what mental illness does JREG have? i'm exactly like him but a tranny, and i would like to define myself with a label because i can not tell what i am in a way meaningful to me.

i especially relate to not trusting the words coming out of my mouth and my thoughts being in a superposition.

That is the LAST person you should try to model yourself after ,their whole thing is shitting on stuff like that (I aktually find it quite annoying in all honesty)

>>40084894
i'm not trying to model myself after him. the whole point of his serious videos (which are still drenched in layers of irony, but have a meaning behind those layers) is that you should *not* be like him.

an answer to my post probably wouldn't help me and might even be detrimental but i felt the need to ask anyways.

>>40084894
>>40084923
i think the reason i want to know is so i can figure out how to stop being like him

>>40084923
I feel like just engaging in JREG will give you some really rare forms of brainworms in general
Might be easier if you post a video that is not as skizo to understand as JREG
He may have a bunc of things ,but I did hear him mention depression at the end when skipping through

>>40084940
Looking at JREG's kontent ,most of it is overtly politikal ,I think it might have something to do with that ,espesially given how muc he konnekts politiks to mental health

Holy ,what a PAINFUL interview
?People aktually watc Destiny
What a LOSER

It seems JREG has issues with his sense of identity ,espesially with all his stuff that relates to his own opinions and suc

>>40084948
i already have his brainworms. i dont interact much, and when i do it's only the schizo videos that i feel he's being genuine in. thanks for the labels :3
>>40084964
his mental illness/politics combo videos come across as not very serious to me. he seems to link unrelated concepts for fun

Watcing that video ,he really seems like an insekure 14 year old who lakks a solid identity and information about politiks yet wants to talk about it anyway

?What kommon behaviors ,attitudes ,ets of yourself have you trakked over the years and found to be konsistent

thats the point lol. they're trolling him

What bafflingly personally unlikable people
Truly proves that literally any random fukk ,no matter how unlikable ,kan gather a following online

>>40085115
why do you type like that

>>40085087
paranoia, anxiety, thinking i know things about myself or other people that i don't. many other things than those, but i said the word schizo so now i'm stuck on thoughts that feel related to that

>>40085141
?Anything more benign or mundane

>>40085147
i thought people didn't like me, and nobody wanted to be around me or talk to me throughout most of school. i struggle to enjoy any new hobby i pick up for longer than 6 months at best (this has been present my whole life). i get stuck in my head a lot. i don't trust my feelings.
something in my mind stopping me from sharing more (or maybe i just can't remember)

>>40085150
makes sense. i used reddit instead of talking to people throughout high school.

>>40085161
>"i thought people didn't like me, and nobody wanted to be around me or talk to me throughout most of school"
That isn't you ,thats other people

>"i struggle to enjoy any new hobby i pick up for longer than 6 months at best (this has been present my whole life)"
My ADHD makes it that I kan only play the same game for a few days or weeks at a time

>"i get stuck in my head a lot. i don't trust my feelings."
?Why

>>40085168
i don't know much about myself. i don't know anything about myself at the moment. i can't answer any more questions.

>>40085172
Dam ,well if you don't know ,I have no idea how anyone else would know
I would definitely first work on introspektion

>>40085183
i introspekt and there's nothing there :p

Notes for JREP for anon

3:20 contradiction, claims that everything he says is part of a character but also claims to be feeling very vulnerable. This could be a set up for plausible deniability outside of this video or this could be truly be the thoughts of a character he's playing. I believe it's both, his descriptions of his thoughts seem too accurate, showing he's lived through these thoughts before

Suicidal ideation, in context to this video, is found in the term "I want to die" but not in the sense that ppl think. Instead of truly wanting to die, a person can say this but mean they want to vanish or stop feeling something that they believe that they can't otherwise avoid, usually pain of some sort. Still, it's considered suicidal ideation because it's a person's thoughts of wanting to be dead.

4:50 minization. Its a form of coping for some and invalidation in others. Its honestly a very slippery slide and the only way to tell the difference between them is how you feel after minimizing the object. For example, minizaing as a cope will be "this bad thing happened to me but at least its not as bad as this other thing that happened to me" and then you feel better. Minimizing as invalidation is seen on this video. "I'm sad but at least I'm not a starving child" is a sentence that makes him feel worse. Invalidation can come from many parts of you, insecurity, low self esteem, fear of judgement, etc. In this case, he's saying this statement as a way to cope but it fails, making him feel worse. The resulting guilt will continue to make the feeling worse and it may turn into a cycle.

5:20why does talking make you feel worse?
theres a lot of reasons. You may feel like the person you talk to doesn't understand your struggle, there is a disconnection between you and the person you're talking to (or people in general), or you feel helpless in the situation you're in.

>>40085190
Thank you Pico :3

P.S.
Every time I see your username I think about that time you impregnated me with your litter of puppies.

>>40085189
Make something then
You kan deside what to kreate ,and I advise something you add to your future identity be a strong dedikation towards justise akkompanied with diligent ,objektive kritikal analysis of ethiks (or the modern day's lakk thereof) and the world around you
If you have a more or less blank kanvas for a personality ,it really is up to you to deside what to add there ,and up to you to diktate what kind of person you will be

>>40085190
In the videos case, I feel as though the main reason talking makes him feel worse is because he fears judgement from others. On his head the person doesn't want to hear about his feelings, ever. This could be true but in most cases its an feeling that's caused by insecurity.

6:10 d-word
Feeling temperately depressed vs clinical depression (Major depression disorder or persistent depression disorder)

6:30 self diagnosing is okay as speculation. You know your mind better than anyone. Thinking sentences such as "I think I'm depressed" or "i think I have [clinical] depression" is okay. Bring it up with a doctor or a specialist if you have these speculations and want to get them treated. You can also self treat these speculations, through books and self actualiztion, it actually works.

7:30 I'm not too sure if these are things he purely thinks or if it's something he's been told but these are still signs of insecurity. His reluctantcy to vent may be impacting his ability to cope as it further isolates him from his support group. Venting to much to one person exclusively or repeatedly talking about an issue over and over and over can burn a person out though, which is why a big support group is vital.

7:45 I believe he both feels this way and plays a character.

>>40085161
from your description I think for sure persistent depressive disorder. major depressive disorder too if you feel it particularly intense. you can have both. please take the PHQ-9 test and see if your symptoms match/you get a high school.
take my answer however you like. I'm not a lisensed professional but I'm a 3rd year biopsychology major who has a special interest in mental illness and pharmaceutic and cognitive therapeutic methods. I hope any of this is helpful. I can finish the videos analysis too if you'd like, i actually had a lot of fun writing it

>>40085205
MY BAD

>>40085208
there's a big disconnect between what i say i am and who i am. i don't want to make that bigger by making things up with no evidence/memories to draw on.

>>40085210
from your first reply:
>This could be a set up for plausible deniability outside of this video or this could be truly be the thoughts of a character he's playing.
I think he, to an extent, had become the characters he plays. He's mentioned in other videos that he doesn't know where the mask ends and his face begins.

i can't talk much more or think much more tonight. would you want to drop your discord or i could drop mine?

>>40085223
>"making things up"
It isn't making things up ,it is self determination
I'm not saying you dream up a skizo bakkstory ,but that you deside what kind of person you want to be ,and go from there
If you have some direktion to move in ,your natural personality and tendensies will bekome klear with diligent introspektion

>>40085232
wouldn't that just be autizmoaffective disorder?

>>40085223
i can drop my burner account and through there i can drop my real discord
or if ur okay w it you can just directly drop ur discord

>d word
my mom (whom is unreliable) says i was diagnosed with depression. i think at about 10-13 years old.

>6:30
i tend to get really involved in the self diagnosing, and the more i think about it the worse the thoughts get. i try to manage based on symptoms and don't draw on any one possible diagnosis too much.

>7:30
i think it's one of those superpositions he talks about later

>>40085250
drop ur burner pls

>>40084852 (OP)
Any jreg enjoyer knows the guy has said multiple times his a diagnosed schizo unironically and dealed with depression and suicidal ideation. something something he is currently in his comunnity and artist era and i respect that more than everything

managing his online presence involves a level of lucidity and organisation that an actual schizophrenic couldn't deal with. all his "schizo" talk is just a substitute for having a real identity. the manic-depressive kind of bpd seems more likely desu

>>40086902
there are many more types of schizo than schizophrenic

His podcast killed any love I had for the guy, he should've really killed the wacky shit after the twomad video, atleast. Now he's just a less funny Nathan Fielder (the comparison being they're both playing mentally-ill characters pretending it's them for career purposes, JREG is just doing it in a nicher way by making slop content where he interviews other z-list internet celebs who are also pretending to be schizos).
