There is nothing more inspiring, and more powerful than someone who wants to improve themselves. If you want to overcome an addiction, I think that makes you someone to be respected. And the day you finally do overcome and beat your addiction- is the day you become a hero to many people, even if you never meet them. Just the fact that one day, you'll be able to share that you've won over something you felt dependant on today, will be overheard by someone who meeded to hear that someone else had beaten the addiction they have.
And I'm so proud of you. You are not alone.
I believe in you, and I believe that you will one day be proud of yourself as well.
Take your time, and we will be here to celebrate your victory.

Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling with addiction for most of my life. I've got addicted when I was 12, because that's when I started to self medicate with substances to relieve the pain of existing. My parents did their best, but that doesn't mean they did good. I was abused emotionally and physically. My parents were emotionally unavailable and I needed that so much. I've been in addiction therapy for over 2 years now and sober for more than 2, 5 years. It was a hell of a ride, but I'm starting to live, finally, at age 37 I'm finally discovering who I am. I've still a long way to go on my healing journey, but addiction was a simptom of something deeper going on inside.

Thank you for this video, Psych2Go. I ve recently come to my own conclusion that (while this ain t as bad as any substance addiction and may not be an actual issue) I m addicted to gaming. I ve also recently (after 20 years of living) only came to the conclusion that I never had a proper childhood. Never had that wonder or sparkle you see in the eyes of children due to being exposed to the harsh reality that we live in and the world of competitive martial arts at a very young age which I think may have led to me finding a safe space in games. Keep up the good work and raising awareness of mental health.

I just had a thought.
All it takes is once. one drink, that's all it takes.
I was considering losing myself the way my family had, does, used to. I don't want to lose myself, I want to stay sober but I'm genuinely terrified of being alone with myself, being alone, truly. I want to take care of myself, the way I imagined someone doing for me since I was a kid. I'm scared that I will abandon myself, so I avoid myself and the confusion.

I left working at UPS to go work at a local pizza / bar restaurant as a cook. I get way more hours but the pay is low. I only get paid every two weeks. Last week I was working 67 hours a week. I work Monday through Saturday and I only have Sundays off. Yes I stay busy. but my well-being and my self-confidence is better. I don't feel threaten about any situation that goes on. Yes we have days that are busy and yes we have days that we are not.

Is there such a thing as an addiction to your own pain and sorrow. because that's I'm going through right now. and it's caused me to feel hopeless and absolutely horrible. I ain't joking either. 2 days ago I had a severely bad panic attack around 4: 23 AM. it started with crying, then. screaming. hyperventilate. and really bad shaking. that was the night that hurt me the most.

hi uh soo I was wondering can you do a video relating to if something happened to you? like let's say you were holding a baby and the fire alarm goes off and it happens multiple times like 3-4 and the baby was screaming in your ears and now you can't hold the baby without shaking or getting this overwhelming feeling of needing to escape the sound.

As a child i was molested by a teacher, that used to be very close to me. There started my binge eating, that was a copying mechanism. Now I've escaped from that person, but i'm still addicted. I hate my body, as much as my brain. I know that nobody is interested in this story, but in real life i have no one to share, so i just wanted to tell in anybody

it feels as if I got addicted to my own pain and sorrow. Like I won't believe if anything good is even ever going to happen. I always make myself sad not giving a chance to make myself happy as my relations with almost everyone is very toxic. i am feeling this from past 5 years and now I feel like there is no way I would be getting out of this pit.

We think my ears being drained as a baby affected my hearing; somewhat, but I hear you remember things at a younger age, besides the rewiring. I heard that in PSYC in university.
I think my biting skin on my fingers is more cause I ve done it since I was a baby in China, but being in America for almost my whole life, it hasn t changed.

Absolutely spot on. though I have a question about the end when it is said that I can change my brain. How do I do that? What work do I need to do and what kind of therapy or therapist would do the most good? Or is there more than one? I m tired of living like this.

It's important to end the judgment and stigma of addiction. I would never insult or judge a child that was abused, why insult and judge the adult that grew from the child that was abused, and did what they did as a response to trauma?
