Please let me know if there are other/better helplines and resources for other areas. I wanted to at least give a starting point for people. Most of these sites also have resources beyond mental health resources, hotlines, and other crisis intervention options.

"Well-Being Resources" by Shuwus — docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I wanted to share some resources as well, as there's not a "one size fits all" solution, especially with mental health advocacy and access to other resources in various areas. Do your research and stay safe out there, especially with all of the "Floweys" that are around these days. findahelpline.com

If it would be of any help to the victims, I do not mind sharing my story about this situation. Though primarily, I wanted to say that there are many people out there that want to give support and well wishes to you all. You've all been through so much, and I hope this thread brings awareness.

Shayy's actions have hurt so many people, both public and private accounts, and they still aren't done with that. Their claim that all videos will be reinstated on their channel, regardless of sentiments from creators, shows to me that Shayy has zero respect for others, unless it benefits them.

Take the time to look at this doc and other accounts/perspectives related to this situation. These accounts corroborate their claims well, while Shayy's video just accounts for a more presentable perspective of events and their actions, which I feel diminishes feelings of accountability and impact.

I have personally tried to remain more anonymous about this situation, for my own safety and others with similar experiences. This is especially pertinent, as I am a mental health professional, and have seen the "truth" video Shayy put out. It raises more red flags about their patterns of behavior.

If people read through to the end, thank you as well. I do not mind if this is shared to others, and greatly appreciate any support in general. Life has been rough, although I'm not giving up. Please, take care of yourselves as well, in these rough and turbulent times. 🩵

My socials should be more active in general, when I remember to post on them for streams, etc. All of this would not be possible without the friends and other communities helping me, whether it be mental support/morale or assistance elsewhere. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

Links (Please only support if you are able to, I know times are rough, overall. Any funds are going exclusively to keeping myself afloat, as streaming, etc are side projects. I will update this soon, for transparency, WIP projects, etc):

I hate to ask for any funds, as I am very uncomfortable with asking people for help in general, especially with my experience supporting others in mental health. Although if you want to support me, I have a Ko-fi and tip page on Twitch. These will be updated soon, with more information on projects.

Currently, I've been mostly in survival mode, as I try to find jobs, other stable income, and resources to supplement that. For a while, these projects were on the back burner, until I was better off to tackle them. That time is now, after looking through so many options and experimenting with them.

It has been quite the undertaking, for the past year and a half or so. However, I am not giving up on things, when there are still avenues that are new or have not been ventured yet. At some point, I would like to go back to college for my doctorate, when I am financially and mentally able to.

In addition, streams have been fairly regular as well, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, around 2pm EST for the start time. I am currently streaming Mother/EarthBound Beginnings and Sonic 06, as the latter was a sub goal incentive. Fridays have been a free day, depending on the mood.

Currently, I have several long form videos, arts and crafts projects, and other personal projects in the works. Please wait a bit longer for updates on those, before the end of October. I've been hard at work on making sure everything meets my higher quality standards, even if it takes longer.
