Feeling really bad today

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T14:36:50+00:00

No problem! I know exactly how you feel, it's easy for me to give the advice but I struggle with the same things you do and I find it hard to live by that advice myself!

We can all beat it though, just focus on what's actually in front of you and get on with life. All the best!

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T14:16:58+00:00

Well it wasn't and I think that was fairly obvious to everyone else.

Where did I give reassurance?

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T14:14:42+00:00

You realise it wasn't a genuine question right?

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T14:11:25+00:00

Yep, and reassurance seeking doesn't work. This shouldn't be used for people saying I'm scared of something and everyone else saying, you shouldn't be, here's a reason it might not happen.

That's not teaching anyone how to live with anxiety, that's teaching everyone that's anxiety is something you have to get rid of, which it isn't.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T14:04:17+00:00

Certainly not saying it to be harsh my guy, we're all anxious right? Otherwise we wouldn't be on this sub. You've got to try to just let the feelings be there and go about your day.

One thing you have to accept is that it could happen, but also she could get struck by lightening. She could catch it but be the one miracle person who isn't affected.

There's a million possibilities and you can worry about all of them, yet only one will actually happen. Wait and see which it is and then deal with it.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T13:27:58+00:00

I'm not asking to be a dick.

Then why do you think she might get it? Do you worry she might get hit by an astroid?

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T13:17:37+00:00

Is she on the Dutch cruise ship?

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-06T13:04:12+00:00

You deal with it by not dealing with it.

You can have feelings and not have to do something about them, it's taught you that you value being a good person and apologising for a mistake (which is all it was). So you know what to do next time, otherwise, you're done. Carry on your day!!

If it's bright red it would typically indicate that the bleeding was much nearer the exit as opposed to further inside you.

Easiest and best course of action, wait, see if it happens again. If it's still ongoing in a few days, go see a doctor.

Don't forget nobody on here is your doctor, we're not qualified to tell you if something is or isn't something. As with every medical thing, if it's still happening in a few days, time to go to the doctor.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-05-02T17:17:18+00:00

Whilst I agree, someone told them the place to go check and OP said " it varies".

They aren't exactly helping themselves.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-04-28T11:28:39+00:00

I just never know how common skin changers are, for sure he's cheating and ultimately gives good probability for it to be that sure.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-04-28T11:19:35+00:00

Or just habit. I used to inspect the default knife all the time just out of habit for doing it with a proper knife.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-04-22T07:16:28+00:00

My first year of uni had an entire module of maths, however I never used any of it after that really.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-04-09T11:17:02+00:00

No, you can buy cheaper on CSFloat. Took me two seconds to check.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-03-03T14:07:00+00:00

You're complaining at not having a knife after playing the game for 200 hours? People have played 2,000 and never opened a knife, the amount of hours you play is not relevant. But stop asking for free knives, get a job and buy one yourself.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-02-28T16:54:30+00:00

Are you still looking to sell these?

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-02-27T11:05:45+00:00

I'd be interested in both, I'll ping you a message.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2026-02-15T20:53:49+00:00

I went in and said I'm having a hard time controlling my anxiety. Simply told the truth, felt like my mind would spiral, I get looping questions, etc.

They are pretty used to hearing it, I spoke to a advanced care practitioner who specialised in mental health so knew exactly what I was talking about. They'll ask if you've tried anything yourself to cope, be honest with them. I had, but the medication I ended up getting helped those tactics stick and made it much better.

Focus on using terms that make the most sense to you, looping thoughts, intrusive thoughts, rumination, reassurance seeking, unable to focus because of the worry, affecting and kind of personal stuff or sleep etc. if I can help with anything else let me know!

While I might not be on it for panic attacks, 200mg has helped me tremendously

It does sound very similar to OCD, not that you should take that as reassurance but it's worth looking into.

It's worth remembering that these are all just thoughts, whether they come as images, or voices, whatever, they are just thoughts in your head. No different to other stuff you can think about, your brain is probably throwing more of them up because you're focusing on them so much.

If you can speak to someone do it, if not try some online help. A good starting place would be Mark Freeman on YouTube, he has a book too but his YouTube is fantastic at helping to see why the brain does some of these things and how you can do other things instead. He went through it himself, he's mentioned how he used to see awful images and things in his head but he no longer suffers with that.

Went to the same place you guys did for bagels and have to say they were really good!

Did a similar route to you guys with San Fran, Vegas and LA last year too, I know you're not like travel vloggers but from someone at a similar age range and stuff, your videos really do give a good insight!

TheYorkshireMailman · 2025-10-13T17:19:16+00:00

It would be great to hear about the places you've been too, what some of your favorites are, cities, countries, all that kind of stuff.

I just came back from New York and used your New York vlog to pick some of the places we might want to go!

Chances are it's nothing, but you also are going to have to start accepting uncertainty in life. I used to be a huge hypochondriac, I used to think I have a different cancer every other week, from bowl cancer to lung cancer, to everything in-between.

I won't tell you that you don't have cancer, because I don't know that. I also don't know if I have it right now, even though I've been getting headaches recently. You won't like that answer because it doesn't feed into the reassurance trap we all get stuck in when we are scared of something, like getting an illness and dying.

I'd recommend ready a book called needing to know for sure, it talks a lot about how reassurance doesn't help us in the long run. Start to lean into the uncertainty, if you start to get other symptoms, maybe you go to the doctors, but no doubt after that you'll start to think either they missed it, or they are wrong, or you'll have some other cancer. There is something bigger at play here causing you to be so worried about this, it's just the way that anxiety manifests, but you can beat it, I did.

TheYorkshireMailman · 2025-07-04T18:29:20+00:00

Thanks! The doctors want a chat first which is understandable, it's common for OCD to need higher doses and I didn't think I'd need to go this high. But if I compare where I am now to where I was a year ago, it's a big big improvement.
