Thanks Doc, 55 year old male here, who has struggled with both the beasts of anxiety/panic and addiction my whole life. Your videos are so reassuring to men like me who just feel lost and broken when acute bouts of panic and dread set in. Just knowing they’re other men out there who face a similar battle everyday is so comforting and encouraging to us lone wolf types who have hither hereto known only isolation and despair. Keep up the good work, you gave me hope to move forward for another day! 🙏
This video helps me see how my anxiety works. I'm not addicted to anything like alcohol or drugs...never interested me. However, I tend to buy things...shopping ...buying on Amazon even if its only a small object. Yes to feel better. I feel better whilst looking and pressing that button to buy something but that feeling quickly disappears. 😢 I only realised this a few months ago. When I looked round a noticed all the "stuff" I had purchased. I don't know how to stop this. I sit at home and get anxious as I don't know what to buy. I think about what I can buy such as clothes starting from head to toe....look around my home and think what I don't have that I can buy. I feel guilty and selfish for buying too.
I need help I wake up feeling not real and like my brain has pretty and just not well. So beyond depressed and I know alcohol has to do with it. I only drink on the weekends but I do binge. It’s the way I deal with the social aspect. I am so scared of my future. I don’t see myself getting better
Hi dr kennedy. I have a vital question. Have been doing meditation and finding the sensation for years. While great, I really believe it's a bypass. Underneath this sensation is the repressed emotions. These emotions are trying very hard to hide. Just feeling and bringing attention to the.bodily sensations is not enough in my experience. There needs to be a skilled way to reach the repressed anger and hurt. Can you speak to this? Would love to hear your feedback on this.
