Mental health is a challenge for anyone, but for men it is stigmatized even more. Arco has Schizophrenia, he has had it since his 30s, he has been heavily medicated to the point of feeling like a zombie, it sucked! He is currently unmedicated and doing very well, sees a therapist for talk therapy and lives a healthy active life, clean and sober. Clean and sober is key! When you have your wits about you it helps immensely to delineate what is real and what is your head. There are some great medicines on the market and wonderful therapists as well. If you are struggling and need help, go for it! Get some help, do what you need to live your best life! It is totally worth it, I promise!!!
Much Love,
Arco & Heidi

    I've had social anxity all my life. My cousin was in the same situation as you. I've been on medication since 1984. But it's good to have friends you can talk to. Wish you the best. And i hate to admit it, but I've done that to my breaks twice back in the late 70s. Luckily a rotor was only about 20 dollars back then.

    Hey Bro – tough watching that. I got brain damage in Afghanistan and had lots of the wrong treatment. Best help I got with personality change issues was – always go back to that little boy that used to go and explore the woods- really best advice I ever had. It's that time when it's just you and nothing else.

    Just stumbled across your channel. Doing up an old Renault camper van. Got some welding and sheet metal work to do. So been going through some videos and seen this one. I too suffer with my mental health and I enjoy doing some projects and custom stuff. Stay safe dude and great video. Enjoyed watching the video πŸ‘πŸΌ

    Hey Arco is that a technical name "little teflon, plastic bloop" on the end? :O)

    Having a good family is a lot of help coping.
    I have the same attitude you have. "This is me take it or leave it". I am to old to change. lmao.
    It is best to speak up and get things off your' chest but people just don't agree.
