Hey, all! Johnny here - thank you so much for watching this talk and sharing your stories. If you made it all the way to the end, what's the one habit you're replacing, and what do you plan on replacing it with? I'd love to hear from you!

Every one is struggling. EV-ERY-ONE. We aren’t alone in our human condition and the world is designed to deny who we are for the sake of the perception of others. Congruent talks like this are changing that way of thinking.

Him and the band he’s in is the reason I’m still alive and working on my mental health today

I met Johnny on World Mental Health day, after a show he did in Ohio. I had just been released from the hospital after a suicide attempt. Hearing his music, hearing his words, feeling that support.. hearing the music and the lyrics that hit me and seemed to understand me, has helped me continue to be here and exist today. Thank you Johnny, for all you’ve done.

Internal RAM just does its thing. Schema therapy is where I learnt a lot about the way the brain wires itself for efficiency. I often have to check myself when I have huge emotions to check if I am just using old pathways. I mean, even doing that all the time is exhausting but it gradually becomes more natural.

There is a wonderful rhetoric these days that it is normal and healthy to be in therapy. What isn’t said is that being in therapy doesn’t mean you are better or fixed or flourishing. It is a small part of the journey and a therapist is a sounding board, not a cure. We need to open this conversation up beyond the start points.

Johnny I sat next to you as an intern a few years back. It's so incredible to see how much you're helping people, and all you've accomplished. I loved your TED talk, thank you for all you do!

I have been fortunate enough to talk to Johnny, and he is the real deal. We all have walked with demons, many simply succumb. But this man has found ways out that work. I like him... and I like what he's doing.

Finally! Somebody told it. Growth needs a lot of time! Usually, people only say do that and you get something. But nobody warns that sometimes you have to do it 10 or even 100 times! It needs time.

The mind can be so dangerous when it runs rampant and crazy, what a good young man, this talk is very important and should be seen.

This all hits so deeply. Life can throw some majorly unpleasant change at us - living is learning. Allowing ourselves to have our eyes, minds, and hearts opened can bring about some really beautiful change in us as people, though, if we let it. Thank you for sharing on this journey with us and for shedding light into the depths of mental health. We need more vocalization to continue breaking down barriers and stigmas. Love to all.

The amount of times I have been mad at my brain. Why can’t it just be better, I knew logically what it needed to do, yet it just wouldn’t do the thing. Brains are the worst.

Sadly, you are so right. Life is not a movie. There is no moment and no happy ending. I have my own long mental health rap sheet, been in and out of so many treatments after so many diagnoses. There has been no one thing that ‘cured’ me, if anything what has helped me most is accepting that there is no cure and that I don’t need ‘fixing’ because I am not broken. I have taken all of those things I have tried over all those years to create my own flags and responses so I can support me to live my life my way. I’ll probably end up back in treatment or hospital again and that is ok because I know that I can ask for help and also know when to do it. Thank you for this talk Johnny- more people need talks just like this.

I am grateful that the narrative around process is changing. Comparing and judging ourselves never produces anything positive and every one has a unique journey, it's about time we accepted that.

"Detached from reality" is exactly how I feel now. Sometimes, I just get really tired and I haven't had my own turning point for some time now while others look all figured out. However, I just decided to take a break and find myself through personal growth. It's not easy, because I've been so negative! This video helps me a lot. More steps to go and truly do grow. This gave me a little hope :).
