Sometimes I think “Why am I hear “ “What the point “ “Why do we die? “What happens when I die “I only get one chance I don’t want to screw it up “I don’t want to waste the valuable time I have “I don’t want to forget It’s all so overwhelming and considering I’m laying in the bathroom on my birthday this helps a lot.
I have senses anxiety that i only perceive the world through that meaning i only experience myself ? That freaks me out even tho i believe in reality sourrounds me how can i fix this
thank u for these videos they are very helpful! The main thoughts that really scare me are “why are we here? what is life? It’s so strange, we basically live just to die with no real established goal. Why is no one else seeing this or questioning this? I feel like my whole world is falling apart while everyone is so okay with their mortality. Which is how I used to be!! But it’s like a switch is flipped and I can’t remember how my old self thought about this stuff before. Did you ever feel this way?
@@raqueluy1691 hi yes I totally agree the pandemic really made me question what normal life is and it escalated into existential questions. I do experience dpdr but it’s gotten a lot better now. Once I learned that the root cause is anxiety, I’ve learned to calm myself down and it shows up a lot less
Hi Robin! I’ve been making good progress towards recovery after suffering from existential thoughts and dpdr. But there is one thought that has been stopping me from recovery and it is the fear of “eternity” and “being dead/alive forever”. Did you ever experience this fear? Thank you soo much for all that you do. You’re amazing!
These are simply another bundle of thoughts, which you become identified with. You believe the thoughts that your mind makes up about death and what happens after it: firstly, this takes you away from the present moment (where life unfolds) and therefore creates anxiety because you then live in a future that does not exist. Secondly, you attempt to find meaning using your mind, which is impossible. The mind can never help you with meaning. Whatever the mind tells you about it is wrong. Surrender to the thoughts that you experience, let them run as waves and just observe them. Surrender to any inner resistance that may remain towards death, eternity, etc. Surrender to your experience of the present moment. In doing so, thoughts and the emotions they carry will gradually vanish, and you will then be comfortable with “not knowing”. Remember, “not knowing” is a place of “no thought”, which is a place of peace, joy and acceptance.
My thoughts are just a constant fear spiral of "when will my mind take over? When will it win? When will it break? When will it make me go absolutely insane?" The whole concept of thoughts just scare me now, and the fact that i have zero control. Is the reality real or is the real reality in my mind? Whats the difference? And if i think thoughts like that (what is reality) does that mean my mind is winning the battle of making me go insane? Is reality breaking down now? What about now? Now? Is this feeling the first spark? Is this? Why do we have the ability to think these things? Is that because someone is controlling us? Trying to wake us up or make us stay asleep? Am I gonna stay in fear forever? Will I die afraid? Never feel peace? 🥺✌️ So much fun.
Great tips and information thanks.! I have a great title you can use for a future video: The Existential Crisis: (subtitle)- Existential Query, Existential Quest and Existential Resolution.
And who are you to judge all of this. Just accept it and stop thinking about this man. Start focusing on things that you like and live the unknown to the one who knows all
Thank you for all that you do! Your videos have really helped me along on my journey through anxiety. it seems that our experiences have been so, so similar! I wonder, at any point did you have the sensation that you were "trapped in your body" or "trapped behind your eyes"? It seems to be the one sensation I just cannot shake! Such an odd feeling. Thank you for your fabulous content! You've got a friend in Vermont!
Hi Julianna! Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️ I definitely relate to that sensation. Try to surrender to that and realise it's just a feeling, not actually a truth of you being trapped behind your eyes. You're here, you're safe, you're loved and you're allowed to surrender to life as it is ❤️
I’ve been doing quite good and I’m not as existential as before but what really has been bothering me and stopping me from flourishing is…. Is life real? Are we all living inside of a computer simulation? It has been bothering me real bad and I can’t spend time with my family without thinking that nothing is real
The only reason you’re thinking these things is because of mental scary thoughts, you are real, the world is real. And you are ok, it’s hard to grasp especially when the feelings are intense but I’ll send a video that I listen to daily that helps me so much :)
Let science explore this theme first. Even the greatest minds don't know yet if we live on a simulation, or if there are extraterrestrial beings living among us. Don't worry about that. There are too many people working on these answers. One of the things that help me a lot is watching other people desperate. I feel it's not only me. So, I like to calm them down. When only I am in panic, that's bad, but when we share the pain, it lessens for each mind. Don't worry, everything is gonna be alright at the end. 🙏👍❤️
I’ve struggled with existential intrusive thoughts for over 2 years now, at first it used to give me panic attacks until I learned the science behind panic attacks and now I’m able to stop them all together. However I still struggle with intrusive thoughts about existence. I feel like I’ve solved one problem (panic attacks) but not solved the bigger picture. I was fine for months and didn’t have these thoughts and when they did come I was able to just dismiss them, I need to get back into that headspace but now I’m worried I’ve actually got OCD and not anxiety. Did you ever think you had OCD when these thoughts would come into your head, how are u sure that it’s anxiety? Thanks so much for speaking on this topic, I wish I had your videos 2 years ago.
Hi Becky! Thank you for your message. I did think I have OCD when I was struggling with this! But now that I'm fully recovered I feel completely different. We're much more in control of how we feel than we think at first sight. There are still some spots available in the recovery course if you want! From what I hear from you it could really help you out a lot. 😊 Much Love, Robin.
Not completely but in a way yes :) if you ignore it you still might resist it in a way because you still carry negative energy towards it. But if you embrace it you actually face it and then treat it with love
@@robinschindelka2117how can I contact you? I’m a mother of a 2 month old baby!! I have some symptoms. I tried the accepting exercise and now today I have been feeling shaky through my body should I let it be is my body accepting it what does it mean? I really need to be okay for my baby.. I went through a stressful situation 3 weeks ago I see some improvement but just left with brain fog and a little fear sensation
Sometimes I think
“Why am I hear “
“What the point “
“Why do we die?
“What happens when I die
“I only get one chance I don’t want to screw it up
“I don’t want to waste the valuable time I have
“I don’t want to forget
It’s all so overwhelming and considering I’m laying in the bathroom on my birthday this helps a lot.
how are you right now?
Does anyone fear that the anxiety will return? And will we have the same problems again?
It might return but you’ll be stronger when it does, you got this don’t worry:)

Thank you for your message. I did think I have OCD when I was struggling with this! But now that I'm fully recovered I feel completely different.

how are you right now?
OCD is a form of anxiety. Have you recovered from your existential thoughts?
The course is now purchasable as a product on my website! No longer only live!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Have you recovered from these all without medicines?
Yes! Never took medication
Does if u have a depersonalization or anxiety Episode simply ignoring it have the same effect as accepting it?
Not completely but in a way yes :) if you ignore it you still might resist it in a way because you still carry negative energy towards it. But if you embrace it you actually face it and then treat it with love
I still have a spot available in the course this weekend by the way! If you're interested in joining you still can. :)
