[@smartymcfly5387]

I like these kinds of videos to sleep to. But couldn't get past the 7-minute mark here. Just constant whining for 7 minutes was enough for me. Going to find a being scared video.

[@knpnglnn]

As a person on antidepressant medication for 2 years now. The first story really hit home. Its really hard for us to acknowledge that we have problems mentally but getting treatment literally saved my life. So to all listeners who are experiencing mental hardships right now, it is alright to seek treatment. Remember that our brain is also an organ, and organs like our heart, stomach etc should be treated always for diseases. Thank you for sharing OP's story

[@lolwtfbbq111]

Same! I was able to come off but going on SSRIs for a year and a half really helped me a lot. I'm glad I did it. I'm glad you also took that step 🥂

[@snackbarqueen]

Same here ! I've been on antidepressants since 2005 and they have helped me so much ❤

[@kelsijodryer6348]

​@@lolwtfbbq111the stigma is frustrating. If your body doesn't produce insulin and you have to take a shot, that's just fine. But, if your body doesn't produce Seritonin or Norepinephrine, and you have to take a pill, some people think it's a weakness. Its a double standard.

[@boopthesnoot4465]

YES! I've been on antidepressants for 8 years now, and after being off and on again due to insurance, it's really safe and important to take them I feel so much better when im on them

[@MIBOexMACHINA]

I just stopped my drug psychosis treatment program 2006-2024 I'd how long it took but I have my life back and studying to be a youth worker

[@annie_xo]

If the OP of the first story is reading this - I just want to say it gets better. I have schizophrenia and the first few years after it started were rough, can’t lie. But things will get easier as you get used to it and learn to cope and live with it. I haven’t had an episode in several years now and I’m living a normal life. You got this, I hope you’re doing well and I wish you all the best ❤️

I know therapists who go to counseling. At some point in life, everyone will likely need some type of counseling. Some will need medication for a period of time. It’s truly normal.

[@jennajune2101]

I read your last comment on the last video lol. I love seeing the same people in the comments.

[@edancrumpton1819]

I use to deliver pizzas and all I did was listen to the horror narrator community

[@csl9495]

Ahhh I love listening to these while driving at night.
Funny story. I have a Bluetooth receiver device that allows me to listen to audio in my car from my phone. In order to use the device you need to set it to a specific radio frequency, and so sometimes it can completely swap audio signals with random cars that are on the road with me.... maybe they're using the same buletooth device?
Anyways, one night, around close to midnight I was driving home and listening to horror narratives on youtube. And then suddenly my audio swapped and some random song came on. After a few seconds the audio just completely shuts off lol!! This means the other driver must've caught my audio and was wondering why in the middle of the night, on the road would such a creepy thing just come on lol

[@smackedinthejaw]

To the story 1 person; be careful about googling symptoms, it will just scare you as it throws EVERYTHING it could possibly be at you.

[@oisinlynch8427]

Yep though if I’m being honest a lot of symptoms of conditions sound the exact same to me

[@angelroar883]

Everyone, whether reception, security, petrol stations, Police etc, should be on duty with at least one other person - No one should be alone.

[@tablescissors]

THIS
We've heard so many instances where the person being isolated and trapped at work was a HUGE part of the problem.

[@SangosEvilTwin]

No thanks, I like my night shift jobs isolated. I know it's baffling for social types, but my combination of social anxiety, asocial personality, and highly active imagination makes it easier for me to work alone than with groups.
Let us solitary types work solitary jobs so the socials can stay with people.

[@jamesytgaming]

It's 6:15 am here in India. And what a way to start the day with a story in Joel's voice ❤️

[@nicelyppppppp]

that story about hallucinations really hit me: i was pushed over the same way when i called after having an episode that didn’t even include hallucinations. if you aren’t going to end it that second, no one cares. definitely sucks to be treated as if your emergency isn’t actually that urgent. hope everyone is hanging in there

[@Yungdaggerbrick]

As a Night Shift worker I can testify that I have problems with hallucinations mostly do to lack of sleep at times it happens a lot to the point that it doesn’t scare me anymore these hallucinations consist of seeing figures out of the corners of my eyes or hearing voices every now and then when I’m alone

[@grublord9502]

i used to work night shifts at a hotel front desk. the scariest part: we weren't allowed to sit down the entire time. there weren't even chairs available for that to be an option. also people were always mad at us for something. 0/10 job but 10/10 video (as always)!

[@lunakat7020]

[@missyh4997]

That human body exhibit story got me!!! I went to one of those w my bf ..on the eastern seaboard as well 😬 fascinating but we actually left half way through, I couldn't stomach it.

[@tablescissors]

There was the added layer that due to the origin of the corpses and their reputation of poor human rights, that the deceased did not necessarily VOLUNTEER for their fate to be on display like that.
There was even some genuine speculation by those more in the know that it was done to curse (if one was superstitious) or insult those it was done to. Still. I do own a book from that exhibition.

[@Kaylazan]

Something I went through for a while a few years back, when I was still in high school, kinda reminds me of the first story. So I understand you, bud. Even when you said “it doesn’t make sense” or whatever, I understood. Wasn’t put on medication or anything for it, I don’t even know if I ever talked to a professional about it in detail, but I don’t have them anymore. Thinking or talking about them sometimes still makes me feel some kind of way, though.

[@sweetcaligurl316]

Scary night shift story... having had worked night shift for at least 5 years, getting the opportunity to finally come back to days and have a normal (ish) life again, only to be let down that the new night person decided to stay at their current job and not come to this one, so you’re stuck for the foreseeable future on nights. Sigh.

[@blazedgoddess710]

Angel of death story will never get old. Keeps me up at night during hospital stays lol

[@linguineimpasta]

He looks so normal…

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

I feel for the guy in the first story. I had a breakdown after caring for my mom who has Alzheimer’s while working full time. This was before Corona, like right before. Now I’m so incredibly burned out that I spend my days off sleeping, listening to Let’s Read, or both, and taking care of my pets. I’m at a breaking point and can barely put one foot in front of the other without feeling exhausted. I’m a shell of the person i used to be. I don’t have any hallucinations:; nothing like that. I’m just in a chronic apathetic state and my soul is tired. This channel keeps me sane and I’m grateful for that.

[@GeneralBumpkis]

I’ve seen the horrors of what caring for loved ones with Alz/dementia does to the living. It’s never easy. You really need to find somebody to talk to, or at least mention it to your doctor. You may need medication to help bring you out of it, but talking about it is crucial. I know that’s easier said than done when you’re in such a state though…been there…still kinda there myself if I’m being honest. I wish you the best of luck in finding some peace again.

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

@@GeneralBumpkis I do talk to a therapist weekly and I take Lexapro. I could talk about it for hours but who wants to listen? And if you’ve ever noticed when you’re going through a tough time people tend to disappear on you, and it leaves one feeling more isolated. I used to lift weights four days a week with an upper/lower split and I loved it. This was prior to mom. I tried to continue but she couldn’t be left alone. I just joined a gym last week and I don’t care if I go on the treadmill for an hour, at least it’s something. I’m from So Cal and live in WA now and the weather just does not agree with me at all. I like to garden but not when it’s 30 degrees out. I know this will pass. It’s just this year has been particularly hard for some reason. We’ll get through it ♥️

The first one is pretty scary. I would be more afraid of finding out that whatever unexplainable thing I saw was a hallucination, than just some weird, unexplained event. Hallucinations are often a sign that something is wrong, and that something is often difficult to fix.

[@traceygirlslilpeanut8654]

The first one is so amazing! You are so not alone! Covid-19 has triggered a mental health pandemic that they have just ignored…my son has lost 10 friends from suicide due to the social aspects taken away from them as well as every day life. Fear is what the highest levels of government instilled and we followed and like rats in a maze we get smarter…find a way out…so glad that stories are coming in addressing how much they as beings have changed due to all this. That help is there and you can get back to normal…well sort of☺️

Weird hearing a story from my local area, which despite its brutality didn't seem to get much attention at the time. The community mental health teams here are absolutely shocking though and I hold them responsible for this tragedy.

I have PTSD so I’ve experienced several panic attacks and things happening that I know aren’t making sense during flashbacks and it’s the most isolating and scary feeling imaginable.

The comments about Britney Spires is all wrong. In an interview with her and personal friends said the reason she shaved her head was because everytime she was around a group of people the would touch her hair or it got pulled. So she was so tried of it she shaved her hair.
I personally get tried of people saying because a star does something they are crazy or something is wrong with. You do not know what they personally go through day in and day out. Or how people treat them. Or what they are dealing with. So stop judging them from what RUMORS you hear or lies you read. They are people too.

[@melodiechartier5173]

I like retient and feel for her and what she went through but she definitely had a mental breakdown right about the time she shaved all of her hair, so most likely she did it during one of her episodes. You say not to judge people from rumours we eat or lies we read but saying that she did it "because she was tired or people touching and pulling on it" might just be a rumour also, you don't know for sure if it's true, did she told you that herself personally?? Don't think so, and even if she would have said it in an interview, of course she is going to protect herself and her reputation by blaming it on something that isn't going to compromise her.

[@lindajones5443]

@Hyperskreem 82 No. You need to remember that celebrities are human to. But to say someone is crazy because you dont understand why they did what they did is stupid.
