@@JonathanS344 Keep in mind bro, it isn't a really a choice you can decide to make neccesarily and you don't really think of how or who it might affect when it comes to ending your life, the asspect or ending your suffering as in depression or hopelessness is all that is considered when in a terrifying state like that.
Suicide is selfish, but isnt it just as selfish to say someone should be alive because you might feel bad by their passing? Its like saying someone is selfish because they didnt prioritize you first in their choices, like bruh what?
@@JonathanS344 Would you do anything meaningful to save them from their state of mental illness? If you could, then why didn't you do anything before they reached that point? Will you be there to help them build a mentally/spiritually unshakable foundation afterwards? If the answer is no, then you're not in a position to judge a man for permanently ending their mental torture through suicide, one of the most soul shattering experiences to even attempt. Unless you HAVE mentally reached that point before and have seriously acted on it, you will never empathize/understand with the mental state a person is in that pushes them over the edge to leave everything behind. You probably know someone right now who you think is alright who may be at that point where they only have that one thing in this world that seems like a worthwhile reason to put it off for another day. Just imagine how many people only have that one game, one pet, one musician, one book author, or one person that's actively in their life they go back to at the end of the day to just barely keep their mental stability from plummeting to a transcendent place where you go from your normal depressed thoughts of "eh... it could be worse..." to "Does the DEA intercept Nembutal shipments from overseas?". Even down to the oddities that transpire before the attempt like cleaning your room to a surgical level, giving the local kid in your neighborhood that $200 skateboard you put together yourself, the deep pleasure you find from seeing the geese/ducks walk by the local church since you know they have each other to rely on at the end of the day, etc. At the end of the day, the ones they left behind are still breathing. They're still strong enough mentally/spiritually to keep on living for a brighter tomorrow and will take the necessary steps to heal. The same can't be said for the one whose brighter tomorrow was only feasible for them in the afterlife, especially if they were already being treated for their condition before their passing. Jonathan, I pray you do get to experience what he experienced before he left. And when you do, I want you to see someone say "I can't believe how selfish that person is. How could they do that to everyone else". I hope it burns you to your very core to the point where you feel your tongue trying to jump out of your throat in utter turmoil, reaffirming that you too are a failure of a person for considering it. For everybody else however, I wish all the blessings in this world and may peace finally embrace them whether its in this life or the next.
Obviously, there is more to it than just the people you affect, I understand that. I didn't mean any harm when I made those comments, I was simply reflecting on the effects of the act. I know full well that it is deeper than just the effect it has on the people around you. I should've been more clear in my previous comment no need to flip out.
@@JaboodyEnthusiast That is not the point I was making. I deleted my comment because clearly, I wasn't transparent enough. I know full well the effects of depression, I am speaking from a perspective that has been at a true low in my life, however, from looking back at my situation I felt like it is the most selfish thing I could've done. The people around me cared for me deeply yet I was too caught up in my situation to fully see that. I am solely speaking from my experiences and I don't accept at all that everyone feels the same.
I listened to this live while grocery shopping yesterday and when Mitch told the story about his brother, I was in tears. This is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen on the internet. Going from the beginning to the end is such a journey. I had no idea who this kid was, but I respect and feel for him so much. Thank you both for being so wonderful and open.
It was indeed emotionally intense for everyone. I had to take a moment and pause the stream feeling all his pain and grief from the trauma of seeing his brother get taken away, the loss of Reckful, etc…. Was not expecting to get that emotional but that is what connects us- our shared humanity. He’s done a lot of work this past year on himself and hope he continues to heal through his music and art. Mitch is a good person and I’m glad I know about him now.
Yeah the brother story hit me really hard. Especially when he mentioned the (was it Gameboy?) part. That his brother had a save file or something and he did 100% and it was named after Mitch. I just cried a river there.
@@bs_blackscout He spoke about this, in a similar state, on his watchmeblink stream a bit over a year ago (before Reckful passed IIRC). He said the save file was called "I love my brother Mitch" or something of the like. Tore me to fuckin shreds.
There's so many layers of pain behind Mitch's words man. It's always so brutal to see how much emotional distress and trauma can blind you from taking the steps you need to heal thus leading to such a lonely and grey point in your life. I hope Mitch finds the peace that he needs.
It's tough when social media companies profit off user screen time/ad revenue. They've designed their algorithms to take advantage of the addiction factor in human psychology.
This man: I've never heard of him until just now, he's made completely different decisions in life, he looks completely different than me, he grew up in a completely different household and cultural background, he's been dealt a completely different set of cards - but when he broke down in tears and I saw his facial expression, his gestures, the way he tried to talk but couldn't - I've never felt more connected and more related to someone as far as I can remember.
no one will ever know what dr.K, reckful, and mitchy J "the law" did for me with these interviews. I wouldn't be here without them. And ps. mitch, dr.K is right about finding happiness in a mental hospital, and I can attest that falling in love with the atmosphere there is 100% possible. That's the reason I decided to leave this comment. The song "No in-between" really struck a chord with me on a deep level. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 last year and spent a couple weeks in a mental hospital and I couldn't have been more surprised about how enjoyable it was for me. pss. your EP took me back with the pop punk vibes and the lyrics really hit with me. "up and down with no in -between" basically sums up bipolar 1. I was lying in bed this morning listening to it over and over. thank you for making a great song that feels 100% written for me.
Bro I feel like this dude doesn't give good advice.. Like hes only good to talk about easy stuff. I've seen it two other times like when people start to get deep with him he tries to avoid to conversation or just completely shuts it down like right here with Mitch. Dude poor guy! He should be getting great advice. Mitch should go get his brother! This is so sad and this dude is totally not helping... Usually when you feel bad about something the pain subsides because of time and because you can't do anything about it. Usually the pain still hurts when you can do something about it. Poor Mitch dude he should go and be with his family. He has to much on his shoulders it's not fair for him. Meanwhile his dad is off god knows where doing Fxxxall it's not right!
@@about823jews i think dr k does very well and mitch does too. Dr k is not there to switch a flip and heal him to full. He shows the doors, which ones he can open, laying a groundwork to help himself, think, like a map designer. Guiding him to a certain point. But the gameplay and the rest, to stay in "gamer terms" is still to Mitch himself. Help others help themselves. Even just talking about it, open the box, putting it there. Finding the right spots, they clearly did! Dr k cant give advices and solutions on a silver plate, if it was that easy there wouldn't be a so much mental health problems going on.
@@about823jews Dr k is not his therapist. This is in a public setting and he sees that Mitch does not want to fully open up to the public due to his inner struggles. Personally I would not want to open up everything to the public if I were a public figure, and I guarantee you wouldn't as well.
Mad fucken respect for Mitch. No one would ever share something that deep live. My heart goes out for him. I know he will get better and eventually he will be able to properly take care of his brother and mother. You got this Mitch. Keep it up.
So much pain and grief you can feel it through the screen. This had me crying to the point of needing to take a momemt myself and get some Kleenex. So sad about what happened to his brother- that hit me hard since it brought up feelings of loosing someone from my past also. Virtual hug. Lot's of respect for Mitch on walking away from lucrative streaming and making a career change.
At 58:38 for a few minutes when talking about his brother and mom I can't help but hear Reckful in his cadence. Listen to how he talks it's like he used the way Reckful talked when explaining things as a subconscious comfort to be able to express himself, it's sad and wholesome. He really loved the guy.
That's what I've kept thinking at multiple points in this video. At first I was like, WHO is he reminding me of??? And then I realized it was Reckful...an unconscious thing he probably isn't even aware of that shows how close the two of them truly were.
As someone with a profoundly disabled sister i can relate to this 100%, what happened to his brother is what I'm terrified could happen to my sister... the responsibility and the powerlessness he feels must be absolutely soul crushing, he has all my respect for getting it out there
I love that I can hear Reckful's inflections in Mitch's words. Mitch really carries reckful with him and is working to bring so much good to this world.
I really appreciate when Doc asks if he can think. I saw a therapist when I was younger and he would get quiet and all I could think was "am I fucking this up?" It never occurred to me he might have been thinking. Seems silly now, but... One of those small touches that shows a lot of thoughtfulness and care.
This was the most powerful thing I have ever seen on the internet. His vulnerability is everything. It touched something in me and I cried with him. I hope he knows how impactful it is that he opened up in this way. Love you Mitch! You got this bubba.
Man the more I think about it, maybe Reckful reminded Mitch of his brother and his hopelessness of being able to help him correlated to his brothers situation. Must have been soul destroying. Much love to you Mitch, you'll pull through this.
Reckful was so incredibly important to me, and mitch was too. We forget sometimes the events that took place. Mitch did very childish things, Reckful was mentally unstable. Reckful cutting Mitch out destroyed him. I remember live streams when he would come on and have breakdowns and cry after he and Reckful split ways. I am sure he always thought there was time to fix his relationship, Now he's a very sad individual, I am happy he has found this path.
Mitch is such a strong dude, i have so much shit inside myself i struggle with aswell that i havent talked about in details with anyone... i need this aswell... Thank you Mitch for sharing!
Man I don’t know if you’ll ever see this Mitch, but I’m so damn proud of you, and thank you for sharing this. Videos like this really helped me to finally seek help after 33 years of life. Thank you, and hope the best for you and your healing! ❤
This was rough to watch in a good way. I can relate a lot to his brother in this story and I think that his brother will welcome him with open arms when he is ready to help him.
man what a good guy. the bitterness of being let down by the world is a tough thing to let go, all the best to him and everyone going through the same thing.
Mitch talking about the song he made is so relatable, the guilt that a person goes through when a friend takes their life, especially when they are so close to them. Its a really hard journey to undertake. Eventually, you learn that you can only help people so much, and how they chose their outcome is up to them, being at peace with the idea that you did what you can to help, and letting go of the inner guilt. Because you will always feel like you could have done more, even if you gave 200% of your being to help them. You can feel that there were better ways, better things to say, better ways to act, how you could have been more reliable or available. Honestly, I look forward to hearing that song. I truthfully hope that he finds the moment of enlightenment which allows him to move past the self guilt, because it sounds like it still is there inside him, and I believe he understands that as well. I wish the best for Mitch
These 3 were some of the best talks on this channel, all 3 of them. I mean I've seen almost every single interview they posted to the UA-cam, and there are quite a few that kinda compete as also really good. But these are in the top 10 probably. Definitely the top 20. So many are tied as amazing to me tbh. So many stick with me. I'd have to count. This was ridiculously powerful. The pain Mitch is in is so intense to bear witness to. It's kinda like a special case. So many people who have been through so much trauma don't burst into this kind of crying the way he does but it's a special kind of loving soul to be able to feel this much pain about the two family members he loves so much and to not have become truly numb in defense. To still feel so much is something I think some people kinda are a little envious of in a weird way. If he can feel this much pain imagine how much positive emotion he has the capacity to feel too if only he could heal even just some of the hurt and process it. It's just... wow.
Damn... I only discovered who Mitch is recently and this conversation hits home so hard, I was unaware of the hardships this genuine, beautiful soul of a man is dealing with.. If Mitch or anyone else struggling through things reads this, keep your head above the water homies and take everything a day at a time. I'm right there with you all... we got this. Much love from down under
Mitch Jones is a hero for sharing all of this. I cannot believe the level of raw emotion that's here, and if anyone wants to know what it's like to have it hard, and to still succeed and be brave, look no further than Mitch. Respect for this, and respect to Doctor K, his pacing of psychological direction is impeccable. I learnt a lot today.
I've cried in almost all of the interviewers I've seen here but this was by far the most powerful one. It's so heartbreaking to know that someone went through all of this and kept it inside and dealt with it all alone. I'm glad he's getting better and I'm hopeful too, he's clearly very strong and an inspiration to me to keep going and be better
I know I am two years late on this but I just wanted to tell Mitch if he comes back to this ever, that he already has connected with so many people, music aside. I didn't know him before this, but I won't forget this interview. Bless you on your journey.
When you show your true self, And become vulnerable, your actually living your strongest reality. Criticism, and insults are passed as a gift. You have the choice to accept the gift or not. Most comments a person makes is a reflection of themselves or for attention in which they lack. If your true to yourself vulnerability doesn't matter because you know the truth. Yet, it may matter if the information they give is something you want to change about yourself causing a conflict inside your reality of who you are vs who you want to be. Love these videos. Thank you, and best of luck everyone on their personal journeys.
Not sure if you'll ever see this, but you helped me by telling your story. I'm going to make better choices starting today. I stop running away today. Thank you
Wow. This might be the realest conversation on the internet. It's easy to see Mitch is on a journey to better himself and that's just fuckin inspiring. All love and healing to Mitch and his family. Thank you Dr. K for this
I'm so thankfull Mitch was brave enough to share this, on the fkn Internet, for us to watch and to connect. Holy shit, so much respect to him. Hope he gets happy 🙏
This made me damn cry like a baby, someone with Clinical Depression, multiple attempts at suicide, chronic anxiety, chronic migraine, no friends. This hit home hard, specially the being the one to carry all the weight, because I take care of my sick mother, I am 29 years old, all my life I took care of her, when none of her other kids have (brother and two sisters)
I think Mitch was also living as a persona and he let that persona die. He started feeling the negative things he needed to feel to move forward. Really appreciate that man. I'm going through similar sh*t
These interviews with Mitch always hit hard. The betrayal, loneliness, being misunderstood, lack of trust & afraid of trusting, yearning for a real genuine connection with another soul.... Even though I'm 10 years older than he is, I 1000% can relate to how he feels in the world. I hope he continues his introspective work & he crosses paths & connects with his kindred spirit. 💚
Mitch... You've grown so much. I can see your true self/authentic self so deeply within this video, It is truly beautiful... It made me really happy seeing you push to embrace your true self and not run away from your reality/trauma anymore after such a long journey of building a "success mask." Thank you, Mitch
Thanks for opening up mitch, love to u and ur brother. I have asperger's too and I'm certain your brother greatly appreciates you even if he cant communicate it. It sounds like you mean a whole lot to him. Had a good cry watching this, thanks for sharing
Man this was really powerful. I had to pull into a parking lot to cry for a few minutes when Mitch started to open up. I really hope he continues to grow and heal, he seems like such a decent person. You know, I usually don't like streamer interviews but oddly enough this really didn't feel like one.
You don’t know how many people you’re helping through these videos. Thank you Mitch for you’re vulnerability and thank you Dr. K for everything you’re doing.
holy shit, I've teared up a few times during Dr K's streams, but this was super super real. Thanks for being vulnereable mitch. You're on the right path to healing.
This talk really reminded me there are people out there who are going through much harder stuff than I am. It's easy to feel alone af with your problems and think you're the only one who's suffering, but that's absolutely not the case.
I respect Mitch so much for this. There's so much power and strength in being able to sit with what seems like inconceivable pain, for even just 20 seconds. Being able to face that so honestly is powerful.
And this is it Mitch! You being authentic, sharing whats really inside, instead of masking your pain to the world, you get aloooot of love! Im so thankfull for you comming on here sharing this. I get so much affection and empathy towards you, your current and past situation!
I was in tears listening to that story with his brother, man, fuck, I just wanted to put my arm around him. I really hope something can be done to get his brother out of that facility, it sounds like hell.
What an incredible interview. Mitch you truly are such a strong human being. Listening to your story was a very powerful experience. I wish you all the best.
This video is so powerful. I realized how weak I am. The feelings that are killing mitch also kill me, but on a smaller scale. If those feelings are slashing a big hole in mitch's soul, then a small hole is stabbed in mine when listening to mitch. From this new found awareness, I realized I am not as strong or could be as helpful as I thought I was. I feel more put in my place and limited. At the same time, I feel very blessed to have found this new found enlightenment. Much gratitude to this video and for DR. K for being strong to keep taking all those stabs whether big or small. I found out how weak I am and how strong DR. K is.
Please keep doing this with Mitch, i think a lot of People can relate with him and he also really needs it, in the past i thought he ist just a weird clowny guy, but now i fully understand him.
@Michael some psychopaths are so insane they suggest wildly negativistic and defeatist things like: "All people have some narcissistic tendencies" and "there is no treatment for narcissism" Might as well tell a drug addict "Everyone's doin' it, man! Besides, it's not possible to become sober." If a therapist was recorded saying that they would be in court.
I had such a bad opinion of Mitch when some of the Reckful+Mira drama was going on. It really goes to show that you never know completely what is going on with people when you see their relationship play out in public. I had to pause this video several times because I understand how heavy some of the situatoins that he dealt with are and it's caused me to understand and respect him so much more than I did years ago. Thank you for doing this, both of you.
Bro I feel for him so much, what happened to his brother wasn’t his fault despite the fact that he was forced to go through with it (all alone and against his will mind you). how can someone at such a young age understand how to avoid such a shitty situation let alone navigate it, simultaneously while focusing on his career, severely ill mother, struggling brother and broken family…. Jesus no wonder he’s been so hurt for so long- I can’t believe his father just dipped when he needed him most in that situation … I hope that he’ll be able to reach out to his brother and care for him, and I really hope he’s able to find peace with his past and understand that’s the past molds you but the present makes you- the mistakes that he has made don’t define him, but what he learns from them do. I wish him the best of luck on his journey.
Mitch. This IS authentic. Maybe I'm nobody, but I'm watching. I feel some of the pain you feel, and I emapthize with you. Vulnerability hurts but you have to look inside and allow people to help for you to heal.
We are not alone...we're just scared because of our past experience and keep seeing the world only through a wounded experience. Letting true friendship touch you, and opening up for love is difficult but worth it. We can love ourselves enough to accept help.
I hope Mitch knows what he did here was marvelously powerful. He's a remarkable [person with a beautiful soul. I hope he and his brother can reunite and find their peace.
Reminds me of my brother going through mental hospitals and now a permanent facility. It sucks so bad and I relate to my family not really being there for him, it's mainly up to me. Feels like they gave up on him at 17 when they made him a ward of the state. And the meds don't help he needs his family.
This is why you never judge someone on outward appearance until you sit down and really talk to someone you won't realise how much people from all walks of life feel just as bad as everyone else
“I still DM his Twitter like he’s still there” I lost my best friend Jesse suddenly and abruptly(you can find videos featuring him on my channel and see what kinda kid he was)his “parents” had him cremated, took his ashes, and took all of his belongings and I haven’t heard from this since his wake. He didn’t even get a funeral. It was like he disappeared overnight. I know exactly how you feel, man. I message Jesse’s Facebook like he’s still there, all the time. I’ll call his phone and leave him messages, let him know how I’m doing, etc. you’re not alone brother. Keep on fighting the mental fight.
Dr. K and all of the personalities that interact with him in this format are doing really impactful work here. It's very impressive that they can do this in front of so many people. It shows us that it's okay to open up and it helps us understand our own situations as well when we can compare our own lives to the lives of the people that go on Dr. K's show. Thank you so much Dr. K and all personalities that collaborate with you!
i didn't expect to cry today and not like this but Mitch , man , this hit me hard and you deserve all the hugs and support in the world.I believe in your new found journey and you don't have to walk alone.I am sure of it and believe in you.
I've never really known much about Mitch, I knew he was in the community and friends with people I had watched but yeah.. I really hope he can become happier with himself, find the peace he needs. I find it so bizarre at how many people you can look up to have so much hidden suffering in their life, I may not be rich, but im not poor, I may not be super close to my dad (as far as hugging and saying I love you, which i find hard saying I love you to my mother also, no idea why) but i do love my dad and he loves me, hes a huge inspiration to me & role model, aswell as my very supportive mom, they brought me up well and gave me a a good life, these are the things you never really appreciate on a day to day basis until you see videos like this where people who you think have it all really dont and if anything suffer more then you do.. I have 1 or 2 good friends in my life, the rest disappeared after highschool. Nothing in your life is your fault Mitch.. your mom your brother your dad, and the loss of Reckful.. none of it is, its just the cards you're dealt in life & its incredibly unfair.. youll get better and find yourself, love you Mitch.
Mitch, thank you for sharing, I felt the intensity of your emotions extremely powerfully and I wish you well. Also, Dr.K, you guided Mitch like a true gladiator
I'm terrified of going to therapy. Every person I've ever gotten close too or opened up enough to share my weaknesses and vulnerability, the very next thing they do is use it against me. Talking to a therapist feels like giving the enemies free bullets to shoot at me.
There are a lot of people in the world who have nothing until you give them something and then they turn it against you. They are pathetic. Some of them are therapists. You have to keep interviewing therapists until you find the right one. Pretend you are the employer and you are looking for the right employee. You could even make a "job description" (not to show to them, but to have in mind). Don't take it personally if they also have a "client description" and tell you they don't think you are a fit. You'll find someone and you may be surprised at who they are when you do. For me, the best was a retired ballet dancer who was a disciple of a famous Indian guru. I do not resonate with "famous Indian gurus" but she never tried to push that and what she did have, like Doc K has, was an understanding of how important spirituality and art were. My "job description" was totally filled to overflowing, but it didn't look anything like I thought it would. I found others after she retired and none were as good as she was . . . but each one served a purpose.
You’re only struggling now so you can give more wisdom and have better peace of mind in the future. You will have a better sense of self than most other people. Things will come with good karma and patience. Things happen for a reason and god is fucked in the head if he’s real but how could we ever understand that if he was real
I won't go in detail of how therapist won't do that because they are licensed and shit, that's true but that's not the point. There's a difference in lowering your defense and getting stabbed because you did not see it coming, and there's a difference in getting stabbed knowing that could happen. In the latter case, it means that you take responsibility for your pain and embrace it, if it will come. Lowering your defenses is not a mistake, it's the basic stuff that we all need to do in order to connect with others. If you get stabbed, it's not your fault: you must do what you gotta do, there are no other ways. If bad stuff happens, then you will be prepared for it. We must shift from "what if this bad thing happens?" to "if this thing happens, then I will do A. If it doesn't work I will do B, C, D etc.". It is the only way to progress in life.
It's not because a therapist can't tell people what you tell them. The only time they can say anything is to the authorities if you talk about offing yourself, harming others, things like that. Yeah, it's a scary thought, but it can help. You don't have to open up about everything right away. There are crappy therapists and good ones, you just have to find the right person.
Wow, this is the 1st time I've cried while watching a Dr. K interview. I struggle with the feeling that there's no place for emotional intimacy now, so it was cathartic just to be able to watch Mitch be vulnerable and know that others are connecting with him. I hope he makes good progress!
Mitch jones always knew what it was like to struggle with life I always suspected he was battling mild intermittent depression on and off but he never really spoke about it because he would always feel better a couple of weeks later but after Bryon died he realised he had to battle his mental health issues straight on instead of hiding them. Pretty transformative story.
WOW! This really hit me hard, I hope mitch reads this, I don't really know what he's gone through, but I have had similar experiences that made me feel the same way. Hearing him talk about this actually makes me feel more normal, so thanks mitch.
This was so powerful, beautiful and helpful! Words can't describe how grateful I am for Mitch and Dr K for sharing this with us ♥️ I've struggled with finding my way back to my emotions for a few months. Being able to be fully authentic and listen to my own core I guess you could say. And this helped me so much. All I wanted to do was give Mitch a hug. And say that I feel so helped and not alone. The amount of work this guy has done is purely amazing and so damn inspiring! I haven't followed Mitch Twitch or watched anything besides Dr K interviews but I still feel deeply proud. Like a fellow human type of proud. And I want to like celebrate the growth that's happened. It just truly warms my heart. THIS is why I strive to work with people, starting with becoming an addiction therapist. Seeing this growth is so damn beautiful! It fills up my soul ☀️ Thank you for sharing this, from the bottom of my heart ♥️ Imagine the world we would live in if content on the internet and conversations irl like this was the norm ♥️♥️
@@iPostiPodiEatiYuri I think we have all the possibilities to create that freedom. In some countries obv its alot harder and safety always comes first. But in many countries its mostly fear that holds us back.
Duuuuude the authenticity of this dude and the pain he shared resonated so welllll with me I'm so glad he opened up. My absolute favorite interview now. Hope he finds a good therapist and double hope he hits me up if he feels lonely again :D
So powerful and inspiring for someone with such pain to share their experience giving others the courage to do the same. Much love brother your story alone has impacted so many people already you're never alone.
"I still DM his twitter now and then, like he's still there"
man this hit me HARD

I hope it burns you to your very core to the point where you feel your tongue trying to jump out of your throat in utter turmoil, reaffirming that you too are a failure of a person for considering it. For everybody else however, I wish all the blessings in this world and may peace finally embrace them whether its in this life or the next.
Obviously, there is more to it than just the people you affect, I understand that. I didn't mean any harm when I made those comments, I was simply reflecting on the effects of the act. I know full well that it is deeper than just the effect it has on the people around you. I should've been more clear in my previous comment no need to flip out.
@@JaboodyEnthusiast That is not the point I was making. I deleted my comment because clearly, I wasn't transparent enough. I know full well the effects of depression, I am speaking from a perspective that has been at a true low in my life, however, from looking back at my situation I felt like it is the most selfish thing I could've done. The people around me cared for me deeply yet I was too caught up in my situation to fully see that. I am solely speaking from my experiences and I don't accept at all that everyone feels the same.
I listened to this live while grocery shopping yesterday and when Mitch told the story about his brother, I was in tears. This is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen on the internet. Going from the beginning to the end is such a journey. I had no idea who this kid was, but I respect and feel for him so much. Thank you both for being so wonderful and open.
It was indeed emotionally intense for everyone. I had to take a moment and pause the stream feeling all his pain and grief from the trauma of seeing his brother get taken away, the loss of Reckful, etc…. Was not expecting to get that emotional but that is what connects us- our shared humanity.
He’s done a lot of work this past year on himself and hope he continues to heal through his music and art. Mitch is a good person and I’m glad I know about him now.
Yeah the brother story hit me really hard. Especially when he mentioned the (was it Gameboy?) part. That his brother had a save file or something and he did 100% and it was named after Mitch. I just cried a river there.
its like a sad movie except its real shit so its so much sadder
@@bs_blackscout He spoke about this, in a similar state, on his watchmeblink stream a bit over a year ago (before Reckful passed IIRC). He said the save file was called "I love my brother Mitch" or something of the like. Tore me to fuckin shreds.
Yeah. I don't mind streamers coming on if they actually have tough issues they're dealing with
There's so many layers of pain behind Mitch's words man. It's always so brutal to see how much emotional distress and trauma can blind you from taking the steps you need to heal thus leading to such a lonely and grey point in your life.
I hope Mitch finds the peace that he needs.
@@nolabets3130 Its always the time. People die when you wait.
he's nothing but a clout chasing narcissist who uses everyone and abuses everyone around him.
"You have too much living to do to be pretending to live." This hit me like a truck...
It's tough when social media companies profit off user screen time/ad revenue. They've designed their algorithms to take advantage of the addiction factor in human psychology.
That hit me when I watched the Matrix
Can you explain more what that means
As an old Reckful and Mitch viewer, it's impressive how much Mitch has matured. Proud of him
Yeah it's weird to see, as he has really taken time out to mature himself and better himself. Proud of him and hope he does well.
100% it’s amazing to see ! So brave
He spoke about Byron and I couldn’t
LOL
This man: I've never heard of him until just now, he's made completely different decisions in life, he looks completely different than me, he grew up in a completely different household and cultural background, he's been dealt a completely different set of cards - but when he broke down in tears and I saw his facial expression, his gestures, the way he tried to talk but couldn't - I've never felt more connected and more related to someone as far as I can remember.
no one will ever know what dr.K, reckful, and mitchy J "the law" did for me with these interviews. I wouldn't be here without them. And ps. mitch, dr.K is right about finding happiness in a mental hospital, and I can attest that falling in love with the atmosphere there is 100% possible. That's the reason I decided to leave this comment. The song "No in-between" really struck a chord with me on a deep level. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 last year and spent a couple weeks in a mental hospital and I couldn't have been more surprised about how enjoyable it was for me. pss. your EP took me back with the pop punk vibes and the lyrics really hit with me. "up and down with no in -between" basically sums up bipolar 1. I was lying in bed this morning listening to it over and over. thank you for making a great song that feels 100% written for me.
Bro I feel like this dude doesn't give good advice.. Like hes only good to talk about easy stuff. I've seen it two other times like when people start to get deep with him he tries to avoid to conversation or just completely shuts it down like right here with Mitch. Dude poor guy! He should be getting great advice. Mitch should go get his brother! This is so sad and this dude is totally not helping...
Usually when you feel bad about something the pain subsides because of time and because you can't do anything about it. Usually the pain still hurts when you can do something about it. Poor Mitch dude he should go and be with his family. He has to much on his shoulders it's not fair for him. Meanwhile his dad is off god knows where doing Fxxxall it's not right!
@@about823jews he’s not supposed to give advice
@@about823jews i think dr k does very well and mitch does too. Dr k is not there to switch a flip and heal him to full. He shows the doors, which ones he can open, laying a groundwork to help himself, think, like a map designer. Guiding him to a certain point. But the gameplay and the rest, to stay in "gamer terms" is still to Mitch himself. Help others help themselves. Even just talking about it, open the box, putting it there. Finding the right spots, they clearly did! Dr k cant give advices and solutions on a silver plate, if it was that easy there wouldn't be a so much mental health problems going on.
@@about823jews Dr k is not his therapist. This is in a public setting and he sees that Mitch does not want to fully open up to the public due to his inner struggles. Personally I would not want to open up everything to the public if I were a public figure, and I guarantee you wouldn't as well.
@@Ephigy1 i am a streamer I have been on some of Mitch's streams many times what do you mean? That's why I am giving so much flack here.
You can tell Mitch has improved alot the past years, his first appearance with Dr.K has shown how much he has done.
Yea you can instantly tell how much he's grown
It hasn't been years, but witnessing how fast people can "improve" can feel like years have past!
Such a good talk. Mitch carries a huge weight on him, I hope he is able to let go off some of his burdens through music.
also dr.k is right, going alone made it harder :/
Mad fucken respect for Mitch. No one would ever share something that deep live. My heart goes out for him. I know he will get better and eventually he will be able to properly take care of his brother and mother. You got this Mitch. Keep it up.
So much pain and grief you can feel it through the screen. This had me crying to the point of needing to take a momemt myself and get some Kleenex. So sad about what happened to his brother- that hit me hard since it brought up feelings of loosing someone from my past also. Virtual hug.
Lot's of respect for Mitch on walking away from lucrative streaming and making a career change.
Holy shit hearing him talk about what he had to go through with CPS and his brother had me in tears. What a horrible experience :(
I never cry. & that shit broke me down for him. Mitch is so misunderstood.
What does cps stand for?
@@doodliedie child protective services
At 58:38 for a few minutes when talking about his brother and mom I can't help but hear Reckful in his cadence. Listen to how he talks it's like he used the way Reckful talked when explaining things as a subconscious comfort to be able to express himself, it's sad and wholesome. He really loved the guy.
Spitting fucking image of Byron right there. Man that's rough to hear. I'm glad Mitch is healing
That's what I've kept thinking at multiple points in this video. At first I was like, WHO is he reminding me of??? And then I realized it was Reckful...an unconscious thing he probably isn't even aware of that shows how close the two of them truly were.
Man this breaks my heart watching this. Struggling to watch this without tearing up. The pain he feels must be immense.
this interview had me in tears, I hope Mitch does well on his journey
@Cristian Araujo so?
@Cristian Araujo can't help but wonder if you've ever had a single struggle in life that wasn't related to money
or if you're trolling
@@kipz hes for sure trolling
He's baiting, don't bother with him
@Cristian Araujo shut up. Hes human like you
As someone with a profoundly disabled sister i can relate to this 100%, what happened to his brother is what I'm terrified could happen to my sister...
the responsibility and the powerlessness he feels must be absolutely soul crushing, he has all my respect for getting it out there
I love that I can hear Reckful's inflections in Mitch's words. Mitch really carries reckful with him and is working to bring so much good to this world.
I drop in on these videos from time to time and every time I do I am absolutely blown away by the beauty of the conversations that are fostered.
I really appreciate when Doc asks if he can think. I saw a therapist when I was younger and he would get quiet and all I could think was "am I fucking this up?" It never occurred to me he might have been thinking. Seems silly now, but...
One of those small touches that shows a lot of thoughtfulness and care.
Exactly this! It's a simple change that makes a huge difference xoxo
This was the most powerful thing I have ever seen on the internet. His vulnerability is everything. It touched something in me and I cried with him. I hope he knows how impactful it is that he opened up in this way. Love you Mitch! You got this bubba.
Man the more I think about it, maybe Reckful reminded Mitch of his brother and his hopelessness of being able to help him correlated to his brothers situation. Must have been soul destroying. Much love to you Mitch, you'll pull through this.
Haven't cried as much as I did in a while, while listening to this. Never cried so much at work, which is where I listen to these.
Reckful was so incredibly important to me, and mitch was too. We forget sometimes the events that took place. Mitch did very childish things, Reckful was mentally unstable. Reckful cutting Mitch out destroyed him. I remember live streams when he would come on and have breakdowns and cry after he and Reckful split ways. I am sure he always thought there was time to fix his relationship, Now he's a very sad individual, I am happy he has found this path.
Both shouldnt have streamed to begin with. You only can carry others if you can carry yourself well enough.
Mitch is such a strong dude, i have so much shit inside myself i struggle with aswell that i havent talked about in details with anyone... i need this aswell... Thank you Mitch for sharing!
Man I don’t know if you’ll ever see this Mitch, but I’m so damn proud of you, and thank you for sharing this. Videos like this really helped me to finally seek help after 33 years of life. Thank you, and hope the best for you and your healing! ❤
This was rough to watch in a good way. I can relate a lot to his brother in this story and I think that his brother will welcome him with open arms when he is ready to help him.
man what a good guy. the bitterness of being let down by the world is a tough thing to let go, all the best to him and everyone going through the same thing.
Mitch talking about the song he made is so relatable, the guilt that a person goes through when a friend takes their life, especially when they are so close to them. Its a really hard journey to undertake. Eventually, you learn that you can only help people so much, and how they chose their outcome is up to them, being at peace with the idea that you did what you can to help, and letting go of the inner guilt. Because you will always feel like you could have done more, even if you gave 200% of your being to help them. You can feel that there were better ways, better things to say, better ways to act, how you could have been more reliable or available.
Honestly, I look forward to hearing that song. I truthfully hope that he finds the moment of enlightenment which allows him to move past the self guilt, because it sounds like it still is there inside him, and I believe he understands that as well.
I wish the best for Mitch
These 3 were some of the best talks on this channel, all 3 of them. I mean I've seen almost every single interview they posted to the UA-cam, and there are quite a few that kinda compete as also really good. But these are in the top 10 probably. Definitely the top 20. So many are tied as amazing to me tbh. So many stick with me. I'd have to count. This was ridiculously powerful. The pain Mitch is in is so intense to bear witness to. It's kinda like a special case. So many people who have been through so much trauma don't burst into this kind of crying the way he does but it's a special kind of loving soul to be able to feel this much pain about the two family members he loves so much and to not have become truly numb in defense. To still feel so much is something I think some people kinda are a little envious of in a weird way. If he can feel this much pain imagine how much positive emotion he has the capacity to feel too if only he could heal even just some of the hurt and process it. It's just... wow.
Damn... I only discovered who Mitch is recently and this conversation hits home so hard, I was unaware of the hardships this genuine, beautiful soul of a man is dealing with.. If Mitch or anyone else struggling through things reads this, keep your head above the water homies and take everything a day at a time. I'm right there with you all... we got this. Much love from down under
Mitch Jones is a hero for sharing all of this. I cannot believe the level of raw emotion that's here, and if anyone wants to know what it's like to have it hard, and to still succeed and be brave, look no further than Mitch. Respect for this, and respect to Doctor K, his pacing of psychological direction is impeccable. I learnt a lot today.
I've cried in almost all of the interviewers I've seen here but this was by far the most powerful one. It's so heartbreaking to know that someone went through all of this and kept it inside and dealt with it all alone. I'm glad he's getting better and I'm hopeful too, he's clearly very strong and an inspiration to me to keep going and be better
I know I am two years late on this but I just wanted to tell Mitch if he comes back to this ever, that he already has connected with so many people, music aside. I didn't know him before this, but I won't forget this interview. Bless you on your journey.
When you show your true self,
And become vulnerable,
your actually living your strongest reality.
Criticism, and insults are passed as a gift.
You have the choice to accept the gift or not. Most comments a person makes is a reflection of themselves or for attention in which they lack.
If your true to yourself vulnerability doesn't matter because you know the truth. Yet, it may matter if the information they give is something you want to change about yourself causing a conflict inside your reality of who you are vs who you want to be.
Love these videos.
Thank you, and best of luck everyone on their personal journeys.
Mitch actually is very knowledgeable and I wish him all the best in the future whatever he pursues.
I believe people overcoming their pain together is the most beautiful sight in humanity
Not sure if you'll ever see this, but you helped me by telling your story. I'm going to make better choices starting today. I stop running away today. Thank you
Wow. This might be the realest conversation on the internet. It's easy to see Mitch is on a journey to better himself and that's just fuckin inspiring. All love and healing to Mitch and his family. Thank you Dr. K for this
I'm so thankfull Mitch was brave enough to share this, on the fkn Internet, for us to watch and to connect. Holy shit, so much respect to him. Hope he gets happy 🙏
Used to watch this guy every day 10 years ago while playing wow. Things change and we grow up man... what a trip
This made me damn cry like a baby, someone with Clinical Depression, multiple attempts at suicide, chronic anxiety, chronic migraine, no friends. This hit home hard, specially the being the one to carry all the weight, because I take care of my sick mother, I am 29 years old, all my life I took care of her, when none of her other kids have (brother and two sisters)
How are you doing now.? I hope you're doing better.
I hear you brother
I think Mitch was also living as a persona and he let that persona die. He started feeling the negative things he needed to feel to move forward. Really appreciate that man. I'm going through similar sh*t
Its amazing that only by the way you put things and me reading your comment, makes me feel I'm leveling up.
Hugs to you
Sup king, hope your doing well! Sending hugs from Amsterdam, keep your head up.
These interviews with Mitch always hit hard.
The betrayal, loneliness, being misunderstood, lack of trust & afraid of trusting, yearning for a real genuine connection with another soul....
Even though I'm 10 years older than he is, I 1000% can relate to how he feels in the world.
I hope he continues his introspective work & he crosses paths & connects with his kindred spirit. 💚
Had to pause multiple times to compose myself watching this. Thank you for the honesty
Didn't expect to cry. I'm so happy Mitch opened up about this stuff. I just know that'd been weighing on him for the longest time.
Mitch... You've grown so much. I can see your true self/authentic self so deeply within this video, It is truly beautiful... It made me really happy seeing you push to embrace your true self and not run away from your reality/trauma anymore after such a long journey of building a "success mask."
Thank you, Mitch
Successful mask is a great way to put it. Not sure if you came up with it or if it was in the video, but that will stay with me
Respect
Thanks for sharing Mitch. We're here for you. I believe in you and I think you can save your brother.
This might sound bizzare but this talk is in TOP5 or maybe even TOP3 Dr K ever has done.
What other ones did you like?
Thanks for opening up mitch, love to u and ur brother. I have asperger's too and I'm certain your brother greatly appreciates you even if he cant communicate it. It sounds like you mean a whole lot to him. Had a good cry watching this, thanks for sharing
Man this was really powerful. I had to pull into a parking lot to cry for a few minutes when Mitch started to open up. I really hope he continues to grow and heal, he seems like such a decent person. You know, I usually don't like streamer interviews but oddly enough this really didn't feel like one.
Mitch is so authentic, thats why. He's been through so much, almost anyone would be able to relate to him...
Love is not a victory march but a cold and broken hallelujah...being vulnerable feels excruciating but exquisite.
That half an hour after 55:00 felt like it lasted hours and it’s so unbelievably powerful
You don’t know how many people you’re helping through these videos. Thank you Mitch for you’re vulnerability and thank you Dr. K for everything you’re doing.
holy shit, I've teared up a few times during Dr K's streams, but this was super super real. Thanks for being vulnereable mitch. You're on the right path to healing.
Thanks for talking mitch, ik that shit ain't easy but this talk has personally helped me and I am forever thankful
This talk really reminded me there are people out there who are going through much harder stuff than I am. It's easy to feel alone af with your problems and think you're the only one who's suffering, but that's absolutely not the case.
I respect Mitch so much for this. There's so much power and strength in being able to sit with what seems like inconceivable pain, for even just 20 seconds. Being able to face that so honestly is powerful.
And this is it Mitch! You being authentic, sharing whats really inside, instead of masking your pain to the world, you get aloooot of love! Im so thankfull for you comming on here sharing this. I get so much affection and empathy towards you, your current and past situation!
I was in tears listening to that story with his brother, man, fuck, I just wanted to put my arm around him. I really hope something can be done to get his brother out of that facility, it sounds like hell.
I'm only 40 mins in and I've been teary eyed almost the entire time.
What an incredible interview. Mitch you truly are such a strong human being. Listening to your story was a very powerful experience. I wish you all the best.
This video is so powerful. I realized how weak I am. The feelings that are killing mitch also kill me, but on a smaller scale. If those feelings are slashing a big hole in mitch's soul, then a small hole is stabbed in mine when listening to mitch. From this new found awareness, I realized I am not as strong or could be as helpful as I thought I was. I feel more put in my place and limited. At the same time, I feel very blessed to have found this new found enlightenment. Much gratitude to this video and for DR. K for being strong to keep taking all those stabs whether big or small. I found out how weak I am and how strong DR. K is.
"The most beautiful art is created by the most painful life" holy shit
Please keep doing this with Mitch, i think a lot of People can relate with him and he also really needs it, in the past i thought he ist just a weird clowny guy, but now i fully understand him.
I’ve never cried over another persons emotions before. I thought I was a psychopath, thanks guys. My self esteem is temporarily fixed haha
That's an absolutely wonderful reply, Niall. I agree--Mitch thawed an iceberg today.
I wouldn't call that psycho at all :)
@@happyclam1266 thank you. Yeah, poor guy
@@xqcumber1664 thanks :)
@Michael some psychopaths are so insane they suggest wildly negativistic and defeatist things like:
"All people have some narcissistic tendencies" and "there is no treatment for narcissism"
Might as well tell a drug addict "Everyone's doin' it, man! Besides, it's not possible to become sober."
If a therapist was recorded saying that they would be in court.
I had such a bad opinion of Mitch when some of the Reckful+Mira drama was going on. It really goes to show that you never know completely what is going on with people when you see their relationship play out in public. I had to pause this video several times because I understand how heavy some of the situatoins that he dealt with are and it's caused me to understand and respect him so much more than I did years ago. Thank you for doing this, both of you.
Bro I feel for him so much, what happened to his brother wasn’t his fault despite the fact that he was forced to go through with it (all alone and against his will mind you). how can someone at such a young age understand how to avoid such a shitty situation let alone navigate it, simultaneously while focusing on his career, severely ill mother, struggling brother and broken family…. Jesus no wonder he’s been so hurt for so long- I can’t believe his father just dipped when he needed him most in that situation … I hope that he’ll be able to reach out to his brother and care for him, and I really hope he’s able to find peace with his past and understand that’s the past molds you but the present makes you- the mistakes that he has made don’t define him, but what he learns from them do. I wish him the best of luck on his journey.
This guy seems so open and authentic and honest, definitely an inspiration for me in terms of what’s possible for a man to express in our world
Mitch. This IS authentic. Maybe I'm nobody, but I'm watching. I feel some of the pain you feel, and I emapthize with you.
Vulnerability hurts but you have to look inside and allow people to help for you to heal.
so much respect for mitch, i cant even put it in words
We are not alone...we're just scared because of our past experience and keep seeing the world only through a wounded experience. Letting true friendship touch you, and opening up for love is difficult but worth it. We can love ourselves enough to accept help.
I hope Mitch knows what he did here was marvelously powerful. He's a remarkable [person with a beautiful soul. I hope he and his brother can reunite and find their peace.
Reminds me of my brother going through mental hospitals and now a permanent facility. It sucks so bad and I relate to my family not really being there for him, it's mainly up to me. Feels like they gave up on him at 17 when they made him a ward of the state. And the meds don't help he needs his family.
this guy is a real human being, thanks for having him on
mitch connecting like never before. total respect bro.
This is why you never judge someone on outward appearance until you sit down and really talk to someone you won't realise how much people from all walks of life feel just as bad as everyone else
Thank you for sharing this with us. It took a lot of guts, man. I'm ugly crying.
“I still DM his Twitter like he’s still there”
I lost my best friend Jesse suddenly and abruptly(you can find videos featuring him on my channel and see what kinda kid he was)his “parents” had him cremated, took his ashes, and took all of his belongings and I haven’t heard from this since his wake. He didn’t even get a funeral. It was like he disappeared overnight.
I know exactly how you feel, man. I message Jesse’s Facebook like he’s still there, all the time. I’ll call his phone and leave him messages, let him know how I’m doing, etc. you’re not alone brother. Keep on fighting the mental fight.
I cried with Mitch the whole time cuz similar things happened to me.
Dr. K and all of the personalities that interact with him in this format are doing really impactful work here. It's very impressive that they can do this in front of so many people. It shows us that it's okay to open up and it helps us understand our own situations as well when we can compare our own lives to the lives of the people that go on Dr. K's show. Thank you so much Dr. K and all personalities that collaborate with you!
i didn't expect to cry today and not like this but Mitch , man , this hit me hard and you deserve all the hugs and support in the world.I believe in your new found journey and you don't have to walk alone.I am sure of it and believe in you.
Brings me to tears he has to deal with all of that. There is nothing else to say than: ❤
I've never really known much about Mitch, I knew he was in the community and friends with people I had watched but yeah.. I really hope he can become happier with himself, find the peace he needs. I find it so bizarre at how many people you can look up to have so much hidden suffering in their life, I may not be rich, but im not poor, I may not be super close to my dad (as far as hugging and saying I love you, which i find hard saying I love you to my mother also, no idea why) but i do love my dad and he loves me, hes a huge inspiration to me & role model, aswell as my very supportive mom, they brought me up well and gave me a a good life, these are the things you never really appreciate on a day to day basis until you see videos like this where people who you think have it all really dont and if anything suffer more then you do.. I have 1 or 2 good friends in my life, the rest disappeared after highschool. Nothing in your life is your fault Mitch.. your mom your brother your dad, and the loss of Reckful.. none of it is, its just the cards you're dealt in life & its incredibly unfair.. youll get better and find yourself, love you Mitch.
Mitch, thank you for sharing, I felt the intensity of your emotions extremely powerfully and I wish you well.
Also, Dr.K, you guided Mitch like a true gladiator
thank you Dr. K and especially Mitch for opening up. very heartfelt episode
I'm terrified of going to therapy. Every person I've ever gotten close too or opened up enough to share my weaknesses and vulnerability, the very next thing they do is use it against me. Talking to a therapist feels like giving the enemies free bullets to shoot at me.
There are a lot of people in the world who have nothing until you give them something and then they turn it against you. They are pathetic. Some of them are therapists. You have to keep interviewing therapists until you find the right one. Pretend you are the employer and you are looking for the right employee. You could even make a "job description" (not to show to them, but to have in mind). Don't take it personally if they also have a "client description" and tell you they don't think you are a fit. You'll find someone and you may be surprised at who they are when you do. For me, the best was a retired ballet dancer who was a disciple of a famous Indian guru. I do not resonate with "famous Indian gurus" but she never tried to push that and what she did have, like Doc K has, was an understanding of how important spirituality and art were. My "job description" was totally filled to overflowing, but it didn't look anything like I thought it would. I found others after she retired and none were as good as she was . . . but each one served a purpose.
You’re only struggling now so you can give more wisdom and have better peace of mind in the future. You will have a better sense of self than most other people. Things will come with good karma and patience. Things happen for a reason and god is fucked in the head if he’s real but how could we ever understand that if he was real
I won't go in detail of how therapist won't do that because they are licensed and shit, that's true but that's not the point.
There's a difference in lowering your defense and getting stabbed because you did not see it coming, and there's a difference in getting stabbed knowing that could happen. In the latter case, it means that you take responsibility for your pain and embrace it, if it will come.
Lowering your defenses is not a mistake, it's the basic stuff that we all need to do in order to connect with others. If you get stabbed, it's not your fault: you must do what you gotta do, there are no other ways. If bad stuff happens, then you will be prepared for it.
We must shift from "what if this bad thing happens?" to "if this thing happens, then I will do A. If it doesn't work I will do B, C, D etc.". It is the only way to progress in life.
i hear your pain and im sorry the people in your life would betray you like that, but i still strongly urge you to get therapy
It's not because a therapist can't tell people what you tell them. The only time they can say anything is to the authorities if you talk about offing yourself, harming others, things like that. Yeah, it's a scary thought, but it can help. You don't have to open up about everything right away. There are crappy therapists and good ones, you just have to find the right person.
Wow, this is the 1st time I've cried while watching a Dr. K interview. I struggle with the feeling that there's no place for emotional intimacy now, so it was cathartic just to be able to watch Mitch be vulnerable and know that others are connecting with him. I hope he makes good progress!
Mitch jones always knew what it was like to struggle with life I always suspected he was battling mild intermittent depression on and off but he never really spoke about it because he would always feel better a couple of weeks later but after Bryon died he realised he had to battle his mental health issues straight on instead of hiding them. Pretty transformative story.
very proud of mitch I hope he continues to succeed.
WOW! This really hit me hard, I hope mitch reads this, I don't really know what he's gone through, but I have had similar experiences that made me feel the same way. Hearing him talk about this actually makes me feel more normal, so thanks mitch.
This was so powerful, beautiful and helpful! Words can't describe how grateful I am for Mitch and Dr K for sharing this with us ♥️
I've struggled with finding my way back to my emotions for a few months. Being able to be fully authentic and listen to my own core I guess you could say. And this helped me so much. All I wanted to do was give Mitch a hug. And say that I feel so helped and not alone.
The amount of work this guy has done is purely amazing and so damn inspiring! I haven't followed Mitch Twitch or watched anything besides Dr K interviews but I still feel deeply proud. Like a fellow human type of proud. And I want to like celebrate the growth that's happened. It just truly warms my heart.
THIS is why I strive to work with people, starting with becoming an addiction therapist. Seeing this growth is so damn beautiful! It fills up my soul ☀️
Thank you for sharing this, from the bottom of my heart ♥️ Imagine the world we would live in if content on the internet and conversations irl like this was the norm ♥️♥️
It would be the norm if we had freedom we do not
@@iPostiPodiEatiYuri I think we have all the possibilities to create that freedom. In some countries obv its alot harder and safety always comes first. But in many countries its mostly fear that holds us back.
Mitch has grown so much in the last year its astonishing, absolutely amazing
Duuuuude the authenticity of this dude and the pain he shared resonated so welllll with me I'm so glad he opened up. My absolute favorite interview now.
Hope he finds a good therapist and double hope he hits me up if he feels lonely again :D
this was so intense. best wishes to mitch and his family.
So powerful and inspiring for someone with such pain to share their experience giving others the courage to do the same. Much love brother your story alone has impacted so many people already you're never alone.
Super powerful discussion, I hope he continues to come to peace with his emotional childhood pain in life.
Love you mitch. thank you Dr. K this helps people more than you know
This was really powerful stuff. Mitch is a great man for opening up like this.
