Arco tells it like is, living with Schizophrenia. He is out and about after dropping the kids off at school. sharing with you all some beauty of the north woods as he struggles with his mental illness. Little American Falls on the Big Fork River is gorgeous, and just what Arco needed to help clear his head. A hike with his dog Lily and some time in the woods top off a tough morning. Arco tells a few of the struggles of a daily life with Schizophrenia. A couple of mental health war stories, describing what its like to experience paranoia, anxiety, and fear. Men’s mental health is a real thing, some of the strongest men you know battle day to day with issues, and you may never know. Make sure that if someone opens up to you about their mental health, that you listen, ask how you can help, don’t assume they need help but offer it, they may not take your help but they will know that you are there for them. Check up on people. Keep their confidences. It is their story to tell, let them tell it.
Let’s reduce the stigma of mental health.

Arco man you are so cool, and rambling is good as that is when we become real and being real is what we need to see. Being real helps others to realize life is hard, it’s hard for us all. But if we realize that light shines out to others and helps them see their way through the Forrest of life. Probably why many of us find solstice being out in the woods, it’s easier and less scary than trying to navigate through life.
And when we are real and true we will connect with others who are real and true that actually like us for who we are and will have our backs no matter what.
I love ya man because your cool ! You are exactly who you were created to be and that bright light 💡 of yours shines incredibly bright 😉😎👍🏻
Brave of you to talk about your demons
Easily one of the most memorable YouTube videos that I have watched because of the openness, honestness and explication of personal struggles. Hearing this helps everyone, those who struggle in the same walk that you are on as well as others who have never even had a serious thought or conversation on this topic. Thank you for sharing your story, I will remember it for some time to come. If I ever am in a situation that involves this particular issue, I now have insight that I was previously blind to.
Love to hear you talk my friend! I have battled with anxiety and panic attacks all my life. Like you, some days are worse than others. We just have to do the best we can and carry in. Bless you Sir! Tom
Nice woof storey thank you
ARCO, you a role modelo for a lot people with the same diagnosis. People can be successful matter what. People put there own limitations on what they could achieve. You don’t have limitations because you are very talented person keep up the great job and teaching your craft to other. Keep it up.
I hope being able to share your experiences is cathartic. Keep on keepin on man. Best of luck to you. You're a helluva teacher as well, thanks for the videos.
Keep on keeping on…I recently found your videos..As a former bodyman I am amazed how much easier it is to work with product for a factory like finish…I worked for Chevrolet…when a pint of Dupont lacquer cost 1.75 cents Stay well I look forward to those explanations of why you use what you do
