Yep, that one hits pretty close to home.

Hang in there. It does get better.

Thanks for sharing. I never would have seen it otherwise.

Thanks for posting that clip. I'll make sure to watch it later. My mother suffered from bi-polar disorder.

Thanks all for the positive vibes, much appreciated !
Riding/racing has always been my outlet and watching that video was like I said, it hit home. Was so down and depressed I didn't want anything to do with 2 wheels then the High side of things I was arrested a few times til I got my life back in order.
Again thank you all for the positively, it makes a persons day more than ya think Smile

Really does hit close to home. Been mentally declining for over a year now. Sold my street bike a little over a year ago because I just did not enjoy it anymore. The part he said about how literally nothing makes you happy is so true. No matter how good you feel, you know its not going to last..

Hypocritical coming from me, but seriously, seek out help if you need it people.

Thanks for the link, like the other guy said, never woulda seen it otherwise.

This is cool because it's moto related but also hits way to close to home for me personally.

Hoping to get some much needed help later this month with either some counseling or medicine. Either way, something has to change.

If I buy one more dirtbike to fill the never ending void within, my wife promises to leave for good (I dont think shes joking)! Stay healthy friends

Very cool short film. I’m a licensed therapist and bi-polar is no cakewalk. I think this sport has a big stigma with mental health - in context with American male culture in general - so hopefully this inspires people to reach out.

I work with a lot of people with bi-polar who live normal lives with a proper treatment team. left untreated, it can cause a lot of pain and suffering.

Is it possible to change the thread name to the name of the video? More people need to see this!
