I realized I have a lot of anxiety when I was in college. This barred me from personal growth. I didn't notice this problem until my senior in college. At that time, I wasn't happy with who I am or where I was, I wanted to change. So I started to raise my hand in class more, and took up leadership position. Of course, my anxiety was sky high, just imagine you raising your hand to ask the professor a question full of 300~400 people, or be a leader. I stuttered a lot when I ask questions, I wasn't a good leader, and you bet ppl made fun of me but ... I didn't mind. I know I wasn't perfect and these opportunities allow me to be better. I'm still struggling with my anxiety but I'm getting better... slowly.

What I wouldn't give to have found this video forty years ago. I lived this video....lived in hell for most of my life and have come out the other side a better man for it, but with the loss of my youth to middle adulthood. I had to figure it out all on my own...went to doctors...got fed lots of useless and harmful drugs and never once did anyone ever point out the simple truths of Carl Jung in this video.

It is from living the hell of this neurosis and having to find my own way out, that I can testify to the accuracy and vital information contained within this video. If you are young and experiencing these difficulties I implore you to take this video and it's recommendations to heart. It is your only hope to find your way out of hell and to a meaningful life.

As the video alludes I am one of the lucky ones...I tried to conform with my society even though I felt totally alien from it. It is only after a life of struggle I realize it was my inability to embrace my true nature and idealist and free thinker that crippled my emotions so. As I finally grew into the self I was meant to be...I did something I never ever thought would happen...I got better. Now I feel a depth of understanding of the world that I believe only few manage to achieve. Perhaps my life wasn't the utter waste I always thought it was. In the end, I found myself and the world.

To anyone experiencing this life problem do not fall into the doctor trap...be who you are meant to be and damn the risks. No matter the danger it is far less then the pain and hell you will inflict on yourself if you didn't take the risk.

Every time I read or hear something of Jung I am amazed at how well he predicted how my life was gonna be.

[MrSaemichlaus]

Conclusion: don't deny the fear, but move with it. Be bold, get out of your head, spend time imagining (meditating) who we actually wish to be.

[MrHayada]

Am I the only one who finds Jung's words to be the best I've ever heard? Every word, sentence and paragraph is so dense yet so complete. No word is wasted and he sounds like someone who talks about something he touched.

[Dragon_Baby-Sudan]

It's becoming scary the way these videos appear as soon as I need answers...

[boibrad]

This is so spot on. As someone who has struggled with paralyzing anxiety for 7 years now (that seemingly began in an instant) I see that the fall into neurosis was a path I unknowingly manifested. When I was 17 I was extremely depressed for family, and social reasons. I felt alone. My whole identity was invested in trying to be liked by everyone. On top of this I had a nasty case of laziness due to my parents never enforcing homework and still complimenting me on my "achievements." I did nothing. I got a computer in 8th grade and was immediately addicted. I just consumed all day every day. I had no self worth and the tiny image I held of me within myself faded. One day I had the realization I was going to die and quite literally did not know how to handle it. I broke down and disassociated. I didnt tell anyone for years because I was scared I was crazy. This resulted in years of doing nothing. I thought I had to fix my beliefs before I could move forward. I was so unaware that what was causing my lack of belief was the behaviors that lead me to my breaking point. I didn't stand for anything and was completely self absorbed. All I knew were my thoughts. If anyone is struggling with anxiety know you're not alone and healing is possible!! Its not an easy journey and this video hits the nail on the head. Drop the addictive behaviors you run to to keep you sidelined and commit to yourself. Books and videos are great for guidance but they wont heal you. Only you have the power to walk yourself home.

[FromPanictoParis]

I experienced 10 whole years of a horrible anxiety disorder from the age of 18 to 28, it tore my life apart in the worst of this disorder i was afraid to walk 2km from my house, i couldn't go on buses or trains, panic attacks were all i knew.

I am 31 years old now and I'm living in Paris, i recovered from this Anxiety disorder 3 years ago.

This video makes so much sense to me, it's so perfect so true every word spoke to me.

My life has changed dramatically, i stopped fearing these symptoms i used to think i was having heart attacks or strokes or some kind of medical emergency, when i lost the fear of this i went into life i went forward into the unknown i told myself id rather die than live like that so what have i got to lose ? This letting go and true acceptance then helped me recover. I started to run/jog far distances, into places i avoided for years, I went on to run the Dublin marathon and Paris marathon, and back travelling again. The man who once feared going 2km from his home, these disorders are so awful, until we truly know how to recover then recovery is straight forward but requires bravery, will power and most importantly self discipline.

Just turned 23, four days ago. And I cannot be more grateful to finding this videos of Jung. I believe this might have saved my life.
I was diagnosed with phobia, anxiety and major depressive disorder last year. I even spent a whole year trying to kill myself, which I almost did, ended in the hospital hadn't it been for my friends who dragged me to it. Got checked out, got home, still wanted to stop existing, broke up with my 4 year long girlfriend, created a great conflict with my family, basically felt that life was not for me.
But I found this series on Jung, and I can't say 'thank you' enough. I'm gonna apply this great man's theories in my life. No matter how painful, I'm going to overcome my problems in life, so that when I grow old and feel death near I'll be able to say that I have lived my life.

[Gen_Jutsu_Itachi]

Easily one of the greatest pieces of work you have put together this far

[ElNegringoKreyolito]

This... might be the best and most important video I've ever watched. Diagnosed me to a T. I started moving out of my head today already by dropping of an application for some part time work...now I'll pursue the endeavor with the utmost intensity. I tire greatly of the staleness, I want to really live my life. Thank you for making this video! 🙏

Adding to the final words of this video: Terence McKenna once said ¨Nature loves courage¨.
Just a litttle phrase with powerful meaning.

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

I spent most of 15yrs (minus a job here or there, for a year or so etc.) not working, raising my 2 sons. I worked hard before getting pregnant, and then, I had my first at 22. I’m 38 now, and feel like a waste of space, and paralysed. I can’t even fathom getting back into the workforce. I feel I have no skills to offer, and feel I cannot adapt to that lifestyle. I haven’t worked in 8yrs. I have been severely depressed for 6yrs, my anxiety has been debilitating for 2yrs. 2 weeks ago, I signed up to volunteer at an animal shelter. This is my attempt to break the neurosis. I had induction, and now I start next week. Here I go. Breaking the chains of this mental illness. Thank you for this video. It very much helps.

Without self-esteem and respect for others, you cannot be true to your own values... Accept responsibility for your actions... Be accountable for your results... Take ownership of your mistakes.

Finally dude.. Ive been waiting for this to get on with life

[timrichardson]

So many of Jung's sayings and insights correspond to my own experience. Over the years, I've learned from experience that if I'm in a cycle of anxiety/depression and want to change it, I have to do something different. That sounds so obvious, but it's hard for someone in that position to realize, because they are trapped in a positive feed back loop of symptoms leading to isolating and debilitating behavior which just reinforces the symptoms. If I'm feeling socially isolated, I have to consciously make an effort to interact with people to get free of that feeling. But whatever the different thing is that must be done, it must be done intelligently. And it often doesn't have to be a big change, just a consistent one.

I climbed that mountain. It's a beautiful view up here.

OCD made me neglect any social obligation, including my relationship. Neuroses
can totally throw your whole life off course without you even noticing it until you have the benefit of hindsight. Regardless of the hell it was, those experiences make you far richer
