The main problem is that most people have zero time and energy to set up or join these kinds of communities. Careers, education, kids, spouses etc take up all your time. And then you are left with tons of anxiety at night because deep down you are living as a lonely slave. Your wife doesn't really love you, she loves what you provide: A relationship, money and kids. The happiest people are those that work hard at something they are passionate about with people they enjoy being around. For example starting a business to get super rich with some fun friends.

And neither did meds when I took them over 15 years ago.

The part where he says you need to write down your history and come to an understanding. This is what got me out of depression when I was 18. 26 these feelings are back, and I know in my gut that what he’s saying is actually very true. For me, anxiety is caused by slowly starting to have thoughts that counter what you believe in. So slowly, my sense of self gets beaten down and I’m left feeling like a shell. Need to reorientate back to my true self, and come to an understanding that even if I have those thoughts, doesn’t mean it’s true and what I want to believe in. Being Delulu is being happy.

This starts to retrain your mind into seeing you as someone who deals with things rather than avoiding them 3) Don't assume your anxiety is psychological. It may be physiological. Try the lion diet and see what happens (my advice 😁)

Best of luck to you. I never had troubles with anxiety through life but recently it just hit me like a freight train. Like you, I could hardly eat and my heart would race which would in return cause other health effects. My father passed 2 years ago in his late 40’s so that started a cascade of health anxiousness. I don’t mean to push anything on you but looking towards Jesus Christ helped me. I agree with Dr Peterson that anxiety is an issue with the over indulged image of self so being able to off load and trust in God has just made the load so much easier to bare. Being with community also helps. Another thing that helped was me holding “conference meetings” in sunny peaceful spots with my bodily organs and telling them that through Gods will, everything will be fine. Don’t rush your body, accept that it will be strained for a bit and just give it some positive reinforcement to heal up in due time. Sorry if this was TMI. Im not a doctor but being there has just made me so empathetic to anybody going through this. If this message in anyway helps even at the smallest level then it was more than worth it. Take care ❤

@@andriybilan4047 yes, hopefully. I can give you my personal example. In the past, I was rather awkward socially, I never hanged with people, and so my confidence was very low. Later, I started changing my social habits and started becoming a good conversationalist, and people assured me I was appreciated and loved. I never believed them, as I still thought I was awkward and that no one liked me. Having realized that I have evolved from my past into a more sociable and likable person, I finally started to improve my confidence, and this started by looking into my past and seeing how I've changed into something better. Now this is a very personal example so it probably won't count much for you. Point is, seeing how your past has shaped your psychology into what it is today might help you see how your anxiety and worries are faulty, and by that you can start deconstructing those detrimental thoughts. Seeing where our faulty psychology came from in our past can help us identifying the things that affect us negatively. It's difficult to explain but I hope it's somewhat helpful haha

I was diagnosed with GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) a few years ago. It takes a wholistic approach to preemptively manage it. If I was diagnosed today I probably wouldn't have the same diagnosis. Maybe this will help someone...this is what helped me a lot: 1) Learning boundaries (I did about 3 months of therapy to learn how to set boundaries, which I never had. That was a huge help) 2) Mindfulness meditation (Powerful tool. Learning to detach from thoughts for a few moments per day is incredibly beneficial. I used the book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels to learn some strategies that I liked. Sitting in silence for even 10 minutes a day and learning to observe thoughts is a daily discipline.) 3) Cut out caffeine. (Coffee was way too much caffeine, which sent me into a cycle, overtaxing my nervous system) 4) Journaling daily (Even if for a few minutes, just to throw thoughts and emotions on paper, and throw the paper out). 5) Cold showers (This works for real. It's a challenge, but a good one that trains the body to react to an uncomfortable situation with ease over time, which helps general anxiety levels). 6) Getting into eastern philosophies (I benefited a lot from common spiritual principles shared amongst Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism...I'm not religious but I found the mindfulness and meditation principles of such philosophies to be very calming. The other world religions also have awesome principles.) I don't know, thought I'd share, maybe it'll help someone else as well :)

Do you think perhaps the cold shower thing ALSO has something to do with the fact the body and brain is reacting to a REAL, KNOWN discomfort instead of something you can't put your finger on? I've seen that effect with taking very long walks outside. If I am anxious about something I can't control especially if it's a "less natural" type of threat... taking a walk where I need to be aware of the weather (AND human predators too)... helps me focus on what's REAL and things I can see and feel instead of things in my imagination I can't control at the moment. Even though I am focusing on very real "threats" with the walk, overall it actually helps calm me down. I've seen the same thing with taking a DRIVE too (driving is definitely a risky activity but I know that and am familiar with it and ready to deal with those threats).

Depression is an action of the body to De-presses so much pressure that our mind has been having for a long time through suffering, injustice, for being ignored for so many people, for being bullied, for trying to make everyone else happy, for laugh so everyone can see that you are not sad and so much more pain in your life, So the body and mind cannot resist any more and become the Depression. Some people can defeat depression and others cannot. God bless everyone with this condition and find real love ❤️ with some pets, they love ❤️ are unconditionally.

Thank you for this!

I’m saving this video and going to watch it again and again. Thank you ❤

Yes! Help others! My kids come home from school with lists of suggestions for self-love/care (self obsession) and the lists never include 'service to others'.

So true, thanks for that. I was in poisonous relationship which i had to end because it drived me crazy. Then i tried to give enough time to myself and care for myself, because i didn't have space for myself at all in that relationship. But in fact, i was feeling terrible after breakup. Reason? I suddenly had no one to care for, it felt like i lost the purpose of my life. So this is why you should be with your friends, family, anybody.. after you lost someone. And also it's good to care about yourself but not too much.. If you have all things solved in yourself and you know it, it's better to care for others and live for others. It's the meaning of life for me. Basically now i understand, that if you care about yourself too much and you're anxious that's life telling you that you're doing something wrong. But these situations are great experiences to know and help others. So all in all my life gave me these lessons and Jordan confirmed it. I'm glad for that.

Finally resisting myself to say thankyou to you in comment section becomes unbearable for me😊. Thank you Jordan, thank you so much!! I am experiencing how a dedicated person can change everything and everyone around him. You are changing lives man. How much effort it takes to be so articulate everytime you talk is beyond my imagination. You have proved me that its not always easier said than done sometimes its like it must be done multiple times by yourself before saying and after that saying it is the most valuable thing one person can do for another.

Absolute legend. I've sent this to my miss, thanks man. Means alot. There is not alot of this kind of info, from a professional. Chris from the uk

I am truly appreciative of Dr Jordan for this very incredible message.I really needed to hear this.And for sure I will never be the same again.I promise!

Mindful of the children’s book, There’s a Nightmare in My Closet. Child and Nightmare make friends after they both discover they’re each afraid. In a shifted sense, the nightmare is a tangled mess of negative energy that is self perpetuating, and perhaps “it” is not so happy about that, and would rather be well assembled. Then we all would feel better!

Thank you Dr Peterson, you're brilliant. Thank you.

I’m going to try all of this stuff. Thanks Jordan

How well Jordan Peterson knows about people is amazing. He has always been a great help for me in very different difficult situations. THANK YOU ❤

This really is one of the most helpful video clips that Jordan has ever done. He’s even multifaceted in what he talks about. Then he also keeps it down to 10 minutes. Great job!

The food and diet connection is valid and real, I am a walking testament to this.

I quit coffee last year November... I don't feel less anxious to be honest. However what I did notice is that my happiness level doesn't take as many deep nose-dives anymore... which seems probable because in the Hubermann podcast about dopamine he mentions that caffeine causes a peak in dopamine which then drops below baseline and a lower baseline is associated with depressive disorders.

I have cried countless tears of joy for Jordan’s transformation and transcendence! ✝️🕊🙏 I am so grateful for everything. God bless you and your family. ✝️🕊

THank you dr peterson, i needed to hear about this.

What I have discovered is that the way to get rid of negative emotions is to feel and experience them completely. That means to allow the feelings of fear, anger, grief and shame to flow without blame, judgement or harming others or self. It's about recognizing that these emotions are within us, they entered us through our childhood experiences of which a lot were not loving, and taking personal responsibility to release them. Once we do, we will feel much happier, confident and our health will improve.

I was going to post something like this. I like Dr. Peterson, but his overly psychotherapeutic approach on this topic likely perpetuates these emotions in his viewers who will continue to ruminate endlessly about the past and future. He dumps on mindfulness, but it's really the best framework to feel the negative emotions in their totality to finally "release" them, or transmute them as we say in the practice.

@@chriscroteau931 I also like Jordan and there are many good things that he does for people but I think that the truth about emotions is not well known on the planet or in the medical community. Most people believe that these emotions are a part of their personality and nature, when in fact they are not, those are only emotional injuries that can be released and cleared so that we never have to experience them again. There is a general terror in people about feeling emotions so that is why we spend most of our time avoiding, denying and suppressing our emotions by all kinds addictions and techniques which only make things worse. I feel we need to become like a child again in the way they experience emotions, before they got suppressed, manipulated, threatened or violently abused out of the emotion. It is a difficult thing to do, but it is very much healing. Grief is the healing emotion and when we cry it out, peace and joy comes.

For fear and anxiety, that method doesn't work for me very well. I have been awake at night for hours before just letting the scary potential outcomes run around in my head, and more freely "letting" them do that doesn't seem to decrease the time spent doing that any more. The only thing that usually stops it is when I either CAN finally take action (like calling customer service WHEN they open in the morning) and/or getting too physically exhausted to stay awake any more, etc. But it really seems like I have no control over fear. I CAN relate to letting myself experience sadness and grief as helpful though. And sometimes I'll have discovered that I was unknowingly using anger to "cover those up." I didn't realize before (until ONE particular incident) that letting oneself cry can actually release feel-good brain endorphins. Once I discovered firsthand that was a totally literal and legitimate phenomenon, I even became an enthusiast of tearjerker movies (!) The incident that actually showed me firsthand that phenomenon was when I saw the movie "Inside Out" for the first time, and during one particular scene / line, tried my hardest NOT to cry (I was with my roommates)... then later discovered I was craving more tearjerkers (as if something REALLY WANTED to be "let out", no surprise there lol). I don't cry easily at all (so yes that movie was a huge surprise), and until then, didn't like it at all during the rare times when I did. But after "Inside Out", I was "on the search" lol.

@@sathvamp1 It works for fear and anxiety, but we have to allow the emotions to rise in their full capacity, to shake or tremble, feel the waves of fear wash over us. Most of us try to control and sedate the feeling of fear and that struggle creates tension and that creates pain. I feel we need to learn how to sit with fear and anxiety, be aware of the body as where it manifests and if we do it consistently and as long as it takes, the level of fear will subside. At the beginning far can rise for a bit, but it will go down. Fear is probably the most difficult emotion to feel but it is very relieving to experience and releasing it, so it with grief. Grief comes easier to most of us, and we often would like to jump over fear and go straight into the grief, but most of the time, fear covering over grief, just as you correctly point out, anger covers over fears. It is my experience that every layer has to be experienced, in order to get to the root cause, which is most often grief or shame.

The 3rd reason for negative emotions JBP mentioned here is the possibility of undiagnosed autoimmune conditions. Then he mentions the emerging literature on carnivore/ ketogenic diet as a potential solution to such autoimmune conditions hence solution for excessive negative emotions. Not deep learning?

I love this video. Thank you Dr. Peterson. I think autoimmune and emotional stress have driven the other issues personally. For the autoimmune portion: Keto and intermittent fasting can help with everything from estrogen dominance, to herpes, to allergies, to infections, to diabetes, to digestion, and joint inflammation. And I’m only scratching the surface.

@sathvamp1

Whenever keto (or ANY type of diet) is mentioned I always feel the need to ALSO bring up (and, from what I've read, prioritize) the factor of harmful synthetic chemicals. Many harmful synthetic chemicals can CAUSE autoimmune and many other diseases.... but the ONLY food label that does NOT allow synthetic chemicals is "organic." Far too many people either think the label "organic" doesn't mean anything, OR they think it means something it does not. But.. "organic" legally DOES mean NO synthetic chemicals (or GMOs) allowed in the food. But that is ALL it means (it doesn't mean "plant-based" or even "whole food"), BUT the legal exclusion of synthetic chemicals (i.e. not allowing them) is still a VERY big thing when you look at studies showing synthetic chemicals can harm DNA, immune cells etc. (thus cause cancer, AUTOIMMUNE diseases, etc etc). So, to keto I say "SURE... as long as / especially if its ALSO organic." Same with intermittent fasting. To me, there is not much sense in manipulating types or proportions of foods that STILL CONTAIN harmful, synthetic chemicals. Both plants and animals (IF not organic) are allowed to contain such chemicals. But if either is labeled "organic", they are not allowed to. I am well aware that many people have benefitted from JUST the "keto" factor etc... but some have not. And I bet EVEN MORE people will be on the "benefitted" side of the data if they ALSO address the "organic" factor.

I'm afraid of how dangerous most people are and how vulnerable our human bodies are.

The most dangerous people are cowards. They run in groups or they'll use psychological theatrics first to get you where they want then go from there. In groups just mouthing off really aggressive will put you in fight and them in flight in fact they're such cowards they may all just run from that. The psychological theatrics is working out what they look like and just acknowledge that is what's happening and to not looking into it any further. The purpose of it is to get you to look into something meanless to gain control and get you where they want. My learned experiences.

This is exactly what I'm working on right now... I'm avoiding the idea of "solving the problema of anxiety" and approaching the idea of "the world is like it is, my present is temporal, my feet are now in the land of 'I'm moving towards a direction that aims to my objectives'"... and playing more guitar and piano :P Your words are magical, there are so many ideas that others have already put into words, and it is so important to do that yourself too. Thanks!

Thank you Dr. Peterson!

Helpful video. Thank you. I like the idea of serving others’ to turn the rumoring off or at least decrease it. I’ve gotten better at not allowing myself to go down the rabbit hole of letting fear of the future take ahold of me. Fear of never finding my ‘person’ and growing old alone. Living more in the moment. I know in my case it’s circumstance and not psychological. I’ve dealt with grief of being 41 and not being a wife (yet) or a mom (yet). But having my faith has helped me through it 🙏🏻

Very helpful, reminds me of your old videos which I love dearly. Thank you for taking the time to share. 🙏

This is good info, thanks QUESTION: What can I do as the wife of a seriously negative person? We started on the carnivore diet in August. I’ve seen slight improvement. Still, his 'bad' thought and the expression of them have me worried I should be doing more than positive reinforcement. Mostly, he answers anything I say or suggest with a negative response. I am discouraged. It can be overwhelming. I thank God I have my faith, and prayer.

So the most important thing before starting with SSRIs would be doing a thorough bloodwork.

I changed so much of my life, so thankful to have one of the greatest thinkers of my time, providing life guidance.❤

Just hearing him say it might not be psychological put my mind at ease. I can't imagine it'd be good for you to believe that there's something mentally wrong with you. Adds a lot of stress.

The truth ❤

This was a question I had wanted to ask Dr. Peterson himself if I ever had the opportunity, as he has talked about his high neurotisicm before and is something I am struggling with. Very thankful for this video

Thank you so much! I have been following you for a while now and you are like a miracle. I am tired of therapists who don't help because they need to sugar coat it or wait for you to discover things by yourself or etc. I have been in therapy on and off for over 20 years and I am considered a ''complexe case'' (I am not complexe, just very traumatized). WIth your videos like this, you have managed to help in many ways. I needed the ''no bullshit'' approach. I am so sad that you don't take patients.

this was literally like a glass of water. Thank you for this ♡

I scored 91 on conscientious and 91 on neuroticism, on your big five test, Dr. Peterson. I took it a couple years ago during my SS disability claim. During that time I found out I was Autistic, and it was hidden by my parents, who beat me as a behavioral problem. Spare not the rod, drunkards. My anxiety has not improved in the last couple years.
