You were really brave travelling all the way to China, on your own, not knowing what to expect and having anxiety issues. Well done for achieving that.
Gerard i was like you six yrs ago, then i lost my mother, my dog, and almost my life. You are physically able,enjoy your dogs..i am 57, and struggling to keep my unit, bedbound..living on my own..i get it. When you don't have a supportive family its hard. pls focus on the positives, honestly its about attitude
If it's any consolation, I'm a female living in wonderful Southern California (haha, SoCal is miserable). I look and act like the typical yoga, vegetarian, spiritual, fit Californian, but I know life is a terrible joke and everyone around me is a miserable fraud. I'm having a really hard time socially interacting and faking that everything is okay. I take my senior rescue dog out to the beach super early in the morning to avoid people and traffic and then I run home and hide. I'm staying alive for my doggie but it's getting harder to play the game.
Move to a different place if work permits, maybe finding work online where you can be a digital nomad so then you could travel move around with your doggy
Yeah Ego Death is a hard thing … when you take red pill and see society as the sham it is its hard to “live the lie”. We need to get back to village living .. community minded! London is cold and heartless
@@mikespike2099 Yes, I know what you're saying about London, I've been there. However, I think London is less insane than much of U.S. Bottom line though, the entire world and humanity is screwed up. 🤦
Thanks for sharing your china story - would like more of that...maybe something about experiences teaching English, I hear it's difficult to do that there now?
Hey Gerald , been really enjoying your videos since I found you a few days ago. Just one thing I wanted to suggest, that you don’t have the music at the end of your videos. I sometimes like to listen to them when I’m having a sleep so because of the music at the end I have to use a timer to turn off the video. Just a suggestion, I feel like others probably feel the same though. Thanks again for your videos, I relate to them a lot, and I think you inspire me to be more honest with my thoughts and feelings.
Thanks, I'll think about that from now on, maybe I should do a poll, sorry about the music, if ppl want me to keep them maybe I can make them quiter, the problem is that I get the same problem with mediation videos, they slap an ad right in the middle or at the end or the beginning, so even if I take them off there could be an add at the end, so maybe I can make them less loud, good point
I have made a poll where people can vote on what to do about the music at the end of the video, maybe soft music at the end could be a compromise or put music if its more energetic at the beginning, if you have time see what we can come up with here ua-cam.com/channels/31mC8WdPKnwkRrUAKbc3eQ.htmlcommunity?lb=UgkxZLw2aAg7bsGBAYH3bgq_Fd6pG7SQ4iSq
@@gerofiore9695 Thank you mate. Yes regarding ads, I have youtube premium for this reason haha, no ads. I usually use asmr videos to sleep actually. I prefer listening to yours when I'm driving or doing the dishes because it's great to hear what you have to say. It's only occasionally I've listened to it just before sleep lol. Obviously whatever you decide regarding the music is cool though!
Ive just broken up with my girlfriend who is a therapist. What you said about 'script' and 'robot' resonated with me. I often felt like Im talking to myself and not really talking to someone who was empathising, but following a manual of stock responses. That must make you feel x, y and z? How does that make you feel? Weirdly the feeling that you are talking to some kind of AI bot makes it a bit easier to walk away. I wonder how many therapists are actually in reality the least empathetic humans. I find your vlogs more like therapy because you are honest and without artifice.
@@gerofiore9695 Well. Having one try to talk to as a therapist rather than a partner is highly annoying. But she is a decent person, and of course would never talk about clients. Im sure all therapists are not cut from the same cloth.
I remember when i went to the hospital when i had a breakdown years ago, i ended up walking out because of the lack of empathy.I understand they're busy, but you could tell they just didn't care.Touch wood, I'm okay now, and I've learned to heal myself when i feel down.
Self healing is important, self reliance in every form may be needed at some point, everytime I went to see a therapist I felt like a guinea pig or lab rat
Hi, Many moons ago, I was a security officer guarding a small car yard. I noticed some dude jumping into a few different yards looking for something. Then he headed my direction asked if he could borrow my car battery cuz he was stuck in the middle of a close intersection, close to a service station. Cut long story short, I obliged, watched him drive away.
Gerald...there is a great 12 step group called Emotions Anonymous. It's very supportive and the people there are all working together to create a better life. It's very loving and non judgemental. Maybe there is a meeting near you? It is in many countries.❤
It's like Alcohol Anonymous, but for anyone with any emotional or mental health challenges. I attend here in Phoenix, Arizona. They have online meetings too if you like, with people all over the world. Much love to you 💛💙
Let me see, France , Germany, Poland, Belarus (meaning White Russia in Chinese), then Russia, in Russia you arrive at the station and have 12 hours to get the connecting train from another part of Moscow that leaves for Beijing, if you take the Trans-Siberian then it passes over the top and you avoid Mongolia, the trans Mongolian passes through Mongolia and you need a visa for that country as well
Hehehe ... Lurch, I met him whilst working as a waiter in the Hospitality Inn in Bayswater in London W2, now it doesn't exist, my old school doesn't exist as well, now that does make you feel old, when you outlive buildings ;)
I've had counselling sessions many years ago in a different life. I was just about to write "when I was going through a difficult time" but I've just made myself laugh as i'm going through a difficult time right now! I suppose I'm just tougher and can handle things different. Yes I definitely felt like I was just talking to myself. I found therapy useless! They're like robots. Ususlly just give you numbers on a bit of paper and pass the buck to someome else I read a lot of peoples symptoms (especially reflux) going off on holiday. Mine stopped afyer my mother died. Yours is more mid WIFE crisis i think than a mid Life Crisis. You'll be pain free and happy once she is out of it. Trust me! That's where most of your problems reside. She needs to go and live in the annex and you take back your power. Get your independence and confidence back. It's achievable!
Hehe ... relegate her to the annex. I think you get or I get, what we pay for, maybe if I pay for therapy then I can get a better quality of therapist, maybe, Ive heard that before. Yh, I wonder it that's true, on holiday you move more you are more active, happier, I think it ay all help to trigger some bio chemical reactions within the brain and body. Yh ... I think she has her own serious issues, maybe perimenopause, lupus, maybe the jab all can affect the mind, God knows what it is, she never used to be like this, she was very nice.
Getting off psyche meds is really, really hard; and even after three years of being med free, finally after being on them my entire adult life; I am still suffering from rolling panic attacks and depression. I don’t think the impact these drugs have, on the brain, after decades of use, is really understood by medical professionals because reestablishing a base line is virtually impossible. It wasn’t until I got my friend to mail me some shrooms and lsd, and I began to trip did my brain 🧠 really reset healthily and I felt a remarked improvement. Not everybody’s cup of tea but it was what cured me
I have real FEAR of trips, cause Ive had bad trips, the feeling of being not in control causes massive anxiety for me, Ive had bad trips on Taurine and also on Ashwaghanda which are supposed to be safe, both fried my brain for 24 each time. Its great that the shrooms and lsd helped you come off the meds
Meds are essential for me now unfortunately. I forgot to take mine yesterday and im paying the price today. Since i started taking them in 1995 i tried to come off a few times but it always ended in disaster.
Good Morning Gerald, did you ever think maybe it wasn’t the Chinese meds that made you sick since you had it before but contaminated food that you ate, just saying, ❤
@@gerofiore9695 Hello Gerald hope your doing well today, I tried to respond to your thank you for 3 cups of coffee, but it says my email address is not valid, that’s crazy, anyway I hope it helps in some small way
Gerard I keep watching your videos and I keep thinking this guy needs to look into autism. You are good at researching. Look it up and you might find you relate personally to what youre reading.
Hi. Yes - I've already communicated this to him few weeks ago, because I'm an Audhd bod. Few of us have said to him about neurodiversity. He said he was listening & wud consider reading up/book c his GP.
God how she talks to you at the end.. like shit on her shoe. She's a bully. No love. No respect. I hate her so much and don't even know her.. but how she gets away with it makes me so angry. You gotta do something to change your life there 😌
30 years of benefits. Man, if you would ever try to do some works in constructions it would heal 80 percents of your problem. I am not mockin you. I trully believe in it. That's why I will not watch the chanel anymore. Good luck
You can leave, but first make a statement that is TRUE, I never claimed benefits for 30yrs, just because I didn't work doesn't mean I claimed benefits, infact more like 40yrs and only claimed maybe 5, have a nice life my friend but get MY facts right before leaving. Peace to you.
Calm yourself down, sometimes doing exercise may help, jogging on the spot, doing some shadow boxing, or punching a pillow does help, think calming thoughts, maybe darken the room go lie down, drink Chamomile
For panic attacks..so so so horrible..I up my meds if I ever feel panicky now. Marija ana alcohol deep breathing ..u have to find what works for u. I hate hate them ..
@@claudiaschneider5744 Funny you should say that, when I first went to this guy, it was an old place and he was famous, 4 yrs later he became famous and new building etc and maybe the manufacturing process changed
Thanks for watching guys ❤👍😪🤞🐶🐺🐱❤
