Guys when I release videos talking about mental health, I get an enormous amount of messages, emails, and other communications regarding issues that are best discussed with a licensed therapist. As much as love this community and desire to help, I'm just a dude, struggling like a lot of us do, and have a hard enough time handling my own issues. I wish that I could help every person who sends a message individually, but it does get overwhelming and in the past has been pretty gnarly for my own mental well being to try and play therapist to hundreds of awesome folks when I have literally no idea what I'm doing in that area. If you need help, I encourage you to seek counseling from an awesome therapist, and see a psychiatrist if you think meds might help you function better. (Not just a doctor/ family practitioner, but a legit psychiatrist) It might take a few tries to get a therapist/psychiatrist who you jive with, but I promise, when you find the right therapist it makes a world of difference and can save your life. Also, insurance lately has been way better at helping with psychiatry and therapy. My current insurance covers almost the whole bill, and both psychiatry, meds, and therapy end up costing about $20-$30 a month and it has been 100% worth every penny. I still have a long way to go, but I have more hope now than I've had in a long time. Much love guys! Stay strong and know that you are not alone!

I've been through the same type of thing and I have come to believe that if your body doesn't have every vitamin and minerals it needs it will function the best it can for a long time until it starts screaming at you that something is wrong. Once you have your nutrition covered then and only then is it mental. Then you can focus on a positive attitude. You have a great attitude so I'm thinking you're missing some kind of vitamin I'm mineral.

Hi ,this guy really helped me ,plz check him out.Douglas Bloch . kzread.info/dron/5WoedYrJVKba21MZiGd1MQ.html Also whenever you are in that dark place. Just try to bear it for just one more hour,and one more day. I follow you from the other side of the world from india. I really like your videos. So plz keep holding on.

“WHAT AM I DOING TO MY CHANNEL “. you just made this the most HONEST channel I subscribe to....it takes a real man to share your struggle. God Bless you. Life is a roller coaster, just stay on the ride.

So true Tyler, there's light at the end of the tunnel, but often then it's back into the tunnel again... and as you say sometimes all you can do it just hang in there, hoping the light is on its way. You certainly aren't alone, I have friends struggling as you are, and I see how hard it can be. In the first world we have had it so good, for so long, it's easy to assume that happiness is our birthright. But of course history shows how brutal life can be... whether it's poverty, war or the neurotransmitters in our brain beating ourselves up! I'm glad you can still see what you need to do... just hanging in there. Remembering it will get better, even though that seems impossible. Focusing on the really important things like your family. And talking about it, not keeping it all inside. You are not alone!

Jees Tyler - that is one of the best most powerful videos I have ever seen on KZread. I have huge admiration for you for putting this out there, incredible stuff. I have no words that can help you I'm afraid other than to heed your own advice and hang in there as those around you need you....I need you! I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this.....much love from across the pond - ride safe buddy.

Thank you for being so brave and sharing this for those of us who still struggle to find the words.stay strong. I also am diagnosed with severe depression and c-PTSD. I needed this so much right now again thank you. 🙏💜

I’m an unemotional normal guy but you opened my eyes to reality. I love your channel so you better hang in there and keep those videos coming. That’s an order from a brother who’s been following you right from the time you quit teaching and started riding. You’re a fighter and I’m sure this too shall pass. I live right across the globe, in India but riding with you is on my bucket list and you better not disappoint me.

Have you heard about the Access Center here in St George? I hope you come see us there when you're in crisis and feeling suicidal. We take walk-ins 24/7, and you can meet with a crisis worker and psychiatrist, and we can keep you safe. Keep fighting the good fight, you have a lot of people who love and need you!

Be strong friend, you are not alone, greetings from Bolivia...you are a really great rider and a great person

I notice you mentioned the video is not for people who are normal. A very close family member has gone through very difficult mental health issues for much of her life, and her therapist mentioned to her (and she shared with me) that having a chemical imbalance in the brain is no different than someone being born with type 1 diabetes, or any other illness. There's nothing abnormal than that. You are a great person who deserves to be here and has a family who loves you.

Chemical imbalance is caused by modern lifestyles. We are living too easily, no need to worry about dangers of nature, too disconnected. That's not to say people with depression and other mental health issues need to start living in a hunter gatherer tribe, but steps toward nature helps

daft nord interesting concept. If you are one who enjoys reading, give the book “Sapiens” a read. It talks about culture itself as a divergence from biological instinct that can be a cause of anxiety and depression. Not one culture over another, just its existence that stresses chemical responses in the brain. As all members of human society have culture, I believe that the resulting depression and thoughts of suicide are in fact normal responses. Not to say they are desirable effects or should be left untreated, but those suffering are “normal people.”

I am more likely to ride with someone who can face their demons versus someone who denies them & suffers in darkness.

You're right, hearing this isn't comfortable Neither is sharing it Seeing someone suffer when you haven't a clue how to help, brings out avoidant behavior in people, which is sad All I can do is listen, and let you know that I care I'm glad you're still with us, I'm glad that you trust us enough to share this with us, and I fervently hope things get better for you

I would be sooo blessed to have a friend like you to share thoughts with and ride motorcycles. I think you are an awesome guy . It takes true personal courage to share your experiences and to keep pressing on. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 😊🙏🏻

It's all too easy to feel like we are alone when it comes to these issues. I needed to hear this now more than you could ever know. Thanks.

Amen brother. It's brave to open yourself up to the world like this. Someone needed to hear this and I'm glad you had the strength to share. Love you man, hope I get the chance to meet you some day!

My wife struggles with a lot of the same feelings you do. I was watching this in the bed and it caught my wife's ear, she laid down next to me and listened, cried a little, and said that she really appreciated what you had to say and that she was worried about you. Stay true to who you are, doesn't matter what people think you are doing with YOUR channel. Much love

Since my girlfriend left me, when i was 28, i suffer from depression, i am 51 and things are not pretty, i´m glad you talk about it, i go to see a therapist again. People don´t understand that is a illness just like any other. You must realize that IS NOT your fault. It takes courage to talk open about these private issues, but you are helping people to search for therapy, and that is what a man should do. Congratulations.

We need you, Tyler! Love you Mystic Rider! You have thousands of lights in that tunnel. Starting with your wife and kids and then all of us dorks who ride. I'm wearing one of your shirts today in your honor.

"I wouldn't want to go on a motorcycle tour with a crazy person". Welll, I don't know about that but would I go on a tour with a man who's shown the courage and integrity you've just put on very public display? In a bloody heartbeat. Strength and best wishes to you, Tyler. One day when this virus thing settles down I hope I'll have the privilege of riding with you in eveRide-land.

30 Years ago I failed at my attempt to crash my bike at full highway speed. I don't know how but I only broke my leg. by chance I spent time in the hospital room with a man with bone cancer he was also a therapist. it saved my life and I got the help I needed. I don't know if he survived but THANK YOU... please if you need help get it, your loved ones will be thankful.

That was heavy... Wish I had the answers, my friend! Just know that I listened...

As a strange coincidence, I put on my Everide ADV shirt before I knew there was a video, so I guess God wanted me to watch. You said there'd be a moto overlay, but watching you was so much better, so much more powerful. It was hard to watch, honestly, but so compelling. Much Love to you.

Man, I almost don't post here, but you are a motivation for many people and you know it Just here to say keep going

🙏🙏🙏 for you and all who are suffering. PTSD/any mental health issue is no joke. Thanks for sharing your story 🤙🏻

You displayed the courage of a thousand heros to post this video. God bless you, you can get through this. Looking forward to more eveRide!

It's a misnomer that ptsd is just military thing. There's probably more people who suffer from ptsd and complex ptsd, who never served at all.

Left home 0700. Rode bike to work. All day and especially on the way I had suicidal thoughts. They have been there since I can recall. I don't want to die. I love my 2 little ones and wife. I just dotn know why I feel it. This video came like an guardian angel. Love you Ty. Be strong brother❤️

Well done respect to you! It takes balls to open up to the world about mental health. Such a huge issue! I find getting out on the bike and exploring nature puts alot of things in perspective .keep up the good work!

We all have that little voice in their head that tells you, “this is great, this is fun, this is not fun, this is dangerous,” etc. For me depression was that voice lying to me, you’re no good, you don’t matter, etc. So just remember these depressing thoughts are lies. I hope you get better and I wish you all the best.

Dude, I went through the same. No doctor nor medicine could cure my illness. Try one thing: RUNNING. Running is the best medicine for mental illness. Not biking, not walking, not tennis, not swimming, not any other sport. Running. You can start slow. Speed is not the goal. Distance is. Develop your running program and schedule.

Tyler, thanks for the video and giving a voice to all of us who have our own mental health struggles. I am so grateful that mental health struggles have been able to come out of the closet and lose some of it’s negative stigma. Thank you for being a voice of hope and being open, vulnerable, and honest.

I tell everyone willing to listen that I’m on anti-depressant/anti-anxiety meds......not for sympathy, but because I want others that might be too embarrassed to admit they are having issues to understand it’s more prevalent than they might know. If the body chemistry is off, you can’t fight it. It’s like trying to talk yourself out of being blotto-drunk. Doesn’t matter what you say to yourself....you’ll still be wasted. There's interesting studies being done on Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and their ability to reset the brain chemistry for extended periods of time. I've considered "taking a trip", even though I don't support illicit drug use. I'm not a cop or soldier either but the PTSD aspect is real for me. I've never been suicidal but the it's agony sometimes. Hang in there!!

Love is the answer brother! Mindfulness was the cure to my psychological emotional hardship or neurosis. You will find peace with time!! Trust the process, there are so many lessons in pain, so many gifts. This video is a gift for those who need to see it. Thank you!♥️

Thank you Tyler. You are definitely not alone. And it helps a great deal to know that neither am I. Much love brother.

I almost didnt watch this video to be honest. I am so glad that I did. You being so open with your struggles with mental health is inspiring. Dont ever stop, you are amazing. Also, "What am l doing to my channel?" This is exactly what you need to be doing. You are truly inspiring!

To have the courage to step outside of yourself, to offer guidance to others suffering speaks volumes to what a compassionate person you are...and how important it is for you to be here! Thank you! ❤️

Just the fact that you made this video proves that your a good person and your life is valuable. Its obvious that you want to help those that are struggling. Keep fighting man! Take it one day at a time! I'll pray for you. Thanks for sharing, these are things that need to be talked about.

18:37 says it all. Your Family Needs You!

Tyler... I heard every word you said. You are not alone. We're here when you need us. I am thankful for all of what you've done for me. I appreciate you.

Tyler - what can I say, apart from we love you man, we watch everything you do here from Australia, you've inspired all of us to ride and taught us so much. I know you're a man of faith, as am I, my prayers are with you and your family. Thanks for doing what you did - you are right, people needed to hear it and you aren't alone. Thanks for the massive courage it took to make that video, thanks for blessing us all with your honesty.

Talking is a healthy way to cope with these issues. Thank you so very much for your words and sharing your pain. I hope you stick with seeing your Dr and continue to seek help. Never give up or give into these negative impulsive or thoughts. Peace brother

Don’t lose sight of all the things that are precious to you.

I’m at your side mate, even though I’m half a world away in Australia. To ride with you someday would be a pleasure and a privilege mate. Take care, Pat

If a sponsor can't appreciate that, fire them and get another one! Keep seeking the light brother, it's always waiting there right around the darkest corner.

I’m blown away. Your a class act my friend. Thank You!🙏🏻

Tyler, I just watched your vid. It's very interesting to hear how your mind thinks suicide is the answer but your heart tells you life is precious. I really hope you can get a handle on this . What helps me is knowing that it's not all about me, it's about those around me and my job is to help them on their path through this life.

I can't sit idly by and not reach out to you and let you know that you matter! You bring meaning and definition to my life. You are an amazing videographer. If you were situated closer to southern Arizona I would seek you out and we would go on amazing rides. Don't give up on yourself! Sometimes we feel that we are just a spec of sand on an entire beach but you are more than that and bring joy to 143,000 subscribers such as myself. Thanks for reminding us to be good to each other especially in these challenging times. Your contributions are deeply meaningful to me and to many just like me. Please keep bringing your content in a way that you see fit , unregulated by sponsors and extraneous outsiders and your KZread channel will thrive!

Thank you, Tyler. Please do hang on. I hope you know you're no alone. If reaching out to some random dude in Alberta, Canada (that is, me) would be of any benefit - don't hesitate to do so. Thanks for all you do. You have a huge impact on a lot of lives.

Hey Tyler, I'm glad you're you, and I'm glad you're doing what you do buddy. You're taking care of yourself, and that's the hardest step. Much luv friend.

When feeling down, remember that not only your closest family but even us- stranger subscribers want you around because you are a person of great value!

Yes, I'm lucky. But many of my family members struggle just like you Tyler. Thank you for doing what you can to reach out to others on the edge. Thank you for doing what you can to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. A lot more of mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters would still be here in our world if more people were willing to open their minds and understand that mental illness is all around us, it is us, it is normal. It took my bipolar brother 10 years to find a decent med balance - and still needs tweaking now and then. I also fully agree with your posted comment about finding the right therapist / counselor - a lot of folks give up when they don't click with the first one...it just doesn't work that way. As you said, you have to find one that works for you and they are out there. Much Love Tyler.

Raw and honest, thanks for sharing with viewers. I am sending this to friends who i love and will hear your words. ADV is awesome but this is so much more important than ride videos or glove reviews. Stay strong. Thank you.

3 years ago I had no idea about mental illness, I thought I did, but then I had my own mental heath issue which still endures to this day. I’ve sort help which has been amazing. The whole process has lead me to make some pretty big changes in my life. I find a great deal of peace riding motorbikes. I’ve started an adventure tour business, which has got me excited about getting out of bed again. Having a passion for something is the secret to my happiness. I’m still on medication, but day by day I can feel I’m returning to the old me, but with one big difference. I have a greater empathy for people and their struggles. I’m not as hard nosed as I once was. Thanks for this video it reminds me that I am not alone.

I'll be totally Frank and candid with you, sending Love your way!

With the year we've been having, I really needed this, and today specifically. Thank you.

My mentor, riding coach, mechanic, best friend, but his best title to me was dad, committed suicide 10 yr 9 months ago. He is one of the 22, Vietnam veteran and one hell of a good dude. He taught me how to ride, and we raced enduro, hare scramble and motocross together. We rode miles and miles of west Texas trails together. We were actually in a enduro race together, about 59 miles in, when the moment hit that we both realized that I was finally a faster rider. He pulled over, with pride in his eyes and told me to go ahead, knowing we were behind the race schedule. That is a moment I’ll never forget, and believe me there are plenty of people that have a strange but similar memory with you. There isn’t a day that goes by that he isn’t in my thoughts. By watching your video, I can tell you know there are people that care for you, just hold on to that in the dark times. This is a quote that a military buddy once told me when I was in a dark place. “Suicide doesn’t end your pain, it only passes it to your loved ones.” I wear this thought just under my skin everyday. Personally, I’d love to ride with you! Me and the wife are currently full-timing in a toy hauler and will be in Heber City till the end of October with no destination next. I’ll bring the Tequila! ; IGY6 (please look this up if you don’t know). From a perfect stranger, know you matter and you’re loved! Brandon

You said it Tyler, sometimes it’s just “Hang On” the wheel of life keeps turning, have faith in that. Better times will come yes and we will enjoy them, but we know the wheel will turn back to darker times, and so we try to learn how to endure them Best wishes

Your very brave and amazing to share this with so many. Thank you!! My son has the same kind of darkness that he gos through all the time. So many needed this video! Thank you thank you thank you. It takes so much courage to say those things ❤️

That you so much. This really helped me understand these issues more than I did before. Very brave of you.

Thanks for posting this. I sure you've helped someone today. I think mental health is a struggle for more people than we realise. Seeking help and sharing your struggle with those around you is hard but Im happy youre doing it. Dont let the media get to you, the world is on fire, but its always been that way. much love and brap

Takes a lot to come clean on your personal problems, remember take 1 minute then 1 hour then 1 day at a time. I don't suffer from your situation but I will say that you are an inspiration to me and so many! Thanks for the share and I hope to see you and your videos for as long as I can be on this planet... When I feel down and unhappy I goto my moto garage and put on eveRide videos to bring me back. Thank you for what you do and so sorry you struggle with this, hang in there sir for yourself and family you will win the battle in your mind if anyone can do it it's you.......

Thank you for your message! ♥️🙏

Love you brother.. I'm struggling to breath all the time and so there with you in my love and hope

Love you Tyler! Years ago your videos helped me enter the wonderful world of motorcycling. I am forever grateful.

Thanx for sharing. I really love that you are so brave and open to share your emotions and feelings. Best video ever.

Thanks you for sharing you difficulties. I'm praying for you and others that struggle with metal illnesses! As you said, things will get better. Put your trust in our Lord.

Thank you. With your videos you have helped more than you can possibly imagine with my depression and ptsd. When you are out there riding in the desert and you think you're alone remember that I and I'm sure alot of others are right there with you,and know that myself and others would not be alive except for you.

I think one of my favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who said, "the masses of men live lives of quiet desperation". your not crazy, your human. We all feel the despair at some point in our lives, some of us more than others. In so far as booking a trip with the 'Crazy guy", I think I would rather travel with him than the mindless automaton looking to make a buck! Brave post! Good luck. There are people out there whom you've never met that care about you and wish you the best. One day at a time!!!

Tyler, you're an inspiration in so many ways brother. Despite having never met you - through this and your other videos I feel as though you're someone I've known a long time. Hell, you inspired me to begin riding a bit over a year ago. Stay strong and believe in what you say - because you truly are not alone and the same can be said for so many others. Look forward to meeting you one of these days on a rally. Cheers.

Thank you so much for sharing. You’re an amazing human being. I pray you find peace. I’ve also struggled with ptsd, it was a dark place, there is life after!

Really appreciated the honesty of this and I hope you get the right help.

Praying for you brother...thank you for being open..it shows you have the character of a champion..love your channel and will continue to ..FOREVERIDE..

You are loved and appreciated. And we’ll go through this journey together

That was really powerful I am so glad I took the time to watch. Thank you so much for posting, you did a fantastic job and you absolutely have connected with people. Nice job!!!!!!!

Love from Toronto, man. Thank you for putting this out there.

Thanks for sharing, stay strong. The struggle is real.

Hang in there man, your not alone... big hug from Argentina! hope some day we can ride together!

As someone who comes from a family with mental health issues I can only say Bravo to you Tyler for speaking up and being honest about your issues. So many people know they have issues yet deny it when people reach out to them, so good on you for taking ownership. Hang in there brother, you are loved and valued by more people than you will ever know. Love and prayers for you from Phil & Little Red Rooster in Australia.

Well done for talking through that. It was a tough watch and I struggle at times. Can’t say as bad now as in the past but all the same your braver than me in talking about it.
