[@forarthur777]

@@michaelstober577 well it's still a struggle but I'm still here. For a long time I didn't know what was wrong with me. I've always known I was above average in intelligence but I haven't done anything due to a lack of drive. I avoid things I don't want to do in favor of things that are easy and feel good. Well roughly 6 months ago something difficult happened and shook up my life and I decided to get evaluated by a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with inattentive adhd(formerly known as add). I found a doctor that would prescribe medication for it and my life has greatly improved. Something I still struggle with when I sit and think is how I've wasted 10 years of my life due to a disease I didn't know I had and it makes me sad to think of what mightve been different. But that's not healthy, you can't think like that. You have to do the best you can with what you have and you have to start NOW. If you are struggling you need to seek help. I was able to see a Dr because I have insurance but if you can't I believe Dr. K now has a team of counselors who are affordable and trained in a way to be effective for the things that plague this community. Something isn't right if you feel hopeless all the time, that's a symptom of something thats gone wrong. The first step in solving a problem is to identify what the problem is. Mental health is very important and you cant do it alone. As time goes by i discover more things about myself tgst explain how and why things have happened and while it doesn't change what happened it does help me understand myself and helps with better decisions in the future. Theres also comfort and healing to know what the problem is, if nothing else it will help relieve pressure on the things you cant change. I don't know you but I feel for you and I hope you do start the process of getting help. Life can be beautiful, you just have to identify your black cloud so you can work on seeing the light. Anyways I wish you all the best and please update me if you do pursue help.

Actually learned a lot about myself with this one. Was raised just like him and have the same anxious thinking patterns in adulthood.

Wanted to check in with the community and show that this video is helping me two years after it was posted. Have had anxiety for most of my life and it was suddenly heavy as a teenager. My fiancé gave me an Ohm bracelet. It meant a lot and I appreciate it so much more and it’s meaning after this video. I practice the exercise with your tune, and I felt that beautiful vibration after it was complete. I don’t remember the last time I felt that in a calm kind of way without needing to cry all of my energy off. I will thank her again for the bracelet and thank you now for this video.

[@rubyjackson6861]

Damn I relate to Austin so much. This has helped me make a lot more sense of my life. My mom’s voice making me feel anxious about things like money. My car accident making me anxious to drive. Ever since I started watching Dr. K, I’ve felt the increasing need that I need to go and actually get some professional help for these issues, and this one has just kind of solidified that idea for me. Sucks that the anxiety is saying I can’t because I need the money more for college, but I’ll see how I can work something out with on-campus services.

[@Sanx007]

Go and do this, man! I imagine there can be cheaper alternatives, maybe some help for students where you atend.

[@Sanx007]

Btw, my mom voice and ciggar used to drive me insane. The voice because of her trying to make me stay at home, not allowing me to go out with friends and she always used some king of sentimental voice, you know... Through professional help I understood it. And the ciggar lol, the fucking smell on EVERYTHING

[@lancearmada]

I was diagnosed with a phobia back when i was younger and something really interesting that was brought up that i relate to was when Austin brings up that he would try to distract himself from his anxiety and it wouldn't help because he was conscious of himself trying to avoid the anxiety. In his case his brain thinks he should be afraid so it tries to make him more afraid if he tries to ignore it possibly. Not sure if you have ever done a video on phobias but would be interesting to hear people talk about that sort of thing.

[@oogabooga5510]

wow ive never related to someone as much as austin 😭 i’ve always struggled with anxiety but recently it’s been worse. my anxiety keeps me up at night thinking something could happen… random scenarios pop in my head all the time. this puts it in a much understanding perspective, thank you for making this video!!!

[@bloo3737]

this helped me understand my anxiety better. I don't have a problem with flying, but i'll be moving to a different country to start medschool very soon. I have anxiety about being homesick/on my own/ lonely at the new place and leaving my friends and family behind. I grew up pretty sheltered, my mum took care of problems whenever anything came up, so not having that is pretty scary for me. I think i learned growing up that if " I have a problem" mom will fix it for me, just like Austin got taught to be scared of everything, i got taught that someone is there to help me and do stuff for me all the time. Hell I'm 24, still live at home and my mom still makes my breakfast. Knowing where it comes from makes it possible to just sit with it when it comes up and accept it, atleast that's how I understood it. Accept the anxiety, don't invalidate it and do the thing that scares you anyways. I think moving away will be beneficial for me , make me more independent and so on logically, but i still catch myself thinking stuff like "what if it's too hard" and "you're going to be all alone" and so on. Whenever I catch myself thinking stuff like this from now on I'll think back to this talk and how to deal with these feelings. The meditation was really helpful for me aswell, thanks for that. I don't know why i started typing out this paragraph, but it felt pretty good putting it into words! Have a good one people

[@Cr1me-wavE]

I've been binging these podcasts while at work and they've been legitimately helpful. Thank you for everything Dr. K! My only issue is everyone so far has related a main core issue to their parents (which I think I do too) but they all talk about how they know their parents cared about them and did the best they could with the interest of their kids at heart and I'm unable to relate to that. Unfortunately my parents were actively malicious and were very verbally abusive giving me crushing feelings of unworthiness for the vast majority of my teenage years and early twenties. I still struggle with this and this podcast has motivated me to seek professional help with these issues. Thank you again for giving us hope Dr. k

[@daasdasdasdasd-j5w]

Its not about forgiving always. Its about accepting that your parents have their own traumas and reasons for their bad behavior. By accepting that, you can let go of the trauma they put on you because you understand there is no validity in holding onto it. And perhaps, at that point you may find yourself forgiving them because what they did ultimately doesnt affect who you are now if you remove those traumas. I wish you the best.

I'm a nearly qualified art therapist, and I am recommending your videos to basically anyone that will listen to me.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills in such a valuable way.

Dr. K, Thank you...i have been crippled by anxiety for the last 3 months. I've had a sense that i've had something wrong with my body for a while. I seen a doctor last week because it felt like i had a lump in my throat, I was mostly convinced that my anxiety was the cause, he gave me a long term medicine for the anxiety, ended up going to urgent care and getting hydroxyzine which seemed to work, but was only given 5 days worth of medication. I feel like you mentioning thyroid issues might have saved me months of anxious doctors visits.

[@tylertrenton31]

As someone with GAD, this video did a great job of just having another person with the same kind of issues and thought patterns I see in myself (i.e. irrational fears, unsure of why, if medication is needed). Videos like these are so so so helpful for others in the same kind of boat.

[@simplewei6931]

Hi, Dr K. The observation on the usage of Bomb word around the 26 minutes mark is something that I am familiar with. I relate very much to Mr Show's reluctance to use certain words because I am very conscious of the things I say and how I will be perceived. Part of it is because I want to appear politically correct and don't appear stupid using certain words. While Mr Show did say that he doesn't think he minds being perceived as stupid, I did feel it was a defense mechanism to appear "politically correct" because I do it too. That is more dangerous because for me, I suppress that vulnerable side of me from surfacing out and over the years, it really does a lot of damage to my self esteem. At 39 minutes, when you asked him what does he think about his mum's part in his anxiety. I can relate very much to Show. I think he didn't want to blame his mum for it, even though it clicked in his head that it was that interaction that contributed to his anxiety. I felt the same way too, and I definitely would have said I don't know cause I didn't want to accept that in some ways, I was blaming my mum for this.

[@LeoniaCunha]

I come back to this feeling when I’m dealing with stress or overthinking stuff I don’t want to.

[@FuckingOddTaco]

I know Dr. K won’t see this or even Austin but this is great. Let me explain, I’ve seen a lot of your shows sometimes live and sometimes on KZbin but it helps me in a way figure myself out, but unfortunately it helps me listening to it but when the show is done I’m back to my old self. Depressed, filled with anxiety, feeling worthless and trust I’m listening to everything that is being said but it is so hard to actually change myself and actually take what I’m hearing and put it to good use. Idk, I’m very very emotional listening to this, all of it and I love all that you do Dr. K and Austin the way you’ve grown over the years has just blown me away and make me believe that I have a chance to change as well. You both are amazing and I appreciate all that you do Dr. K. I just wish I had someone to talk too like you. Austin I love you man, and I hope everything gets easier for you over time. Thank you so much for this talk. I’ve watched reckful and all of those videos has made me think a lot I just can’t put it into action what you say. Idk I’m rambling but I love you both and both of you continue doing what you’re doing cause you’re helping many many people.

[@nggdowt]

bro, I am glad you found some kind of inspiration or even peace in these videos. I am just a random dude stumbling on to your comments, but I think it is fine for you to get inspired and revert back to your old self once the video is over. I don't believe massive changes can happen in a snap. As long as you are paying attention to your own issues and you keep listening, one day you'll have your own realization and actually starts changing. Good luck man.

[@erikskaug9952]

Glad it resonated with you. The bit about Jake N Bake living each day as his last really struck a cord with me. Since then, I've been trying to do the same, and it feels great.

[@arnaudbaetens1732]

A year and a half ago I suddenly started to have really bad anxiety from uni and it carried over to the rest of my life. I have improved so much by myself over this last year. I was very surprised that anxiety is so manageable. Changing it definitely doesn't happen overnight. It's good that you're educating yourself around the topic and I would suggest you to keep doing that. But you should really go to a therapist, they will be able to help you a lot better than you can do by yourself.

[@jackismname]

Hey I am struggling with anxiety as well, and I feel a bit lost at times. It isn't dibilitating for me but some days its quite uncomfortable, and I'm figuring that out as well. I know this sounds a bit like wishy washy stuff but I promise you that I will try to keep on living, and over time get better at managing it. I hope you will undertake this like I am. I have had a major gaming addiction most of my life as well as inattentive ADHD and was convinced I would never be able to work like a normal human, but in the last month I have gotten a prescription with the help of my parents, but for them to help me it was rough. I had to admit to them I missed a couple of tests at uni, that I was really struggling and had stopped going because of my mental health and my perceived inability to work, which I am still trying to confront to this day. I told them I was not doing OK, that I had real psychological problems not doing work, and that I freaked out really easily. It was really uncomfortable, and I don't think I would have undertaken the task of talking to them about it if they didn't prod me like they did, but I think its worth the effort to ask if not your parents or a loved one to help you out, maybe your doctor, some one who is responsible for you in some way in school. Its not easy and I can't say my own troubles are over but I'd rather experience this uncomfortable reality and live, than not. If these videos help you feel motivated, do stuff as you watch them! do stuff immediately after you watch them in the vein of asking for help to a professional, and climb up that ladder. These youtube videos are educational and useful but being some one who has tried to gain a work ethic from just 'how to' videos, I can tell you it never has worked out in the long run. I know you will probably eventually forget about this, but I really urge you next time you feel motivated to work on being able to work.

[@Narutendo3]

I thought the same thing. He wouldn’t have as much anxiety if he was in control, but one of his first examples was him driving on the mountain road where he still had anxiety when he was in control. All be it with other people on the road, but I still think he’d have anxiety with other pilots and with the plane itself holding up (instruments, engines, etc)

@@lisapizza8211 It is very different. As far as I can tell Austin's condition has a lot to do with the fear of death or in general the occurrence of bad events. Physical anxiety (I belive there's several forms of it, I'm stating what would apply to me) is rather the fear of being judged or perceived in a certain way due to (physical) traits. It may lead to self-consciousness, isolation and impairs your life in countless ways. I suppose the same notion applies that its rationality is debatable.

@@Methylglyoxal Angst triffts aber meiner Meinung nach nicht ganz, bzw. haben viele ein falsches Bild davon, was das eigentlich bedeutet

[@MVPUnlucky]

I feel that people should appreciate what they have, but they also need to understand that having a privileged upbringing does not invalidate that persons suffering. Just because you have money does not mean that money makes you happy. Just because you come from a decent back ground does not mean you cannot experience your own internal mental struggles. In fact I'd wager that coming from a privileged back ground fucks you up more then one that doesn't because you never get to be challenged or learn. Then you get told that you can't have issues because of your privilege. One of the primary human needs is one to grow. To overcome ones personal struggles. If society deems you unworthy to do that because of your upbringing ( a thing that you had no control over) then it fucks people up. People need to erase privilage from their vocabulary because it's done nothing but harm society by allowing people to excuse their shortcomings with a lack of it, and prevent others from growing as humans because it's perceived they have too much of it.

Dr. K talked about this briefly in one of his other interviews, think it might've been with Asmongold but i'm not sure. The way Dr. K phrased it was "There's a lot of gatekeeping around suffering and who's allowed to suffer and who's not" and i think he's spot on with that description.

This was interesting, I think he became fascinated to learn about planes to feel control over a moment where he was vulnerable

[@jacobmorres9817]

Dr k, you are held to a higher standard becuase of your position. When you have tens of thousands of people watching you, you are emitting acceptable behaviors, qualities, goals, mannerisms etc. To these people. From my position as a viewer, I also believe that I should have a high standard. I believe in respect, love and empathy. But as a leader that is paving the road, we have a great responsibility to our pack and our missteps have great consequences to them Your good actions will also be seen throughout your community, youll see that reflected within them The follower grows to the level of the quality of leadership

Where's Rajj?

[@softcreamfruits]

Genuinely didn't know he was actually gay, thought he and Schlatt were just doing bits most of the time (I'm not insinuating that Schlatt is too)

[@AnimeFan4815]

Yooo That Observation at 26:00 I think I do the same thing :Where I explain smth ,but rather than just using the "easy" word, I try to convey the meaning or smth, I think it's in an attempt to net seem stupid. And I also feel like it's hard for ppl to follow sometimes (maybe bc I suggest a thought rather than conveying the story in words/pictures?)

The thing that blew my mind the most here is when Doc K said that allergies, atopy and anxiety are related, it's exactly what I've been experiencing all through this year.

[@noahmatsuyama8592]

Here's to help Dr.K in the algorithm...Cheers❤️🥃

[@crownprincesslaya2]

Great for the most part- tho lost opportunity around 1:40:00 because Dr. K says the anxiety of the medications is irrational after having said irrationality isn’t a good framework for anxiety and also been told that his mom scared him about taking drugs- like it is an incorrect conclusion about medication just like an incorrect conclusion about the plane, and both are from the anxiety they have already discussed… so to him it actually fits he would be afraid of the medication so that could have been pointed out that way as well, that his trepidation given that context does make sense at that level, before getting into the rest about medication

[@kal2352]

I wonder if by observing anxiety and sitting with it, we are allowing the neural signal to run its course and then since the brain is somewhat calm it provides feedback that the fear is exaggerated. This diminishes the anxious feeling since you are providing the correct feedback. Most people avoid the feeling and use other methods of reducing the effect of anxiety which means it never gets the proper feedback which allows for proper regulation. Also, I wonder if Dr K is familiar with the ying-yang principle which speaks exactly to the concept of holding two opposing things at once. It promotes the notion that everything has two opposing forces interacting with the other and striving for balance. It would be great to hear him talk about it. Honestly, Dr K is the best thing to happen since sliced bread.

[@pj5873]

That‘s exactly what it is. I‘ve had severe OCD and am still recovering rn. You pretty much recover by not reacting to the scary thoughts and feelings. and of course it easier said than done a lot of times. By letting your body feel the anxiety and sit with it till it goes away by itself you show your brain that this fear actually doesn‘t pose a really threat to you and after time through habituation and neuroplasticity in your brain these thoughts will feel less and less threatining untill you can fully coexist with them without reacting to them at all

to each his own, but if you truly are struggling i'd give meds a shot. i was against medication for a very long time. i really regret it now. it isn't always easy narrowing it down to the right med or medication tho. some people find it right away. everyone is different. i it took me close to a year to find out the right combo for me. i've tried about 14 different medications. i noticed slight improvement before then, but it wasn't until i was on a few meds that worked for me and worked well together. i was depressed for about 9 years. i've wasted a lot of my life because of that. i also have bad anxiety too. but now finally my anxiety is pretty well non existent, at least for GAD, i still have mild social anxiety, but that used to be extremely bad. i haven't felt depressed in a little over a year i think and have even managed to come off one of my meds. i dont see it as cheating. they are magical pills. they aren't perfect. they take the edge off. quite significantly, but it's not like forced fake happiness, it just gets rid of or dampens the depression. i highly discourage benzos tho. for anxiety do not use downers. they're habbit forming, and only help short term. they should really be saved for anxiety attacks. yes not everyone does well with meds, but they absolutely should not be demonized. that's why i didn't take them. you hear all the horror stories and few of the positives unless you go looking for them.

[@emilfilipov169]

Amazing session as always, Dr K! I have come to the conclusion that the USA is an amazing, just astounding, country, but for the wrong reasons. The culture there claims to be the most inclusive and tolerant ever, while at the same time it is the complete opposite... People bully each other all the time, they ridicule each other, pull their neighbors down. Flat out crush people who stand against this bullying. I am starting to think there is some real 'cultural disphoria' happening, which needs to be fixed. It keeps causing issues and unrest in its own people and we can all see it's not going so well.

There is a difference between feeling it is someone's fault and it is someone's fault. Noone does things to be bad just that they learned that it works towards the goal in mind. The goal might be good in a way but maybe not the right goal to focus on.

[@spiritualviking8094]

For anyone here feeling like " I found myself after watching shows, or helps you out figure who you are".. Pls dont go at it that way. You can relate and reflect but do not ever become what someone else is just because they use logical words or have a good attitude towards life. You need to find yourself on your own path without being influenced by people online, being influenced basically means ur kind of "brainwashed" into believing you are just like that and this.. No hate tho, i just wanted to say that finding your own balance and your own way is what makes you identify with your true self in the end, not trough the internett. Seek nature, find peace, calm down and achieve blissfullness. That way you reprogram your mind over a period of time and you can better go on to the road you were ment for. You need to reset due to all the information this era spits out or you will have some sort of personal identity theft.
