Life With Autism/ Chronic Illness: Maximum Effort
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- There are days living life with autism/ chronic illness when you don’t have what you need to deal with the struggles in your life. So we just grab whatever we can and do our best to make it work.
We all just need to be like Deadpool.
Maximum Effort.
Paint the brick Eryykc! Then leave it in a random place. I have had someone say I dont have depression....that its my choice to be that way..(?!) Yep, I wing it at times..frustrating when it doesnt work. sometimes can make the depression worse for me. The summer heat is causing me a bit of depression for some reason.
I hear you, friend. Love the brick! Really enjoy your intro...where you say kind things to us. ❤👍😎🇨🇦
Thank you! I think my final Pokemon form will be some kind of Mr Rogers/ Deadpool/ Lavar Burton/ Captain Jack Sparrow/ Uncle Iroh hybrid
I am stubbornly independent, so yes, I have frequently accomplished goals when I was told they were beyond my reach.
I like your bricks. Staying encouraged is very important.
Yes, our limitations are very real, but I hope to not let them stop me

*do what you can when you can.
*slow & steady counts.
*there are many right ways to do something.
* acknowledge your accomplishments, no matter how small.
You sharing your struggles and ways of coping has helped me more than therapy. I look forward to every video. ❤
🖤🖤❤️❤️ thank you!
It is so precious to me when you say that, as part of this community, i am loved and that I matter and that you're glad I'm with you. I dont often feel these things, or perhaps I dont allow myself to feel these things because my self esteem is so low. I love your brick idea! I feel like I've been doing this all my life - especially being late diagnosed neurodivergent. It is a great reminder that with creativity, our quirkiness, and determination, we can find ways to get things done when resources are scarce or not fit for purpose. Enjoy the rest of your day, Eryykc. You are making a world of difference 🌍❤
Thank you, and thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts with me. 🖤❤️🙏🏾
Eryykc, you’re such a great example of Stoicism philosophy in action! You always are so creative in adapting and changing to work with your situation. Although i don’t have to deal with the struggles that you do, you’re a constant inspiration. I love your channel so much and it’s a big part of my morning. Thank you❤🍃🌼💕
Thank you, I love stoicism, Winnie the Pooh, Zen and Greek philosophy, and the occasional stand up comic. Wisdom, patience, and laughter
@@Eryykc yes!!!
If what you have is a brick, make that brick work! I love that! My personal triumph, I can read books again without getting crazy distracted! I feel my friends are back!
Yay!!! That’s so wonderful, having books and being able to enjoy them is a lovely thing
Your sharing your ideas means so much to me. I keep watching the subscribers because I want the whole world to boost the important thing. But I get that things take time. And I also worry that people like me don't necessarily gravitate to the things that will be "popular." So it's a concern. So, Eric, just know that the numbers there don't fully reflect the importance of what you are helping us with. I wish to keep this in my morning thing forever! (I know you won't like the idea at first, but patreon is a thing for a reason).
Anyway, love this episode. Thank you for doing this. (I LOVE the deadpool/brick thing. It has resonated and will become part of my way of seeing the world. Maybe I'll even get a brick from Home Depot. ha ha I HAVE accomplished more than I "should" have. And at the same time, in my more mature age, I am up against things I think I can't conquer. So this is a terrific metaphor. (simile? ) Whatever, I just love your channel so much.
Thank you! I wish I grew faster, and if I did things differently maybe I would. But I also want to grow because the right people found my channel. I grew on TikTok really fast, got about 56k, but the engagement was low. I realized that less than half of my followers there were truly there for all I had to offer. So my goal with UA-cam is to be as real as I am comfortable being, while still making the best videos I can. We shall see where this goes. I did Patteson once, but then got too worried about pleasing the people sending me money. I may try it again one day
@@Eryykc ❤💯 Thank you
I’m so glad I watched this. I too feel like I never have what I need, or what others have that makes them so much more effective at life than me. I was the kid always with less than everyone else and grew up ‘making do’, always finding ways to squeeze possibilities out of whatever was available right then.
I love the brick analogy. I’ve been using ‘this brick’ so much it’s not got corners anymore. But that’s okay, because even if my brick gets worn down to where it’s a stone, there’s a lot I can do with a stone. I’ll be alright.
But all that being said, it still hurts to be aware of being inadequate or somehow lacking. Especially when you really need to take care of yourself and a brick just isn’t gonna cut it.
I relate to the daydream of a wellness retreat or highly specialized care and interventions just to get me going again. Man I wish I had Kardashian money. I’d solve so many problems in my personal world and book so many treatments and have all the tests done to find out what is wrong and how to fix it.
But I can’t do that. I have to work with what I got.
I have heard of the title, Deadpool, but I am not familiar with this movie. I got such a kick out of out the editing showing you buying a single brick and the next frame showed you approaching a door with a nice big window. My mind visualized you casually throwing the brick through that window. Unfortunately, my imagination did not supply the "why" a calm and gentle man like you would do such. 🙃
I don't know where these ideas come from, but I like being a part of random acts that are harmless and fun.🙂
Deadpool looks like fun and I need to go and check it out. Thank you for always shedding light on things that are new to me. 👍👍
I should say it is violent and raunchy, but for me it’s the mindset of chaos and willingness to be disliked that most attracts me to the character. I do like breaking things, so long as I can repair them or have permission. I used to be more chaotic, my illness and age have slowed me down some. But that spark is still there, so your image of me casually throwing a brick through a window is not far off. Actually, that reminds me of a story,….. we should definitely have tea together one day.
I am so happy to hear that my image was not far off. Any cafe that can contain 2 minds like ours at the same time would be magical. I promise to behave…I think… Can I? 🤔☺️🙂
Looking forward to that story. 👍👍
I missed you this morning. I had a 7:30 drs appointment, so no time for UA-cam.
I'm glad I'm able to catch you now.
Your scone looks yummy. You truly do have the best coffee spots.
Very cool analogy with the brick. And I so understand trial and error within the medical community. Just as I had to fight for a test at my GI dr's office today. First visit to her, and I know my body. It's frustrating. If I had unlimited money, I could get to the top drs and therapists who understand my illness. I had an amazing therapist who also suffered with chronic illnesses. She got me 100%. Then, she stopped taking my insurance. Her rate is now $250 an hour, which I cannot afford, so we had to part ways. Very frustrating. So I understand about the brick.
Thank you for sharing that. It absolutely resonated with me.
Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. ❤❤🫂
Thank you for sharing your story, and yes it would be so much easier if we could afford to pay for the care we need, instead of making do with what we can afford. Hence the brick
I have almost no social skills. This is my fault because I by choice spend a lot of time avoiding social situations that are outside of my comfort zone which is pretty much all social situations. If I do wind up in a social situation then I put on an act. I am not a people person. If I want to do anything in life I am reminded by the few people I have in my life that I lack in that social element. Having to speak feels like a violation most of the time. I don't understand people. I have been thinking about becoming a groundskeeper as a job because that is sort of what I do now part time. Apart from an abundance of gratitude no one talks to me while I work and I love it. 😊
Working alone is its own special gift
✨🥀✨ Totally on point about resources! Hi; been watching here & staying off other media as self care. This summer heat wrecked me, hope you're withstanding it better than I. love & peas
🥰🥰🥰 I stay out of the heat as much as I can, and I have also reduced my social media presence and it’s been great for me. Glad you are here my friend
Hello 😊 I am such a fan daily watcher. I am going to watch Deadpool because of this analogy. I need this at my job. I am struggling to hit what we need to hit our numbers. We are in a area that doesn't do like others so to speak but we are rallying and I'm gone buy a Brick. I appreciate your content please keep sharing.
I try to find inspiration where I can, and the weirder the role model, the more likely I will vibe with them
Also thank you for watching and for being here!
Totally dig the brick and sentiment. Creating something from nothing is a super power you use well. Keep going your direction. Thank you for sharing. ✌🏼🙌🏼
When I exhausted my resources (time, money) to try some expensive things and practitioners to heal….I discovered: What works for most people does not work for me (food, medicines, herbs, supplements, devices, programs, advice, research outcomes, etc). The opposite happened and I am left with depleted health and resources. I learned the hard way that just because something is expensive and works for some people, it most likely will not work for me. I now know when other people do something a certain way it does not mean I can or should. Carving my own path and doing things the opposite of textbooks and experts works for me. 🧱👍🏼👍🏼
Yes! We must find our own way, even if looks like the wrong way (as long as we are hurting others or angering the Unicorns)
There has been a few things that I have accomplished that when I started that I did not have the resources. But I believe that when there is a will there is a way. I have done many things that 'should not be possible' And that others just do not understand how in the world I got them done. From Getting married at 19, earning a Black Belt in Kenpo, to Retiring at 31, to getting my DD a much needed grade skip in our local school district. And the hardest one has been dealing with other parents when it came to classmates of my DD. She is now 14 at the Early College High School and is on track to not only graduate at 16 but also have her transfer degree at the same time. My life is not normal and I am 1000% okay with that. I do not 'need' other to understand me
I love everything about this, thank you for sharing your asymmetrical journey through life
Thank you for this. It was timely.
🖤❤️🙏🏾
Brick me, cause I don't know if I've ever had the resources to do anything. Granted, that may be a little dramatic, but it feels that way. It can be such a struggle telling someone "I can't do this, that way" because of some unseen something they just can't wrap their heads around. And for those living a lifetime below the poverty level, means every resource you have has come at the sacrifice of another resource. If you add to that, any mental or physical disability (seen or unseen) then often times, all you have is "the brick."
