Vampire stories have been popping up for centuries, and some of them are a lot scarier -- and
less sparkly -- than others.
The most common stories involve dead people walking the Earth with pale skin, a fear of
sunlight, and a thirst for blood … but that myth might actually have some basis in scientific
fact.
Really.
Most cultures have some sort of vampire-like story.
In Chinese folklore, for example, there are evil spirits that drain your life away, and
in India, there are legends about demons who used to be people, but weren't cremated
properly.
Mainly, these myths probably came from a deep misunderstanding of how diseases spread.
During epidemics like the plague, people were understandably terrified and needed an explanation
for the apparent randomness of illness.
But the vampire myth that's caught on in pop culture has very specific symptoms, and
scientists believe they might be traced back to actual medical conditions.
The first possible connection is a group of disorders called porphyria, which are caused
by too much of a molecule in your blood called porphyrin.
Your red blood cells mostly contain a massive protein called hemoglobin, which moves oxygen
and carbon dioxide around your body.
And in the middle of hemoglobin is a ring of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen called a
porphyrin ring.
Normally, enzymes convert porphyrin into another molecule called a heme group.
But for someone who suffers from porphyria, their body doesn't have enough of one of
those enzymes, so the porphyrin builds up and causes problems.
For one, it makes their skin really sensitive to sunlight, and they get painful rashes and
blisters… but only when they go outside.
The excess porphyrin also builds up in their teeth and mouth, causing red or brown discoloration.
It can even look a bit like they've been drinking… well, blood.
Today, porphyria is treatable, but back in the middle ages, it wasn't very well understood,
so people could have made up all kinds of stories about it.
Most kinds of porphyria are also hereditary conditions, so stories could have easily spread
about a group of vampires, or one vampire who infected their family.
Another likely origin for the myth is a condition called pellagra.
Pellagra is caused by a dietary deficiency of two things -- niacin, also called vitamin
B3, and an amino acid called tryptophan.
Normally, your body uses niacin to turn food into energy.
And even if you aren't getting enough of it in your diet, your body will also create
niacin from tryptophan, so everything should still run smoothly.
But when you aren't getting enough of either, things go wrong.
Around 300 years ago, corn started to replace wheat as the food staple for a lot of Europeans.
This was great because it grew really well and was cheap, but it also wasn't very nutritious.
See, even though corn contains niacin, it's not in a form that our bodies can digest.
In Mexico, where corn had been farmed for centuries before it came to Europe, the kernels
were treated with a mixture of water and the mineral lime before use.
That caused a reaction that released all those healthy vitamins, but it wasn't a practice
Europeans brought home with them.
To make things worse, corn also doesn't contain much tryptophan, so there was nothing
for their bodies to convert into niacin.
No matter how much corn people ate, they couldn't get the vitamins they needed, so pellagra
started popping up all over the place.
The symptoms of pellagra actually look pretty similar to porphyria.
Patients are sensitive to sunlight and get terrible rashes if they go outside.
Sometimes, the rash gets so bad that the skin starts to degrade over time, looking pale
and papery.
Their mouths also turn red, and their tongues start to swell.
People are often left with imprints of their teeth in on their tongues, which could have
started the idea that vampires have large canine teeth.
Pellagra can also cause neurons to degenerate in the brain, which can lead to severe mental
illness and insomnia.
Add in a sunlight allergy, and that might explain why the vampires in stories don't
sleep at night.
Now, pellagra and porphyria might explain some symptoms, but the whole "walking dead"
thing might have come from something totally different.
Some think it comes from a neurological condition called catalepsy.
Like epilepsy, it affects signaling in the central nervous system, .
They can't move at all, and their heart and respiration rates slow down until it looks
like they're actually dead.
And since doctors back in the day didn't have access to sensitive machines to measure
whether someone was alive, they often thought someone experiencing a cataleptic seizure
had died.
iAnd what did they do with dead people?
They buried them.
Like you can imagine, if you saw some guy climb out of his coffin, it'd be super hard
for him to convince you he was actually alive and not a blood-sucking vampire.
Ugh.
That's going to give me nightmares.
All three of these conditions still exist, but thankfully, they're much more treatable
or avoidable now.
And at the end of the day, we know they're definitely not anything to be afraid of.
Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow, and Happy Halloween!

Living w/ Your Parents - Chronic Illness and Disability [CC] // aGirlWithLyme - Duration: 5:56.
[Intro Music. Vincent Tone - New Summits]
Hey everyone, in today's video I want to talk about something that I think a lot of us young
people with Chronic Illnesses deal with. Many of us live at home with our parents.
We're unable to live independently, or support ourselves. Some of us may have
been previously independent and lived on our own, or with roommates until our
Illness or Disability became worse. Some of us may also have lived with our
parents our entire life, and are unable to move out, or live independently
because of our Illness or Disability. And I kind of want to talk about this today
and share my thoughts and experiences with this because, I don't really see a
whole lot of talk about this within the Chronic Illness or Disability community
much. I want to start off by saying that I don't think it's an absolutely, you know,
terrible thing to be living at home with your parents, at any age, for any reason.
Life happens, and things are hard. Its difficult to live on your own in this
day and age, whether or not you make a good amount of money or not. It is really
difficult to live independently. But that being said when you get sick or become
Disabled, especially when you're a child, or teenager, or even in your mid-20s and
you end up staying in the same house as your parents, or having to move back in
with your parents, it can feel like you don't have much freedom or independence,
and you may feel a bit stifled. My parents, they're great parents and I
still feel this way. I am lucky that my parents are able to look after me, and
support me, and take me to and from doctors appointments. I don't take
that for granted at all. But I can't help but feel I really don't have any
independence at all, and it's because I don't. I am unable to live on my own
because of medical and financial reasons. and I have a really hard time accepting
that. I think being sick and Disabled has robbed me so much. It has taken so many
life experiences away from me, and it prevents me from doing so many things. I
would love be independent, and have a place of my own, and not be reliant upon
my family members. It really does hurt me to know that I'm unable to move out, and
live on my own, and support myself on my own, and to grow as a person, and
experience new things. It is a really strange feeling because when I really do
think about it, it makes me sad. I have been in the same bedroom since I was 7,
and I've been in this room every day being sick, and staying sick, and unable
to leave it. I do everything in my room. I eat in my room,
I sleep in my room, I work in my room, I brainstorm YouTube ideas in my room, and
then I film them in my room - so I hardly leave my room because this is really the
only place in the house that is my space and it's where I feel most comfortable.
But I also feel kind of stifled, and trapped in here. I want to redecorate the
room - paint it, get new furniture, have new decorations - but because of my health I
unable to do those things, so even in my own room I'm in an environment where I
don't feel quite satisfied, I'm not content. This is a very strange thing for
me to talk about because I feel like I have a very hard time trying to express
my thoughts and opinions. I guess I just don't really feel content with being
sick and Disabled, and having to rely on people because I am sick and Disabled. Um,
I just wish that I could be able enough to live on my own. So if I don't get
better than I am going to be stuck in this room probably for the rest of my
life, or I'll end up moving in with my sister when she gets a place of her own.
I don't really know what I was trying to achieve with this video. I just hope
that other people out there who are in a similar situation as I am - you've been
in the same room as you were in since a child, and you're sick, you're Disabled,
and you're unable to move out. Just know that you're not alone, you're not the
only one going through this. I guess kind of dealing with not being able to move
on with life, and have the life that you wanted. I don't blame my parents, and I
don't feel like burden to them, I just really would like some freedom, and some
independence, and a bigger space of my own. I hope this video made sense to
someone and you were able to relate. In the comments below I want to know if
anyone else feels the same way that I feel. I am also currently taking video
suggestions, so if you have a video that you would like to see me make, please be
sure to leave it in the comments below and I will be sure to add
my list of videos make. Thank you for watching this video, please be sure to

Damian Marley - Slave Mill (Lyrics CC) - Duration: 4:55.
What you wont and what you will Working for your dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Walking home, a yout gets killed Police free to shoot at will
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Nine to five, you know the drill Weekends are a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Cup runneth over till it spill Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Some of us think we're too big Becah the system gives us jobs
Even though it's just a low paying gig Some of us will boast and brag
And those of us who think we're small Just because we don't have much
That's really not the case at all There's riches that the flesh can't touch
Some of us wont respect names Some of us wont respect loves
Some of us dont respect life Even though we worship God
And some of us wont let go faith No matter what the price may cost
Some of us wont practice hate Becah we still believe in love
What you wont and what you will Working for a dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Walking home, a child gets killed Neighbours free to shoot at will
Hurts to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Nine to five, we know the drill Weekends such a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Cup runneth over till it spill Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Most of us think we're too good Just because material gain
If we were living as we should Then less of us would be in pain
And those who are misunderstood They still deserve a voice to claim
The things that are still meaningful To each and all of us the same
And some will say the cup's half-full And give Jah thanks for what we've gained
And some will say there's much more weight to pull And them will tell you that straight up and plain
And some will think outside the box While some of us will hold our lanes
And some of us rewrite the facts While some of us a chop down cane
What men wont and what they will Working for a dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Walking home, a child gets killed Police free to shoot at will
Hurts to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Nine to five you know the drill Weekends are a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Cup runneth over till it spill Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Is grinding slow but grinding still
I can remember when uh, those slavery times
I can remember when uh, those slavery times
I can remember when uh, those slavery times

A Day in Life of S.A.H.W : Apple Turnovers- Pomegranate- Quick Dinner and GUESTS - Duration: 7:32.
Hello and welcome to the channel
today I will be sharing a regular day in my kitchen
after a regular breakfast coffee and bread
I wanted to finish the apple turnovers
I prepared the filling the day before
I dusted the work surface with flour
I usually get square shaped puff pastry
but this time I got it circle unintentionally
so I tried to make it work
I cut the circle in four
I added about 3 tbsp of the filling and wet the edges with water
I sealed the edges with a fork
place on a parchment lined sheet upside down
I brushed it with a beaten egg yolk with a few drops of vinaigre
slice lightly the dough
dont cut all the way through the dough
preheat the oven to 400 f and bake for about 15 minutes or till golden brown
I place the remaining of the filling inside a plastic bag
and put it in the freezer for an other time
I got a bag of shrimp out of the freezer
and I placed it in warm water for a few minutes
I bought the shrimp fresh and froze it for later on
once defrozen I place it on a strainer to drain any excess water
meanwhile I am peeling my gift from from Morocco Pomegranates
the apple turnovers are looking great in the oven
the filling didnt spill out because of the cornstarch I added
also the filling was very cold after one whole night in the fridge
it looks really good and smells amazing
here where I take my video thumbnails
natural lighting is always better then artificial lighting
even if its sunset already
after the turnovers have cooled lightly
I place them in the cake stand
once cool completely I will put the cover on
many people have asked me about this kitchen armoir
it was from Ikea for about 120 Euros
I finished shelling the pomegranates
here I am cutting the shrimp into smaller pieces
I will be making shrimp pasta for dinner today
without tomato sauce
I sliced all the veggies i has in the fridge
mushrooms red bell pepper and one small white onion
here I am making lettuce salad
radishes cherry tomatoes cucumbers shredded cabbage and shredded carrots
I seasoned salt pepper vinaigre and olive oil
here I am cubbing boiled and peeled beets
I seasoned with salt and lemon juice
I placed it in the microwave for a few minutes so it absorbs better the lemon juice
I am using the heavy pot many people asked about
I got it from Amazon in three sizes for 120 Euros
it is very good quality however it is very heavy
I added about 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter
I grated in 4 garlic cloves
I am chopping about 1/4 of a small white onion and about 1 tbsp of parsley and cintro
and about 2 tbsp olive oil
I placed the pot over medium low heat till the oil gets fragrant
the water is boiling I added 1 tbsp of salt
I will be using whole wheat pasta
about 300 grams of pasta
I dont add any oil to the pasta
simply stir right after you add the pasta to the water
and stir again after a few minutes
and the pasta will not stick together
I added the veggies to the oil and stirred till soft
I seasoned with salt and black pepper
I added the shrimp at the very end
once the pasta has cooked I drained it
I added it to the sauce
mix well
if the pasta looks dry add a little butter and mix
our dinner is ready
shrimp pasta lettuce salad and beets salad
for those who are asking if I always have guests
the answer is yes
we usually share our dinner with someone
usually family members
like you see here we are four
we are grateful we get to share what we have with others
I hope you all enjoyed todays video
bon appetite and I shall see you soon

At Home Amy Sedaris Craft Tutorial: Pipe Cleaner Spiders | truTV - Duration: 1:55.
Amy: Pipe-cleaner spiders.
You will need...
pipe cleaners.
Okay, now, pipe cleaners -- They make all different kinds.
Okay. They make all different kinds of pipe cleaners.
I think we should make a grandfather spider,
and we're gonna use metallic silver.
And you're gonna need eight pipe cleaners.
Now, again, I've applied fake nails
to make this more challenging just to let you know
anybody could make these.
If I can make them, you can make them.
So, you're gonna set these aside.
Just get some wiggle room.
If you have anything from an other craft
that you used, you might want to...
[ Air hisses ]
...clean your space.
Okay.
Now, spiders have eight legs, so you need eight pipe cleaners.
All right. Take them, bend them in the middle like so.
That's all I've done.
Then, to make the head of the spider,
you're gonna just knot it off, twisting it to form a head.
♪♪
Okay?
Then you're gonna make the legs pop out.
You know, separate 'em --
[ Chuckling ] Messed this up again.
Four. Okay. I did.
That's okay.
I -- I messed up.
Who says a spider has eight legs?
It doesn't matter. You never want to undo work.
So, it's okay, 'cause look at how a doorbell.
[adorable]
Well, it's art. It's whatever it is.
It's -- It can be anything you want.
Okay. Then, to make it sit up straight,
you give it -- choof! -- a little kick -- choof! --
on each one.
And that creates the little foot heel of the spider.
Choof! Choof! Choof! Choof!
Choof! I like pipe cleaners.
They're easy to work with.
Choof!
And one more.
Choof!
And then you'll see how it sits.
There we go.

Childhood Trauma - Duration: 18:25.
*Pingu riding on a bed* (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
(told you so)
It's that time of the month again.
After around half a year of being dead on the internet
I'm back on the month of the dead, dead inside
and ready to resurrect my dead channel in the spirit of the
8th month of the year, Halloween month… (Oct = 8?)
wait
But it's definitely been a while and I'll leave the apologies for my absence for the end of the video
because it's been way too long.
Anyway before I go on a tangent I guess I have to tell you why I'm here now (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
why my sona looks washed out
and why I absolutely butchered the drawing
...sorry Eli (follow EIiArt on Twitter)
You've seen YMS do it
You've seen RALPH do it
You've seen multiple other YouTubers do it so now it's my turn to jump on a month old bandwagon.
Everyone has their fair share of childhood nightmares
and it's only fitting that I discuss mine
Most people will probably share the same kind of fears I had when I was a kid,
so it's nothing too revolutionary
but I've been wanting to make a creepy kind of video for a very long time
so I guess there's a start.
Horror films have been a subject of ridicule and interest for a very long time
the purpose of a horror film is to scare or unsettle audiences, that's what it's meant to do
and the horror genre has existed for well over a century
through authors such as Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker
and one common theme that appears throughout many pieces of work to do with horror
is the supernatural
ghosts, spirits, demons and serial killers for example.
There have been many subgenres of horror since its inception, and would take awhile to list all of them
but horror is a unique genre in that it directly plays on you, the audience
It's not something that you can watch and laugh at the characters
or something you can relate to, like a romance (however unrealistic it turns out to be)
it's something that directly affects you as a person and sticks with you for a while
seeping into the real world.
The number one fear that everyone has when it comes to things like horror is the fear of the unknown.
There are the classic fears like aviatophobia and arachnophobia
and the fear of death
but one scary scare that is infinitely more frightening than the rest
is certainly a fear of the unknown.
both of which kind of resembles a fear of the unknown
but what horror does most of the time is to play on this fear.
People always want to find out what happens when they do something,
like what happens when you jump out of a window or something;
the most common reasoning that people give for committing various acts in their life
is simply 'to see what will happen'.
It's the fear and the interest in the unknown that scares people, and it sure scares me.
Probably when I was younger one of my biggest fears was essentially dying: what happens after.
Some people watching right now will probably be like
"Oh my god dude
like
what happened did your cousin get fed to the lions or something?"
No, it wasn't because I was witness to someone dying at a young age
I was new to the whole existential crisis thing
it was mainly the prospect of what happens after.
We're commonly educated on religion, I'm religious
but the concept of mortality is what petrified me and still kind of does
but to a far lesser extent to how much it worried me when I was a young chocolate.
It's the feeling of dying that kind of scared me more than anything.
I'm at home, just watching the news and I see a news anchor points informing the viewer that
this one pensioner has died at the ripe old age of 20
and I'm wondering to myself, how did he die?
What happened to him that caused his unfortunate
BUT NECESSARY
death?
How painful was it? Did he just fall asleep and not wake up?
Was he convulsing on his deathbed, trying to reach out to life support attempting to turn it back on?
What happened to him?
That was probably my very first existential crisis, and this is extremely common.
Not to be confused with necrophobia which is the fear or literal dead people.
I went Googling and found out there is actually a scale that measures the amount of anxiety children have for death fittingly named:
The way in which this scale is actually measured is
having a psychiatrist come to your school
and presents specific scenario that scares them
and children have to rate it based on how scary it is.
The measurement style in itself is called the Koala Fear Questionnaire, don't ask why it's called that
but the results show that most children between 4 and 6 and 7 and 10
have death and danger as their most common fear.
a rebuttal to this is that a more mature understanding of the biological concept of death
was correlated to a decreased fear of death,
suggesting that maybe it's helpful to teach children about death in order to alleviate the fear.
Using that example, you can kind of understand how morbid children's thoughts really were.
In my case, I was essentially a mix between Pandora and Jigsaw
'No that's not creepy at all' ( C O M E D Y C O M E D Y C O M E D Y )
I was interested in anything and everything about how things like death, mortality and overall creepy stuff were
so much so that I've accumulated a list of things that had creeped me out when I was younger
so let's break things down into different categories beginning with television programs. (MILD JUMPSCARE WARNING)
When I was a younger age I really enjoyed watching TV.
I didn't have much time to use the computer, and have some PC time to myself
so TV was basically my secondary source of entertainment.
There were a lot of different television shows out when I was younger, especially in the cartoon field
watching them nowadays may have different effects on viewers
especially seeing as you could get away with a lot more things back then wink wink nudge nudge
but that's for another video.
One particular cartoon that was a lot darker than the description let on was of course, Tom and Jerry
and I don't mean the excrement Cartoon Network are broadcasting now, I mean the classic MGM cartoons from the 50s.
There was one episode in particular that I watched and thought it was quite funny at the time
but now rewatching it and you realise just how brutal it was
for the record, Jerry was always the villain. Always.
The one or two episodes where Tom actually won? Masterpieces.
the rest was horsesh-
If I can remember correctly the episode was about Tom dying and going to heaven
he has been denied entry because he's been mean to Jerry all his life
which honestly makes absolutely no sense because he's just doing his job that's been given to him
anyway he has to get Jerry to sign a form essentially saying he forgives him
and if Tom doesn't get it signed and back to heaven in 30 minutes
he gets condemned to hell for all eternity where he will be roasted in a cauldron.
That doesn't really sound child friendly does it
but that the thing that's so genius about the show.
It beats around the bush with the message of that episode so when children watch it they'll be laughing like
"Hahaha look at him."
"LOOK AT HIM AND LAUGH"
The slapstick violence of the show is done in such a way
that you don't think twice when actual dark moments happen
like in that same episode if you don't know the context of why some of the cats were checking in at Heaven
you'd be thinking they had a trip and that's it.
But you'd be wrong
in that same episode, there was a bag where three kittens had been inside, covered in water.
Upon first watching when I was younger I was like "if that's not the cutest thing I've ever seen"
but now when you realise the context of how the kittens got there you'd find that those three kittens had drowned.
Someone put those kittens in a sack and thrown them in a river and they all died
which was common practice during the Great Depression in the 30s, with cats serving on purpose on farms
and if they're too much to handle, just lob them in the river!
Now of course after finding this out I went from "Awww"
to "AAAA-"
So you're telling me that those kittens DIED?
Now the episode makes sense.
In that same show, there was another episode with the *Two* Musketeers and watching the episode
you'd think it's a funny slapstick swashbuckling espionage adventure (try and say that really fast)
but it really isn't
Tom has to do something I can't remember, I think it was guarding the castle
and in 2 of the 3 episodes he dies a horrible death.
And it isn't a Looney Tunes death, like an explosion or a hammer squashing him.
The music actually stops at that point to really hammer home the fact that he is going to die and it isn't a game anymore.
In the distance you can also see the silhouette of his body being guillotined
Death Grips - Guillotine
and him going motionless.
The musketeers watch this with abject horror on their faces.
"C'est la guerre!" ("That's war/It can't be helped")
THEN THE JOLLY MUSIC STARTS AGAIN AS THE EPISODE ENDS.
That is probably the most "traumatic" television programme for me when I was younger
because all of these dark themes are hidden in what's meant to be a fun loving children's cartoon from Cartoon Network.
Remember Teen Titans?
No matter how much the network of Cartoons wants to bury it in irony
the original was a damn good show and mixed comedy moments with solid drama.
And they had two dark episodes that I bore witness to
(there are more, I know but I didn't watch the entire series, don't crucify me)
And watching them made me realise just how much older cartoons played on other emotions compared to nowadays
where every cartoon tries to be funny, full stop, with some few exceptions.
Anyway the more notable one had Robin be infected by something, I can't remember what
but the effect of it was that only he could see Slade and no one else could
(Media Encoder screwed the audio here) Can I just take a second to appreciate just how evil Slade was in the Teen Titans cartoon?
He was legitimately the epitome of Satan in that series
and I respect Cartoon Network for making him so dark without venturing into Adult Swim territory
The voice acting in that episode, especially Robins was ridiculously good

Childhood Trauma - Duration: 18:25.*Pingu riding on a bed* (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
(told you so)
It's that time of the month again.
After around half a year of being dead on the internet
I'm back on the month of the dead, dead inside
and ready to resurrect my dead channel in the spirit of the
8th month of the year, Halloween month… (Oct = 8?)
wait
But it's definitely been a while and I'll leave the apologies for my absence for the end of the video
because it's been way too long.
Anyway before I go on a tangent I guess I have to tell you why I'm here now (JUMPSCARE WARNING)
why my sona looks washed out
and why I absolutely butchered the drawing
...sorry Eli (follow EIiArt on Twitter)
You've seen YMS do it
You've seen RALPH do it
You've seen multiple other YouTubers do it so now it's my turn to jump on a month old bandwagon.
Everyone has their fair share of childhood nightmares
and it's only fitting that I discuss mine
Most people will probably share the same kind of fears I had when I was a kid,
so it's nothing too revolutionary
but I've been wanting to make a creepy kind of video for a very long time
so I guess there's a start.
Horror films have been a subject of ridicule and interest for a very long time
the purpose of a horror film is to scare or unsettle audiences, that's what it's meant to do
and the horror genre has existed for well over a century
through authors such as Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker
and one common theme that appears throughout many pieces of work to do with horror
is the supernatural
ghosts, spirits, demons and serial killers for example.
There have been many subgenres of horror since its inception, and would take awhile to list all of them
but horror is a unique genre in that it directly plays on you, the audience
It's not something that you can watch and laugh at the characters
or something you can relate to, like a romance (however unrealistic it turns out to be)
it's something that directly affects you as a person and sticks with you for a while
seeping into the real world.
The number one fear that everyone has when it comes to things like horror is the fear of the unknown.
There are the classic fears like aviatophobia and arachnophobia

Living w/ Your Parents - Chronic Illness and Disability [CC] // aGirlWithLyme - Duration: 5:56.[Intro Music. Vincent Tone - New Summits]
Hey everyone, in today's video I want to talk about something that I think a lot of us young
people with Chronic Illnesses deal with. Many of us live at home with our parents.
We're unable to live independently, or support ourselves. Some of us may have
been previously independent and lived on our own, or with roommates until our
Illness or Disability became worse. Some of us may also have lived with our
parents our entire life, and are unable to move out, or live independently
because of our Illness or Disability. And I kind of want to talk about this today
and share my thoughts and experiences with this because, I don't really see a
whole lot of talk about this within the Chronic Illness or Disability community
much. I want to start off by saying that I don't think it's an absolutely, you know,
terrible thing to be living at home with your parents, at any age, for any reason.
Life happens, and things are hard. Its difficult to live on your own in this
day and age, whether or not you make a good amount of money or not. It is really
difficult to live independently. But that being said when you get sick or become
Disabled, especially when you're a child, or teenager, or even in your mid-20s and
you end up staying in the same house as your parents, or having to move back in
with your parents, it can feel like you don't have much freedom or independence,
and you may feel a bit stifled. My parents, they're great parents and I
still feel this way. I am lucky that my parents are able to look after me, and
support me, and take me to and from doctors appointments. I don't take
that for granted at all. But I can't help but feel I really don't have any
independence at all, and it's because I don't. I am unable to live on my own
because of medical and financial reasons. and I have a really hard time accepting
that. I think being sick and Disabled has robbed me so much. It has taken so many
life experiences away from me, and it prevents me from doing so many things. I
would love be independent, and have a place of my own, and not be reliant upon
my family members. It really does hurt me to know that I'm unable to move out, and
live on my own, and support myself on my own, and to grow as a person, and
experience new things. It is a really strange feeling because when I really do
think about it, it makes me sad. I have been in the same bedroom since I was 7,
and I've been in this room every day being sick, and staying sick, and unable
to leave it. I do everything in my room. I eat in my room,
I sleep in my room, I work in my room, I brainstorm YouTube ideas in my room, and
then I film them in my room - so I hardly leave my room because this is really the
only place in the house that is my space and it's where I feel most comfortable.
But I also feel kind of stifled, and trapped in here. I want to redecorate the
room - paint it, get new furniture, have new decorations - but because of my health I
unable to do those things, so even in my own room I'm in an environment where I
don't feel quite satisfied, I'm not content. This is a very strange thing for
me to talk about because I feel like I have a very hard time trying to express
my thoughts and opinions. I guess I just don't really feel content with being
sick and Disabled, and having to rely on people because I am sick and Disabled. Um,
I just wish that I could be able enough to live on my own. So if I don't get
better than I am going to be stuck in this room probably for the rest of my
life, or I'll end up moving in with my sister when she gets a place of her own.
I don't really know what I was trying to achieve with this video. I just hope
that other people out there who are in a similar situation as I am - you've been
in the same room as you were in since a child, and you're sick, you're Disabled,
and you're unable to move out. Just know that you're not alone, you're not the
only one going through this. I guess kind of dealing with not being able to move
on with life, and have the life that you wanted. I don't blame my parents, and I
don't feel like burden to them, I just really would like some freedom, and some
independence, and a bigger space of my own. I hope this video made sense to
someone and you were able to relate. In the comments below I want to know if
anyone else feels the same way that I feel. I am also currently taking video
suggestions, so if you have a video that you would like to see me make, please be
sure to leave it in the comments below and I will be sure to add
my list of videos make. Thank you for watching this video, please be sure to
give it a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Please be sure to hit the
notification button down below to get notified when I upload new videos. All my
social media links will be in the description below, and I hope to see you
guys next time, bye!
