy and give me a great big bear hug. To this day she gives bear hug.
Yeah so when I would contemplate bad things, I would think but what about Victoria.
Life was more than I could handle and I kept trying to figure it out. I would call my wife and say I can't do this, this job is killing me I'm gonna quit.
But I couldn't quit, I had been out of work for two years. Savings was all gone. We were eating hand to mouth. To make matters worse the job was paying 14 or 15 thousand less than my previous job.
Yeah big take away do reach out for help. Also those that can should be watching for those that fall by the wayside.
I tell people that Smiles is the longest word in the world, it has a mile between the S's .
Smiles are not expensive in fact they are free, so give em away it doesn't cost you anything and you could save a live by giving away a free smile.
My daughter's smiles always brightened my day.
Sorry for being so long. Thanks for the vid and showing the love. It's good to know it's there. Have a great day.
thanks youer stronger then you think ,good job. thank you have a good day.
Thank you Brian. Much Love!!!
