what is up everybody this is Chris from
the rewired so where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if
you're new to my channel my channel is
all about mental health and sometimes
what I like to do is take different
topics going on in the YouTube community
and try to see what lessons we can learn
from or to have a bigger conversation
about mental health because we need more
mental health awareness and in this
video where we're talking about Jake
Paul on the impulsive podcast with Logan
Paul and Mike majlak like we're gonna see
how mental health awareness is really
really important alright so make sure
you subscribe and bring that
notification bell now if you want some
more content I just did a really cool
video on the main channel which I'll
link up in the info card somewhere up
here we went to the Scientology Museum
in Los Angeles we drove all the way out
there to make content for you baby but
they have a museum unlike the crazy
history of Psychiatry and they they put
out a lot of misinformation and some
scare tactics and everything anyways go
check out that video it's over on the
main channel a little bit late alright
so to catch you up to speed real quick
Jake Paul was trending the other day and
not for a good reason
I made another video about this anyways
he sent out a tweet about anxiety and he
got a ton a ton of backlash and the
other video I did I showed some bigger
youtubers and their responses to this
but basically in his tweet he said you
know anxiety is created by you right and
then he gives some tips like going out
for a walk and reaching out to friends
and things like that right um anyways
had massive amount of backlash and
apparently he was already scheduled to
be on logan paul's podcast impulsive but
obviously since this is some recent news
they discussed it on the podcast so i
did you all a favor
i sat through that hour-long podcast so
you don't have to that's how good i am
to all of you but seriously there's some
stuff that we should talk about when it
comes to mental health anxiety and
everything like that so I pulled some
clips and we're gonna break them down
a little bit starting with this one
there's there's like um a fairly regular
balanced brain that I think you have
that can get caught up with the anxiety
of the everyday stresses which is the
things you just described yes and then
there's the chemical imbalance
typing xiety medic anxiety that is not
created by you right which is why I feel
like I'm half right and I and I and I
didn't even realize that that was I
didn't even know literally until
yesterday that there were people who
were chemically imbalanced and like
couldn't control it are you serious yes
you didn't know I mean that's so why
would I know that what all right so that
clip right there like this is why I like
mental health is such a touchy subject
right and and like I'm gonna show you
another clip in a second but this is why
it's so dangerous for people with a
large audience to even talk about it
like you just saw right there Jake
Paul did not know about anxiety
disorders alright he did not know he
just saw anxiety he thought anxiety
right and what all of us need to
understand like I've been diagnosed with
a generalized anxiety disorder I'm on
medications for it I do therapy I
meditate I do all these other things but
something that I'm trying to really help
teach people when it comes to the mental
health conversation is that when people
just throw the word anxiety around all
willy-nilly it's it's not good right we
really need to have people recognize the
difference between fear worrying and
anxiety all right
fear and worry can lead to anxiety
anxiety can lead to fear and worry but
fear and worry are not anxiety okay we
need to understand that there are very
natural parts of life but anyways fear
and worry these are more the thoughts
that are coming right anxiety
alright pay attention to me real quick
anxiety is actually more
the physical reaction to these things
okay there are symptoms that come along
with anxiety right such as increased
blood pressure heart rate sometimes
sweaty palms it can even make your
pupils widen things like that okay so
like I said all these things can lead to
anxiety but what we need to realize too
is especially somebody like Jake Paul or
anybody in the public eye they're going
to experience a lot of you know these
worries and everything like that so I
don't know like I am not freaking gate
keeper when it comes to anxiety and the
dialogue these are just my opinions but
I don't know and you guys can let me
know your thoughts down in the comments
but would it be better for people to try
to stay away from the word anxiety
unless they've actually been diagnosed
to kind of make sure that this doesn't
happen but more so like like Jake Paul
said he didn't know about actual anxiety
disorders now when it comes to chemical
imbalance like I kept hearing the word
chemical imbalance when it came to
anxiety and usually we think without
with depression but I guess it's kind of
sorta you know the same with anxiety
it's just much different because when it
comes to depression we're talking about
lack of neurotransmitters like serotonin
dopamine endorphins norepinephrine all
these other things right so two of the
chemicals involved in anxiety are
cortisol and adrenaline okay so when
anxiety happens it triggers the limbic
system in our brain primarily the
amygdala the amygdala is in charge of a
lot of our emotions especially fight
flight or freeze response so we get
increases in cortisol the stress hormone
and adrenaline which gets us pumped up
and ready to go right
it is this response to a threat so a
little bit of a chemical imbalance but
it's basically because you have an
overactive amygdala that is firing the
stuff off but one part that Jake said
which is also a lack of education lack
of awareness is that we can control our
thoughts people latch on to the first
line the first line that's what you went
viral for and started trending
yeah I mean in I feel like I'm I feel
like and we were talking about it off
camera I feel like I'm half right
it's like stress all these imaginary
thoughts playing into the future
thinking about the future getting
stressed over things that haven't even
happened yet like worrying about work
worrying about all the problems you have
oh I have so many things to do oh I
failed at this this happened you know
thinking about like oh my god like what
am I gonna fuck up am I gonna do
something wrong like that that is all in
the future and that is why that is
create those thoughts are created by you
and you can let them keep going and and
get more anxious and build that shit up
or you can realize like I'm doing this
to myself
these are my thoughts and you can
control your thoughts as somebody with a
generalized anxiety disorder I can tell
you that is not true okay like if we
could control our thoughts like think
about it if we can control our thoughts
why would depress people to be depressed
a depressed person would be able to be
like oh think happy thoughts boom out of
depression the problem with anxiety
especially is these intrusive ruminating
thoughts but most of all Jake Paul like
like I said in my last video I know his
heart was in a good place
he just worded it terribly alright but
this is why we need to increase
awareness about mental health to help
educate other people and if nothing else
I hope my videos give you some
information to help educate the people
in your lives all right but let's move
on to the next clip I saw tweets coming
back to your tweet and to my tweet back
to it that said Jake Paul is famous Jake
Paul does not understand what it's like
to struggle with Dave that's right
that's why I hate is like people think
that I'm like not a human and that's
what me and my friends were talking
about like you know they're just like Oh
Jay Paul's rich Jake Paul has this Jake
Paul has the best life he's Jay like and
they're like why would you why would he
have anxiety he has the perfect life
like people not understand that everyone
is human and that none of those things
being famous having money mean fucking
anything and that the only thing that
matters is like friends human connection
how you feel your mental health exactly
so
in this portion right here Mike and Jake
and even Logan they're having this
conversation about how a lot of average
people just think that you know rich and
famous people don't experience mental
illness I might have brought it up in my
last video but I remember Justin Bieber
not a ton of backlash when it comes to
this so I agree and disagree okay if you
want to talk about how rich people have
more access to mental health care
absolutely but if you want to say that
they don't know what anxiety or
depression is like like you'd need to
understand hedonic adaptation okay like
if I gave you a hundred thousand dollars
right now you would be happy as fuck all
right but there would come a time where
that happiness was gone it's just
totally gone right because you adapt to
what happened and eventually that
money's gone
but even rich people okay they get
accustomed to that lifestyle so it's no
longer making them happy but one of the
reasons why this is so damn important to
talk about is because a lot of us
average people we think if I only had
this then I would be happy if I only had
this then I wouldn't be stressed one of
my favorite quotes I think it was
actually from Charlamagne tha God is
increased levels bring increased Devils
okay like let's say I gave you a million
dollars right now he'll look at anybody
who's won the lottery all of that stuff
comes with brand-new stresses you start
balling out of control you start
becoming rich right you have friends
family members coming out of the
woodwork asking you for money right
aside from that you have all these bills
to worry about all this you know the
taxes to worry about but also like if
you want to become an entrepreneur say
you want to own your own business say
you absolutely hate your boss hate your
job and you want to own your own place
that comes with a whole bunch of new
stresses right hiring firing employees
managing employees you
business is your baby so the reason why
we need to discuss this is because I
know a lot of you out there are badasses
and you're gonna succeed in life but you
need to know it's gonna come with new
stresses in high school you have certain
stresses in college you have certain
stresses after you graduate and get that
degree and get out there into the
workforce it's gonna be different
stresses we need to realize that there
is going to be stress sometimes anxiety
no matter where we're at in life my only
rebuttal when maybe this is just like
the way I the way I move is like I
really do try to put it into perspective
because like I I acknowledge the fact
that I because of my hard work now live
a privileged life I'm blessed or
whatever I'm fortunate and anytime I
find myself in times of really deep
sadness I really do try to put it into
perspective and say like you know it
could be worse like a hundred percent
and it's it's hard here you you
responded and sometimes it's hard like
specifically with you like you're very
blessed man so wait here when Logan Paul
says that you tries to maintain this
perspective this I wanted to point out
because there is so much scientific
evidence so much scientific evidence out
there that your perspective can help
your mental health okay
gratitude is the number one the number
one all right so like for example what I
try to do when I'm feeling my anxiety
when I'm feeling depressed is I try to
remember how far I've come I try to
remember what I've been through before
if you need a reason to start journaling
this is it all right a journal is
objective proof that nothing is going to
last forever you're not going to have
this same problem forever it's not gonna
impact you forever right and that kind
of perspective is very very beneficial
okay like for example I was talking to
one of the subscribers today who was
going through a breakup and I was
explaining to him like this is supposed
to hurt it's supposed to hurt I have no
advice for you it is supposed to hurt
but but I can tell you this you're gonna
get through this
and you're gonna look back on this and
it's not gonna hurt as bad so if you're
journaling you can look back at this and
baby man right I know this is gonna pass
so think about any anxiety that you've
experienced right like for me
when my anxiety is coming up something
that I always remember is I've been
through this before and I know it's
going to pass
alright so that perspective can be huge
all right and you don't have to believe
me you can talk to the scientists out
there who are doing a ton of research
around stuff like this like every form
of evidence-based therapy cognitive
behavioral therapy rational emotive
behavioral therapy a little bit of
dialectical behavioral therapy is all
about shifting your mindset and your
perspective anxiety depression manic all
those mental health disorders are very
subjective to the person there are
certain things where certain people
where none of those coping mesozoic so
sorry I'm up social so should people
just not talk about what coping
mechanisms work for them is it because
that's what happened you like I only
Jake Paul would get shitted on for
talking about how he deals or things I
so I do want to talk about this because
there's in my opinion in the mental
health community there's far too much
gate keeping so much gate keeping right
like oh you don't have anxiety I have
anxiety oh you don't have depression I
have depression oh you call that trauma
I have trauma right like regardless of
your opinions about Jake Paul I feel
that everybody should be able to talk
about their mental health or their
opinions or their perspective on mental
health and we should have conversations
rather than fighting about it right but
anyways like if you watch the podcast if
you want to watch the podcast um I think
it's beneficial long-form content is
much better especially because a tweet
is what fucking like 280 characters if
you watch the whole podcast you you
realize that
Jake Paul had a lot of things going on
in life he woke up feeling good he
thought he could be helpful with that
tweet
like personally I believe him and he
sent that tweet out which was worded
really doubly right but anyways like we
need to understand that especially with
a tweet when people send those out there
in a certain place in their life and we
don't know exactly what they're going
through you know what I mean if nothing
else like like we're all on this journey
together and we need we need to remember
that and when we're judging others we
need to remember that they're going
through things that we might not know
about and this isn't just with Jake Paul
this is with everybody in your life like
let me tell you I used to have such bad
anger issues and one of the main ways
that I chill the fuck out is I realize
that I have no idea what that person is
going through like how many times have I
snapped at people for something that was
going on in my life that they didn't
even know about right so I need to
express that same kind of empathy
towards others all right so we have this
final clip right here yeah I also I also
think that you're the response to this
has been incredibly outsized I think
that you were pounded to your point
because your Jake Paul and because
people love to get on the bandwagon to
hate someone so this is my my one main
problem with these guys talking about
this subject it just seems like I made a
video on my main channel about Mike
magic defending Jake Paul it really
seems like there's a gigantic gigantic
lack of self-awareness okay like they're
they're basically looking at the tip of
the iceberg and the most recent event
and like Oh everybody just hops on the
Jake Paul hate train and everything like
that like we need to understand that
there is a history that led up to this
point it's not like Jake Paul was
leading this like amazingly perfect
life and just doing good by everybody
and then this happened or people have
been hassling him for like donating to
charity and all this other stuff like
people have reasons for this like
especially especially the fact that he
just announced his recent scam campaign
all right like if you haven't yet I
highly recommend you watch drew gooden
video following up on Jake Paul's team
1000 scam that he ran like a year or two
ago and now he's doing this like like he
just announced his new scam right this
like get-rich-quick scheme or this
passive income scheme and then this so
people already had a bad taste in their
mouth which primed them to get fucking
pissed at him right like I'll use myself
as an example I was a drug addict and
alcoholic for almost 10 years right so
in early sobriety I got pissed when
people didn't trust me or I got pissed
when people thought I had bad intentions
but what did I expect I just spent the
fucking decade luring cheating and
stealing and screwing everybody over
like it's no wonder so like when I
watched Jake
Paul and especially Mike that dude Mike
talks a ton right there seems to be this
lack of self-awareness and I don't think
that any of them or any public figure or
any of us for that matter are ever going
to break this cycle of being so affected
by other people unless we look at our
recent series of fuck-ups because then
we could say oh yeah I guess I can kind
of understand that reaction you know
what I mean so like for example I say
somebody's cheating on their significant
other over and over and over and over
and over and over again and then a month
later after being like you know faithful
look whom could you don't trust me it's
like it's probably based on all that
other shit you know what I mean it's
gonna take time like oh and with this
it's a Beiber maturity thing for sure
you know it's I don't I don't I don't
think it's you playing victory at all
like I think I think we're trying to
determine why maybe you are the
you are just like I had to do after my
shape like I had to ask myself why did
why did this happen why did I become
this way I reached the conclusion I
found an answer and tried to go back
down the road where I was at the fork
and then go the right way I'll end with
this I don't I don't like logan paul's
content at all but you cannot deny that
dude's growth you can't all right
like from filming a dead body in japan
in 2017 to where he is now like the dude
has stayed away from controversy he
hasn't been going over the top and all
of this and witnessing that podcast and
seeing logan paul try to pass his wisdom
on to Jake I'm like damn this dude has
grown like don't get me wrong there's
been some things when people are like oh
logan paul said this and uh you know
whatever but that's just the same
bullshit that everybody deals with but
that dude has grown I don't watch his
content
I don't tune into his podcast unless say
I feel like there's a reason to like
this video and I wanted to you know get
more context around Jake Paul but
hopefully Jake can learn from Logan you
know what I mean like Logan he can fuck
up now and people won't jump on him the
same way he is Jake they would Jake
because he's been repairing that image
you see what I mean anyways let me know
your thoughts on the whole subject down
below sorry my videos have been so long
but I like talking all of you I love you
I miss you I like spending time with you
well let me know your thoughts on Mental
Health Awareness should people become
more educated about mental health before
speaking publicly about it what do you
think about the gatekeeping subject like
oh you don't fully understand I do but
you don't like what do you think about
that stuff let me know down in the
comments below all right anyways that's
all I got for this video if you like
this video please give it a thumbs up if
you're new makes you subscribe and wing
