My younger brother passed on in 2018 when he was 16. You were his favorite ASMR channel. He just adored your videos and creativity. Tonight is the first time I’ve been able to watch one of your vids since his passing. Cool to know you are still helping relax people
Then go to Jesus my friend. I met him on 09/16/22 and he changed everything. I struggled with panic attacks, anxiety, fear, and many other emotions. Those still persist but they don’t control me anymore. If I could have you do a single thing: Open a Bible, preferably physical but a phone works, and read the Gospel of John. That’s it. If you truly seek the Lord you will find him, I know this because I was searching and I did find him. The shift in mentality is drastic, and it’s nothing I could even attempt to fake. The warmth of the Holy Spirit is real :D
I suffer from PTSD and your videos have always kept my head above water when it hits. Thank you so much for the years of calming. I’m truly so grateful.
I have to say the timing is impeccable, I’ve been going through alot in the last month and I have to say confidently, this is the worst period of my life so far. This video is just what I needed, thank you ephemeral rift, you always know best :) ❤️
I gotta say, I feel you both because same here and I hope E's latest vid can give me some peace for the next little while, as hes done before with his content. Best of luck to you both aswell, better days hopefully coming very soon👍
Last year I was going through a really rough patch, and I remember watching your videos to calm myself down and sleep, you might not know me, but to me, you are no less than a saviour. Thank you ER, from the bottom of my heart 🤍
going through a rough patch right now and currently been coming back to ER and frivolous fox’s videos to calm me down and make me feel better. hope you’re doing well now❤
ER just seems like such a real person. I would have coffee with him and be able to talk about anything and I feel like he would just give some of the best advice. He's like a wise uncle that you can go to him with any issue and he can help. I would trust this man with my life fr
Just stupid stress at the workplace brings me here. Shouldn’t even be stress, but it’s in my nature to make it stressful. Get too caught up in the little crap I shouldn’t worry about. Those are my trials I need to conquer. We’re all a work in progress! Always need to hear those wise words from time to time.
You’ll be at a point eventually where your brain won’t only not entertain these thoughts, it’ll probably find them humorous by the time you’re back on your two feet. We’re humans, we can be UP or way down, if we didn’t have that, where would our strive and ambition to BE and DO go? Responsibility = key to meaning😊
@@mikey_clarkI hear you loud and clear! A lot has happened in the last 7 months. I recently became a home owner, and now I officially don’t care what anyone thinks of me at my job. I took a higher position at my job, but I’m handling the stupidity of it all fairly well. However I’m losing work life balance, so I’m making a change quickly. Thanks again for the words of encouragement. Best part of time and aging is you slowly stop caring about stuff like this lol.
I feel like this too!! Work stress always brings me to this point, ruminating over something that hasn't happened, or has and wasn't the end of the world. Super hard place to pull yourself out from
My anxiety has been going crazy lately for whatever reason (ruminating about the past/ making up ‘what if’ situations in my head that end up freaking me out) and this video was very much needed . Seriously, thank you so much
same here guys. i've been dealing with horrible anxiety and every little thing i feel in my body i assume it's some fatal disease, and looking up symptoms on google only made it worse. i deleted it so i have no way to look up my symptoms, hopefully it helps. the symptoms aren't even serious, i just scare myself so much. you're gonna be alright and hopefully i will be too ❤️
@@ElRiki77 I feel for you too my anxiety has never been this bad before, I've been off my medication for a while because I thought it was getting better but out of nowhere it got worse, all we can do is surround ourself with people that care and just keep our heads up we will make it❤️❤️
I broke up with my partner last month and have struggled with overthinking at night because of this. The second you started tapping at that cone though, my mind quieted. Mr. Rift, thank you so much for helping me get some sleep for countless nights. I appreciate this channel so much.
ER…for years you have helped me sleep, chill, meditate…but I’ve never had so much help as when you said “smooth sailing does not a sailor make” I really needed that. I appreciate you so much.
I felt a panic attack slowly building up and my thoughts were festering. I pulled up this video, forced myself to watch it, and it helped me pull through. Thank you Rift for all that you are and how much you help others.
It's nice to see one of these videos again. Your videos where you do asmr and talk about anxiety and depression always have had an effect on me. Thank you
Thank you Lord rift, my little bean brain has been filled with more stress than there is protein in my little round body, this video has helped me go through the night, feeling safe in my own can, keep up the good work! Bean out, and remember, beans are friends, not food 👍
Over 2 years watching your channel. I’m transitioning into an adult. You’ve lived longer than me. I’m worried about letting go of the past. I’m deleting twitter and Instagram accounts for what ever reason just because I am filled with unnecessary hate towards some things. My mom always sends me inspirational videos on Instagram everyday, which is the only good part about the app so far. It’s just that the things on those accounts are some people I’ve met in the past. I will keep RUclips so I can listen to you. School is difficult, i now have trust issues. Everything I do on this rock sphere, nobody will know my name in future generations. When I’m dead and forgotten, what will be the point of it all? Will getting good grades so I can get a good job, only for money which helps my future family satisfy me? I go to a Catholic School. I just, am lost. It’s late I need sleep. That’s why I’m here thank you Ephemeral Rift.
You can get a job to get by OR a career in something you like to do like fixing computers or tinkering with cellphones and electronics and stuff like that. And you don’t HAVE to pay for/have/raise a family right away or at all if you don’t want to.
I don't know if you are looking for advice or want any. But I will say you have to find your own meaning in life. Who cares if anyone remembers you? If that is what you want you can always strive for fame. But all that really matters is what YOU want from this life you are given. Look for things, explore things, venture into the deepest parts of the internet finding that which you care about and grasp onto it and enjoy it! Life does suck. But it seems like fewer people acknowledge that life is actually really fun too! I relate to you a lot from what you said. And I feel you. And I also know that it's okay to be lost. I hope you find something that reignites that spark in your soul to find your own meaning in life. There is so much out there in the world.
there are many meanings to life, you have to live for you. find a job that echos your hobbies and interests, do things you enjoy as much as you can. I was scared to grow up too, but it’s not so bad being a grown up. life is what you make of it
is being remembered really that important? Just live in a way you can be proud of. How do you do that? Work hard. It doesn't matter what it is that you work hard at, (although something like training your mind/body would be the most beneficial) because in the end you'll be proud of yourself . Why? because that's how humans work. Also, whats the point of worrying about your future family when your kids will be doing just as much worrying as you, hah. Hope you had an incredible sleep, one month ago. Also, if you go to a catholic school, and you're a believer, wouldn't living for God be enough?
@@_BlackYoshi yeah I wrote when I was stressed, that’s all. I believe God is good, I was just being weird. Being remembered isn’t important when there is a higher power that cares about me, and when I realized that, I became happy. Funny how that works.
Woke up at 3am out of nowhere, started to feel anxious and was actually about to put the video similar to this from years ago on when I saw this. Thanks again for helping with my anxious, worried and ruminating mind friend
It’s been 5 years. I have been listening to that video every single night for the past 5 years. I thank you for speaking the way you do making me feel comfortable and safe. I finally feel like i can say i’m doing okay. There’s no words to describe my thankfulness to you for helping me the way you truly have done. And thank you for giving me a new view on life in the way of taking things as they come and don’t worry as much as i should, and to not think as deeply as i used to do. I only wish i could tip you or something to give back to you all that you gave me. Anyways, thank you, internetdad❤️
Oh my goodness. Thank you for this, seriously. My anxiety is high since there's a hurricane headed towards my state right now. Not only that but I lost a close family member 2 months ago. Stress has been through the roof and I can't get through a night without waking up. You're a legend.
The notification of this video just took me out of an anxiety spiral I was going down rapidly and watching it has completely calmed me down again to the point I think I will be able to sleep without any medication. Impeccable timing and fantastic work, I cannot thank you enough :)
i remember finding your channel when i was 15, i’m 20 now and you have pulled me out of a few overwhelming scary anxiety attacks that cause my heart to quite literally beat rapidly out of my chest. mad respect for what you do, you’ve created such a safe space filled with comfort. sending a big virtual hug🫶
Hey Uncle E, I've been dealing with generalized anxiety disorder and health anxiety for almost a year now and I find myself using this video quite a bit to help me sleep. You've been a big help to many of us, and you are a master class at calming us down and keeping us grounded. Thank you for your years of support, and I wish you and your family much love ❤️
I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, and behaviour problems (since high school back in 2014 to 2015), that's why I got rid of my serious problems because of your video when I listened and tuned down my behaviour.
I've been really tense and stressed out for the past few weeks for... no good reason, really... so I keep coming back to these videos to help me relax, even if it's just in the background. Thanks a lot for posting these, they may not be a miracle cure for anxiety but they do help me relax...
So many times I have come to ephemeral riff at an ungodly hour and he has done what he does best: luring me into a state of bliss. Thank you ER you really are a national treasure.
Not too long ago I have had an almost traumatizing feeling. Not that there was a direct cause or anything, but my anxiety levels were through the roof. Thank you Uncle E for the perfect timing of this video. I hope you are doing splentastic.
I thought "ASMR for anxious worrying and ruminating minds" was the best video to help me calm down, but I think ER is doing even better. thank you for helping me.
Thank you for this, just to see you taking your time to care about other’s problems is priceless, and if anyone reading this feels down for whatever reason, be sure to know everything will get better, you deserve the best, so don’t give up!
Thanks for this. My OCD has been running the show lately, and I need a mindful minute (or hour) and really appreciate you creating a space and time to just exist and try to relax and break this routine Im stuck in
As someone with Tourretic OCD I feel that lol. Way too easy to just get caught in a mental rut and it's just about impossible to escape without slowing down.
This videos predecessor is my favorite video of yours, and has helped me relax more times that I can tell you. Was beyond excited to see the title, and the familiar background.
Congratulations on not drinking! Last September I also had to give up alcohol for good! I really enjoyed this video. Your words of wisdom really hit home tonight! I really needed this! Big love to you!! ♥️
I need nothing more right now. Thank you so much for keeping it fun and light while giving us actual freedom from stress, you may never know how much you’ve helped us through some of the hardest things we’ve ever had to go through.
I've been going through the hardest point of my life and my future is looking like more rough roads, but ER's videos give me just a little respite from it all. I hope the rest of you are doing well, and for those like me that aren't, I wish for you to know that this too shall pass and you'll work something out. Take care of yourself ❤️
@@Aletheia-Media Sometimes it is that way. Without finishing something, even if that thing will go by, the feelings are left behind. I wish you the best in resolving what is on your mind
Hello Ephemeral Rift, I've been seing you on and off for more than 6 years now and I realized that I've never left any message here, I just wanted to say thank you for this, yesterday was a miserable day having my anxiety levels over the roof for most of it, and listening to this as I got home helped so much I cannot thank you enough. It has been a rough time at work and the ASMR content you do is really priceless even if sometimes a bit weird, but nonetheless, thank you so very much again.
This video is so therapeutic. Your messages really resonate with me. Thanks for being so vulnerable about your own anxieties. Appreciate everything you do ✌️🫶
Also I'm about to begin the process of moving out for the first time at age 26, and I'm...at a loss for words. Thank You, for being all too kind, for sharing your human compassion with us.
Thank you for this video. It really helped my feel like I could get away my my anxiety for a little while. I have really bad anxiety attacks from time to time, and my girlfriend get really concerned about me when they happen. I love her, and I want to do the best I can to make sure that she knows I'm safe but sometimes I can't do anything at all. I watched this video and thought, "oh wow, I could get away from my anxiety for a little bit" and when I told her she said "I am so happy that you found something to help your anxiety!" and then she gave me a kiss.
This is going to sound odd, especially since I'm commenting this late after you'd posted this, but watching through this felt like a conversation with my father. I don't see him often at all anymore, and listening to you talk me through my problems felt like I was sitting down with him as a kid again and talking away my worries. You helped me a lot, thank you.
I really can’t tell you how many time this video has helped me since it was released. I deal with cripplingly bad anxiety and had used your previous anxiety centered video as a way to deal with it, and the same had been true for this video. I’m Grateful for the fact you have given me the opportunity to use this video as a median for my coping and recovery from anxiety in my life, so thank you.
Just lost my job and wanted to say thank you for making this video. Haven’t been having a good day and feeling a lot of anxiety and stress over it. But this video sure helped me to feel better and get some sleep. You were the beginning of my ASMR journey a few years back. Thank you for what you do brother. #tonewbeginnings #cheers
I'm just too worried about the future and everything, that thing made me depressed and having some disturbing intrusive thoughts. I want to write it down but feel that I can't. This video helped, thanks a lot. Ur channel is a blessing from God 😭😭😭 Wish you all here happiness and joy in life ♥️♥️ I love u all
I started watching years ago just to help with my tinnitus when I was trying to sleep and I couldn’t have imagined how much your content would help me, thank you
Just the pep talk and comfort I need for my worried and troubled mind. I watch your videos when I need to steal my nervousness. Thank you for the many years of calming the storms, welcoming a cool soothing breeze and refreshing resolve. A little wind in my sails and clear skies will help me helm my own ship safely to the next harbor.
Thank you Sir. I needed this all of a sudden my life turned upside down because of all the issues I been crying my eyes out even though I am living my life without bothering anyone I've been dragged into an issue that has nothing do with me with the people I have never met in my life.
i love when Paul goes full circle with the videos and then goes back to like a regular/usual asmr video like this. this is why I appreciate Paul so much since he's creativity is like on another level but just as simple as a video for anxiety or to help sleep is still the best!(all I'm missing is more ear to ear whispering videos with a mic that you can hear kinda hear white noise.)
I was literally laying here, on my bed, balling my teenage eyes out till they fell out of my sockets. Then i saw this and passed out after watching it. Thank you.
This is actually great timing. I've been really stressing about an upcoming presentation and thought I should watch asmr to calm down, and voila! Thanks ER
Rift reads minds I tell ya 😮. I have been needing these anxiety ASMR videos right now more than anything, was watching the older one, needing more to help get through this time in my life, and then BAM! Masterful timing 🤌 thank you again!
I always come back to this video. Thank you for the countless nights of good rest. I’ve been watching your channel for years now and it’s one of the only ways that I could get to sleep during the worst times of my life. You truly are like an uncle to us; thank you ER.
The old video in this setting is one I go to often when I feel overwhelmed. I will say I pretty much have it memorized by now so this new video is very much appreciated!
I really needed this. I am taking my licensing exam for the second time next Thursday and my anxiety has been so bad! Definitely needed something to recenter myself and trust myself. Thank you 😭😭
I still watch that video he tagged in the description when I'm feeling overwhelmed. It helps tremendously when anxiety hits a peak. Now that there is a part 2 (more or less 😅) I don't think I'll ever be stressed again
I’ve recently stopped 🍃 and had some very intense anxiety and sleepless nights. This helps me soooooo much and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making content like this. You’re a comforting figure in my life right now when I need one the most.
Been watching you for almost 3 years I still suffer from panics and trouble sleeping but watching your vids has honestly helped me so much and has been almost like my safe space when I sleep
All of these years.. thank you rift, you’ve become a guiding force in my life when Id find myself lost the most. You and your wonderfully creative mind. ❤
Forgot to take my anxiety medication for 2 days in a row 1 day before I know I have to go into an area where I will surrounded by people I don’t know for hours. I messed up big time but these videos help me so much. My stomach pain, chest pain, and headaches from anxiety get so overwhelming but ASMR for some reason can cure all of them. I’m so stressed I can’t even sleep. But luckily ASMR also helps with that lol!
Contacts on your sobriety, ER!! I’m three months sober myself and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. I tried and failed to quit for many years but I finally got the hang of being without it. Congrats and keep up the amazing work!
I was having a brutal anxiety attack shortly after I woke up, and within 5 minutes of watching this video, not only has my anxiety subsided, but I feel even calmer than I did before the attack. I don't fully understand ASMR or how it works, but I am very thankful for you and this video. Keep up the great work, and thank you ♥️
Honestly.. I don't get tingles much anymore. It's like chasing that adrenaline high.. but ER never fails to relax and interest me. That is invaluable and it is a crime this man only has a million subbies.
I just wanna say thank you Rift, this was my first time watching. I gave myself a really bad anxiety and panic and this really helps me a lot. Thank you, I had tears because I feel such a difference, I’ll still have anxiety here and there but overall this helps me. I hope this works for you guys it won’t cure it but it will help ease and relieve those symptoms. It’ll all be okay you guys. Love you all, you’re not alone ❤️
I feel like the timing of this was perfect for everyone here. The day he dropped this was the worst of my life so far. Thanks papa rift for knowin just what we need
I swear this guy is an other lvl of asmr! I LOVE this videos so much! THANK YOU A LOT! ❤️ And I wish you a great time and a good time with good people ✨
I am so grateful that you made this. I rewatch the first version of this quite often and actually was going to watch it last night, but instead I fell asleep to another one of your videos. Now I'm laying here with insomnia, woke up and can't get back to sleep, so it's really nice to have your company so my mind doesn't start winding up and overthinking 💖💖
I’ve been pretty sick and in and out of the hospital for what seems like a problem that doesn’t exist physically and I don’t have any medication or anything for anxiety so this video is the only thing that can get me to sleep at night. Rift has been an absolute miracle thank you so much
I lived with CPTSD for most of my adult life, so not a complete stranger to anxiety and worrying. It's all included with that wonderful package deal. But ASMR helps reducing the anxiety and !kop thinking to a point where I can fall asleep. So thank you for making these videos and having the patience to record it again when the previous file got corrupted.
I'm a collage student so yeah worry, depression is a regular thing in my life. But I'm always thinkin like someday it's gonna go away permanently . But uncle E really made me realize that its never gonna actually go away. So rather than bit@hing about it I need to be thankful about what I have and always try to improve cause theres always someone who's going through worse. So thank you sir and I wish you nothing but happiness.
Thanks, Ephem. I woke up really anxious about something going on in my life, decided to write in my journal and listen to your video. I definitely feel calmer.
I am currently going through anxiety as alots of things are happening , leading to big changes in my life causing me to worry. However, I find this ASMR channel incredibly helpful as it discusses anxiety in a way that resonates with me. I have never come across a channel that addresses anxiety so effectively.
I've been watching this man since 2012 and I'm 19 now I'm stressed about life and I'm scared to enter the adult hood for the rest of my life and so many times I've gone through anxiety and the second I tap a video on this channel within 10 seconds I'm already calmed and my eye lids get heavy really fast and instead of drinking I litsen to this.❤️ Tysm ER for helping me with lively issues :) I will forever remember - Your Dearest Viewer🖤🤍
My younger brother passed on in 2018 when he was 16. You were his favorite ASMR channel. He just adored your videos and creativity. Tonight is the first time I’ve been able to watch one of your vids since his passing. Cool to know you are still helping relax people
rest in peace to your brother. i hope you are in a better mental space now. ❤
This is beautiful and tragically sad. I’m so sorry for your loss, he will always be with you through things like this ❤
Sorry Bout dat cuh
RIP to your brother ❤
I hope your brother is happy up in the skies.🙂
This really is the pinnacle of ASMR content... get this man an award already
An Oscar? Maybe the first ASMR award?
100% agree
Agree !
Get em an emmy

You can get a job to get by OR a career in something you like to do like fixing computers or tinkering with cellphones and electronics and stuff like that. And you don’t HAVE to pay for/have/raise a family right away or at all if you don’t want to.

Why? because that's how humans work. Also, whats the point of worrying about your future family when your kids will be doing just as much worrying as you, hah. Hope you had an incredible sleep, one month ago.
Also, if you go to a catholic school, and you're a believer, wouldn't living for God be enough?
@@_BlackYoshi yeah I wrote when I was stressed, that’s all. I believe God is good, I was just being weird. Being remembered isn’t important when there is a higher power that cares about me, and when I realized that, I became happy. Funny how that works.
Woke up at 3am out of nowhere, started to feel anxious and was actually about to put the video similar to this from years ago on when I saw this. Thanks again for helping with my anxious, worried and ruminating mind friend
It’s been 5 years. I have been listening to that video every single night for the past 5 years. I thank you for speaking the way you do making me feel comfortable and safe. I finally feel like i can say i’m doing okay. There’s no words to describe my thankfulness to you for helping me the way you truly have done. And thank you for giving me a new view on life in the way of taking things as they come and don’t worry as much as i should, and to not think as deeply as i used to do. I only wish i could tip you or something to give back to you all that you gave me. Anyways, thank you, internetdad❤️
Oh my goodness. Thank you for this, seriously. My anxiety is high since there's a hurricane headed towards my state right now. Not only that but I lost a close family member 2 months ago. Stress has been through the roof and I can't get through a night without waking up. You're a legend.
How come this man always knows exactly what I need? Timing can't be more perfect 🥺
I have anxiety and depression. I'm working at it every day💗 Thank you for this video💗
I feel you Sarah. Hope you doing well the next time Period. Sorry for my Bad english, i am Not a native speaker...
@@mariooikalyptusbonbon8236 Thank you! I hope you're doing good.
@@sarahvihovde i try to, but it isn't easy lately...
@@mariooikalyptusbonbon8236 I get that. We're all in this together😊
@@sarahvihovde i know. It's sad that everyone demands you to Work and function Like a little cog in the big machine...
The notification of this video just took me out of an anxiety spiral I was going down rapidly and watching it has completely calmed me down again to the point I think I will be able to sleep without any medication.
Impeccable timing and fantastic work, I cannot thank you enough :)
Same ♥️🙏🏻🙋♀️
Been struggling with stress and anxiety from family matters, this helped so much!
i remember finding your channel when i was 15, i’m 20 now and you have pulled me out of a few overwhelming scary anxiety attacks that cause my heart to quite literally beat rapidly out of my chest. mad respect for what you do, you’ve created such a safe space filled with comfort. sending a big virtual hug🫶
I still keep coming back to this video, it's absolutely perfect. Thank you, ER!
Hey Uncle E,
I've been dealing with generalized anxiety disorder and health anxiety for almost a year now and I find myself using this video quite a bit to help me sleep. You've been a big help to many of us, and you are a master class at calming us down and keeping us grounded. Thank you for your years of support, and I wish you and your family much love ❤️
I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, and behaviour problems (since high school back in 2014 to 2015), that's why I got rid of my serious problems because of your video when I listened and tuned down my behaviour.
I have had the worst anxiety of my life the past few weeks and since this has been uploaded I have watched it like 4 times thank you
I've been really tense and stressed out for the past few weeks for... no good reason, really... so I keep coming back to these videos to help me relax, even if it's just in the background. Thanks a lot for posting these, they may not be a miracle cure for anxiety but they do help me relax...
So many times I have come to ephemeral riff at an ungodly hour and he has done what he does best: luring me into a state of bliss. Thank you ER you really are a national treasure.
Such a fitting acronym for Rift, ER: Emergency Rest
Not too long ago I have had an almost traumatizing feeling. Not that there was a direct cause or anything, but my anxiety levels were through the roof. Thank you Uncle E for the perfect timing of this video. I hope you are doing splentastic.
ASMR aside, the entire being of this man gives off a kind of safe feeling, like he has some sort of a calming aura that can be felt through a screen
I thought "ASMR for anxious worrying and ruminating minds" was the best video to help me calm down, but I think ER is doing even better. thank you for helping me.
Thank you for this, just to see you taking your time to care about other’s problems is priceless, and if anyone reading this feels down for whatever reason, be sure to know everything will get better, you deserve the best, so don’t give up!
As a native of the Philadelphia suburbs as well, I hope to meet this man someday and express my gratitude.
Had a minor panic attack last night and couldn’t find any asmr content to calm me enough to sleep. Until I found this. ❤❤❤ Thank you
This really helps. I often get anxiety and panic attacks already due to my depression etc. This really calms me down and brings me back to reality.
Thanks for this. My OCD has been running the show lately, and I need a mindful minute (or hour) and really appreciate you creating a space and time to just exist and try to relax and break this routine Im stuck in
As someone with Tourretic OCD I feel that lol. Way too easy to just get caught in a mental rut and it's just about impossible to escape without slowing down.
Take care my little deer. ♥️🙏🏻🙋♀️
I'm 4 days into paranoid mania and this helped calm me down so much. Thank you
This videos predecessor is my favorite video of yours, and has helped me relax more times that I can tell you. Was beyond excited to see the title, and the familiar background.
Congratulations on not drinking! Last September I also had to give up alcohol for good! I really enjoyed this video. Your words of wisdom really hit home tonight! I really needed this! Big love to you!! ♥️
I need nothing more right now. Thank you so much for keeping it fun and light while giving us actual freedom from stress, you may never know how much you’ve helped us through some of the hardest things we’ve ever had to go through.
Yesterday I was like super anxious and couldn't sleep, this video helped me a lot, thank you very much.
I've been going through the hardest point of my life and my future is looking like more rough roads, but ER's videos give me just a little respite from it all. I hope the rest of you are doing well, and for those like me that aren't, I wish for you to know that this too shall pass and you'll work something out. Take care of yourself ❤️
@@Aletheia-Media Sometimes it is that way. Without finishing something, even if that thing will go by, the feelings are left behind. I wish you the best in resolving what is on your mind
Hello Ephemeral Rift, I've been seing you on and off for more than 6 years now and I realized that I've never left any message here, I just wanted to say thank you for this, yesterday was a miserable day having my anxiety levels over the roof for most of it, and listening to this as I got home helped so much I cannot thank you enough. It has been a rough time at work and the ASMR content you do is really priceless even if sometimes a bit weird, but nonetheless, thank you so very much again.
Haha no worries even if you never left a comment! But you did so thx and wish you all the best!
Don’t even have anxiety right now but these video series are very relaxing. SLEEP TIME!
This video is so therapeutic. Your messages really resonate with me. Thanks for being so vulnerable about your own anxieties. Appreciate everything you do ✌️🫶
Paul you're an expert, at relaxation, and being a good person. Your family is blessed to have you, and so are we!
Also I'm about to begin the process of moving out for the first time at age 26, and I'm...at a loss for words. Thank You, for being all too kind, for sharing your human compassion with us.
Thank you for this video. It really helped my feel like I could get away my my anxiety for a little while. I have really bad anxiety attacks from time to time, and my girlfriend get really concerned about me when they happen. I love her, and I want to do the best I can to make sure that she knows I'm safe but sometimes I can't do anything at all. I watched this video and thought, "oh wow, I could get away from my anxiety for a little bit" and when I told her she said "I am so happy that you found something to help your anxiety!" and then she gave me a kiss.
This is going to sound odd, especially since I'm commenting this late after you'd posted this, but watching through this felt like a conversation with my father. I don't see him often at all anymore, and listening to you talk me through my problems felt like I was sitting down with him as a kid again and talking away my worries. You helped me a lot, thank you.
This just helped pull me out of a really uncomfortable panic attack. I love how honest and real these talks on anxiety are
always immensely appreciate these anxiety/stress asmr videos, i rewatch them sometimes and having a new one to mix it up is just what i needed
I really can’t tell you how many time this video has helped me since it was released. I deal with cripplingly bad anxiety and had used your previous anxiety centered video as a way to deal with it, and the same had been true for this video.
I’m
Grateful for the fact you have given me the opportunity to use this video as a median for my coping and recovery from anxiety in my life, so thank you.
Just lost my job and wanted to say thank you for making this video. Haven’t been having a good day and feeling a lot of anxiety and stress over it. But this video sure helped me to feel better and get some sleep. You were the beginning of my ASMR journey a few years back. Thank you for what you do brother. #tonewbeginnings #cheers
I'm just too worried about the future and everything, that thing made me depressed and having some disturbing intrusive thoughts. I want to write it down but feel that I can't. This video helped, thanks a lot. Ur channel is a blessing from God 😭😭😭
Wish you all here happiness and joy in life ♥️♥️ I love u all
I started watching years ago just to help with my tinnitus when I was trying to sleep and I couldn’t have imagined how much your content would help me, thank you
Just the pep talk and comfort I need for my worried and troubled mind. I watch your videos when I need to steal my nervousness. Thank you for the many years of calming the storms, welcoming a cool soothing breeze and refreshing resolve. A little wind in my sails and clear skies will help me helm my own ship safely to the next harbor.
Thank you Sir. I needed this all of a sudden my life turned upside down because of all the issues I been crying my eyes out even though I am living my life without bothering anyone I've been dragged into an issue that has nothing do with me with the people I have never met in my life.
Yen ayito?
the original video was so ahead of its time and soothing 🥺 thank u for revisiting 💞
i love when Paul goes full circle with the videos and then goes back to like a regular/usual asmr video like this.
this is why I appreciate Paul so much since he's creativity is like on another level but just as simple as a video for anxiety or to help sleep is still the best!(all I'm missing is more ear to ear whispering videos with a mic that you can hear kinda hear white noise.)
Same!
The dropper is the best trigger I've ever heard, and I've been watching ASMR for years.
I was literally laying here, on my bed, balling my teenage eyes out till they fell out of my sockets. Then i saw this and passed out after watching it. Thank you.
This is actually great timing. I've been really stressing about an upcoming presentation and thought I should watch asmr to calm down, and voila! Thanks ER
Rift reads minds I tell ya 😮. I have been needing these anxiety ASMR videos right now more than anything, was watching the older one, needing more to help get through this time in my life, and then BAM! Masterful timing 🤌 thank you again!
I always come back to this video. Thank you for the countless nights of good rest. I’ve been watching your channel for years now and it’s one of the only ways that I could get to sleep during the worst times of my life. You truly are like an uncle to us; thank you ER.
The old video in this setting is one I go to often when I feel overwhelmed. I will say I pretty much have it memorized by now so this new video is very much appreciated!
I really needed this. I am taking my licensing exam for the second time next Thursday and my anxiety has been so bad! Definitely needed something to recenter myself and trust myself. Thank you 😭😭
I still watch that video he tagged in the description when I'm feeling overwhelmed. It helps tremendously when anxiety hits a peak. Now that there is a part 2 (more or less 😅) I don't think I'll ever be stressed again
Me too fellow Poole, me too
@@xPooley1113 lmao! I've never come across a Poole in the wild 🤣
I’m a huge huge over thinker and get worried/anxious very easily, especially recently. This video is just what I need❤
Same with me.
i love that i can crank the volume and the quality stays the same on your videos. and the audio isn’t overwhelming like a lot of asmr is. so soothing
Этот канал был для меня величайшим открытием два года назад. Не перестаю благодарить дядя Е.
I’ve recently stopped 🍃 and had some very intense anxiety and sleepless nights. This helps me soooooo much and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making content like this. You’re a comforting figure in my life right now when I need one the most.
Gurt❤
Been watching you for almost 3 years I still suffer from panics and trouble sleeping but watching your vids has honestly helped me so much and has been almost like my safe space when I sleep
Oh my gosh!! The original video is what led me to your channel for the first time. I can't believe it's been 5 years of amazing ER content since then!
I love the original video for this and have watched it for years. I’m glad there’s a sequel!
All of these years.. thank you rift, you’ve become a guiding force in my life when Id find myself lost the most. You and your wonderfully creative mind. ❤
After my tinnitus was worsened recently I never thought I would find respite from the pain. You have given me peace again and I thank you.
Forgot to take my anxiety medication for 2 days in a row 1 day before I know I have to go into an area where I will surrounded by people I don’t know for hours. I messed up big time but these videos help me so much. My stomach pain, chest pain, and headaches from anxiety get so overwhelming but ASMR for some reason can cure all of them.
I’m so stressed I can’t even sleep. But luckily ASMR also helps with that lol!
For some reason this video really stuck with me, whenever i get panic attacks, I come back to it and it really helps me calm down. Thank you very much
Contacts on your sobriety, ER!! I’m three months sober myself and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. I tried and failed to quit for many years but I finally got the hang of being without it. Congrats and keep up the amazing work!
Congrats* not contacts
Congrats! X
I was having a brutal anxiety attack shortly after I woke up, and within 5 minutes of watching this video, not only has my anxiety subsided, but I feel even calmer than I did before the attack. I don't fully understand ASMR or how it works, but I am very thankful for you and this video. Keep up the great work, and thank you ♥️
asmr for the angry and upset has always been my fav to go back to, and this picks up the torch wonderfully
Honestly.. I don't get tingles much anymore. It's like chasing that adrenaline high.. but ER never fails to relax and interest me. That is invaluable and it is a crime this man only has a million subbies.
I just wanna say thank you Rift, this was my first time watching. I gave myself a really bad anxiety and panic and this really helps me a lot. Thank you, I had tears because I feel such a difference, I’ll still have anxiety here and there but overall this helps me. I hope this works for you guys it won’t cure it but it will help ease and relieve those symptoms. It’ll all be okay you guys. Love you all, you’re not alone ❤️
I feel like the timing of this was perfect for everyone here. The day he dropped this was the worst of my life so far. Thanks papa rift for knowin just what we need
I swear this guy is an other lvl of asmr! I LOVE this videos so much! THANK YOU A LOT! ❤️ And I wish you a great time and a good time with good people ✨
The 2017 video is one of my favorites of yours; helped me through times I don’t wanna remember. Thank you for this pleasant surprise!
I am so grateful that you made this. I rewatch the first version of this quite often and actually was going to watch it last night, but instead I fell asleep to another one of your videos. Now I'm laying here with insomnia, woke up and can't get back to sleep, so it's really nice to have your company so my mind doesn't start winding up and overthinking 💖💖
I have watched the “original” so many times now I am so exited that u remade this
I’ve been pretty sick and in and out of the hospital for what seems like a problem that doesn’t exist physically and I don’t have any medication or anything for anxiety so this video is the only thing that can get me to sleep at night. Rift has been an absolute miracle thank you so much
I lived with CPTSD for most of my adult life, so not a complete stranger to anxiety and worrying. It's all included with that wonderful package deal. But ASMR helps reducing the anxiety and !kop thinking to a point where I can fall asleep. So thank you for making these videos and having the patience to record it again when the previous file got corrupted.
I'm a collage student so yeah worry, depression is a regular thing in my life. But I'm always thinkin like someday it's gonna go away permanently . But uncle E really made me realize that its never gonna actually go away. So rather than bit@hing about it I need to be thankful about what I have and always try to improve cause theres always someone who's going through worse. So thank you sir and I wish you nothing but happiness.
You’ve helped me so many times with just this video because I always search it when I feel the anxiety adrenaline pumping. Thank you
Thanks, Ephem. I woke up really anxious about something going on in my life, decided to write in my journal and listen to your video. I definitely feel calmer.
I am currently going through anxiety as alots of things are happening , leading to big changes in my life causing me to worry. However, I find this ASMR channel incredibly helpful as it discusses anxiety in a way that resonates with me. I have never come across a channel that addresses anxiety so effectively.
I've been watching this man since 2012 and I'm 19 now I'm stressed about life and I'm scared to enter the adult hood for the rest of my life and so many times I've gone through anxiety and the second I tap a video on this channel within 10 seconds I'm already calmed and my eye lids get heavy really fast and instead of drinking I litsen to this.❤️ Tysm ER for helping me with lively issues :) I will forever remember - Your Dearest Viewer🖤🤍
This man made me want to be anxious so i would be allowed to watch the video
The world feels overcome with dystopian ideologies ...thank you for offering some wisdom about anxiety.
