EVERYTHING you said here makes PERFECT sense. No freaking idea how I found this channel but I'm so glad I did. I agree 100% I could never work a white collar corporate phony BS job. My happiness is being a truck driver. I stare out the window, listen to rock n roll, and wise people like you. Cheers from Cleveland Ohio 🍻
yeah. i think theres diff types of depression also. like you can be doing good but still have some nagging sadness or something you cant put your finger on. or just a low grade depression that i think is common and not a big deal. but there is full blown depression, and I can tell the difference, and that's caused by circumstance.
Yeah Einstein nailed it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Couldn’t agree more with everything you said
💯❤️ I was so lucky to see George Carlin live, on stage, while he was on tour in 1999. 1 statement he made during the show has always stuck with me: "It's Called the American Dream Because You Have To Be Asleep to Believe It" - George Carlin. So when you said the insane people are running the asylum it reminded me of Carlin's quote. You're so right! 💯❤️
Be stoic, make videos every day , maybe it's ment to be on that parking. You are not boring, you are honest and humble. You will be very successful in this , you got charisma and originality. That's how UA-cam channels should be. There are many others who do well because they are just themselves , not pretending to be somebody....wish you all the best , bro ! Baba Nam Kevalam 🙏
Totally agree! That’s what personally I enjoy about Joey’s videos because it’s always genuine and just a matter of fact and we NEED more of that these days! No more fake characters, false idolatry and all that! These days it’s refreshing to just hear truth whether you’re sitting in a parking lot, sidewalk, trailer etc doesn’t matter a bit to me… keep going GypJoe you def have a genuine gift and funny you knew all along you had something but this is it! Enjoy ✌🏼
You make a lot of sense. I was depressed, alcoholic for years! I’ve been to AA, church, taken anti depressants. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized the answers are in me! I don’t need all that horseshit anymore. Paying Psychologists to listen to me whine etc.. I appreciate your wisdom!
white collar job person here approaching my senior years. i’ve WASTED my life! YOU ARE RIGHT. (cept the god part, but that’s ok. ur right abt everything else. respect) young ppl listen to him!! don’t waste ur life - it’s much too short
So true but we have to work to have something to retire on you can't retire if you don't have money we are all getting older we can stay young for ever unless you want to be home less I'm retired but I'm about to have to sell my house because of the house taxes are so high many people are losing their houses because of houses taxes I'm trying to hold on but I'm thinking of a BUS RV. For me & my son & husband we are going to go south I'm so afraid but GOD has me 💯🙏💙🙏
Thanks man, I'm a Australian,50 year old you give me more convenience, I'm just about to be homeless and have been freken out, been good to hear some one being real. thanks
Great Channel Joey. You Speak Truthful and make great Points. Glad to have found Your Channel. Depression and addiction are Terrible. Thanks for Your Wisdom. 🙏
You must be in my head. I'm going thru a bit of depression right now and can use all the tips on how to beat or tackle it! This has been a really tough few days..... Pain will make people do stupid shit!! I'm far from doing stupid shit, but it's not from a lack of pain!!!
I think of pain as a blessing. The more pain, GOOD! More shit for me to learn, more shit for me to fix, be a man and lead. It’s a great teacher. No pain no gain that’s why so many rich ppl are clueless and stupid. Be thankful for the pain, feel and learn from it. Use it to your advantage to motivate you to kick ass! Be the man you always needed. You might see things that others do not. So you are responsible for things that others are not. Can’t have a victim mindset.
@@stringbender3 you obviously have never dealt with severe pain in your life and consider yourself very lucky. As much as I understand your "challenge", what you're saying is clearly from a person ho has never experienced pain at a level in dealing with. I hope and pray you never do.... It will turn your entire life upside down and makes it very hard to simply love things that everyone loves instantly. I'm sure you're coming from an honest position, but your honesty is actually cruel!! I appreciate your, in your face direction, of curing my ailment, but not a technique that works when handling long-term chronic pain. I've considered so many ways to tackle this issue, but taking your approach simply doesn't work. I've been a scratch golfer, excellent student and some would consider a good dad, but never dealt with something this entirely horrible condition and pray no one else has to either. After 13 years, 3 surgeries, 21 bolts, 2 plates, 3 bone grafts and a new device still remaining, my neck has seen severe trama very few cervical neck patients have thankfully never experienced. As a strong willed person, I don't need your concern and definitely your uneducated suck it up attitude, as that simply doesn't fit the Bill of Goods!!! What I would appreciate is for you to dedicate your extremely high concern used in a simple prayer for those if us that suffer daily from chronic pain. That's something I truly believe it's a better use of your time and definitely more valuable than me writing this text to someone who has nearly zero compassion for their fellow man. Have a great day!!!
Amazing. I was struggling with a situational depression the last few days, and just noticed your video. I’ve enjoyed your previous videos very much. Thanks.
And then you get to the existential depression side of things. The type of depression that is derived from all of the misery that is experienced by everyone around the world. The sad thing is, the more aware and intelligent you are, the more you recognize the injustices, cruelty and suffering that a lot of people experience. I consider myself lucky, but I can't help but feel sombre on occasion when I reflect on the state of the world. Another great video Joey
Dude this is the best one yet. Hit home with me. Made so much sense. Made me realize I get depressed when things are easy and going good. Doesn't make sense but you seem to get it
I think existential depression is when you don't know what you should be since there are a lotta options around, so you just dread it instead of making moves.
That doesn't sound like existential depression to me. Existential depression is like not being able to see the point in doing anything because nothing really matters beyond its own existence.
Depression is not about being afraid, it's being bored with life, not finding anything that's worth spending an other second breathing.. because just 1minute in depression is so hard to go through.. and you do it for years and then it kills you..
Look at you. Not only did you not spend your life doing things that brought you unhappiness and just didn't feel like your path but now you're out here putting these videos out trying to help people and share things you've learned. It's dope. Shame on people who try to argue with that but then they're probably going through their own insecurities and fear and unresolved issues. You're awesome! I like how you break down some of these quotes and things you share because I wouldn't understand them right off so that's helpful. Love your videos bro
Last comment: 6:45 and on... I agree, some of the hardest times of our life, the struggle, keeps is feeling alive. When life is way too easy and repetitive life gets boring and can lead to depression. Living with some level of chaos can be enough to WAKE us up and keep going. ❤️
People have kids because they’re animals. It’s our most basic programming to want to breed. What put that programming there? That’s the real question, and you have to decide the answer. It’s a shit world, and it’s probably a shit God too. Breeding for a shit cause.
World is not only evil but there aren't even mates that are smart enough...Imagine having a low IQ child who will be chewed up and spat out...With a high IQ there is some protection.
tbh, i watch ppl work all day everyday n have a nice house car etc ... but they dont seem happy at all. id rather be homless n happy than rich n sad! THANKS JOEY !! LOVE YA MAN FROM Cleveland Ohio!
Reason depression is so common these days is the standard american diet. I started keto for other reasons and as a byproduct my depression went away. Never thought I would not need to live on Lexapro anymore!
Depression is so common in younger generations because we don't got to worry bout anything. Our Grandparents had to things worry about so mostly no one was depressed because they had no time to be depressed. I see it with my self. I'm mostly depressed when I don't have anything to do for days and sit at my home playing Videogames. As soon as I got something to do again and something to worry about it's all gone.
I love you Joey mental illness is no joke in a world full of lies I became selfless and lost my identity and was left with just being obsessed with Japan. It’s really hard to walk away from abuse especially after you’ve already grown accustomed to it.
I'm just glad I'm retired got money and a house paid off, so I just get up in the morning make coffee watch a little u tube and then go out for a drive taking pictures and filming interesting things just for a hobby, no plans for being a u tuber.but all and all I'm injoying my retirement and when summer hits I fire up my harley Davidson wide glide and I deserve it all after making ather people money for 43 years of suffering in factories.
Joey you are so genuine and what you say is so true !!!! I was left a single Mom of seven children after my daughter became a crime victim by her own father…. I would tell myself to take one day at a time because looking ahead I got petrified. Soon I realized 6 months had passed and we were going to be okay. I didn’t have time to be depressed and I always gave to the needy even though I only had a few dollars in my pocket and didn’t know where my next dollar was coming from.I was a hustler….. I would collect scrap metal to feed my kids for the day. God always watched over us. Now my daughter and my 6 sons are all grown and they are all great kids. Some of our best times were when the struggles were real. Really love your videos. I grew up back east and miss my hometown of Bensalem, right outside Philly.
Appreciate this video man looking forward to watching, I'm at a crossroad with where my life goes right now. You don't got to worry about posting often I appreciate every video.
Joey is living proof that people who do drugs today are not a waste of humanity as most people think. Some of those people are good people they just chose to escape reality for a moment. Drugs are just a moment people!
Alot of drug addicts are actually more intelligent that your average person. I use to use drugs to dumb myself down to the level of those around me. I didnt feel like i fit in unless i was high and dumbed down. Our minds work overtime and sometimes we just want a break , to shit it off for a moment...
lts not cut and dry. Everyone is a human but i don't recommend living with them or being too intimate until they clean up. Until then, liability to the max.
Joey, you mentioned how you believe all thoughts and addiction in particular has a life force and are beings in their own right. Can you please cover that some time?! I would love to hear your thoughts.
The comment you made about those professionals at Starbucks is 💯 true. I’ve been in the corporate world for about 15 years and 95% of my job is acting like I care about my job. I used to be miserable but now I laugh about it and treat it as a game. I’ve been, “quietly quitting,” for years and no one knows the better lol.
Thank you! I needed this video today, glad that I found it. I have to say that it's true that when you help others you feel way better. Depression is in my opinion lack of purpose. So you have to find it. Do random acts of kindness even if you feel down yourself. Also your words about fear resonated with me a lot. As someone struggling with anxiety I have to remind myself every day that fear of something is far worse than the thing itself that I'm anxious about. Thank you for including links for books as well.
You are correct, the society we live in has established unnatural systems that negatively impact us and control us. I wish I could just live in a comune and live off the land.
I was stalked by my manager while in the hospital in the CCU UNIT. She got a copy of my med records (I worked at a doctors office so it’s easy to get) While I was on short term disability ready to get back to work on a Thursday before my go back to work day Monday. I received a letter that they were letting me go!!! They found out my diagnosis. I miss working w the patients and how much better I was getting around still then Now I’m paralyzed w a heavy feeling of depression most days Credit card debt medical debt now on top of it
Thank you for making this brother❤ that’s exactly how I think too, the people that aren’t ‘mentally ill’ are the crazy ones! How does living in this sick and twisted world feel normal?!! Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone in my insanity
@@stringbender3 I used to have a physical poster of this profile pic. First time I ever did real LSD, he leaked out of the poster and started speaking to me😂
I really like your way of thinking. I can really relate to a lot of it. They have so many of us trapped in a mental slavery. They understand human psychology to such a high degree that they are able to manipulate us into thinking and behaving in certain ways.
Thank You just started the video but I'm sure it's going to be great. I could listen to how you break stuff down anytime. We have had a very similar pasts. I know if I just ran into on the street we would talk for days!!
Idk how I came across your vids but every single vid is so on point. Appreciate you and your dope ass advice, knowledge, wisdom and overall personality. Thanks Joey!
Fantastic ! This is such a good , helpful video for people who feel like they’re in a bit of a hole ! Like me some days ! I’ve watched this a few times .
Be authentic. Be considerate of others, especially those who are worse off than you. Dont let fear rule you. Stay mentally + physically stimulated. Add to your toolbox. Learn from your masters at every opportunity. Cheers Joey.
Bro, I did it! 88 hours of sheer terror. I will post more details in the coming weeks as my mind repairs itself. Don't anyone do heroin!!!!! Now to maintain being clean....
I think you touched on some powerful points in this video. I am a psychology student, and I completely agree with you about how sinister big pharma is. Where I disagree is where people might not have chemical imbalances. It's the same as if someone was born with some kind of deformity. I think medication is okay in those cases. however, the power of a solid philosophy for someone alongside therapy is invaluable. Stoicism, Buddhism, and even Christianity can be so helpful. You'd be surprised how much The Buddha and Jesus had in common, and I think it's a good introduction to eastern philosophy for western people. Also, although they ARE DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, psychedelics are very promising. I know this from personal experience and from alot of anecdotal evidence. Really appreciate your channel, man. Helps keep me sane in these stressful times. I also forgot to mention ,.why I think the philosophies I mentioned above are so important, is b cause they teach you to live with LESS and be happy with what really matters which is the exact opposite of what we're told our whole lives here in America which I think contributes a WHILE LOT to depression. You're a good person Joey. I am a very left leaning individual, too. But I have to say, I love your compassion, which the seemingly overt LACK of is what drove me away from the right wing side which I used to staunchly support.. but I'd have to says we'd probably very much disagree on politics. But keep being you, man.
@@shanesmith734 For sure with so many processed foods and now g m o's and non organic foods; could be why so many have chemical imbalances/depression also! If I eat junk food I feel awful for days afterwards and don't sleep well or think clearly.
I felt more happy and less fear when i was in a homeless shelter with my son once we got our appartment i feel more fucking depressed than ever so u hit the nail on the head in bit like u im happier when im trying to survive thinking like one day at a time he know what i mean.
Hi Joey! New vid yeaaaa! Nowdays, this is may be The most important subject on your channel yet! And thats lot to say. Depression, and mental health in general is the fastest way to drugs etc etc
Joey, I love listening to your livestreams, even listening later when I miss the live. I'm so hopeful that you will be very successful in whatever you do! ✨️
My way of coping with depression was to just cut everyone off, accept my loss and remain silent, and I am doing that to protect my own sanity. I also learn from the darkest years of my life was to know who my true friends are and know who are the fake ones. I also learn that dealing with financial hardships and mental breakdowns was a new challenge for a life advancement and life changing. Everything has a price, and it’s either cost me my money or my time, and I also know when a battle is not even worth it.
Amen at the "being at peace with myself"....I've worked all my life 3 jobs at some times ..and Excelled all the way to the top of the food chain when I was only 20 turning 21 I worked my butt off and learned a lot about life the world everything but when I became permanently disabled due to being a victim of domestic violence it was the training in my younger years from my family members especially my grandmother and grandfather that allowed me today.. to be the true hustler that I am and people always say I'm so sorry this happened to you well yeah that sucks but at the end of the day There's not a single situation you can put me in that I can't win at.. and for that I'm thankful and also if I don't see all sides of the world and the things in it and for me that means touch feel and seeing them how am I ever going to truly really relate to anyone or anything that's for me and how I look at my life changes and I've actually grown to appreciate them more than I ever would have thought..thanks again joey..from the Mississippi Gypsy in Jersey. Jessi
I wish i had the answer for depression. From my past experiences id have to say changing your environment, quitting alcohol is huge for me and eating less and healthier. Like cutting down sugar from your diet. All these things definitely help sustain a healthier mind set.
The world is crazy and cruel. It has to be this way. Nobody asks for prayers when times are good. That is truly heartbreaking. Pain is our ticket home.
You are very respurceful, Joey. And wise. We are definitely brsinwashed. And main stream media plays a big role. Getting us riled ip against each other. I believe the rich investors like Blackrock and Big Pharma are the ones running the show. So all of us more "common" people have to stick together, regardless of color or creed, and help each other out when we can.
I have learned to just ignore saying hateful comments of any kind for replying to hate it really does nothing but bring everyone down, you never know what someone is going through.
I recommend drying out mushrooms, then storing with bovida packs, pushups really do help, skullcap tea with honey, bee pollen and hemp protein!! Valerian root, damiana, backwoodz Thca flower
I float around like nothing is wrong and i am the happiest person ever. Its because of the book THE SECRET. i dont pay attention to anything but what I AM DOING. I take social media breaks and I am just becoming the Kindest most Graceful women ever. Im just on my own path and only a couple people understand. Nothing Bothers me.....mainly cuz i do and say things with purpose. ANYWAY....take care friend. Love Your Content
This is helpful. Your insights are awesome. Great Video Joey!!! This is why my dads marriages were failures. He had the women not working and it weirded them out. Stay relatively busy stay grounded and have good mental health.

I feel the same way about chemical imbalance. Your brain isn't messed up, it's your circumstances.
Am I the victim or the crime ! J perry Barlow /weir

What helped me more than anything was addressing my toxic shame. Everything is starting to come together nicely now that I’ve done that.
This guy gets it
This man is the big homie to the entire human race absolute legend. This guy is wat UA-cam is missing these days
Yeah Einstein nailed it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Couldn’t agree more with everything you said
💯 this guy shares alot of wisdom and common sense
You're correct this world is completely lost and depressed inside. We have no choice but to turn to God or lose ourselves.
Overcoming fear,anger and anxiety change our thinking showing kindness to other people.
Great wise words man, most depressed people simply lack a purpose and passion in life and depression is only a short phase of your life that will pass

I didnt feel like i fit in unless i was high and dumbed down. Our minds work overtime and sometimes we just want a break , to shit it off for a moment...
Joeys a cut above the regular homeless person & good for him. There’d be others like Joey , then there’s the rest
lts not cut and dry. Everyone is a human but i don't recommend living with them or being too intimate until they clean up.
Until then, liability to the max.
@@jonhutchinson2902Jon, I can relate to That. I may not be super Intelligent, but I need a break from time to time. I think we all do.
Joey, you mentioned how you believe all thoughts and addiction in particular has a life force and are beings in their own right. Can you please cover that some time?! I would love to hear your thoughts.
You’re a gem
Dude ! Keep it up :)
You rock Joey!! Keep up the good work, my friend..

Man, you are hitting me right now. I have felt the same way for so long. Like I'm on the outside looking in. Thinking, WTF is wrong with this world!
i am 65 and i like watching joey for a man his years i think i got his wisdom the hard way life is the best teacher
Joey you crack me up always! You need some internet opps to trash. I feel like your roasts would be epic. Another down to earth vid . Keep going !
😂
@@joeythegypsy N.Y. loves you always Joey! And Fuckin Free K floc 😭😭😭
The comment you made about those professionals at Starbucks is 💯 true. I’ve been in the corporate world for about 15 years and 95% of my job is acting like I care about my job. I used to be miserable but now I laugh about it and treat it as a game. I’ve been, “quietly quitting,” for years and no one knows the better lol.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Love this video
Thank you! I needed this video today, glad that I found it. I have to say that it's true that when you help others you feel way better. Depression is in my opinion lack of purpose. So you have to find it. Do random acts of kindness even if you feel down yourself. Also your words about fear resonated with me a lot. As someone struggling with anxiety I have to remind myself every day that fear of something is far worse than the thing itself that I'm anxious about. Thank you for including links for books as well.
Amazing video and insights bro, thank you
You are correct, the society we live in has established unnatural systems that negatively impact us and control us. I wish I could just live in a comune and live off the land.
I was stalked by my manager while in the hospital in the CCU UNIT. She got a copy of my med records (I worked at a doctors office so it’s easy to get)
While I was on short term disability ready to get back to work on a Thursday before my go back to work day Monday. I received a letter that they were letting me go!!! They found out my diagnosis. I miss working w the patients and how much better I was getting around still then
Now I’m paralyzed w a heavy feeling of depression most days
Credit card debt medical debt now on top of it
Just stumbled upon this video now and just wanted to say thank you posting it.

Thank you for making this brother❤ that’s exactly how I think too, the people that aren’t ‘mentally ill’ are the crazy ones! How does living in this sick and twisted world feel normal?!! Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone in my insanity
Love seeing all these Hendrix profile pictures
@@stringbender3 I used to have a physical poster of this profile pic. First time I ever did real LSD, he leaked out of the poster and started speaking to me😂
lol haha what'd he say@@normaljohn6035
I really like your way of thinking. I can really relate to a lot of it. They have so many of us trapped in a mental slavery. They understand human psychology to such a high degree that they are able to manipulate us into thinking and behaving in certain ways.
Thank You just started the video but I'm sure it's going to be great. I could listen to how you break stuff down anytime. We have had a very similar pasts. I know if I just ran into on the street we would talk for days!!
Felt like you spoke from my soul
Idk how I came across your vids but every single vid is so on point. Appreciate you and your dope ass advice, knowledge, wisdom and overall personality. Thanks Joey!
Your channel is a blessing man. Thanks
Come to South Africa and I will take you around my Bru. Graskop,Mpumalanga A small town close to everything 😅
This is some real talk wow
Fantastic !
This is such a good , helpful video for people who feel like they’re in a bit of a hole !
Like me some days !
I’ve watched this a few times .
JOEY THE SAMURAI
Be authentic. Be considerate of others, especially those who are worse off than you. Dont let fear rule you. Stay mentally + physically stimulated. Add to your toolbox. Learn from your masters at every opportunity. Cheers Joey.
Bro, I did it! 88 hours of sheer terror. I will post more details in the coming weeks as my mind repairs itself. Don't anyone do heroin!!!!! Now to maintain being clean....
Good for you. Keep going.
Wish I could kick the fent. Don’t know how anyone has the sheer will to face that devil. C
how did it go till now?
It's a Life Long battle!!! One day at a time. God Bless You.🙏
2 mins into the video and ik youre a real one
I think you touched on some powerful points in this video. I am a psychology student, and I completely agree with you about how sinister big pharma is. Where I disagree is where people might not have chemical imbalances. It's the same as if someone was born with some kind of deformity. I think medication is okay in those cases. however, the power of a solid philosophy for someone alongside therapy is invaluable. Stoicism, Buddhism, and even Christianity can be so helpful. You'd be surprised how much The Buddha and Jesus had in common, and I think it's a good introduction to eastern philosophy for western people.
Also, although they ARE DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, psychedelics are very promising. I know this from personal experience and from alot of anecdotal evidence.
Really appreciate your channel, man. Helps keep me sane in these stressful times.
I also forgot to mention ,.why I think the philosophies I mentioned above are so important, is b cause they teach you to live with LESS and be happy with what really matters which is the exact opposite of what we're told our whole lives here in America which I think contributes a WHILE LOT to depression.
You're a good person Joey. I am a very left leaning individual, too. But I have to say, I love your compassion, which the seemingly overt LACK of is what drove me away from the right wing side which I used to staunchly support.. but I'd have to says we'd probably very much disagree on politics. But keep being you, man.
Also, not to mention our diets are TERRIBLE here.
@@shanesmith734 For sure with so many processed foods and now g m o's and non organic foods; could be why so many have chemical imbalances/depression also! If I eat junk food I feel awful for days afterwards and don't sleep well or think clearly.
Your take on it is right my friend! It's no wonder so many ppl are depressed.
Great video Joey. Makes me see things differently.
That brick wall of self-importance is everywhere these days
Found my passion in defi and havent looked back
Following your passion is easy
Finding your passion is the hard part
I felt more happy and less fear when i was in a homeless shelter with my son once we got our appartment i feel more fucking depressed than ever so u hit the nail on the head in bit like u im happier when im trying to survive thinking like one day at a time he know what i mean.
Hi Joey! New vid yeaaaa!
Nowdays, this is may be The most important subject on your channel yet! And thats lot to say.
Depression, and mental health in general is the fastest way to drugs etc etc
Yes i have bad anxiety i hate & depression 😢😢 but GOD has me 💯🙏❤️🙏
Keep preachin' bro. Yours is one of my favorite channels
Ever noticed North Face backpacks have a built in whistle? Just found that out last weekend
Yep.
Reminds me of the Tom Waits song I don’t want to grow up. That song is a reminder to me of everything in this life that I don’t want to.
For me work and exercise is the cure all for everything.
Joey, I love listening to your livestreams, even listening later when I miss the live. I'm so hopeful that you will be very successful in whatever you do! ✨️
My way of coping with depression was to just cut everyone off, accept my loss and remain silent, and I am doing that to protect my own sanity. I also learn from the darkest years of my life was to know who my true friends are and know who are the fake ones. I also learn that dealing with financial hardships and mental breakdowns was a new challenge for a life advancement and life changing. Everything has a price, and it’s either cost me my money or my time, and I also know when a battle is not even worth it.
Amen at the "being at peace with myself"....I've worked all my life 3 jobs at some times ..and Excelled all the way to the top of the food chain when I was only 20 turning 21 I worked my butt off and learned a lot about life the world everything but when I became permanently disabled due to being a victim of domestic violence it was the training in my younger years from my family members especially my grandmother and grandfather that allowed me today.. to be the true hustler that I am and people always say I'm so sorry this happened to you well yeah that sucks but at the end of the day There's not a single situation you can put me in that I can't win at.. and for that I'm thankful and also if I don't see all sides of the world and the things in it and for me that means touch feel and seeing them how am I ever going to truly really relate to anyone or anything that's for me and how I look at my life changes and I've actually grown to appreciate them more than I ever would have thought..thanks again joey..from the Mississippi Gypsy in Jersey.

I wish i had the answer for depression. From my past experiences id have to say changing your environment, quitting alcohol is huge for me and eating less and healthier. Like cutting down sugar from your diet. All these things definitely help sustain a healthier mind set.
hey man i really feel the same like you. everybody always tells me to get a safe job but i like skating and being free in the streets.
You are talking sense. Thanks for another interesting post. Blessings for your year ahead.
✌🏻☘️
The world is crazy and cruel. It has to be this way. Nobody asks for prayers when times are good. That is truly heartbreaking. Pain is our ticket home.
You are very respurceful, Joey. And wise. We are definitely brsinwashed. And main stream media plays a big role. Getting us riled ip against each other. I believe the rich investors like Blackrock and Big Pharma are the ones running the show. So all of us more "common" people have to stick together, regardless of color or creed, and help each other out when we can.
Thanx Joey...I stumbled upon your vids when u first started... thank u for letting me know there r real people out there...jessi
Last 5 mins was gold bro. 100. I feel like everyone needs to hear this right now. Its all pure truth in the end.
I have learned to just ignore saying hateful comments of any kind for replying to hate it really does nothing but bring everyone down, you never know what someone is going through.
Love your content bro all the way from New Zealand.
I recommend drying out mushrooms, then storing with bovida packs, pushups really do help, skullcap tea with honey, bee pollen and hemp protein!! Valerian root, damiana, backwoodz Thca flower
I float around like nothing is wrong and i am the happiest person ever. Its because of the book THE SECRET. i dont pay attention to anything but what I AM DOING. I take social media breaks and I am just becoming the Kindest most Graceful women ever. Im just on my own path and only a couple people understand. Nothing Bothers me.....mainly cuz i do and say things with purpose. ANYWAY....take care friend. Love Your Content
Came just in time man, been feelin depressed as fuck lately. Love your videos man, keep it going.
my favorite youtuber
This is helpful. Your insights are awesome. Great Video Joey!!! This is why my dads marriages were failures. He had the women not working and it weirded them out. Stay relatively busy stay grounded and have good mental health.
Ur 100 % right #1 the system design to keep us down and #2 the left or the right like tucker carson aren't helping us to stay com and sain
