Your little game in your 10 seconds might actually change my life. I lost my oldest son on my birthday right before his 21st birthday. Four months later my youngest son who was 8 was kidnapped by his dad during a visit and it took 5 years to get him back. I have such a hard time managing regret and grief and feeling like it's overwhelming me and it's going to make me literally lose my mind. I have to try to make myself think of something else but it's so hard to get out of my head. I can't even tell you how much this is going to help me. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤
My uncle and 2 year old cousin were killed when I was 12.. authorities stated it was a tragic, murder suicide. I had a dream that my 2 year old cousin visited me and a woman walked in. He freaked out and told me she shot him. And then my uncle visited his mom in a dream. She was upset with him because she was told he killed his son and then himself. He told her he didn’t do it. Then described the same lady in my dream saying she shot them. To this day I believe someone killed them and I’ve heard many stories like this that loved ones can come to us in our dreams.
I learned from a therapist when you’re spiraling about things you can’t control…name 5 things you know are absolutely true. Not what you think…just physically and tangibly true. It’s helped me so much.
Thank you so much for the game/exercise. My dad,who was my best friend/my person, passed on 3/7 and I’ve been struggling. After doing it I felt calmer than I have since. 💜
Here's my theory. Mary figured out what happened but assumed she wouldn't be taken seriously as an amateur detective. So she created a ghost story to explain what she found. 😅
Hi Payton! Just wanted to say thank you for this week’s ten seconds. I also struggle with bad anxiety and feel like I’ve become more prone to panic attacks ever since experiencing my true first one that ended with me in the hospital. The mental gymnastics of trying to stop the spiral is exhausting so thank you for this tip 🙏 Love your solo channel and MWMH! You and Garrett always brighten my day ☀️
i struggle with (usually disturbing) intrusive thoughts when i'm trying to sleep (probably no thanks to the years of consuming true crime content LOL) but i'm definitely going to try your trick from the beginning of the video!! thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, Payton. This morning, I wrote down the little anxiety release exercise. I have not needed anything like this for awhile. Fast forward to 10 min. ago, I was spiraling fast. Even now, I am a thought away from new tears. I tried the exercise and as I counted I went from pit of stomach doom, to angry that I had to do the exercises to feel better, then sobbing, to a deep breath as I almost finished. It was so interesting to see how a little time and focus can create calm in the end. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this exercise and encouraging thoughts on mental health. So important for so many. Now, I'm going to jump into a movie and forget about life!
Thank you so much for sharing that grounding exercise. I have a lot of anxiety and a little PTSD so i tend to spiral into thought. Especially when I'm trying to go to sleep. This is a super interesting story! Love it!
I am a student in Kenya. My boyfriend and I LOOVE this podcast. Obsessed in fact. We have a MWMH printed picture on our wall!! He always subscribes from his friends' RU-vid given the chance. Keep going😊❤️
I was supposed to fly out to Nairobi Kenya this morning! Unfortunately I didn't know I needed a visitor visa. Applied for one and hopefully get to fly out in morning otherwise I'll have to cancel my vacation! 😭
It's a grounding exercise. It's amazing for anxiety and panic attacks. identifying 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste
@@daydaymfc5592 as someone who uses it, it really does work. It brings your mind back to the present and away from whatever your mind is hyper focusing on!
Wow I would love a new coping skill per episode. I'm not exaggerating that could be a new thing. That was incredibly helpful and I really appreciate it.❤
I haven’t even listen yet but I’m so excited!! I’m from West Virginia and love hearing stories on big platforms that I’ve heard and told my whole life! Thank you for thinking of us small towns too!
I always say you and Garrett are the best. Thank you for caring enough about your audience to be open and sharing your hack to help calm down. Your cast shows how important mental health/maturity is. 😉Good lookin' out.
I forgot about this story. It was so enjoyable to be reminded of it and listen to you tell it. I hope you do more stories like this one or more with a supernatural angle. Can’t wait for the next episode! I’ve spent the past few weeks bingeing most of Oh No Media’s content. 😊 Also: thanks for the game! I’m going to try that next time I feel overwhelmed.
omg thank you so much:’) i have never related to what you have said more OMG like more than a therapist or any psychiatrist. I always go down a road of one thought it starts from and i feel myself . This is something that will for awhile distract my head to the point i will forget of that thought i was overthinking about. A lot of things like meditation don’t help because my mind is racing too much like you said not speaking english. Thank you for your method never heard of it but literally helps stop my head from thinking
Love your 10 seconds!! I try things with the alphabet or the rainbow. Try to find something in the room that starts with every letter of the alphabet or something that is every color of the rainbow.
I wonder if everything Zona’s mom had seen leading up to and during the funeral subconsciously influenced her to have the dream and put the pieces together herself?
Therapist actually recommend to focus on 5 objects in your line of eye sight during a panic attack until the attack is gone....just like the game you play. You must've heard that from somewhere.
Once cared for a dying pt who lived with a blood pressure of 60s over 30s dropping to 30s over teens for nearly 48 hours. All I could think of is how afraid she must be of what’s on the other side. 😢
You say Mirror like I do "Merr" Has anyone else pointed that out to you like I get constantly? lol Several words I say differntly Breakfast/bref-as, Oil/all, Iron/arhn, Syrup/sir-ub, Salmon/saL-man, Mayonnaise/man-azeman-aze...I could go on and on lol
If you are thought spiraling the best thing to do is *get out of your head* We CANNOT think our way out of anxiety . So find a somatic practice that works : grounding, orienting, centering, breath work, progressive muscle relax etc. ❤ I can share more if anyone’s interested- I’ve been a therapist for 16 years and am happy to help anyone that wants some support!
I would really appreciate a few extra tips. I just posted a comment, and I've copied and pasted it here so I don't have to retype the whole thing and have to think about it all again.

Love the videos. They could do without the stock photos and videos which are irrelevant and irritating in all RU-vid vlogs. What are the headphones for?
I always love how you do your hair and nails on the podcast you look chic and presentable, love how you alwyss have a quilt on your lap its again stylish, but i always have an issue with your tops your inspa posts are alwys in attractive clothes... Why do you wear garret's?
Death is a really big trigger for you?? I love both your channels but I'm not sure you should continue this content if you yourself are triggered by the content 😅
