Theo is a very grounded wise person. His advice to Joe is spot on. Joe is a perfectionist and unfortunately the interrogation of himself is only highlighting the negatives that he has concluded in his mind. In reality, the negative things that he is highlighting to himself would never be picked up on by his fans. What a shame that he is only picking up on what he believes to be negative, instead of all of the amazing, possitve funny entertaining videos that he creates. The mind is incredibly complicated, and it sounds like Joe's mind has become muddled overtime. Experiencing exciting, happy things are now perceived as scary negative situations. Chin up Joe, you'd be suprised how many people understand what you are going through. You aren't on your own, and thank you for sharing. I can relate to everything you say and I can honestly say, you are helping me to make sense of things myself

Joes mental state really resonates with me, I have adhd and it sounds like joes lacking dopamine receptors which is why he tries to find it in hyper fixations. It’s so common but medication and all the different types of rest and routine can help with that and medication levels the dopamine out. as much as people say it produces more dopamine, it really just balances the highs and lows. Also anxiety is very common with ppl with adhd. I know joe is most likely against medication and I tried to avoid it however it’s really really helped a lot of aspects of my life including negative thoughts. I’d look into it! Or maybe get someone on waffling who’s a specialist!!!

[@boutsbyblanks]

I’ve never found someone I relate to more than Weller tbh. I’m 27, so similar age, I’m fucking weird and probably adhd or autistic to some degree and I struggle with all the same shit… even the struggling to concentrate on the person you’re trying to listen to and constantly hearing the people you don’t want to, yes Joe I relate

[@yorns1881]

I can relate with Joe, I also feel like I'm in a constant state of 'Fight or Flight', for example, when I'm inside my house / by my self, I can easily make logical conclusions as to how something will happen, e.g. going to the gym, going for a run. However, sometimes when I am outside my heart rate increases and I feel my self starting to sweat (mini panic attack). Sometimes I can overcome it by focusing on breathing or listening to music, but it is very stressful and sometimes I just have to force my self to do something which most people wouldn't have any issues with.

We are highly sensitive people. Our nervous systems aren’t like the average Joe (or another name in this case).

[@ro43207]

I was genuinely feeling very down and just not happy today and didn’t really know why, but WOW, this episode has completely changed my depressive thoughts today and now feeling a sense of optimism - cannot thank you three boys enough for having this conversation!!! Get Uncle Randy (Randolph) on the wafflin pod and continue the deep chats, would be super powerful!

[@WorldOfKora]

This podcast is such a great space for everyone to understand mental health from guys perspective, i can relate heavily on what Joe describes his mind to be sometimes. The realisation that we need purpose, goals and ambition to keep our minds focused away from our thoughts. Just itched a spot on my brain.. its so easy to sit and spend hours with our thoughts and maybe it is that we give ourselves too much time to do it. Really hard to accept but its so true.. Obviously its hard when you are in the moment to get out of.. So glad the podcast is back such a great dynamic of people and opinions. Brilliant 👏🏻

[@finno3448]

If it makes you feel any better Joe, I love the podcast where you discuss how you’re struggling. It makes it feel real, and makes me feel not alone in my troubles. You’re very relatable!❤️

[@alextomlinson]

I’m 9:30 in and it is glaringly obvious that Weller’s issues are self-caused and self-perpetuated. This is the chain of cause & effect: (the > represents the words “which leads to”) Propensity for negative emotion > fear of negative emotions > attempts to mitigate negative emotions > hypervigilance > perfectionism > self-judgement > negative emotions (shame, anger, sadness etc) > attempts to avoid negative emotions > dopamine seeking behaviours. or withdrawal from activity (depression) or fear/stress/agitation (anxiety) > self-judgement > negative emotions > attempts to avoid negative emotion > more crazy dopamine seeking behaviour or stress/agitation/fear (anxiety) or withdrawal/apathy (depression) So it’s a cycle. Caused by fear/avoidance of negative emotion and perpetuated/reinforced by self-judgement. This is also applied onto others around him that also cause him to experience negative emotions. Hypervigilant/judgement of others > negative emotions (fear/agitation/anger/sadness) > avoidance/confrontation. The root/driver of the problem is fear/avoidance of negative emotions (hypervigilance). The catalyst/reinforcer is self-judgement and judgement of others. Tackling either the driver or reinforcer should interrupt the cycle. How to reduce the fear/hypervigilance and judgement that leads to negative emotions? Before you can reduce judgement of others you have to reduce self-judgement first. To then be able to extend that out to others. The self-judgement directly causes/provokes shame. Which is a negative emotion. So the very tool adapted to prevent negative emotions (hypervigilance, judgement) ENSURES you will experience them. Let go of the shame and you have removed the need to fear negative emotions. The adapted “solution” of hypervigilance/judgement is no longer needed. How to let go of shame? Self-forgiveness. Understand that everyone deserves forgiveness. Forgive yourself for any shame and guilt you feel. Once forgiveness has been fully felt, shame and guilt will dissolve and can be let go. There will be less of it inside you for self-judgement to provoke. You can then extend that forgiveness onto others to reduce the negative emotions (anger etc) they cause you to feel. Thus removing the need to fear negative emotions and rendering the judgement/hypervigilance tool unnecessary. Cycle broken. Caveat: it may take considerable conscious effort to choose self-forgiveness over shame & guilt. As these emotions form part of our self-identity. So letting them go can feel like letting a part of yourself go. (Which is a good thing. Letting go of anger, shame & guilt) I recommend ZERO distractions. A few/several days alone with or without fasting using conscious effort to forgive yourself & others and let go of shame, guilt and anger (and sadness). Then there is nothing to fear. No need for hypervigilance or judgement.

[@alextomlinson]

I’d also agree with Theo. Stop watching episodes back. You’re feeding the hypervigilance/self-judgement

[@brianh_mcfc]

We love seeing Joe be real if hes happy or sad or whatever , his best content has always been when he's himself

[@jaguaranimations9142]

I relate to Joe's panic attack story. It can feel like you lose control of your own brain. Happened to me when I decided to join the gym and the night before i woke up to my brain going into a meltdown and it felt like my body was shutting down from complete fear. For some people, even if you know something isn't dangerous, your brain is still full of fear and pumps the chemicals to send you into fight or flight which obviously isn't ideal if you're trying to progress in life. Anxiety is a constant battle with ups and downs and you will get back to previous heights and exceed them. Glad the podcast is back. 💯

[@carlashep29xo]

This is such a great comment ❤️ perfectly explained

[@TooGood4Gamesv1]

I'm currently going through a lot of panic attacks, they started out for the first time early this year. Now they are very frequent and it really does feel like I've lost control of myself, makes me think that something is wrong with me, have no energy for anything, mentally I'm always feeling like I'm going to get another panic attack. It's a terrible issue that I'm trying to resolve lol. Not really sure on what fixes panic attacks yet, but, I have no had one in about a week now. I've just been actively going for walks, trying to get my brain functioning properly and not thinking about the 'problem'. Who knows if walking actively/being active per day will have fixed my frequent panic attack issue, so far it's only been a week. Even with that being said, I still do constantly feel like everyday that I'm going to have one, so the mental factor is still there. I don't know if there's a way of ever possibly getting rid of that fear factor.

[@carlashep29xo]

@@TooGood4Gamesv1 Nothing is wrong with you and I have found there’s only a few ways to prevent them from happening or slow them down. Finding healthy distractions like watching something that makes you smile, listening to music or taking a warm shower/bath always helps me ❤️ You have to figure out what makes you feel better and sometimes you just have to let it ride out and happen

[@TooGood4Gamesv1]

@@carlashep29xo Thanks for the reply Carla! Yeah I mean it just sucks because I've never had this before and it only started this year, and now it's unbearably common, I'm only male-24 yoa so my automatic thinking is basically that something is wrong with me mentally/physically lol. The shower works well! But it doesn't take too long after that to feel off again. I don't know what it is about watching stuff when I'm feeling off but it doesn't seem to help, as I can't seem to concentrate away from the fact that I'm feeling off. The walks kind of work? The only reason why I think they kind of work is because I'm trying to be healthier + better for myself, and when you're active it's a proven fact that you mentally improve as well as physically. I haven't quite gotten to the mentally improved part from the being active thing yet though ahaha. I'm trying to get a GP appointment though because I don't think it is anything mental, but who knows. Hope you're doing well yourself Carla x.

Good advice I got that might help Joe is, “your expectations of yourself are not others expectations of you” and also, “you’re not saving lives” (both related to work). I think there may be an element of, “spotlight syndrome” that manifest itself in a negative way for Joe. But understanding that everyone has their own lives, their own challenges and own problems can really help with not being so overwhelmed about what other think about what you create.

I struggle with panic attacks aswell, its not all the time but sometimes they happen. What i have i learned is just to face your demons, cause u cant really escape them. Running from them tells ur brain something like ow this is really bad i need to escape from this but if u face it u kind of realise that you are just a human being and u are who u are and u learn to relativize those toughts and stress. Ofcourse its different from anybody. And also Joe i recognise ur behavior in myself. I am also a controle freak but u gotta let go that u cant controle everything. It takes so much stress away if u learn to let go. And it is hard trust me, it took me a long time to learn to let go and starting to accept myself for who i am. I also found God wich helped aswell.

Replaying thoughts and events that I've heard from my own head a million times. It's like my head is constantly trying to explain everything to itself as a kind of pacifier to ease the angst of the future or the regret of the past. It's exhausting.

[@KateMallett]

55:05 I pretty much went cold turkey on most things for around 5 months in 2023 as a “dopamine reset”, no phone, cutting out all sugar and no “entertainment” stimulus like music, can say it was very difficult. I didn’t realise how dependent I had become to them but it was extremely insightful! and after a while it did help me to be present and appreciate things a lot more. The withdrawal symptoms were the worst of it and so intense to the point I almost stopped. & I can vouch for what Joe said about falling back into it once you pick it up, even once is so true. It’s even harder to sit with nothing after that! Many benefits to it but would not recommend completely doing it all at the same time, it’s kind of extreme!

1:00:12 really had the whole gang laughing with that one

Joe you’re not alone, I obsess over the smallest problems and think I’ve ruined the chances of reaching my goals, it’s almost like I’m in literal despair in the moment.

[@tommellor2015]

I rarely comment on videos. As someone working in KZbin myself I often struggle with similar thoughts to Joe. Where the structure of a typical 9-5 job is absent, it can be difficult to remain productive when you’re not actively involved in filming everyday. For me, structure is so key. Like Theo mentions having something to work towards each day has helped me massively. Setting daily goals simple enough that it doesn’t add unnecessary pressure is important too. You don’t need to achieve massive wins on a daily basis, keeping the momentum going is all you need. Those great idea’s and concepts happen as a result of consistent practice. I definitely recommend reading ‘Atomic Habits’ if you haven’t already. It’s a great guide of how to build routines/habits which I think is key to that feeling of contentment. Love these open and honest chats boys. In a world where so much is over produced and scripted, these real talks are what we’re all here for. Thanks for the pod 🙌

maybe Joe needs to recharge his crystals again

Maybe the one around his neck is a Horcrux.

Can yous answer more questions from viewers. Or is there not many good questions sent in?

[@jamessheppard717]

nothing better than finishing work, putting dinner on and seeing new wafflin. keep up the good work lads

[@4JH84]

14:05 You should start doing weekly vlogs Joe. Allows you to be your authentic self and means you can create content every day. There’s a lot of people who relate to you so that style of content would bang

[@FernStone]

Joe is kind of really describing what i feel ... especially when burnt out with adhd

[@Doylerwz]

The relatability of these episodes are insane. Many people will realise that they think the same things as other people and they are not alone with thier thoughts and feelings. Up the boys

[@connorwatt507]

You guys have to react to old wafflin clips!!!

[@TheAdammcox]

The difference between wafflin Theo and Backside Theo is crazy. It’s like 2 different people

[@zakinthebox5963]

its different group dynamics, its so funny how theo is just the bully victim in backside

[@jamesjackson5020]

wow, there was a lot u said there that i could relate to joe. It's good to hear someone else saying exactly the same things i have been feeling, and maybe i haven't been able to articulate them as well u did

[@ismybannerblackorred6700]

I would like to see a muckbang ep maybe a roast dinner to fit the Sunday mood

[@TheRoarWithin]

That’s actually a great idea.

[@el_eye_jah]

I gotta be honest I think joe has just out grown these two. He is very real and wholesome. He’s able to grasps different concepts and be more open minded about life. Not trying to put Theo and Luke down, it’s just Joe is a lot more interesting because of that, and feel the podcast would be more interesting if they allowed themselves to intellectually evolve also.

[@ChristIsLord55]

The best pod 🤩

[@joethompson5254]

Proper wafflin episode. Propa class 🍋

[@ro43207]

Iconic from Theo: think what CAN i do - gamechanger

[@EthanWarner]

“your heart is the biggest fitness of life” cmon eskimo Ghandi 🤣

[@Alastairrrrrrrrr]

I think Joe should write a book about his mental health or just write down what he thinks on a day to day bases and this will help him open up to himself ❤

[@pauljbhd6532]

Make the cameras higher like they used to be. Keep it up joe mate. Remember your genuine worth to this platform and all of people who genuinely care and value you and your content. Never change(for the worse)

[@greenfingers1]

Its crazy i relate so much to what joe says

[@16coreys]

Theo does that make sense Baker

[@plum8774]

The Snapchat from the nan in the grave was the episode where you read the messages people sent in. One lad mentioned he had got a Snapchat message from his dead nan like, a week later after she had passed or something

[@psychxtic9638]

first time listening to this podcast and i love it

[@lukegreen1979]

Take a shot everytime Theo says iron man

Honestly Joe, long time watcher of the pod and not once ever noticed you talking close to the mic? And I could speak for the majority of us watchers too
