People Try Sensory Deprivation Tanks For The First Time 

"I feel like a fucking walrus" same girl same

Who needs a chamber like this to start thinking about super deep and meaningful subjects, when you have a car without a radio?

It's dark though and you're in water and then you can't see whats with you.... I'd literally have a breakdown that sounds terrifying...

Am I the only that would have a panic attack on that??

and now I just sit in silence

just a little FYI , sensory deprivation for 2 hours is fine but longer than that say a day or a much longer period of time may cause panic attacks, mental breakdowns and it's actually a form of torture. Edit: i should mention I mean much longer than that. Like, for some it could be a few hours but others would break after days. Also once again, torture is against your will. I'm not talking about doing with willingly. I mean having people kidnapped you and force you or getting trapped and unable to get out.

As someone with OCD and 'bad thoughts' this sounds like the premise to the scariest horror movie ever.

I'd be scared to do this if that one guy was in charge of the place..

Crash seems like he spends *too* much time in the tub.

Saw the title, Thought these were like *torture tanks* used at concentration camps. Instead it's supposed to be a form of soothing _therapy_ . OK,then,When can I try?

Anyone seen this on GMM before? :D

" I feel like a fu**cking walrus " 😂

her curls POP yes yes yes yes YES

Somebody stole my car radio and now I just sit in silence

“We need lots of salt.” “How much salt?” “Csgo competitive amounts of salt.” “Oh damn”

I would have a panic attack if I was in one of these

Am I the only one who thinks Crash looks like he smells weird?

i have a lot of sensory sensitivities so this seems like heaven for me. no bright lights, no strong smells or loud sounds or pain from touching things... but knowing me i would probably smell all of that salt

Why does the black girl look like fiona from shrek in ogre form?

I didn't expect "I feel like a fucking walrus" hahahaha

we need salt. lots of it. how much is lots?

I did this last week. It's really relaxing and pleasant. Also my back pains were gone for a couple of days. I meditate almost every day so I'm used to being alone with my thoughts. Also at some places you have a light switch in those float tanks/rooms. I prefer the dark though.

Sometimes quiet is violent

What about the ringing in your ears. That would drive me crazy

I love what she said in the end about being alone with your thoughts. "that's life. you just gotta keep working on yourself". so many positive vibes from them:)

I am trying this out soon this month! Except they have relaxing light and music

I am 100% sure that I would have a panic attack if I stepped in that thing

It's ironic we are watching this on a screen while they are saying how amazing it was to be away from their screens :)

I love the black girl, she's so down to earth and kind of relaxing and reassuring to listen to.

okay so anxiety...and claustrophobia...and fear of losing my physical being....anxiety over being lost/separated.....sure I'd be great in there

This is the best stress relieving practice out there, I swear by it. Doesn't feel like you're closed in at all, feels like you're consciously sleeping, it's crazy

Crash is on a lot of drugs.

Dr. Walter Bishop making isolation tanks cool since 2008

im already getting anxiety just thinking about being in a room alone in the dark for 2 hours without anything to do. :(

Nothing beats Rhett and Link's sensory deprivation video.

I would do this, but I have a fear of complete darkness...

i find the thought of this terrifying yet extremely intriguing, i cant imagine what it would feel like to simply exist as thoughts and nothing else but the fact that there is a way to find out is truley fascinating to me

I've done this, I fell asleep and woke up to a cut in my head itching because salt had gotten into it. Good times.

cough cough Good Mythical Morning anyone?

Really want to try this, but I feel like I would probably fall asleep and miss the whole experience

Bruh I'd probably have a mental breakdown in there, it sounds like some kind of torture

anyone remember Homer and lisa simpson doing this

I have anxiety and the idea of doing this is the most unbelievably terrafying thing

11 where you at???

When I was around 9 I developed severe anxiety and was quite depressed. I remember crying telling my mum that I hated my thoughts and wished that they would go away. It was a horrible time in life and horrible considering how young I was. I could have really used this tbh

1:33 CREEP LEVEL 100000

Keep this comment with a peculiar amount of likes.

I feel that relaxed when I'm in a pool, or lake by myself. Close my eyes, ear plugs in =Total relaxation

I feel like I would enjoy this and totally relax if there was mood lighting. But completely black I would just freak out

I have depression and anxiety and this sounds fucking horrific

Being one whom has several mental illness including PTSD, watching this video seemed absolutely daunting, especially considering one of my favourite pastimes is studying the macabre & occult which includes forms of torture which sensory deprivation falls under. The thought of the panic attack that would occur from my anxiety just made me internally checked off this as a form of therapy, but after much consideration I found this to be something I actually want to give a try. I find meditation & contemplation extremely serene (that is without the intrusive thoughts) - there are moments when my paranoia get's so bad my skin feels like it is literally screaming because I want to make it stop. Everything: the sounds, the visuals. The concept of just floating & feeling so at peace with the universe, feeling everything & something seems so tranquil. Thank you, Buzzfeed, for giving me access to knowledge of a possible new coping mechanism. I will be discussing this with my psychiatrist & therapist on how to go about this

Is this the guy from GMM?

Episode 7: The Bathtub

I do this all the time. It is the most relaxing thing you could possibly do. Nothing in the world like . You feel like you are floating in space because the water temp is pretty close to your body temp, so you feel nothing is touching you. I do recommend the spa music or you end up hearing your heartbeat and thinking about random things the entire time.

it annoys me when buzzfeed says stuff like "for the first time" as if stuff like this is what everyone does on the regular

This video made me think of Tøp

my eyes tear up and i feel like i'm gonna panic, just at the thought of being left alone with my own thoughts...

WELL IM ADDING THIS TO MY BUCKET LIST

This is on my bucket list :)

"I've never been away from my phone for two hours". That is the saddest statement I have ever heard. unplug for a day. get your life back. Read a book. Play a board game. talk to people face to face.

I would imagine a shark under me and I would freak out.

"I feel like a fucking walrus" dead

I've been there 6 or 7 times already, returning before the end of the year! It's one of my favourit things to do in life.

What is that swaying clock-y thing in the background? I like it

I would totally do this. It sounds so relaxing. I never get to be in a room dark enough to sleep. My next door neighbor likes to keep his light on all night, enough to where I can see my hands in front of me. The dark is relaxing. The idea of floating amazes me, and to get lost in yourself.

"helps with pstd anxiety and stress" Oh yeah guys, just enjoy a few hours of sheer NOTHINGNESS and you'll be tip top in shape!

That clock slowly moving in the back was so relaxing

Man I LOVE Float Lab! I wish I could own one lol. Every year I try to go. Crash is totally chill and man I'm just in love with sensory deprivation chambers. Only 2 hours go by so quickly, I wish I could do 3 hours... still it's totally worth it if you're stressed out or so uptight. Perfect way to try something new.

I've never heard of this before but now I want to try it.

Is this the tank that 011 floated in ??

Honestly after watching stranger things I would never go in there for fear of seeing the fucking monster

Any Directioners here?🙋

The guy with the sunglasses was on something. Something I wanna be on

10 bucks says they just fell asleep

I feel like I'd get a panic attack if I went in one of these. But at the same time, I'd like to try this and see what happens.

So basically you're meditating in warm water?

3:58 and then it got really serious and deep and i could relate and was like "now, dont cry sweety..." xD

I really want to try this and have wanted to ever since Rhett and Link did it lol

The black girl's curls are everything and more❤️ #blackbeauty

I have anxiety, ptsd, stress, and adhd. I wouldn't last a minute in there.

my thoughts mess me tf up anyways.. this would be horrible. i guess physically it'd be nice but other than that idk

this gives me so much anxiety and I don't know why at all.

I read a fanfiction where Bucky Barnes had this done to him (along with worse things) to completely break who he was. To make him so utterly broken that Hydra could control, and transform everything so he could become The Winter Soldier.

Any video where that sweet young lady with the glasses is in is awesome! I love her personality! She seems like the kind of person who makes a really great friend. (I don't know her name, however). Anyway - everyone was great in the video as usual.

It sounds fun, but my horrible anxiety would make it a nightmare.

I have anxiety and I previously suffered from panic disorder and I got into a float pod. I think it's easier to ease into a float pod because you can choose when to turn off the lights or choose when to close the door. Never felt so relaxed and anxiety free in my life. I still had a little jumps and nervous spasms but as soon as I have them, I went back into zen pretty quickly. The more you do it the more your body will get more comfortable with the environment.

The look on the black girl's face while he's explaining this is priceless. She is adorable .

0:35 He kinda looks like Rhett when he went into one of these

Tried this today. Amazing.

You're thoughts are not you. I hate that she said your thoughts are you. Don't even think saying that to someone with ocd in the form of intrusive thoughts. One of the hardest things with ocd in the form of intrusive thoughts is to realize that those thoughts are just that which they are labeled, intrusive.

being in water in the dark is far too creepy for me. also the man who runs the place gave me MAJOR creep vibes, especially when saying they had to be naked, that he could tell if they weren't. NO THANKS IM OUT. this sounds terrible. also the water would block your ears and that one of my biggest pet peeves in life.

Where's the monster from the flip side though

That crash dude looks like such a nutter but also at the same time someone I wanna party with hahah

how is sitting in a dark and silent room while floating going to help anxiety? i can think of 238384 more ways that makes me anxious, ahh!

Imagine having a chill time in there and all the sudden something cold and slimy brushes your arm. Oh Fuq that 😂

Oh Brittany, of course you have been without going on your phone for more than 2 hours. It's called sleeping. :-)

At first I was like oh it's kinda cool but then I realized I would most likely start freaking out and have a panic attack

When people describe it, the only thing I could of is a legal way of hypnotising.

I have a feeling that this is what death is

Am it the only one that is terrified to do this becaue of car radio
