      As a major sufferer of health anxiety myself, I've always majorly appreciated Jack talking about his health anxiety. It's always been so relieving to hear someone talk who just gets it. Obviously never had a conversation but it's nice to know there are others out there who experience the same problems. Cheers Jack x

    Going through a severe dip of Health OCD right now, I'm convinced I'm going to die pretty much every day, seizure, stroke, brain tumor, anything that will kill you that's basically what I'm thinking everyday. I'm getting panic attacks nearly everyday if not I'm extremely on edge. I'm checking my head constantly for dips or lumps ( even though all our heads have dips and lumps) The impending doom is the worst feeling ever, I've had the impending doom since I was a child. I had a panic attack at the age of 8 in London on new years. At the time I had no idea what it was, all I knew was that I felt absolutely terrified like I was going to die, I went cold like nothing would ever be okay again.
    Just knowing that I'm not alone in this is comforting, trying not to freak out right now. But thank you for this Jack, it's nice to know I'm not going crazy. ❤️

    Great to see Jack talk about his OCD/Health Anxiety. I’ve suffered from the same thing since I was 16. I was then diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2019.
    When Jack said ‘If I get diagnosed with something, that will be the end for me’, I want him to know it’s not the end. It was my biggest fear in the world but when it comes true your mindset changes and it becomes a new normal. Don’t get me wrong it’s very fucking scary but I’m living a normal life now (thankfully 2 years in remission). My health anxiety is no better or worse than before cancer. Fear is fear.
    I hope if he sees this, it isn’t triggering!

    I used to have strange OCD rituals and a kid/teen. Licking the toilet seat or my family will die, couldn’t have zips on cushions or labels facing me. The less and less contact I had with my abusive parents and the more I vocalise to my husband/friends what I have been through, these strange habits melted away. Literally gone over the years. Plus reading a shit load of psychology and philosophy books. Jung, Angelou, Women who run with the wolves.
    This made me remember all that so thanks 😊 all the growth is worth it for my three daughters. Hopefully hand down some wisdom and self worth ❤

    I had been suffering through anxiety and 4-5 OCDs for last 5-6 years around. Whenever I tried to spoke and discuss about this with my mum and friends they always mocked me and i never tried again. Even I realised that i was suffering through these things 1 year ago.And before that i thought it was natural and i lived with it and suffered everyday. It feels really good when I see other people who had gone through and made it. It gives a relief and hope that i will make it soon. And today after a lot of mental traumas and even anxiety attacks i am almost 90% recovered. Anyone out there who is going through this believe in yourself and know that you can make it.

    The section on health anxiety and OCD really resonates with me. I was diagnosed with OCD at 12 years old and they told me nothing about it. I've learnt a lot over the past 10 years about it but I've not found many people who have it or experience similar things to myself. I've been that guy desperately wanting friends to stay, wanting another drink, not wanting to go to bed, because my thoughts can be so frustrating and repetitive and horrible. I've never found anyone who also obsessed over not just time, but sunrise and sunset. The panic and anxiety of knowing the sun will rise but your brain won't shut up.

    Thanks for talking about health anxiety & OCD in general, Jack. I’ve suffered from OCD since I was very young, but it wasn’t actually until the first UK lockdown that it really came to light and I eventually knew I had to get some sort of help for it. It’s extremely debilitating, especially the health anxiety, because you walk around thinking that your days are numbered. Whilst the health anxiety isn’t much of an issue anymore for me luckily, OCD manifests into so many different things, and it has really impacted my relationships with my friends and family and I never feel comfortable in my own skin anymore. As you mentioned, whilst numbers & patterns are a major aspect of OCD, it’s not just restricted to that and I think the little awareness around the mental illness is such an issue because a lot of us can suffer unknowingly from it. Mad respect to you for talking about it.

Its quite a comfort ( weirdly) to know I am not alone. Talking about D, ( I can't even say the word) It can keep me up all night playing stupid games on my phone to try and forget about the thoughts. ... Another really soul searching warm interview.

    Thank you Jack. I have health anxiety and OCD that’s directly related. I see a therapist and a psychiatrist regularly. And I COMPLETELY relate to not wanting that confirmation that something *could actually* happen or be diagnosed. It’s a debilitating disease. I hope you can get relief someday soon ❤

    I feel like really bad health anxiety like this is often dismissed by so many people, even health professionals. I have suffered from it myself for many years now (ever since nearly dying of Meningitis at age 16), and Ive always felt like friends, family etc are so dismissive of it, and I just cant express how ... oddly relieving it is to hear someone like Jack open up about similar thoughts, makes me feel like less of a crazy person

    Really enjoyed this episode, I was so so glad to see Jack mate on here. I have watched Jack mate for years and years and I am a big fan of the podcast, so it was so interesting to see him talk so openly about his life. I am so glad that he opened up about his anxiety and OCD as I know that will help so many people. I also have suffered with health anxiety and it can make you feel so alone!

    This was so eye opening and enjoyable for me to watch. I've watched Jack for like 10 years, since I was just a kid myself, and he's obviously got this online persona. Delving deeper into behind the scenes in his life was absolutely fascinating for me, what a top bloke he is. And the way he spoke about Fiona, what a true man as well. Nothing but admiration for the guy

    When I first started to struggle with health anxiety, i didn’t know it existed, i thought i was going insane.
    I relate to jack, sleeping is the hardest time.
    Podcasts really do help, it stops me from thinking of everything.
    The ocd as well, I have to touch things a number of times or i won’t sleep. It makes you feel like the craziest person.
    It’s relieving that people know how i feel, sending love to jack ❤️

  • @Chris-xb6be

    Excellent podcast, I have a very similar type of anxiety with my heart, and at times I actually have thoughts wishing I worried about cancer, as it can be treated. I watch friends on my tablet or play games until I just fall asleep. These podcasts give you real insight into a side of people you can’t imagine.

    Just sitting in tears while listening to this 2019 when my health anxiety hit man. I still do think I've got cancer. I never went back to the doctors after my blood check up and still won't go near the doctors... I think health anxiety works the same way as my symptoms like you.

  • @pistachioeuan3336

    It's been really insightful hearing Jack talk about OCD. even though I don't suffer from OCD i do struggle a lot with anxiety and weirdly its nice hearing successful people talking about how they deal with their mental health issues while also managing to create a successful career

  • @Nellesaurus
    @Nellesaurus Před 2 lety +3

    I started tearing up when Steven asked the question "how do you really feel?" at the end.
    You can tell that it meant a lot to Jack to be asked this so sincerely in a space where only a few moments earlier had been so vulvnerably honest about his mental health struggles.
    I imagine when your world of work is very playful, silly and not so serious, you rarely have these questions asked with such sincerity. I really hope that him opening up in such a public space has lifted a weight off his shoulders that allows him to make further steps to a less anxious mind.
    What a guy

Well done to both for making this a great listen. You're both absolutely smashing it in your fields of expertise and its inspirational to 1000s of people who watch both of your content. Brilliant

    It's not embarrassing at all that prayer that Jack says. Never feel embarrassed about a prayer. Thank you for being so open and honest. I'm really health conscious and get very anxious over health issues, worrying endlessly over trying to be healthy or hoping life threatening illnesses are something I don't have to experience or my family/loved ones, and pray each and every day anyone who has faced cancer or anything similar finds peace. Not just themselves but their loved ones. I always pray for miracles and cures each and every day.
    Anyone reading this, hope you find your way, find peace and happiness living your best life

    Jack, love your honesty and it certainly helps others when talked about. I have something very similar and it’s very hard to articulate the thoughts and feelings because to someone who doesn’t have it you could be talking in another language I see it in their faces. But the ones that love you support and assist you and it’s a big thank you to those people in our lives. Stay strong ✊

  • @Monztxr
    @Monztxr Před 2 lety +5

    I never thought I’d hear someone extensively explain the same health anxiety I’ve experienced for the last 20 years. For anyone that’s interested this is my story:
    I was just turning 11, first year in secondary school when I felt and could see a lump in the downstairs area. This was 2004/5 when Lance Armstrong’s cancer recovery was being well documented and them ‘Livestrong’ bands were the rave around school. Slogans on them saying things like ‘Check your tackle’. Similar to Jack, I ignored it and carried on through school, college, work and so on.
    I also played mind games with myself, where for example I would look at a digital clock, and if it said 10:45 I’d turn away, in my head say ‘If it’s 10:46 I have cancer’ and then look back at it. I’d then turn away again and in my head say ‘If it’s 10:46 I don’t have cancer’ and this would be repeated until I found out the ‘truth’. Strangely when it landed on ‘don’t have cancer’ it made me feel a relief, almost like I had defeated it. Any slight change to my body I’d tell myself it was cancer, for example I had a spot underneath my left pec, which I convinced myself was cancer. It disappeared weeks later. Same with a term of coughing or feeling unwell, I’d tell myself it was my body deteriorating.
    Anyway, I’m now 30 years old, have 2 children, never felt healthier (despite being a type 1 diabetic from 18months old) but still fight the demons Jack is taking about.
    Thank you if you read all of this 👍🏻
