Rooster Teeth helped pull me through one of the darkest time of my life. Watching rvb kept me laughing when I didn't want to anymore. Thank you Rooster Teeth for sharing this and doing all you do.
im only four minutes in and this is already very heavy. I admire how open you all are here. Thank you for sharing, and caring about the community like this. It's so very powerful to be kind and loving <3
@Crackracket not 100% if it WAS 50 people, that was just a widely reported guestimate. and thats a big ole conjecture thinking all of those people thought it was their dream job. either way, not seeing the point of this comment or the reason you felt the need to say this on a stream solely aimed at providing help to those who feel helpless and furthering the conversation around mental illness.
bottom line: not the time or place for this comment.
@TheCrafty What a fucking ignorant attitude to take up. Who the hell are you? Do you know anything about the 'point' of a comment? You're a fucking tool, perhaps when you learn to think instead of standing up for shit you aren't related to you'll realize how pointless YOUR comment is
If anyone here ever feels sad/blue/depressed/anxious/scared, don't hesitate to send me a message! You can find me under the same nickname on most social media too.
i also, right after college, was hit with a huge wave of anxiety and depression that i was born with but i had been handling okay. i also had to move in with my parents after living alone for 2 years just to stay alive, away from my then boyfriend and friends. and i remember the firsr couple of months not wanting to get up to take a shower. and now, im living alone again and feeling much better thanks to medication and life coaching and counselors. i remember loosing it over messing up dinner for my family, and now i cook every meal. it does get less horrible and if you are crying every night and every morning feeling a pull back down to the bed, please practice breathing. and remember that it doesnt take a millio. steps, it takes one small step every day. please take care of yourself, call the hotline even if you arent in the middle of the episode, ask them about what you could do to feel better, ask them what options are available for free, ask any question you have and keep asking until you have a first step. then make that step. i know it feels like you cant, but you are so much stronger than you know, you just havent practiced that strength for a while. build that mental muscle until youre used to taking a shower every day then take the next step. we love you, darling.
everyone: YOUR EMOTIONS ARE NOT A BURDEN. THAT IS WHAT CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE IS, SHARING BOTH BAD AND GOOD. AND IF YOUR GOOD IS "i got dressed today" THEN CELEBRATE THAT SHIT WITH EVERYONE, CAUSE IT DESERVES TO BE SHARED.
I am very happy that this stream exists. I struggle a lot with anxiety and depression (pretty sure a whole lot of denial and numbness are the only reasons I function) and it's very nice to hear that people like me aren't alone in this. This is something that a lot of people deal with. And it's very true that talking helps! Whether a friend or family or a help line or even a pet!
