[ *ADDITIONAL NOTES* ]
This video was originally uploaded in October of 2019. FYI: Since this video I've gotten on much better meds and am working at a much better job than I was at the time I made this video, so I am in an immensely better headspace these days. However, I am not going to remove or re-edit depressing portions of this video, because it's important to be realistic and honest in showing how I struggled a few years back. Painting an unrealistically happy and easygoing image of myself isn't healthy for the parasocial relationship I have with my viewers. They need to know they're not alone in their struggles, and that my life wasn't always as good as it is nowadays.
