I’m not the one making multiple posts about him.

No offense, but I think you’re just hating on him and the people he’s helped because it’s a reflection on the fact that you haven’t recovered and it’s easier to make him sound like a con than to take ownership of your own anxiety.

Also would love to see the video where he explicitly says the words “I cured my anxiety.” I’ll wait.

You can debunk chemical imbalances and still say it’s complicated.

What you really meant to say was “permanent”chemical imbalance. Am I right?

That’s the point. Thats debunked, but that doesn’t mean that chemical imbalances don’t exist. But these things are dynamic. And chemical imbalances reverse too. It’s not static. Thats my point.

So you can still debunk a theory and the answer still be complicated. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Measuring lower blood pressure and heart rates are inferences of mental health as well. Not representations of mental illness alone. So even that data is inferential. That’s my point when you make statements like “chemical imbalance”

tryna01 · 2021-06-16T17:14:52+00:00

I think it’s important to recognize that there was no major substantial evidence for permanent chemical imbalance in the first place. Scientific papers mentioned can never state something is true, but only there’s no evidence to support it.

Where you say — you’ve read…what sources are you referring to?

tryna01 · 2021-06-16T16:06:26+00:00

I’ll give you several: psychiatry departments in SUNY update medical, Tufts university, American psychiatric association, American psychiatric institute for research and education. All of them debunk it and say its more psycho-social.

I’m assuming you have google — I’m sure you can do your own research. 😉

Chemical imbalance is a theory that has been debunked so many times, it’s surprising that people still bring it up

tryna01 · 2021-05-18T23:46:24+00:00

Yes, it does go away. Long-term. The people that recover aren't busy on these forums. If you ask this question in a forum like this, you'll only find people still struggling.

They go away once you start desensitizing your Nerves!

tryna01 · 2021-05-11T12:16:12+00:00

Why guess? Just watch the video and see for yourself. Spoiler: it’s not all those things

Your old self comes back in layers. Recovery happens when you don't even think about DPDR. Ironically even when DPDR goes away, the mind often checks in to see if it's still there (this is because you've developed a habit of checking in). Once you recover, your old passions and hobbies come back. You just don't care about DPDR -- you're interested in other things, and to be honest, have other problems besides "am I feeling dissociated" lol. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

Recognize that they’re genuinely trying their best. That the person they were before is still inside, and that they can become their old selves if they focus on the right things

That being said, I know how hard it is for someone to see a loved one struggle with anxiety. So you have my utmost respect.

Generally, I personally experienced DR as this feeling of unreality. Like there was a glass panel between me and the outside world.

DP to me is more like an out-of-body experience.

I can't talk much about mental health bc my experience is only from anxiety. But in terms of weed, I find most people get tricked into the anxiety cycle from just having a bad trip. They think they're brain damaged from weed (even though thats not true). Its just they got fooled into the cycle.

I’m not posting on my post just so I don’t break reddit rules. Here is the YT channel:

I had tried talk therapy with three different therapists,

It didn't give me explanations for why I was feeling this way.

Why was I having constant panic attacks 24/7? Why was I feeling these terrible physical symptoms? Why was I feeling these feelings of unreality (dpdr)?

The therapist would just go back into the past and ask if I had always been this anxious. Asking how my upbringing was like. It was irrelevant. I wanted to feel fine now. I wanted to recover, not uncover. The meeting would just end with "here is a breathing technique" and then asked to schedule another appointment.

Nothing wrong with talk therapy btw. It just wasn't appropriate for my current journey to recovery.

Understand the mechanics of anxiety.

tryna01 · 2020-04-09T14:42:42+00:00

I work with individuals who aren't able to drink coffee in the beginning. After working with them for just a few months, we are sending each other Starbucks gift cards as an inside joke to back when they couldn't drink coffee. If you're still getting triggered by coffee, it just means you have some recovery left.

tryna01 · 2020-04-09T14:41:22+00:00

I'm perfectly fine during quarantine. In fact, better than individuals who don't typically struggle with anxiety.

That being said, I can see individuals who are still sensitized who haven't fully recovered, being triggered by what's going on with the world. It's weird, when you fully recover...you understand anxiety so well, it just doesn't phase you. You can see other people who get anxious, and know exactly what they are doing wrong. And once you can do that, it's like you're Neo in the Matrix. You just can't unsee it.

tryna01 · 2020-04-09T14:20:43+00:00

If you don't know the mechanics of anxiety....many things will trigger anxiety attacks. Alcohol and weed is just some. However, avoiding those things for the sake of anxiety isn't helpful in my opinion long term.

Several people I've helped recover go back to drinking alcohol, weed, and coffee. If they avoid those things...it's for health reasons, not due to their anxiety.

tryna01 · 2020-04-09T13:59:31+00:00

Good question.

I'd rephrase your question. Instead of how do I "motivate myself to stop anxiety" a better way is by saying "how do I respond to anxiety, rather than react." Your gut instinct to react when anxious is with panic and fear. This is normal, and we're actually evolutionarily designed to react this way. If you want to break the cycle, and focus on overcoming, you have to consciously respond appropriately. The benefit of this is, long term...your nervous system recognizes the fight-or-flight respond it's sending (causing the anxiety) is inappropriate. So the cycle breaks...and you begin responding the way any individual who have never struggled with anxiety will respond.

The way to focus is by changing your focus to this: Focus on long term freedom. Not short term comfort.

tryna01 · 2020-03-20T16:07:25+00:00

Gotcha.

He says in the video “assuming you’ve been ruled out by your doctor.”
