ASMR Comfort for Existential Dread and Despair ~

This video isn't exactly intended for depression-- that's kind of a whole 'nother beast, not one you can think your way out of. That said, perhaps those struggling with depression can find some comfort in it ❤ Moreso, it's for those feeling stuck in a life, in a town, in a universe that you don't like. I'm not really sure if I said everything right, not sure if I said ENOUGH . . . I feel like the more words I need to grasp at truth, the less of a grasp I have on it in the first place. So please take all of this with humility 😅 I don't know anything, and I'm just thinkin' and wingin' and daydreamin' 🙂

I'm re-vamping my ko-fi right now, if you'd like to support me there. There's absolutely no obligation! I like making videos, but some extra dollars for batteries and whatnot are really appreciated. I've set up my shop there as well where you can browse through videos that I didn't post publicly to youtube for one reason or another. Thanks for reading ^-^

This is a very specific kind of sadness that can be very hard to reason oneself out of. I really appreciate you making this video, I found it very calming and comforting 😌

[@graciev2973]

I hope you are doing well

"If I feel good, am I just ignoring something" Wow. that's how I feel when I feel okay. I am so used to feeling constant sadness that when I feel ok or even good, I wonder what I am ignoring. And when I do have meltdowns or cry, I wonder if I was just ignoring stuff this whole time and it finally came out. Great video. This is the type of ASMR I would love to make if I could.

I remember reading a philosophy book years ago that claimed existential dread is usually a temporary state that is followed by renewed engagement with the world. But it's something I have been feeling deeply, on and off, for as long as I can remember. I found this recently during a rough night and there are some words in here that I find powerful and transformative. I believe your words have convinced me that life is worthwhile. We are all here to help and inspire each other and this video is a perfect example of that. I hope I can help others in the way you have helped me. Thank you so much.

I am often the "camp counselor" for my friends, even as I struggle with depression, with the after-effects of decades of trauma. And here I am listening to so many of the exact same things I tell my friends in their time of sorrow and need and struggle. Even the same phrasing. Like a convergent evolution of compassion. When I was young, Mister Rogers told me, in the sad times, we need to look for the helpers. As an adult, I decided to become one. Thank you for being one too. And take your own words to heart - I can tell this comes from the heart, from hard-won, painful personal experience.

👸❤️‍🩹 You truly don’t even understand how much this comforted me. I’ve been watching this everyday to sleep peacefully at night. - You are one of the few ASMRtists that made a serious, yet non-triggering video on this specific topic, thank you so much !! ❤️‍🩹👸

In January 2010 when I was a junior, a buddy of mine was struck and killed by a car and one night in the following weeks, I was having some pretty grim thoughts that triggered an awful feeling that haunted me well into the summer. I thought about how nothing any of us do, whether you’re a celebrity or a nobody like me, will matter millions or billions of years in the future, especially after the sun eventually dies out and human life on earth ceases to exist. I found out years later this feeling was called “existential dread.” I’m glad I don’t have that feeling anymore but right now between climate change and fascism rising across the globe, I can imagine a lot of people are experiencing similar feelings.

Thank you for sharing

When I typed “existential despair asmr” into the search bar, I didn’t actually expect to find anything! But here you are!! 😭🙏

[@bonesmaloneandthespookyboy3523]

This video came to me on my recommended after a VERY rough night. Please know your work is much appreciated and very genuine.

[@zila626]

You're a lovely soul. Thank you for making this. My heart is heavy so often, trying to keep going through such a confusing and grief ridden existence. I'm glad there are others who understand, and can make it lighter somehow.

[@setofwords]

I'm having trouble forming coherent advice or affirmations for anyone dealing with these kinds of thoughts. Just... accepting yourself and the world, and all the things you can't change... it takes a long time. And I think that's it. All you need is time, and the only thing that can help is time. Someday you might feel that you had this insight, this perspective or piece of wisdom that eased your fears and doubts; and if only you could pass that on to your younger self or to other people who are suffering, they would save a lot of time. But I don't think that's actually how it works. You can't just skip to the final destination, you have to go through the whole journey. All of it. Nevertheless, I appreciate this video and hope it will help people dealing with these feelings. Thank you, Sleepy! You help more than you know. 🥰

[@alwaysslightlysleepy]

Yes, I agree :) Through is the only way, in the end ~

Throughout this entire video, I haven't heard one word that I didn't need to hear and I'm pretty sure that's never happened before. There's not exactly many videos made specifically for someone wondering whether or not they exist so I just searched this out of curiosity and probably some surpressed existential angst and at one point, I had to stop so I can cry into my pillow for 15 minutes and it's been almost a year since I've felt that much emotion. I just wanna say thank you and I'm sorry you went through all of that too, u probably already know this but you're not alone. Maybe you were right about everyone in the world being intertwined in our collective journeys. Don't worry I'm cringing too over how hippy and spiritual that sounded but on a more scientific note, it is true that we're all basically just atoms of the universe learning about other atoms in the universe and on a significantly less existential note, we occupy space and mass which implies that we matter. Have a great 24 hours or something, peace

"Sometimes it feels like the most important part of ourselves, is the part that we lost." As somebody grieving my best and closest friend of my entire life (my father), this asmr actually managed to bring me comfort, which has been hard to find. Thank you for making this.

[@felipebulac]

Such a tingly and heartwarming video. I’ve been thinking a lot about how our place in the universe is so small yet we often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, and your comments about embracing our contradictions helped me feel a little more at ease, so thank you!

[@NorthernASMR]

Very glad to see you back! Your channel always stood out to me as one that not only featured someone with a nice voice but also someone with an intelligence and insight that stands out from a lot of other artists. Keep up the great work on the videos!

[@OmMeharchand]

I really appreciate this video a lot. It means so much to me to replay

[@Lichtverbunden]

I went through so much trauma, enough for several lifetimes and I need people physically with me, hugging me, teaching me how to do things in life, as I never got these things in the right thing. I was broken by all of it... No one in my family understands what it means to hurt like that. And I need someone to be with me 24 hours a day, no matter how weird that sounds, now being 30 years old, but feeling like a little child, not being able to handle this life. Further in the video: First off I want to say sorry if I sound harsh... a part of it is because I learnt that I should not trust most people as they left me alone in my pain, seeing me as a burden and as too much. To make it more real, I'm kind of a 6 year old boy in an adult body, which explains a few things. I'm repeating myself a lot and I need people to listen to my stories again and again and also them to repeat themselves as well. You say you want to hear my stories. How exactly? Are you serious with that or is it about being nice? If you are, how should I share it? And is a story of pain of any value to anybody? Everyone endured pain in some way, so my story would just be another story of pain.

[@celestialapparitions]

I know this is an old video but I had to comment. Thank you so much for this video. It was so profound and kind and i resonate so deeply with it. I have to admit I actually cried a few times, out of relief. Immediate subscribe 💗💗

[@tyrollin4144]

You really glowed up Sleepy

[@bloobeeblah]

I'm sorry, am i dreaming? You come back? I literally can cry right now.

[@studyana1232]

Thank you so much for this, I feel a bit less lonely now ...

[@Panda-tx4ey]

If my eyes weren’t dried up from looking at screens 24/7, I’d be crying to this without a doubt. But I wanna cry so I can be tired and get some sleep ;-;

KZbin knows too much, I didn't even look this up, but yet this is exactly what I was feeling😅 I'm 20, got out of my first year of techschool not too long ago, went for welding and got my diploma today, yet I feel no sense of achievement, nothing to be proud about, just a void. It feels like a waste of time, money, emotion, and a part of myself. Throughout this trial, I temporarily found solace in embracing my hraatage as I call it. I'm a country boy from Montana, and started embracing it more than before, it started out with work from 7- 9, work at my job from 7-5, then work around the property til 9 or 10, then after work I'd go fishing until I was almost to tired to drive home. Over time I started drinking a bit, not much, just 2-4 beers, then started using copenhagen, then started going through a can of cope a day and half a bag of chew, now I don't know what else to turn to. I refuse to pick up using weed, and i refuse to start drinking more, but the cope and the chew ain't working anymore, and now I am left to the mercy of bitter reality. At this point im putting my pride down and asking for advice. How do yall deal with this midlife crisis shit

[@madelinereid8543]

Oh, she understands the BIG sad
