    You really do help a lot of people just by being open & honest.

    I've experienced a lot the same things that Valkyrae has with the loss of a parent you care for. I was a carer for my mother for 4 years till she passed just over 6 years ago. I had a total breakdown from the stress of dealing with it - no help from my older brother and sister whilst caring for her. Now 6 years later and I'm still a mess. I'm, not allowed to work, I live with my brother and his wife who is both mentally and on rare occasions physically. It is very hard sometimes to deal or cope with depression and anxiety. I too have considered ending my life, but it's my mums memory that always drew me back. Gaming has been an amazing anchor in life over the years. I applaud Valkyrae for being so open and honest about this matter in her life, and wish her all the best for the future (if she ever reads this).

      @@why_sojaded It's because it's all they've experience in their life. Most of them never started a business either, so the only "real way" to make money is to work for someone that makes more than your pay.
      I'm a software engineer and my mom had real issue back then. She was very concerned when I turned a 18k paycheck one month, she thought I was doing something fishy.

    We need a video like this with someone interviewing you and talking about stuff like this. I think it would be super interesting, it could also have a cool title like "I spent a day with MYSELF" or something like that

    Legit so glad I randomly came across Rae's CZcams videos during covid. It was one of her Reddit Recap videos and once I saw her energy - I was immediately hooked. It's crazy how so many people out there who experience so much trauma in their early years, tend to have these personalities that help others in multiple ways - whether it be through advice, entertainment, relatability, etc.
    We're proud of you Rae! ❤

    I relate to her story so much 😭 my dad was a drug addict; I also sat with him as he got cancer and went into the hospice ward [I was only 20 at the time]. I understand exactly how it feels to watch your dad slowly fall apart in front of you and it’s heart breaking. I was also in a toxic relationship and throwing myself into working multiple jobs because hard work and consistency brought me comfort. She’s so well adjusted for everything she’s been through. Bless her ❤️

    I can relate to Valkyrie's time taking care of her dad.
    My dad has dementia and I am his care giver. I'm still relevantly young so I have to balance taking care of my dad but also work on myself. There are ups and downs depending on his mental capabilities but spending time with him as long as I can while he's still physically here.
    It can be frustrating and complicated on how the roles are switched but you can only do what you can.

    I had absolutely no clue, Rae had such a big struggle to overcome. She deserves success and I wish nobody else has to go through the hell of being worked forever and dealing with a loss as she has. It's so inspiring where she is now. So happy for her transformation and courage to go through struggles and come up with such success.

    Rae has been an inspiration to so many gamers (I would say “including me”, but I’m not really a professional gamer, I just play games as a way of relaxing) and she deserves everything. She has an amazing and unique personality, great character, and insane skills. I’m very grateful for everything she’s done! A million thanks, Anthony, for having her!!!

    Annnnddd this is why Rae is an amazing personality and icon she’s literally all of us! That insecure nerd that thought they had to be something their not to make friends then end up not really ever making friends because you hadn’t learned to love yourself properly. She’s the goat man.

    The day my Dad finally passed after being in a coma for 4 months was the first time I felt like I could finally breathe. At first I was overjoyed that he was no longer in pain but after a few hours it hit me like a ton of bricks, Rae’s right about thinking you’re prepared but you can never anticipate how you’ll feel until you’re there. Love you Rae🖤

  • @SweetChaos01
    @SweetChaos01 Před rokem +2

    Rae, you are so sweet and strong and brave! Your experience with your dad really resonated with me as I currently take care of my Granny who is 87 years old and has later stage dementia. She doesn't remember who we are and always gets upset with me trying to change her diapers, clean her up, etc. It is so heartbreaking watching someone you've loved your whole life deteriorate and forget who you are and how to do everything. People who haven't been in that situation wouldn't understand how physically trying and emotionally devastating it is. I'm glad you got to spend your father's last days with him though, and that you can share experience with others to help people in the same situation to not feel alone. Wishing you the best, you deserve it! ❤️

    The part about our childhood's affecting us so heavily... It hit me once again when Anthony said it takes effort to pull yourself out of it, cause although I'm aware of that I just don't know if working through it is something I can carry. I've tried for so long, and at this point it's just like the help I need is never coming and even if it will eventually, what will it change?

    Rae had me crying the entire video, like yeah, we’ve both had our ups and downs, and both of us fell into like a depressive state. and we’ve gotten out of it. She’s helped me through most things, her streams are me comfort place. Even though she doesn’t know who i am, she will never know how much i love her, and how much she’s a comfort to me. I love how she’s so open with her background.

    Rae. You being open about the loss of your father is the only reason I got through losing my dad so traumatically over so much time.

As a therapist I’ve pointed it out to some of my clients before that even tho stress and anxiety sucks it does come with some comfort because you know what to expect when you’re stressed while when you’re at ease there’s some fear of something going wrong

    You should do "I spent a day with lucid dreamers"
    Lucid dreaming has many benefits including:
    Euphoria
    Facing fears
    Getting better at other skills
    Getting rid of recurring nightmares
    More inspiration
    Learning more about yourself
    Solving problems
    Higher self awareness
    Plus it's really fun and feels like real life most of the time. It's one of the best experiences you can have
