Hi, you are my go to channel :) I was wondering if you have any tips on dealing with anxiety regarding the current situations in the U.K- the large amount of knife crimes and riots is unsettling and makes me feel unsafe and anxious. Thank you so much

Nice😊some people have problem with decisions because prefrontal cortex doesnt work properly, or they are exsasted 😊

If the lymbic system is overwelming it need helps..behind of that it can be insulin issue, high cortisol that person thinks all the time, i would say it is neurological issue 😊

Thank you

im finally getting around to watching these videos, I went down a bit of a bad spiral this year & am now kind of seeing the light. Things got so bad that I ended up on SSRI's (briefly) against my own judgement & intuition, and tapered off after about 2 months on my own accord. I haven't been on them now since mid may. I saw an OCD specialist too though that didn't work out as I felt like she never took me seriously and even chucked when I told her my theme. She did help me to understand ocd to a degree though, and how I just need not give it power. This has helped a lot but need to dive further into other areas of anxiety such as my agoraphobia. In no means am I perfect and I have a long way to go. What DID draw me to you though was how perfectly you explained ocd, even better than this therapist. Almost immaculately to my experience. I was going through some really, really bad anxiety last year due to where I am in life. Funnily enough a year to this date. This seemed to have stemmed from my job that I would go to day in & out which I know isn't who I am and have most certainly outgrown - But due to agoraphobia and being stuck in the same fkn 10km (which I overcome but seem to slip back & forth), I IGNORED all these feelings because I felt like I didn't have a choice. and there was a clear indicator that this was the issue. I had this feeling of stress in my body that developed that just wouldn't go away and I kept trying to fight through. Eventually my brain pulled out the big guns & it developed into this whole pure OCD thing. Makes total sense. I am still at that same job but that feeling of stress has since dissipated to a degree, I believe because I am now working on ways of getting myself out of that place (or just the place I am in life). Since we briefly spoke in early January about ocd in the comments, I have now started studying a course trying to fix these issues. I have a long way to go, but the journey has begun. I just need to fix my focus, and stop pretending everything is fine. because its not.

From what I can inter from my experience I was crippled by OCD and anxiety but now I am able to work finely. I will say that the treatment of OCD is not like a take medicine and do therapy type work, it needs work in some other directions also, it's more about knowing oneself more and understanding the core concept of "I am that". What I mean Its primarily an issue with your brain and mind but you should also know that those are not the only things in our consciousness. We say we get repetitive thoughts but tell me what is repetitive in this, your mind will never stop reacting to everything around you unless it understand the emptiness of it all. Like in the deep sleep we achieve such states after which dream initiation takes place and in those dreams you see some reality. I waking states you are plagued by what then? The delusional reality, everything that is happening around you isn't it just another repetition of things? Your awareness is something that is always pure you can keep having pain physical and mental but your awareness of that pain or something can bring out it's true nature then all of pain becomes nothing and what about pleasure it is also the same. Just bring your awareness which is nothing but your curious attention to things and observing things from a curious person's viewpoint you will find the true nature of reality, our mind's nature which seeks to find the causal relationship between things has to be let go off and only then you begin keeping track of things, multiple aspects of things will come to your mind, that is true consciousnes and it is this mind which is healthy which is whole and doesn't feel any bondage because of the thoughts and emotions, it has to completely surrender to one central aspect of living which that of being an observer and nothing else.

I struggle with guilt and pets.

What is the name of that song you used in your advertisement? I heard your ad on a youtube video and liked the song and decided to check out the channel which I also like lol. But I was wondering if you knew the name of the song because I enjoyed it hahaha

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

This is me. To a tea, unfortunately.

Great

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I LOVE YOU THANK YOU

Good

I don't know if I have OCD or if it's my autism or anxiety. I fear and obsess about death a lot and every sensation in my body brings me into a spiral in which I can't stop googling about it and I can't stop seeking reassurance that I will be ok. I know the thoughts are irrational but I just can't stop. I have a lot of thoughts that I'm scared to talk about because people will probably look at me differently. My mind just won't stop and when I have calmed down about one topic, a new one starts. I don't even know what are my normal thoughts anymore. Sorry for dumping this here, I just needed to write about it somewhere and came across this video.

great as always

brain need support, i couldnt function without meds, even if i know everything of this, it was imposible to function, and of course nutrition play alot of role! this "stories" paralysed the person with intrusive thoughts and imagies, even if i believe myself all the time, this imagies didnt stop, and i couldnt function..so is your program based on telling positive afirmation to ourselfs?

Totaly agree, but for me only carnivore and meds stop this. it i all corelated, with high cortisol, adrenalin, insulin..it is all depend how much "amygdala" is "damaged" from traumatic events..person with delussional thinking need treatment, and also for ocd, severity can disable person*

PLEASE HELP!!! I am Spanish and therefore my entire message will be written by a translator. I hope you can understand me. I am Víctor from Spain, I am 20 years old and I have had anxiety since I was little, it used to occur in class, in restaurants, in a movie theater to give some examples... well the fact is, I have been in this hell for 2 years, on May 9, 2022 I I woke up having thoughts that in my life I had had about harming myself, I remember that the day before before going to sleep I read a news story about a boy who took his own life, logic tells me that this could have been a possible trigger, I at the same time At first I was scared because I didn't want to do that nor do I want to and I didn't know what was happening to me, I had a lot of anxiety, my chest hurt, I was short of breath, I felt terrible... in the middle of that hell I thought, well, this is going to be a bad day and Tomorrow I will be fine, because the days went by and it was still the same, even because of the fear I had, I even slept with my mother, imagine... a few days after this, while I was in my room, this thought occurred to me, which I remember perfectly. What if I kill my mother? If after the thoughts of hurting myself I was already bad, imagine after that crossed my mind... literally, I couldn't even see my mother, it was terrible, if before I had anxiety, then after thinking that I had twice as much... investigating why Google I found content about intrusive thoughts and such, at that time while reading about the subject I came across a phrase that helped me at that moment (you are not your thoughts) and that literally eliminated the physical symptoms that I had even though those thoughts were still there. A few days after this I went to the psychiatrist to tell him exactly what I am telling in this message and he told me about impulsive phobias, I went home and a few days after this the typical news that they give at night was on Antena 3's news. Well, well, they talked about a news story about a boy with schizophrenia and what happened to me is that I was literally in shock, I hardly slept that night, literally when I heard that I was like, I have this. I started looking for symptoms throughout the summer and a few more months, in total 4/5 months followed day by day on Google, on RUclips videos of people with schizophrenia, videos about psychotic breaks, about other mental disorders and well from there I am not bad, the following. I literally began to pay attention to sounds and for example I was watching a RUclips video of whatever and if I heard something that could be outside of that video, I would rewind the video to see if I heard it again, that was an example of what What I did and sometimes I continued doing it, I was aware of what I saw or if I saw things out of the ordinary, sometimes out of the corner of my eye I see like a flash and I wonder if you are freaking out in case it is a hallucination, I also read about delusions and paranoia and to give an example, reading that these people think they want to kill them and from then on I have thoughts of that style, "paranoid" thoughts even though I know they are a lie, I don't know if after everything I'm saying Are you finding out what is happening to me or if perhaps in your consultation you have had cases of this style, because in Spanish I have barely found information as if I have found it in English and they relate it to OCD called OCD Going Crazy, but literally that Sometimes I doubt that this could be OCD, this seems serious, I'm afraid it's psychosis or schizophrenia, I'm shit, I need help, it seems like I'm delirious at times, although I repeat, I know that certain thoughts don't make sense... I think that reading symptoms has messed with my head because in my life I have had these thoughts and I think I am very suggestive. 3 psychiatrists tell me that they are impulsive phobias but come on, sometimes it seems like he's really crazy.

Super Helpful Content! Thank you!🙏

As someone who has struggled immensly with crippling pure o (many subtypes) and rocd for forever, and recently finally also been diagnosed with adhd (which makes a lot of sense- ofc besides the moments where my ocd gaslights me into thinking i do not have adhd😂) i cannot thank you enough for this insightful video which has just been mindblowing and VERY much fits what my therapist is trying to explain to me about my life and why i have this excitable adhd nature and at the same time these abhorent Obsessions as well as a harsh inner critic. I still think i need some time to get this into my head, how my pure o has arisen to keep my adhd nature at bay, and how this plays out for the different themes but i wanted to thank you for helping us out with your insightful video, this makes so much sense to me:) also, in case you know: do you have any tips for medication when it comed to the adhd and pure o combination?

This is really interesting! . I only recently discovered Pure O OCD and I’m sure I have it. I was late diagnosed autistic, I possibly have the inattentive type of ADHD but I’ve never been tested. Do you think the link could extend to overall ND being suppressed/masked, not just ADHD in childhood?

Unconscious PureO targets the opposite of who that person really is. Example: they consciously desire to travel, but unconsciously fear traveling. They consciously desire to be social, but unconsciously fear of abusing those whom they meet. Or unknowingly they sabotage their relationships. They consciously want to break rules, but unconsciously fear other people being upset and telling them off. 🟥 Pure O (OCD), Complex Anxiety This is mind blowing and it perfectlty makes sense.

Complex Anxiety - This is the first time I hear of this term and I love it!!! Genius! Yes, PureOCD comes from repressed anger. PureOCD is also worry about other people's anger and their hate. Most common at toxic job or in dysfunctional family or living in shame culture country where people are constantly expressing their negative and intruding opinion about some person, ad hominems, other person real or imagined flaws mistakes and errors.

Hey John, i suffer from sexual orientation obsessions/ruminations (worrying if im gay has morphed into what if im in denial). At first i thought it targets the opposite so that means im straight but I was triggered and confused as to what my conscious desire is versus the unconconsious OCD sabotage.

I have ocd, adhd and depression. Several therapists have said it sounds like ocd developed as a result of my adhd being repressed as a kid. Maybe I was more susceptible? Idk. I’m medicated for both though now and have gone through years of therapy. ADHD feels like who I am, like I need to manage it rather than it ever going away, whereas my ocd I feel like I work hard to keep it in “remission” sort of. Idk if that makes sense! But this is sooo interesting.

Ooh. I love this! My curious brain is like “I figured! I just need to know who I am.”

You have no idea what kinda impact these videos have on people that are facing such issues. Thanks a million

Thank you so much for the explanation!

John, I’m 36 yo man. Currently I’m struggling with intrusive ideas, I feel terrible. Is there hope for me? I feel hopeless and like I’m wasting my days. I’m not functional rn. What can I do?

This is spot on. Thank you for sharing.

This is very helpful - Thankyou

Thank you for sharing this information.

John this was such a great explanation on ocd , really loving your content!!

1:35 You perfectly described it.

I have acute OCD/BDD. I have suffered for eighteen years with these debilitating disorders, trying to kill myself throughout these years four times. Where I live only basic CBT is available ERP is unavailable. I am so ill I believe I am insane. I have zero quality of live, zero chance of ever getting better.

missed you john! So good to hear your voice again my man!

Do you follow Chase Hughes? Your explanations about the RAS sound very similar

Thank You So Much! 🙏🏾
