My older brother is diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and I’m looking forward to listening to this. I’ll probably leave a comment underneath this with my thoughts when I’m done lisyening
I really look forward to hearing your thoughts & feedback! Also please message me on IG if you would like to talk more 🖤🖤🖤 thank you for listening!
My hyper-fixation drink is Polar sparking water lol
Praying that you get a Liquid Death sponsorship 💅 you introduced me to Kombucha 🫶
❤
Cleaning and cooking don't count. Those are life skills.
They sure do! When you’re 3-4 years old you shouldn’t be forced to do the chores your parents aren’t doing. You should be able to enjoy childhood.
This is super common in immigrant families and single parent households. I was a younger child of both. I always feel super guilty for my older siblings. My oldest brother and sister were like parents to me and our other 2 siblings. I always wonder if they resent that.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience with me 🖤 it’s very interesting to hear the perspective of the younger sibling. I’m in the middle, but still had that caretaker role, and I’ve always wondered what it’s like for my younger sibling in the dynamic.
For someone who struggles with this and has never meet anyone who can relate, thank you for this video!🫶🏻
Of course! I know how isolating emetophobia is, and I’m glad you found this episode!!! Wishing you a journey of healing 🖤🤍
The country is screwed if this is the calibre of your worries.
Oh no, people live comfortably enough to worry about understanding their mental health because their other needs are rather well taken care of ? The horror ! 🙄
The real horror is that there are people out there, seemingly like you, who don’t understand that many problems can exist at once, and just because we are talking about this one, does not mean other issues don’t exist and are not to be worried about or advocated for. This has nothing to do with the country, the state of things, etc. it has to do with the fact that many people face real issues, and if you don’t relate, you can keep scrolling. But thanks for the comment anyway, it really helps boots my content into the algorithm for people to see and enjoy 😉
Thank you so much for this opportunity, Madison!! It is an honor to be your friend and being invited into this incredible space you have created is mind blowing. I love being able to do this work and I love YOU ❤❤
Itssss soooo trueeeee
😭😭😭
I think it depends on who it is.. if you are a single mother of 4 and you see your way out because life is hard, yes that's selfish, cause it will deeply affect your children's lives. Now they have to deal not only with abandonment issues but also guilt. They might even get separated put into foster care homes and lose the sense of family. First priority should always be to get help, exhaust all options. And a lot of ppl don't. They try to work it out themselves or drown their feelings in alc or swallow them with pills instead of doing the work. If you are an ALSor cancer patient or anybody who has to deal with unbearable (chronic) pain that even opioids can't lessen and your disease is in its end stages, then yes I would agree it's more selfish wanting to keep them here.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that the impact of suicide on loved ones, especially children, is profound and complex. The intention behind saying 'suicide isn’t selfish' is to shed light on the mental health struggles that many people face, which often lead to feelings of isolation, despair, and pain that can cloud judgment and make it hard to reach out for help. People in that state aren't choosing to hurt others-they’re often overwhelmed by suffering they feel they can’t escape. By encouraging compassion and understanding, we hope to break down the stigma and support those who feel trapped to seek the help they need before it feels like there’s no way out.
Grief hurts so much, my ex partner committed suicide 3 years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. The guilt I feel everyday is awful. It makes me feel like I don’t deserve to live
I’m so sorry for the immense pain and guilt you’re carrying. Grief can be incredibly heavy, and it’s natural to feel a complex mix of emotions after such a profound loss. Please remember, though, that you deserve kindness and compassion, especially from yourself. Guilt can be a difficult part of grief, but it doesn’t mean you’re responsible or that you don’t deserve to heal. Your feelings are valid, and taking small steps to care for yourself is okay. You’re not alone in this journey, and there are people and resources (like this show!!) that can help support you through these feelings🖤🖤🖤
that music is very unfair, combined with that topic...how dare you ;--;
Girl what
Last time when i throw up is 2022. But i really fear of vomiting and sickness😢
I feel youuu!😭😭😭
Yup 😔
The worst feeling 💔💔
God will see you thru Girlie !!! Alwayz ❤❤❤ Never Forget about the "Power in Prayer" ✝️
Hey! Thanks for this! though I don’t subscribe to these ideas, I have found other ways of healing through this experience 🤍 wishing you the best, and appreciate your kind words!
The day I found out that my ex partner committed suicide every thing changed. The grief and remorse eats me alive. I still loved him but never told him. My whole life changed and living with this is so much pain.
I am literally living the same reality. I’m so so sorry you are experiencing this, too. I feel and know your pain so deeply. I hope you’re finding peace in this 🤍
@@andalsopodcast thank you for your comment. It feels comforting in a way to know that someone can relate to how I feel. Most people around me don’t understand the pain and keep telling me to move on. It is not easy to let go of these feelings. I am so sorry that you are experiencing the same pain ❤️🩹
I am so sorry for ur loss😢
This happens to me too unfortunately
🖤🖤🖤
I always let it enter my mind. I can’t control it.
Hope you're doing better. My thoughts never go away.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Fly high 🕊️
Thank you so much 💔❤️
sorry for you loss❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you ❤️
sorry for your loss ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss I just found out
Tears are words the mouth can't say, nor the heart can't bare
💔💔💔
We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and some days we drown, while others we are forced to swim
Things will definitely get better.Keep your head up.
Thank you!❤️❤️
@@andalsopodcast you are definitely welcome 🤗🤗🤗
You know they say what don’t kill you only makes you stronger. Adaptation is like a superpower for humans.
Certainly! It’s all a journey.
It gets better
❤❤❤
Great advice❤
Thank you so much!🖤 I just hope it can help one person
Dawg, my grandpa died earlier this morning. Gimme at least a day, dayum! 😂
The algorithm read you!!!! Jokes aside, I am so beyond sorry for the loss of your grandpa 🖤 I hope you’re able to find peace through this time, sending you and your family love!!
1 year ago...
Ahhh 😩 hopefully it was the last time EVERRR🤣
@@andalsopodcast oop it was yesterday 🤭
NO WAY
Grief is so hard. You have to accept it, it will take a long time. Hopefully you already have a good group of people to help you. If you don't, seek people out. Just talking to someone about it helps in magnitudes. For those who need it, good luck and best wishes
this is really thoughtful, thank you ❤️ I am so lucky to have a really great support system. talking about it is everything, and just helps make it lgihter even for a moment. best wishes to you!!
Lost my dad and can say with anecdotally certainty no one thinks any of that bare a few assholes who’s opinion you wouldn’t listen to decide what chocolate bar you should buy.
Everyone's experience is different. With suicide grief I have experienced these very often, but not every grief is the same.
Time does not heal anything in fact time teaches us how to live with pain
absolutely!
Wish I had forever to worry about anything but survival.
Thank you for this real talk. My brother took his own life in April. He was 47. He was undiagnosed and had masked it for years by self medicating. He had been thru some difficult life changes and losses. He was a sweet kind funny soul who was loved beyond measure. I miss him so much. I can’t imagine the pain and torture he felt every day. I’d do anything to change what he did but I can’t image how much he suffered every day. But he was not weak or selfish. He was exhausted and couldn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for discussing this hard and painful issue. I am so sorry for your loss.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your brothers story with us, and for the thoughtful condolences ❤️ honestly you couldn’t have worded this comment better. It’s always so frustrating when people label suicide victims as selfish, because it’s such a misled concept. You’re right- he was not weak or selfish. I hope you are finding some moments of peace and comfort through your loss, and I’m grateful you found this episode. Thank you again for sharing your story!
You are a true inspiration ❤
This is soo sweet! Thank you Danielle ❤️
always a pleasure working with you! i love your content and i feel absolutely honored to be your editor 🖤
So good to see you! So excited about the future of And Also. I will definitely be tuning in! Thank you for catching us up on all your new developments. I'm so proud of you and all you've accomplished. To find one's path in life is such a gift and such a wonderful thing. Can't wait for the new season!❤🎉
I haven’t thrown up since like.. Forever bro
😅😅😅 same and I am sooo scared to ever again
Starting to watch this one.. and you are talking about getting help.. The problem is many times a person with schizophrenia rarely trusts "professional help".. And when they do actually the help means whole lotta meds... That make you lose yor personality and possibly physical health. I hope someday they'll actually find the root cause and we can start treating it. The care that's been offered now is inhuman.
It’s very very hard to get someone dealing with schizophrenia the help they need. Totally agree, we lived this reality every single day, and it’s hard. Though I partially agree about meds being a risk, there are so many people living very normal lives with schizophrenia on their medication! It would be nice to find a root cause, but every case is vastly different. Here’s a really great organization that’s fighting to learn more about the disorder, and has tons of education on treatment! sczaction.org
Thank you for sharing about schizophrenia, i am currently dealing with this with my son. And i can relate. Sometimes, it feels like there is no real help. This kind of video helps me learn more about it. And it gives me some hope .
This means so much to me. Our whole idea with this video was to make at least one person feel less alone. For us, we felt so alone, and it was really difficult. So it looks like the episode served its purpose, which makes me so proud ❤️ I really wish you so much peace with your son, and I hope you’re able to get him the help he needs!
😢
Thank you for this. I am diagnosed Schitzoaffective and you have helped me understand the Schitzo part a little more. I have always had suicidal thoughts, ideation, and have attempted multiple times. Rest In Peace Regis! You were Loved.
So fun today! Keep it comin. Good job, you two ❤❤
Thank you!!! Figured we would add a fun episode to break things up:)
🤍🤍🤍
