Why People Get Depersonalization Disorder - ua-cam.com/video/cqbSybhdy40/v-deo.html How I Recovered From 10 Years of Depersonalization Disorder - ua-cam.com/video/maU7D7c9oEQ/v-deo.html
I have never come across someone who is able to articulate so well the exact thoughts and feelings I go through. I have dealt with depersonalisation and derealization since I was about 15 years old when I had my first panic attack whilst smoking weed. Since reading the comments it seems a lot of other people have gone through the same thing. I struggle to come to terms with my own existence, I feel like I’m in a simulation sometimes and it gets so overwhelming that sometimes I feel faint, weird, lightheaded. I have called multiple ambulances convinced I have a brain tumour, been to the hospital many many times convinced that I am going crazy. I have never seen nor heard of anyone else that has been through this, it’s terrifying and you feel extremely alone when trying to explain it to someone that has never had these thoughts before. This video was so comforting 💘 and to anyone else that is struggling with this, you are not alone, we will be okay.
You not alone, our anxiety over activates our sympathetic nervous system which triggers all sorts of panics and hyperchondria. I thought I had brain tumour as well, forced my doctor to get MRI of the brain and it was all fine.
Also never underestimate the body component. Excersise 3x per week for atleast 20-30min every week. Sleep a lot (i slept 9 hours every night). Do progressive muslce relaxation every morning. Stop alcohol, nicotine and coffein. Try to do yoga to relax your body and go for walks in nature often. ❤
Nothing worse than completely quitting ,alcohol, nicotine and caffeine. Do it just in moderation. Forget yoga and Pray to god. When you realize how much jesus loves you and your problems go away.
Weird thing is I’ve always dealt with depersonalization for the longest time but I never thought anything of it. But when I smoked out of a bong and had a hyper realization that I’m an actual human being and existing on earth. I had my first panic attack and I was so scared that I was gonna die 😢 2 months went by and I’m still dissociating
I’ve always had anxiety when smoking weed. But one day, I smoked a presidential blunt with some buddies and I completely collapsed in onto myself. I was hyperventilating, mind was racing, anxiety going through the roof. If my buddy wasn’t there to get me through it, I fear I would’ve entered a mental death. Thoughts on the event still scare me to this day.
I had this happen to me after getting way too high.It’s been about a month and I’m feeling much better. You can question reality but you can’t be scared of it. Even if it feels weird you have to embrace it and not be scared of it. IT WILL GO AWAY WHEN YOU STOP BEING SCARED OF IT.
Always remember: Those who havent found the ultimate meaning of life arent insane - Those who claim to have found its ultimate truth are the ones who are insane. (Like extremists who kill people because they are sent by god and such claims) You will never find meaning by rational thinking about life and worry about your existence. You will find meaning by expiriencing life. There are so many things to explore in this world that even 10 thousand lifes wouldnt be enough to see everything - so stop the worry and start living again. ❤
You’re so stupid.. We are worried because something is not functioning properly in our brain! I’m tired of people like you come and tell us stop this or that. It’s exactly like when you have broken arm and I come and tell you stop wearing the casket let’s go play tennis. It’s lots of fun and we can even join the tournament all over the world🙂 Why are you wearing this?? You’re wasting your time.
loved this video and its spot on with what im learning. i always wondered why i felt this way - every day. thats why it never went away. in the last month i started to understand that this is all from anxiety. i can have the same thought about life in a stressed state and it freaked me out - but the same thought when my body and mind was relaxed and it really didnt bother me. thats when i started to realise how much fear influences your thinking. i just accept the feelings now because im not that scared of them anymore. Im also getting into stoicism. The stoics like marcus aurelius (an emperor of rome) teached that our wellbeeing is dependend on the quality of our thoughts and we should not focus on things outside of our control, instead focus on what is in our control. This existential worry is all about things outside of our control. im in a mindset of i dont need to understand the ultimate meaning of life or my existence - just accept this gift of life and stop wasting your time on those useless worries - start living! My time is limited and i will live my life to the fullest. i will try to make the best of it! And constantly worry about things i will never (and dont even have to) understand is just holding me back. I just jump back into life even if i feel unreal sometimes, i dont let this take my life away. And it works - i feel better everytime i accept it more. Some days its almost completley gone. Thank you for sharing ❤
This is such a good explanation. This began for me early in the am while i was working in a nursing home. I had the thought that while looking at my coworkers and everyone else around me that they are human beings yes, BUT i felt as though i was viewing animals and it freaked me out. Very existential. I ended up having a 10/10 panic attack days later after i witnessed a death. Have not been the same since. Thanks for this!
my main problem with this is that I feel that everything that I do to distract myself from these thoughts feels like "cheating" and that I must know the true meaning behind it all and do not try to escape it, it's fucking hell
I've suffer this , even though I know everything im still confused,.im scared of everything my self , family,place,.i keep questioning why im scared of my life why im scared of reality I question my self i know everything but seems like im new to this world
Let reality work and all will be fine. Everyone perceive and thinks differently but we are one. Learn to pursue compassion, helping others, and deep introspection
This was an amazing video. I am currently going through this. It just hit me randomly 2 weeks ago, been breathing and living happily on this planet for 27 years and then all of a sudden BOOM!! Hit me like a ton of bricks. The euphoric out of body experience, and feeling like we are living in a simulation, it's insane. But now I learned from you that it is due to past trauma. I have been in 8 car accidents, as well as being disowned by my parents.. so now I know there is a cause for it which is making me feel a ton better. I will keep practicing what you said in this video. Thank you so much!!!
Can anyone relate? The thought that brings me the most anxiety is thinking about the fact that anything exists, me, the world, the universe, the fact that something exists is so abstract and illogical and the thought of it paralizes me
Wow, this video really spoke to me! I've struggled with depersonalization before, and it's such a scary feeling. But watching this video gave me real hope and practical tips on how to deal with it. I love how it explained the connection between depersonalization and anxiety, and the steps on how to ground yourself were so helpful. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
Thank you. I've suffered from DR for years after a bad panic attack and I've only recently began having bad anxiety and panic attacks because of it. This video really helped me.
That would be a wrong video, trauma isn't 'trapped' in the subconscious that Is how Freud saw it and what was only the beginning of understanding trauma. Now we know trauma is not 'trapped' anywhere instead it traps YOU influencing in all different areas in life
I had this existential angst for 4 years. Then it suddenly stopped. And my life started to get better. Sadly, my grandma, the woman who brought me up died suddenly 2 weeks ago in my arms and it reignited all those incredibly shitty feelings. I get panic attacks, a generalised sense of danger and doom. I feel irritated 24/7. I fear death so much and everything seems bleak and totally vain. I don't know if I'm gonna make it to be honest.
Feel like I'm living in my own reality. For example...things that people get angry about I dont get it. Also the emotions and everything. Feel like something is wrong with me. I font even feel desperate for relationships but that's what scares me. I feel I'm in another dimension. When people are serious and quiet...it scares me because I'm over aware and always high.
hi how can i accpet thr fear my own existence i had So much thoughts and fears about mine own Point of View and Even now that I am writing, thoughts come to me that how and why and fear of my own existence I have been suffering about 4 years after having an anxiety attack while smoking weed
Idk if this is the same as, or part of what you talked about in this video (probably is) but the sensation of my consciousness feels like I’ve lost something, feels like the sensation of it is not meant to be there. Idk how to explain it
Maybe we struggle with these thoughts as part of our constant evolution and adapting of the brain , concious is relatively new and perhaps iur brain is just doing what were made to do and advance learn overcome so thus these thoughts are us just furthering into the levels of consciousness also learning about the history and what is consciousness and the science behind it it helps
I experience it 10 years ago and recently I think it has come back, due to me being highly stressed & high anxiety, idk if this is it; but I keep seeing myself, almost like my darn eyes balls is backwards and I’m trying to watch myself. Could that be it ?
Maybe we struggle with these thoughts as part of our constant evolution and adapting of the brain , concious is relatively new and perhaps iur brain is just doing what were made to do and advance learn overcome so thus these thoughts are us just furthering into the levels of consciousness
I mean, this can be applied to the simulation hypothesis too! Simulation = Unreal which does not equal real life… I think. No, I know! Anyone who tries to prove it needs help themselves. Even with the sensory aspects! Way to go man!
Ive got really bad derealization and depersionalisation, i have had it for so many years, since i was a child, i managed yo escape it for a few months but now its back... I always question how i am inside of my own life and how im the main charecter
Please help. I have Panic attacks of: what is my body, what i am seeing and who i am, what is my brain and who thinks this thoughts and what is thinking. Its Like im not thinking when i think about it. How can i think when im afraid of thinking and how can i get out of it when im afraid of who am i and what i am seeing. Its liked im disconnected to my body and the more i think of it i get more anxiety and more dp/dr. I focuse 100 % of the day on the Symptoms and watch my self i Cant do nothing without anxiety. Is that normal and can i get back to life or is my life over and i have to go in the Psychiatriy and get drugs Till end of my life?
It is very normal to have these types of fears and thoughts when experiencing depersonalisation symptoms, I was the same. I never took any medication and recovered. Others have experienced the same, they didn't take medication. Some people found medication to be useful as a temporary help. I can recommend looking at the UA-cam channel for Shaan Kassam as he specifically has help for panic attacks and anxiety.
I think I have experienced a type momentary amnesia. .where was unusual increase of commotion around me as well as people talking. . and I can't really remember details of what was going on. .and can't really answer to what happened
Hello brother I just wanted to ask a quick question cuz you have studied depersonalization deeply and I’m expecting a very honest n practical response.Actually i hv had depersonalization fron the past 4 months and most of my symptoms have vanished already but the only one to persist is the disconnection and detachment from myself like my sense of self is very distorted but I’m not connected with myself at all.Plz let me know that will this dissociation and detachment also get 100% recovered or is it highly manageable but not fully curable(means I wont b the same person as before) cuz right now my mind cant imagine going to a normal state just like before Thanks
You can 100% recover from the disconnection from yourself, I have done this and you will find others who have also done the same. E.g the UA-camr Shaan Kassam works with people directly who have anxiety issues and some had depersonalisation symptoms, he sometimes does interviews with those who have recovered. For me what helped specifically with feeling more connected to myself was focusing on my self-worth by looking everyday for things I could accept and like about myself, doing basic exercise so I could feel more in my body and also it kind of naturally happened the more reduced stress in my life. Of course you should still see a professional about this if the issues persist, but for me I noticed the safer I felt within myself and the more I liked myself, the more I felt connected to myself. I made a habit of treating myself in a way that would make me feel good about myself and that helped to create more of a connection to myself.
That sounds like it comes from the anxiety and stress, I can suggest looking into deep breathing relaxation techniques and vagus nerve exercises, I have a video on that called "You can remove stress using your eyes". If you haven't already of course check with your doctor/health professional as well.
I don't care about therapist because i dealt with them all. I need to hear and talk to someone who has gone through tha pain of md and found a way of overcome those its seems impossible to me though but if you really overcomed it please talk to me once just once
Hi, as I work a full-time job and have other things that keep me busy, I currently do not have the time to speak to people one on one. I suggest watching my in-depth video on maladaptive daydreaming where I go in-depth into how I recovered. The video is called "I was addicted to daydreaming, this is how I recovered". You can find this on the main channel page. The key concept to understand is - MD is an adaptive response and coping mechanism to stress, trauma or even in some cases lonliness (which can be type of stress). It is our mind's way of helping us to divert our attention from some kind of stress or discomfort, or an attempt to meet an emotional need. I recovered by finding the root of the stresses in my life, and either removing them or moving away from them, or accepting them, and also letting go of trauma in therapy, feeling my emotions even if they were uncomfortable and practicing mindfulness and concentration based meditation daily to train my mind to be able to recognise if a daydream was occurring and to stop it, and finding ways to meet my emotional needs in healthy ways. It took time to practice these things so there was not an immediate fix. As I have recovered from it, and I find there are others online who have also recovered, I do believe that if others put in the work and take the right actions, they can recover too.
I've overcome it, having DP/DR with existential anxiety where I question the nature of existence itself and a question like "why there is such as existence?" and a feeling like you've unlock some forbidden thoughts and now your life will never be the same again, its just an intrusive and irrational thoughts that creates fear in your mind, its an irrational thoughts fueled by feeling of fear so do not trust it, I can have those same thoughts but I don't feel anxious anymore, so it just go away on its own
"You don't know everything, and you don't have to know everything" thoughts like this have no answer, it is the fear, feeling of isolation and anxiety that's causing you distress and not the existential questions itself because most people have the same thoughts about existence and life but they don't get anxious about it, your brain tries to find some answers on your existential question to calm down your anxiety and stress but there is no answers to it, so your anxiety spirals uncontrollably and worsen your suffering like a loop cycle, it is your poor attitude on responding on stress in life that causes anxiety, you should start to face this stress and challenges in all aspects of your life and do not avoid it instead build resilience from it so that you can minimize the damage it creates when another stressful situation arises. After vigorously combating it for almost everyday, I did finally beat it cognitively without any help from a therapy (although I did research on it about its nature) and concluded that it really just boils down to the personality and attitude towards life on how you handle stress and anxious situations, I can still have those thoughts but the feeling of fear and isolation are finally gone, Actually their is a positive side to it, I don't even want to go back to my normal thoughts again, this experience brings so many insights and thought patterns in life and my self that I will never learn if I did not experience this and the greatest lesson is about having a meaning and purpose in life so that your existence the you question will be justified.
Hii is there any way i can contact you. I want to know more about your journey you are probably the first claiming to overcome md and idk it seems so i really to get out of md can we please talk!! Please you can save a life. I really need to about md
why you called it disorder? DP and DR are just symptoms of anxiety with overtime when anxiety comes normal than DP and DR are gone , it’s simple the only problem here is anxiety
It is a recognised disorder for some people when it persists over a long period of time, I was diagnosed with it by a psychiatrist over a decade ago. So based on that and it can be found online as a recognised disorder, I called it that. For some people, yes it is not a disorder but short term symptoms related to stress and anxiety.
Righttt, like it’s a valid question. What is reality? I feel like life is pointless if This question is not answered. He’s just addressing the symptoms and giving u coping mechanisms as if this line of questioning is wrong. It doesn’t change the fact that we are actually alive and don’t know what all this is. I come from a Christian background so I feel like i can’t just ignore the question,if I die in my sins I’m going to hell.God requires our faith to be so strong that we are willing to die for the truth,and personally I don’t think I’m at that point. Christians of the past would rather be put to death then denounce their faith. So if they are in fact right about their being an afterlife then the only thing important to me is finding the truths that they seemed so confident in.Because that’s what’s going to dictate how I live my life, not some bs self subjective purpose that keeps me preoccupied from the real meaning. There is nothing in this world that I want. Nothing. Nada. I am content owning nothing. All I want to know is the reason why we are here. What is all this People say the purpose of life is to pro create. Nowww whyyy Tf would I bring another human from the void into this world to suffer when I don’t even know why I’m here and what it’s all for. That’s just fucked I’m doing my kids a favour and never having them.

How I Recovered From 10 Years of Depersonalization Disorder - ua-cam.com/video/maU7D7c9oEQ/v-deo.html
Hi, do you do one on one conversations?
I have never come across someone who is able to articulate so well the exact thoughts and feelings I go through. I have dealt with depersonalisation and derealization since I was about 15 years old when I had my first panic attack whilst smoking weed. Since reading the comments it seems a lot of other people have gone through the same thing.

You not alone, our anxiety over activates our sympathetic nervous system which triggers all sorts of panics and hyperchondria. I thought I had brain tumour as well, forced my doctor to get MRI of the brain and it was all fine.
Beliveing our thoughts are the ultimate truth, is like believing a drawing of a dog by a child vs the real fully alive dog.
Also never underestimate the body component. Excersise 3x per week for atleast 20-30min every week. Sleep a lot (i slept 9 hours every night). Do progressive muslce relaxation every morning. Stop alcohol, nicotine and coffein. Try to do yoga to relax your body and go for walks in nature often. ❤

Can anyone relate? The thought that brings me the most anxiety is thinking about the fact that anything exists, me, the world, the universe, the fact that something exists is so abstract and illogical and the thought of it paralizes me
Me as well for about the last year
Me too. Been a bother all my life so far. But having these types of explanations really help. 😊

Thank you. I've suffered from DR for years after a bad panic attack and I've only recently began having bad anxiety and panic attacks because of it. This video really helped me.
You should make a video on how to release trapped trauma in the subconscious
I feel like i have trauma after a bad weed edible panick attack kant get over the feeling
That would be a wrong video, trauma isn't 'trapped' in the subconscious that Is how Freud saw it and what was only the beginning of understanding trauma. Now we know trauma is not 'trapped' anywhere instead it traps YOU influencing in all different areas in life
Life saver !
This channel saved my life
Its really nice knowing someone with my problems has succesfully overcame it
thank you... this video made me cry, maybe from relief? or knowing i'm not alone. my existential anxiety has been becoming unbearable
Thanks for this bro i keep telling myself how can i prove reality.. thanks for this video.
My mind is having an opinion. . Very good. .a staye not real. . Don't go down every path you cone across
Thankyou
Danke!
Thanks! I appreciate it 🙂
This really helps
I had this existential angst for 4 years. Then it suddenly stopped. And my life started to get better. Sadly, my grandma, the woman who brought me up died suddenly 2 weeks ago in my arms and it reignited all those incredibly shitty feelings. I get panic attacks, a generalised sense of danger and doom. I feel irritated 24/7. I fear death so much and everything seems bleak and totally vain. I don't know if I'm gonna make it to be honest.
That is rough! You ok?
You will 100%
So sorry for your loss. I lost mine too.
This is me too. I’m so tired. Tired of this constant fear. No one understands how terrifying it is to think this way
You are going make it,we got this!
I wish you knew how much you just helped me.
Feel like I'm living in my own reality. For example...things that people get angry about I dont get it. Also the emotions and everything. Feel like something is wrong with me. I font even feel desperate for relationships but that's what scares me. I feel I'm in another dimension.
When people are serious and quiet...it scares me because I'm over aware and always high.
very good and informative videos man, you go deeper and further than the regular psychologist. thanks!
hi
how can i accpet thr fear my own existence i had So much thoughts and fears about mine own Point of View and Even now that I am writing, thoughts come to me that how and why and fear of my own existence
I have been suffering about 4 years after having an anxiety attack while smoking weed
Mine started the exact same way
Mine too...10yrs ago
Thank you so much this really helped me not be as scared of working in the future.
Idk if this is the same as, or part of what you talked about in this video (probably is) but the sensation of my consciousness feels like I’ve lost something, feels like the sensation of it is not meant to be there. Idk how to explain it
Exactly the same i feel like
Thank you sir, this was very helpful insight!
Thank you so much! This really brings me clarity as I have been dealing with this.
Maybe we struggle with these thoughts as part of our constant evolution and adapting of the brain , concious is relatively new and perhaps iur brain is just doing what were made to do and advance learn overcome so thus these thoughts are us just furthering into the levels of consciousness also learning about the history and what is consciousness and the science behind it it helps
What about the visual discrepancy we feel. How everything looks unreal and also feeling out of body
Thanks man
Relationship with our thoughts
I experience it 10 years ago and recently I think it has come back, due to me being highly stressed & high anxiety, idk if this is it; but I keep seeing myself, almost like my darn eyes balls is backwards and I’m trying to watch myself. Could that be it ?
Same bro

ngl when i was a kid that started experiencing this the first thing i did was search on tips and now im still doin it😭

I think I have experienced a type momentary amnesia. .where was unusual increase of commotion around me as well as people talking. . and I can't really remember details of what was going on. .and can't really answer to what happened
Same happend to me and i really hate it + i can't explain to ppl that
So the main problem is feeling disconnected to the world?
Hello brother I just wanted to ask a quick question cuz you have studied depersonalization deeply and I’m expecting a very honest n practical response.Actually i hv had depersonalization fron the past 4 months and most of my symptoms have vanished already but the only one to persist is the disconnection and detachment from myself like my sense of self is very distorted but I’m not connected with myself at all.Plz let me know that will this dissociation and detachment also get 100% recovered or is it highly manageable but not fully curable(means I wont b the same person as before) cuz right now my mind cant imagine going to a normal state just like before
Thanks
You can 100% recover from the disconnection from yourself, I have done this and you will find others who have also done the same. E.g the UA-camr Shaan Kassam works with people directly who have anxiety issues and some had depersonalisation symptoms, he sometimes does interviews with those who have recovered. For me what helped specifically with feeling more connected to myself was focusing on my self-worth by looking everyday for things I could accept and like about myself, doing basic exercise so I could feel more in my body and also it kind of naturally happened the more reduced stress in my life. Of course you should still see a professional about this if the issues persist, but for me I noticed the safer I felt within myself and the more I liked myself, the more I felt connected to myself. I made a habit of treating myself in a way that would make me feel good about myself and that helped to create more of a connection to myself.
Going through this myself, how are you?
Can you pls suggest something whenever i feel dizzy, weird, light headed in public for this thing????
That sounds like it comes from the anxiety and stress, I can suggest looking into deep breathing relaxation techniques and vagus nerve exercises, I have a video on that called "You can remove stress using your eyes". If you haven't already of course check with your doctor/health professional as well.
If I am not my thoughts should I have pride in all the things I have learnt?
Yes! Because the thoughts are yours, you’re just not identical to them
Hello you are doing good job. How i can contact you??? I really need help plz
I don't care about therapist because i dealt with them all. I need to hear and talk to someone who has gone through tha pain of md and found a way of overcome those its seems impossible to me though but if you really overcomed it please talk to me once just once
Hi, as I work a full-time job and have other things that keep me busy, I currently do not have the time to speak to people one on one. I suggest watching my in-depth video on maladaptive daydreaming where I go in-depth into how I recovered. The video is called "I was addicted to daydreaming, this is how I recovered". You can find this on the main channel page. The key concept to understand is - MD is an adaptive response and coping mechanism to stress, trauma or even in some cases lonliness (which can be type of stress). It is our mind's way of helping us to divert our attention from some kind of stress or discomfort, or an attempt to meet an emotional need. I recovered by finding the root of the stresses in my life, and either removing them or moving away from them, or accepting them, and also letting go of trauma in therapy, feeling my emotions even if they were uncomfortable and practicing mindfulness and concentration based meditation daily to train my mind to be able to recognise if a daydream was occurring and to stop it, and finding ways to meet my emotional needs in healthy ways. It took time to practice these things so there was not an immediate fix. As I have recovered from it, and I find there are others online who have also recovered, I do believe that if others put in the work and take the right actions, they can recover too.
Did u find anything to help?
@@mitch5222 hey currently i am on antidepressants and anti anxiety pills, consulted an psychiatric.. feeling better md is still there but controlled
I've overcome it, having DP/DR with existential anxiety where I question the nature of existence itself and a question like "why there is such as existence?" and a feeling like you've unlock some forbidden thoughts and now your life will never be the same again, its just an intrusive and irrational thoughts that creates fear in your mind, its an irrational thoughts fueled by feeling of fear so do not trust it, I can have those same thoughts but I don't feel anxious anymore, so it just go away on its own
"You don't know everything, and you don't have to know everything" thoughts like this have no answer, it is the fear, feeling of isolation and anxiety that's causing you distress and not the existential questions itself because most people have the same thoughts about existence and life but they don't get anxious about it, your brain tries to find some answers on your existential question to calm down your anxiety and stress but there is no answers to it, so your anxiety spirals uncontrollably and worsen your suffering like a loop cycle, it is your poor attitude on responding on stress in life that causes anxiety, you should start to face this stress and challenges in all aspects of your life and do not avoid it instead build resilience from it so that you can minimize the damage it creates when another stressful situation arises.
After vigorously combating it for almost everyday, I did finally beat it cognitively without any help from a therapy (although I did research on it about its nature) and concluded that it really just boils down to the personality and attitude towards life on how you handle stress and anxious situations, I can still have those thoughts but the feeling of fear and isolation are finally gone,
Actually their is a positive side to it, I don't even want to go back to my normal thoughts again, this experience brings so many insights and thought patterns in life and my self that I will never learn if I did not experience this and the greatest lesson is about having a meaning and purpose in life so that your existence the you question will be justified.
Hii is there any way i can contact you. I want to know more about your journey you are probably the first claiming to overcome md and idk it seems so i really to get out of md can we please talk!! Please you can save a life. I really need to about md
Are we really “disordered” or are we just hyper intelligent to the meaning of life?
your brain is definitely in a trauma/survival state right now lol
why you called it disorder? DP and DR are just symptoms of anxiety with overtime when anxiety comes normal than DP and DR are gone , it’s simple the only problem here is anxiety
It is a recognised disorder for some people when it persists over a long period of time, I was diagnosed with it by a psychiatrist over a decade ago. So based on that and it can be found online as a recognised disorder, I called it that. For some people, yes it is not a disorder but short term symptoms related to stress and anxiety.
nice
Love cures all.
Are u bengali bro?
but. what is reality? is it also an illusion?
Righttt, like it’s a valid question. What is reality?
I feel like life is pointless if This question is not answered.
He’s just addressing the symptoms and giving u coping mechanisms as if this line of questioning is wrong. It doesn’t change the fact that we are actually alive and don’t know what all this is.
I come from a Christian background so I feel like i can’t just ignore the question,if I die in my sins I’m going to hell.God requires our faith to be so strong that we are willing to die for the truth,and personally I don’t think I’m at that point. Christians of the past would rather be put to death then denounce their faith. So if they are in fact right about their being an afterlife then the only thing important to me is finding the truths that they seemed so confident in.Because that’s what’s going to dictate how I live my life, not some bs self subjective purpose that keeps me preoccupied from the real meaning.
There is nothing in this world that I want. Nothing. Nada. I am content owning nothing. All I want to know is the reason why we are here. What is all this
People say the purpose of life is to pro create. Nowww whyyy Tf would I bring another human from the void into this world to suffer when I don’t even know why I’m here and what it’s all for. That’s just fucked I’m doing my kids a favour and never having them.
At least clean the audio for lisp
He doesn’t have a lisp
Someone help me find a therapist online 😢
Hey did you find it i am also strugling from it
