Timesuck | Bizarre Mental Disorders

[@jkcolorado78]

Thank you for this episode. I suffer from bipolar and I am a recovering alcoholic. I am tired of being called crazy and it's nice to hear the acceptance and understanding from you. Hail Nimrod, praise Lucifina. Thank you Master Sucker!!

[@jeffroy535]

T M S Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is the modern day electric shock therapy. And YES it really does work for depression as well as substance abuse disorder. Thanks for the channel bro.

[@shannontheartist]

Dan... your podcast has been a turning point in my own mental health recovery. I'm taking time off of work to get myself well. Bipolar disorder is a rough road. Finding something to keep my mind engaged and grounded has really given me something to look forward to. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the great work. You make learning fun. Hail nimrod ♡

[@eternalnight5935]

Thanks for the episode. I have chronic depression (actually diagnosed) and therapy is a very useful tool and something that needs to be utilized by more people. Stigmatization of mental health disorders is slowly diminishing but still has a long way to go. Thank you for your contributions. Hail Nimrod and praise be to the Good Boy Bojangles!!!

[@megenashley]

Exploding Head Syndrome is so weird!! It has happened to me a few times in my life and was accompanied with what felt like a rubber band snap in my brain. I even saw what looked like a jagged checkerboard behind my eyes which happens sometimes when I hear a sudden sound in the real world. The brain is so cool.

[@donburkett1311]

😆 that alien hand part. I'm dying! 😆🤣 "What if every time you tried to eat some chili with one hand your other hand just slapped the spoon out of your hand"

[@Blastycat]

Don Burkett that part got me too lol

[@growingtolive2383]

I have clinical depression and have for several years. Thank you for hitting on this, Dan.

[@carlaventuri2578]

Thanks, Dan, for having this discussion. I have bp ll and and anxiety disorder but do very well on meds. I used to experience sleep paralysis and exploding head syndrome, both were a result of stress and lack of sleep, and haven't happened in years. I can't stand loud noises and wear Bluetooth headphones all day to block them out. After listening to this podcast I realize that things could be worse.

[@Jebus53]

I experienced the symptom of exploding head syndrome, I was sleep deprived and stressed, I was napping on the couch and before actually falling asleep I heard what sounded like a gunshot, but there was nothing and everyone was fast asleep. It happened several times. But after getting a good sleep on regular basis it never happened again. I mean it was a weird experience.

[@ShaunaFox]

I love that you're covering this! As someone who works in the construction industry, I'm trying to focus and bring light to this subject...considering construction industry has the highest rate of suicide. thank you for making me laugh while bringing light to a very important subject!

[@LoRo_Moon_Stars]

"Well, if you're so dead smart guy, how are you still able to play PS4 all day, eat all the eggos, and drink all the milk?"🤭😂🤣😂

[@lime2107]

The sound of my husband stirring his coffee in a stainless steel tumbler with a spoon makes me want to rage uncontrollably. It's horrible.

[@betsyrondeau5885]

I feel like that every time I hear Coldplay.

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

Do whacha gotta do to put those clowns back in the car. Best advice ever.

[@SillyCaptainSparrow]

Anyone else have misophonia in regards to the sound of pouring liquid?? Or am I the only one ready to literally fight my roommates whenever they use the Brita?

[@thomassloat7936]

Thank you for spending the time to cover Misophonia. I was 16 when I blurted out at the dinner table for my Dad to stop breathing so loud (I am now 46). From that point on I was very aware of my anger when triggered. I don't ever remember thinking that something was wrong with me, but instead, I struggled with not understanding why others didn't recognize the issue. I finally heard about Misophonia about 5 years ago through a text from my ex-girlfriend's daughter. It was like a revelation. I stop eating popcorn when the theater goes quiet, why can't the rest of you!?

[@johannalittle8120]

I have misophonia and this is ACCURATE

[@tylerramsey8901]

I have exploding head syndrome. It fuggin sucks. This was an awesome TS. I always enjoy the suckage!

[@guillermoelias24]

Had an ex who had Misophonia. I once sent her a webm of bass boosted crunching from the Penguins of Madagascar movie. My friend sent me it, and it had me laughing too hard in Wal-Mart, so I sent it to her, forgetting she had Misophonia. I couldn't stop myself from crying from laughter after I realized that. Good shit.

[@jeffroy535]

I can't listen to you while in church anymore lol. Your Arnold Schwarzenegger voice about challenging the skin walker caused me to bust out laughing lol. That was a good one brother. Have a merry Christmas.

[@leepolson401]

Mopping up Sucks I have missed. This was great. I did see one of those UK cops shows where someone had broke into someones house while the owners were asleep. They took him away but found out later the guy thought he was a washing machine. I mean....WTF?

[@TheKillerkooter68]

Dude you are absolutely fabulous the most sane levelheaded great guy out there thanks for putting us all out and making us feel like normal people man

[@MaTtYMcBlack]

We looked into each others eyes during the pause.

[@Coleerosekane]

Best ending ever.

[@datgurl12121]

Dan going over the different types of disorders felt like an attack. Is this like bingo? Because I have bingo.

[@groofay]

Me listening to this episode: "ok, when will he get to the 'bizarre' part?"

[@timmothyadams9079]

When your favorite comic / podcast host reads your update 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🙌🙌🙌🙌 then that FUCKIN awkward moment when the kids hear him talking about me feel compelled to point out how it just happened to be on the bizarre mental disorders episode.... 😑....love this cult of the curious! keep on suckin!

[@Blastycat]

I legit thought he was about to seriously punch dr. Reverend joe paisley lol I was like omg no! 🤣🤣🤣

[@RIVERINE]

I don't suffer from mental illness... I enjoy every minute of it!

[@CanyouplsNot]

1:39:25 I have that, discovered it in high school when falling asleep in film studies i'd see a flash of light and feel like i get hit by a truck. The teacher was no impressed with the whole waking up flailing part.

[@barbaraanne6806]

Your Edmund Kemper impression always kills me. As for me, moderate-to-severe Generalized Anxiety, OCD, and mild Misophonia that makes me want to throat-punch people every time I hear them yawn. Lol.

[@johnnymansfield5206]

Woot woot new timesuck!!

[@gladtobealoser5305]

Love the shirt Dan,TN guy myself

[@juliajergentz6976]

I saw that video with the guy who thought his mom was an imposter! That disorder is such a trip. I love this kinda shit.

[@awkwardturtle77]

I remember having an episode of AWS when I was a little girl, during a high fever while sick. And for the longest time I didn't know that exploding head syndrome was a thing, so I'll wake up to a bang, get out of bed, and try to find the source of the noise.

[@linkguist6861]

Anxiety is a physiological reaction to anxiousness. Sometimes anxiety can present itself even when you're not feeling anxious. Its the same feeling as tilting too far back in a chair but perpetually. It can also present as irritability and catatonic dissociation.

[@hexblackwood]

Dear suckmaster supreme You mentioned a condition that I have 1:08:32 Mirror touch synesthesia. I prefer to call it empathetic synesthesia (sin--ist--ease--ee--uh for captain mushmouth) because that more closely resembles what happens. It's a condition where if I see something happening to someone or someone do something that I've done before I also feel like I'm doing it as well. It's most notable when it comes to pain, like if I see someone in my office get a papercut, I also feel like I got a papercut on the same finger. This made it especially hard to visit my grandpa in the hospital after his heart surgery because I've had a pulled muscle in my chest before so when I knew he had chest pain from surgery I felt like I pulled a chest muscle again. This also happens with everyday things I see people do like kissing, hugging, hand holding, typing on keyboards, separating paper, sneezing, itching, coughing, headaches and eating. The eating part makes it difficult to talk to people while they're eating because I'll feel like I'm chewing and swallowing food while talking and it'll make me stumble and distract me and make me lose my train of thought. Luckily, most people in my life know about my condition and don't think I'm being rude when I look away when they're doing something or get a cut. It's not a horrible condition to have, though sometimes I'll have a lot of pain in my arm or stomach and think I might need to see a doctor but then I remember that I saw a video of someone getting hit there or something and remind myself that it's all in my head. So far I've met two other people who have this condition as well. They were like me in that they didn't know it was abnormal until they found out that it is and it has a name. We're friends now (yay, mental disorder buddies) and I don't know how common or uncommon it is but on my end it doesn't seem very rare, though I might be in a unique situation. And, to answer your question, yes. It does make watching porn more interesting, MMA is difficult to watch BUUUUUUT action movies are okay because I can tell myself that it's all fake and they're not getting hurt which (usually) lessens or makes the condition go away. That along with the fact that action movies are so over the top and unrealistic that I don't feel anything when watching because it's so disconnected from reality.

[@andrelinoge4340]

Wow! Crazy. I've heard of synesthesia before... A type I believe where people see numbers as colors and things like that. Very Interesting. Thanks for sharing your story. I appreciate it.

[@lucygresham3012]

LMAO....that poor man at the gym....that tickled me x

[@StarHunter0223]

I definitely have misophonia! Now I know why I almost slapped a chicken strip out of my grandmother's hand once 😂

[@gaylehudson7267]

picture this. My son is deaf as a post and schizophrenic. Now imagine being in the room with him while he is eating tater chips AND having hallucinations, Bless his heart.

[@stevenhart6595]

As someone who studies psychology, this was very interesting. I will say, it would be wonderful, dear Suckmaster, if you could suck on Carl G. Jung. He was a very influential psychologist and had a hell of a crazy life, as well as some wild ideas. Just food for thought

[@heathercurry898]

Omg, I totally had Alice in Wonderland syndrome as a kid! I had several episodes at night where I just lay panicking, because I felt like my room was both large and small. I remember a feeling as if a tire was balancing on a strand of hair that wouldnt break despite the impossible weight. There were shocks of color and ribbons of light despite the room being completely dark. This episode would last for an hour, and I'd just suffer through it. This stopped just before middle school. Now I think I know what this was, so thank you TimeSuck!

[@chrisbedard3924]

I experience Alice in Wonderland Syndrome! I just thought I was nuts til I read about it a few years ago. I'm short and can't reach anything but every now and then I am several feet below a thing. Sometimes my hallway seems to go on and on, my husband likes to call this House of Leaves Syndrome. I understand what it is so I can talk myself through it well enough, but I'm always afraid it will hit while I'm driving. I've been told it's related to my regular migraines, nothing I can do about it.

[@MaryLouiseEklund]

Love the Tennessee shirt!

[@adriandaniels1]

Pretty sure I've experienced exploding head syndrome a couple of times.... after coming down from MDMA 😆. Freaked me out. It also went along with me kicking, seeing a kind of lighting? Like my synapses were going off. And I would chomp the air (can't explain it properly, hope you get what I mean).

[@beckyboisselle2309]

Omg I thought it was just me!! misophonia ....... anyone chewing gum!! I hate anything loud at all. I am an easy nice person, but if the tv is to loud I will lose it.

[@diamondgoose7123]

asking for a friend died laughing

[@natasha222]

Oh the chip thing, me too!!

[@jaredkallner9588]

Like the old crow shirt

[@Scott_G]

4:17 had me rolling.

[@brandybilly4035]

Misaphonia is apart of Sensory Disorder. I've seen a high occurance of overlap of sensory disorder and adhd and autism.

[@Firestarsteel9]

I think I might have exploding head syndrome. There have been nights where I SWEAR I hear my door (which is closed) slam shut or get punched, I also usually see a sudden flash of white when this happens. My son, who sleeps in the same room as me, never wakes up, stirs, or otherwise reacts to it.

[@kaylankirschenman5853]

I've never heard of anyone else scaring their Grandma but I too loved to jolt my gran. She'd holler and then call me a little shit. I say it was a form of electroshock therapy that helped keep the ol bird alive

[@zackaryxbinks]

Man, some of this just seems like a biography of me. Bipolar, anxiety, depression, misophonia, irrational phobias, mild OCD... yeah, I'm right on track with this episode.

[@zackaryxbinks]

@@jakepin890 I was rather hoping that no one would notice.

[@Bruhsephus]

That's a dope shirt, where can i get one?

[@jasmirris]

I know it's been a bit, but eek! That part about your ex! Hope you have a restraining order of some sort, she sounds like trouble.

[@tchenzhen8187]

Hail Nimrod!

Ohhhh, the amount of people that think I’m nuts, is well over 1.🤣

Goddammit you're doing good. Keep it up Cumsomething

[@creativeusername8760]

Ive felt a lot of these on psychadelics lol

[@bigredz932]

I feel like A.D.H.D. in some cases could be explained by mesophonia.

1:06:00 Wasn't that what Walter White tried to say happened to him in Breaking Bad?

[@hinglemcgringleberry]

the state hospital in the town i grew up in got in trouble for conducting "sexual experimentation" on mentally challenged folks just about a year or so ago. so still not great.

[@Jebus53]

Honestly Dan, the sound thing, it bothers me when someone puts there fork and knife together making that horrendous sound, or typing on keyboard, and eating chips loudly.

[@kaylapratley3]

I have Coulrophobia. I don’t do the whole clown thing

[@dannymiller7187]

Damn I thought I was crazy but Dan is fucking nuts. Haha but for real my favorite part about living in this present time is that mental health problems are so much more accepted and not thought of as a weakness to have or a weakness to get help for them. In my parents time getting hell for anything like that means you’re a useless weak freak. That’s sad as fuck.

[@thebarberfrombrampton5404]

You have to be crazy, or else you’ll go insane.

[@VersusArdua]

I had no idea Alice from Alice In Wonderland had the last name 'Liddell'. That feels weird to me for some reason. Like I assumed she only had the one name like Beyonce, or Madonna or something.

[@moreflythanyou9499]

It's really shitty and selfish advice to tell someone that feels no reason to live that they should stay around for *you* and *your feelings*. If you literally can't give a suicidal person one single reason other than "do it for me", then you value your emotions over that person's

[@1SacreD1]
