realizing that not everyone lives with crippling anxiety is fucking wild. like… people really just go to stores and talk to people without damn-near having a panic attack.
hey dr. k, i am a teen suffering from depression and anxiety I think i have a very strong sense of Nyan and i have extreme trouble translating it to Vidya. example: question: why are you currently the "you" you? answer: because you are in this universe having this tought, and even if you might think "if there are multiverses why am i me?" that is flawed you will always have YOUR OWN TOUGHTS example 2: i dont think of myself as a human anymore but a "being" that is just a "being"
Let the peace of God rule your heart and mind through Christ Jesus…Read the bible it is the help to anxiety and for dealing with difficult moments, like temptation, hatred, and forgiveness…but dont be using your freedom of peace to be do your immorality…repent to Christ and trust in Him and let God be your desire in the good and bad, take care and be strong in the Lord (not arrogantly strong tho)
Everyone is talking about getting stoned but I'm just anxious still. People say to be future-oriented but that's my default self, I only think about the future and can't enjoy something now. If I were to take a class I see it as 200 hours of work rather than just an hour every weekday. It's hard trying new things, sometimes it's easy if I don't overthink but when I do I just think about how people are better at this then me. Which is stupid because if I just practice I'll get better or to that point but my brain won't shut up. It's like imposter syndrome but it gets in the way of daily life like cooking breakfast
Dew's household, dad and childhood is very very simillar to mine, from the fear of eating too slow, having tight schedules and house rules to being relaxed when dad was out and thinking of mom as the cool one,and I too struggle with this type of anxiety, when Dr.K made that connection with hypervigillance it all made sense to me. When you're groing up, going throught that , it becomes normalized in you so when you eventually grow up it becomes part of life to always be preventive of danger or conflict, never related so much .
His explanation is literally the description of generalized anxiety disorder. You start with a low to medium level of daily anxiety which results in a constant state of sympathetic nervous system arousal which eventually builds up to manifest in physical bizarre and scary symptoms, then you start to fear the symptoms and it becomes self sustaining. Fear of symptoms, causes more symptoms, which causes more fear, which causes more symptoms. I get the feeling Dr K doesn't work with GAD clients to often because this was a classic case from 5 mins in.
I was that stoner that used to believe weed would help with anxiety until I had weed actually give me a panic attack. Now Im a stoner thats cautious about how much I smoke, and when I smoke. Its vitally important to know WHEN i need to be sober and to process certain thoughts and emotions. I still freak out from that panic attack whenever I smoke like "am I going to have another panic attack?" And granted most of the time, I don't. Going to therapy helped me realize this and understand why being sober from weed can be important to your mental health no matter how much it seems to help being constantly stoned.
Yo thanks dr K if you weren’t for your videos I would still be addicted to video games and weed but over the last month I took it all away to work on school and although hard the first week it really helped. Thank you.
I've never seen cDew before but his story reminds me of my own in a lot of ways. Pretty shocking actually. His panic attacks definitely sound like extreme anxious depersonalization which can be induced with drugs. I used to get these as a kid and thought it was just my asthma attacks– no good.
(long and strange story about my life) Guys can you describe what would feel like to have a panic attack when you are just a kid? Like 7-13 I always had a nightmare when I was little about something that would catch me and the worst part was that sometimes i kept having it when waked (I didn't need to have waked to keep having sometimes It was in the middle of the day and the feeling just started for no reason I used to play a lot Yu-Gi-Oh the Duelist of the roses and watch cartoon on TV at that time idk if that's relevant) most happened when I was alone, sometimes even with someone I would have it and I knew it was going to happen, the feeling that something bad is happening and life just gets black and white (not literally I'm not native can't describe in English). It was not that bad but it was a strange feeling that I disliked a lot and it lasted for 10-20min. Then I stopped having this nightmare so I can't describe it but it was 'a thing'. Then I grow up and had a nightmare that stayed even when I was waked but this happened 1 or 2 times max never anymore, it was like a dark place where it had a full horizontal machine that controlled something important and it was like a series of commands all lined up, it had little vertical space but infinity horizontal space so it had infinity patterns all lined up with each other and I did something, I broke 1 line and then everything ruined, when this happened I waked and got to the shower then I forgot the thing to get dry and asked my mom to give me by the door and when she went to grab it I was thinking "I'm so happy my mom is going to solve this problem that I did with that machine" like I was still dreaming but I wasn't anymore then 2 seconds after I really realized that I thought about my dream as in real life without wanting to. I mean, the problem I had when growing up was that my dad was a drunk and a failure so maybe this has something to do with it? Can I get an answer? I don't know my problem as today but it always had to do with studying and time wasted and productivity and success and money etc. I always wanted to be that person that was lined up with 6h of study everyday and had life figured out.
Just think of this reality in the way in which I presented here and it will fracture you're very understanding of this world in which you live. The Monopoly over World economy and monetary system are essentially what we use to derive the misery index. The true root cause of all human-generated misery on the planet stems directly from the Monopoly over economy and monetary system. When you unpack that and you have plenty to unpack there, LOL then come back to this comment and reply.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX MYSELF. IS MEDITATION enough to fix bad attachment, change how i respond to people, change my expectations? I just can't do this anymore.
Breaks my heart watching this. Back in the days Cdew was always my fav streamer because I've been playing a resto shaman since BC. I stopped watching streams and playing because I went through Anxiety and panic attacks in 2017, I had to better myself and it was a tough year but I definitely won the war. Anxiety made me lose weight and live healthier so in a strange way it saved me. Overthinking is my biggest problem now and for the last week and a half I've gone back to mediation and mindfulness which is what helped me in the start. Wish I could chat with Cdew and just share with him. It'll never go away but you learn to accept and live with anxiety.
At 1:33:20 Dr. K asks if they have a deviated septum and I've never seen anyone answer yes. I have a deviated septum and I'm wondering if it makes this technique not work as well?
Hello Dr. K! Love the channel and the conversations. As for the conversation with Cdew, the more "elite" or "more intense" version of the meditation you were going to do with Cdew, to bring on some panic symptoms so he can learn to push past or calm himself down when he feels these symptoms outside, can you please elaborate on that technique? And is that a valid technique to combat panic, as I have learned that exposing yourself to those symptoms or focusing in on your symptoms could prolong panic or maintain it?
When he talked about the first "Panic Attack" I literally had the same thought that Dr.K brings up. That didn't sound like a panic attack, but more like an ego death (or bad trip as some will say). The way he described it was almost exactly what I went through when unknowingly given 25i.
Makes it seem like maybe he was given something other than weed but not impossible to have bad experience just from weed.
The situation he was raised was so CRITICAL, that I think it even, somehow helped him being good as a healer in wow. Cuz, if we think about it, what's one of the best traits u could have being a top tier pvp healer in WoW? Danger anticipation, predicting, expecting danger.
this is insane, and also, I could 1000000% relate to the first panic attack he had have after smoking weed, cuz I had the SAME SHIT. I remember smoking weed for the first time and completely lose control over my body, like I would CRY without even noticing I was crying.
damn, I loved this, such a deep conversation for the ones who follows Cdew for a long time..
I hope he learns how to live with it or even overcome it if i's possible..
The thing I can never understand is how all of these people looking for help with anxiety and depression always have their lives perfectly in order anyway. Married, kids, career, also typically attractive. What hope is there when you have none of those things and can barely leave the house. But then I guess that's the whole point, there's no way to fix people like me, we just fade away.

hey dr. k, i am a teen suffering from depression and anxiety
I think i have a very strong sense of Nyan and i have extreme trouble translating it to Vidya.
example:
question: why are you currently the "you" you?
answer: because you are in this universe having this tought, and even if you might think "if there are multiverses why am i me?" that is flawed
you will always have YOUR OWN TOUGHTS
example 2: i dont think of myself as a human anymore but a "being" that is just a "being"
Let the peace of God rule your heart and mind through Christ Jesus…Read the bible it is the help to anxiety and for dealing with difficult moments, like temptation, hatred, and forgiveness…but dont be using your freedom of peace to be do your immorality…repent to Christ and trust in Him and let God be your desire in the good and bad, take care and be strong in the Lord (not arrogantly strong tho)

I had a similar experience when taking THC oil. i think the issue is having a trip and a panic attack at the same time. Its really fucking scary.
Dew's household, dad and childhood is very very simillar to mine, from the fear of eating too slow, having tight schedules and house rules to being relaxed when dad was out and thinking of mom as the cool one,and I too struggle with this type of anxiety, when Dr.K made that connection with hypervigillance it all made sense to me.

I came here from listening to you talk with Aba. Thank you for your work. I love your reasoning and how you help people.
God damn Dr K you're a legend but did you just say this guy is full of shit by using a fart in a bottle analogy? 😂😂😂

This was accidentally the video I was looking for we have very similar anxiety sources.
fuck man this session with Dr K is like looking in a mirror

This is why Cdew is rank 1

During the meditation they do, what do you do if you have a deviated septum? Does anyone know?
longstoryshortjuststopoverthinking
I would love to know what the "elite", or high risk high reward. technique is or at least the name of it so I can look into it myself.
Dr K. Make one about Maladaptive daydreaming.
I had to stop the video at 22:43.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX MYSELF.
IS MEDITATION enough to fix bad attachment, change how i respond to people, change my expectations?
I just can't do this anymore.
I love the intros to the upcoming conversation!!!

when he said “u have anxiety, i have anxiety, we all have anxiety” dood sounded like a yo gaba gaba guy
It’s interesting to me that the “bad trip” was something that seemed particularly concerning to Dr. K. I kind of wonder what that is about.
Doctor: Indian Jordan Peterson isn't real he can't hurt you….
Indian Jordan Peterson:
13:07 "Deep breaths for 15 minutes, BEFORE and after you wake up."
At 1:33:20 Dr. K asks if they have a deviated septum and I've never seen anyone answer yes. I have a deviated septum and I'm wondering if it makes this technique not work as well?
Just watching this thinking “Wait, pretty sure I didn’t talk to Dr. K”
More fart analogies please

Relatable and therefore super helpful story and solutions – Thanks!!
amazing conversations/content as always, thanks for all you do!
Cdew Poggers! and please talk to Kungen, he would like to have a chat with you.
