I truly loves this guy how he breaks things down into micro details and explains precisely whats occurs after different levels of therapy thank you million dollar advise
You are awesome! I’ve been experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders for almost all of my life. I have been studying different teachings, read tons of books, however I feel that although I have improved, the core issues that cause my life to be the way it is haven’t been thoroughly addressed. I know I felt like I was never good enough and that something is wrong with me and that I got from my mother this need to be physically perfect and slender, which is the most inportant thing in the world for me (😢)and that of course I have been struggling with all of my life (keep my weight down) and while I would love to feel comfortable in my own body and be effortlessly think, I am so tired of this tyranny!
What a journey! I love what you said about the importance of how we percieve anxiety, because it can easily become a vicious cycle. Instead of fearing that feeling we can see it as a healing mechanism and when we do that, we're tramsforming it into something useful. such important information for so many people suffering.
I was on anxiety meds for about 14 years as well. Paxil was one I was on for a while. It was very hard getting off of because I had major withdrawal symptoms. Brain zaps were brutal. Thank God I no longer take anything. I love your videos! Thanks! 🙏🏻
Hello David, your personal share about your passage through anxiety, addictions and physical illness challenges resonated with my life story in some ways.As a highly sensitive empathic child I absorbed all the chaotic, aggressive and repressed emotions and violence in my family. I was numb by my teen years and began to unravel when I was 19. I experienced decades of feeling isolated and different. Emotionally disassociated. I would not still be here on planet Earth if not for the love and patience of my partner of 40 years. He passed in 2022. Losing him cracked me open to healing in ways I couldnt with therapists and other modalities.The shame kept me hidden. I also traveled a path of maintaining with anti depressants and anxiety meds.for 30 years. Most of which did nothing for me except create side effects. I finally am getting the help, tools and support I need.I appreciate your honest and direct way of sharing your story. I worry for the young people. You will help many living with anxiety and depression. I have shared your video to my fb feed.😊🌻🌺🍀
Thank you! You put into words exactly what I haven’t been able to put into words. Yours was so similar to my anxiety experience which I could never put into words. This will help me help my daughter and her therapist.
Hi David! I have a 22 year old son who experienced what sounds like the same thing you had as a teen. Severe abdominal pain, elevated liver enzymes and this happened on and off for a few years. Thank goodness he never had his gall bladder removed, but I would appreciate it if you can give me the actual name of the condition you had just in case something like this happens in the future. He is now a sheriffs deputy and doing well. It’s been a few years since he has had an attack, but I don’t want an over zealous doctor to jump the gun and take out his gall bladder without first checking to see if it could be this same issue you experienced. Thank so much for all the great info!
Your story and mine are so similar. Wow. Thanks for your transparency!
Thank you! So helpful! Everyone has some sort of trauma and so many of us do cover it up with addiction. I do. I wish we could normalize working on our feelings instead of hiding them and suppressing them. You are a light for the world. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this…means more than I can put into words at this time in my life. ❤❤❤
When you mentioned benzos, I got off those after being on them for three years it was the best decision of my life. They were literally driving me crazy
Do you know Ray and Rich Bayer from San Diego. Michigan State U.. drake Prokennex ??
Those meds are horrible took them for a few years all they do is numb you to the point where you become dependent on them. It gets to a point where all your suppressed emotions will blow up its only a matter of time plus the withdrawals are terrible I went off mine cold turkey which isnt recommended but I made it.
Hey David! I love your messages and appreciate your contribution to the collective. I have heard you reference the heliocentric model as the “good math” and, in the spirit of that good math idea, which I totally agree with, invite you to take a closer look at the heliocentric model. If you do, I am confident that you will see that scientists can make math work for just about any preconceived conclusions and that all of “the science” points CONCLUSIVELY to the fact that we do not live on a spinning ball. I’d love it if you would sincerely look into the matter with an open mind and then make a video about your findings and how your findings change things for you, if at all. As Google is censoring the truth about this topic, here is a great resource to get you or anyone started on this fantastic quest to discovering the truth about where we are:
