A lot of people have asked us to upload this specific part of the Weller ep, as a stand alone clip. So here it is. Thanks everybody for being so lovely about this... it was super weird to talk about this so publicly.
â€ïž
Cheers for speaking openly about this mate. I struggle with similar stuff a lot and it's really good to know I'm not crazy and that other people are experiencing similar things too. This was a great podcast, definitely my favourite; great interviewing from both of you, pure honesty, loved it.
Respect man
Thanks for sharing. If either of you read this, please get into mindfulness/meditation. It has been scientifically proven to help with both OCD and depression. Beyond casual meditation, at advanced states you can reach a level of happiness, peace and even ecstasy that lasts 24/7.
Thanks for sharing as I have ocd very similar to yours being paranoid and thinking I have cancer and thinking people I care about are gonna die and this helps me to relate as I havenât opened up to anyone about it.â€ïž
Joe seems like such a nice and down to earth guy man
Because he is
Yh ever since he lost to KSI a lot of people have been like ahaha Joe lost heâs so irrelevant what an idiot and Iâm a KSI fan but I still respect him whereas Ik some people who are like me but disrespect him because he lost but heâs so down to earth. But I donât like his vids and still respect him which you should
Hearing that there's someone else who feels exactly how I feel has helped me a lot, thanks lads
Literally
Donât ever feel alone my guy talk about it
l know right, sadly they will never see how many people they really help by this, me being one of them, full respect to jack and joe, takes insane strength to speak out like this, should be very proud of themselves for real
@@benmedland4075 except if you talk about it nobody cares lol just stating facts. Ive never experienced anyone truly care, it's always been a nosey selfish person or a paid person that just says fake compliments to u lol realistically nobody's gonna save you but yourself. Be glad i said it.
Big Jump fairs
Feel so bad to hear about this man, so happy that Joe helped you open up, what a lad
You can tell Joe is just as good an interviewer as Jack is, just from the way he's managed to spin this around so smoothly.
I have health anxiety too. If I find myself coughing or feel a tiny pain in my back or have a headache or whatever I will convince myself that it is something seriously wrong. What makes it worse is because I've convinced myself.. I will constantly be stressed and tensed up which makes your body and muscles ache which further convinced me something is seriously wrong. Its a terrible cycle.
Me too
Same, whatâs bad aswell is for me when I go to the doctors or GP I feel like theyâve missed something or overlooked something which keeps me in a loop
Same mate, really takes a toll on you
Music Friend never related more to that
im the same, and i also have anxiety towards going to the doctors so that doesnât help. i have times where when Iâm sleeping i think im not breathing properly and Iâm convinced im going to die. ive only just really spoken out i just hope it gets better
Jack and Joe is a great dynamic, would love to see more of them!
defo
i donât know how many of you guys have OCD, but i myself have it, and hearing Jack talk about it feels so good.
@@emmaobri3n having to second guess yourself multiple times is never good aha
This podcast is the gift that keeps on giving.. Been absolutely smashing it recently but fp this episode was solid
as someone who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder I'm so proud that British CZcamsrs come to a point where we can speak openly about mental health and have people come together rather than giving each other shit about it
The problem w going to the doctors to get it checked from my experience is that itâs a checking behaviour which increases the obsession as it provides a bit of relief which your brain will crave again making u doubt yourself more next time, sure you already know this tho
I suffer with health anxiety like Jack and itâs honestly horrible. Big up to jack for talking about it and starting a conversation about mental health!!
Jessica Clement same honestly, hearing him talk about it made me so happy cos i suffer so many similar symptoms so many hours of a day, and started with a very similar thing, but on my ribs/lung
Same. I really suffer from it as well
Oskar Sjögren I had it really really bad a few years ago and itâs much better now! Itâs crazy how your mind can trick you into thinking youâre ill even if youâre physically completely fine
Tunaman69 E as much as everyone says it, it does get better. You learn you canât live your life worrying about something you canât control!
A topic that needs to be discussed more. Well done for speaking up.
Welled is such a nice guy, When jack said it was silly he was like nah itâs good to talk and everything he said was brilliant
So grateful that people talk about this kind of stuff, especially Jack talking about his health anxiety. Thought I was alone in convincing myself I had brain tumors, cancer etc every day. People think you're crazy or just always overreacting and don't understand that it's really scary a lot of the time
Iâm the exact same! Itâs terrible â€ïž
as someone with ocd and health anxiety, i come back to this video every so often just to remind myself that im not alone in my struggles. thank you so much for this jack, youve helped so many of us
Keep strong đȘđŒ
Itâs so powerful when an individual has the courage to be able to speak about how they feel!!
I like how he can open up to joe because he knows that joe also goes through struggles and understands it
Used to think Joe was a bit arrogant but if in truly honest I was 100% wrong and the way he handles Jack opening up was great. He's the kinda person people can look up to for how to react
We need a Joe Weller FT jaackmaate video!!! Love this chemistry
Commend you for opening up about this jack not enough you tubers talk about mental health issues always thought you were a legend but I have so much more respect for you now
Thank you for spreading awareness from a fellow mental health sufferer x
I legit thought that was just something in my head. So happy to hear other people that have this same type of anxiety
Thank you so much for this, this will inspire people to also open up about what they deal with - very proud that you come forward to talking about it !!
Yo this conversation is legendary, thank you for this, honestly
Up there as one of your best podcasts, great job lads x
I feel exactly the same as jack! Its comforting to know its not just me being stupid and there are others out there who go through the same things
Class podcast, just three guys having a genuine conversation
One of the best and most raw podcasts ever, absolutely love it
thank u so much for opening up about this
Youâre amazing for opening up about such a personal thing. Truly so much respect and especially because youâre helping other men feel less alone and more comfortable talking about it
Thank you so much for talking about this Jack, I am going through the exact same thing and have been for months- started seeing a therapist but have been having a really bad day with it today, but seeing this really helped! Thanks
Iâm sooo glad you opened up about this Jack! Honestly made me feel so much better, as Iâve struggled with similar mental health problems! Its amazing that youâve shared this THANK YOUâŁïžlove your podcast x
Wow I wish Iâd seen this when it was out. I also suffer from health anxiety. Thanks a lot for recording this and opening it. Was refreshing to hear exactly the same thing!
Weller is a down to earth sound lad. Much respect for the respect and openness
As someone with health anxiety, it helps a lot to hear your story. Just knowing I'm not alone makes one hell of a difference.
I canât relate to everything jack said about his OCD. Thank you for opening up. Itâs amazing to see that a creator that I have so much respect and love for is going through the same shit as me.
Hearing this has made me realise that this is what Iâm suffering from and to hear u open up and speak about it itâs class I have the same symptoms but when I think about those types of things I got a bit dizzy sometimes or breathless so to hear u talk about it makes me want to go talk about it đ
Iâve genuinely never felt so relieved hearing this literally jack you have put my mind at rest thank you man
Thank you for making this podcast and talking about these things guys, I mean it. Iâve been dealing with anxiety and depression for years openly with next to no help from anyone else (I often reach out and get met with blank stares), therapy doesnât work, pills donât work, nothing. Iâve also had pretty severe OCD since childhood but Iâve never told anyone how bad it really is and Iâve never spoken to a medical professional about it because Iâm worried people will see me differently or think Iâm weird. Seeing you guys talk about the exact things Iâm going through is so refreshing. No one else I know seems to get it, no one knows how to help and I donât know how to help myself.
As someone who also has OCD, it is great to hear people with a platform talk about it frankly and so well, great job guys â€ïžđ
This really helped to listen to honestly, even though I'm almost a year late, I appreciate Jack and Joe being so open.
I had a testicular torsion 3 years ago at the age of 20, and any kind of interaction down south leads me into a panicked state. I relate to this, and it's comforting to know I'm not alone in how I feel.
I can relate to so many of the anxietyâs jack has and itâs great to know that you are not the only person having them đŻ
Great respect for everybody who's opening up like this! This is a topic that should be discussed a lot more in public. It would stop the feeling of guilt and shame, each OCD sufferer has.
Thanks for this pod guys, great work, much love â€ïž
God bless you, Jack.
Thank you so much for talking about this. It has made me realise I have the exact same thing. Everything jack described about the health anxiety to a tee.
As someone who also suffers from health anxiety and has been treated for over 2 years itâs really refreshing to see this discussed in an open way. Hope everything remains well for you Jack and Joe handled that fantastically well
so good to see both of u opening up about mental health, especially being men , hopefully inspiring others to talk about it
This is actually really interesting one of the bests podcasts Iâve seen thanks for posting daily
As someone who has struggled with anxiety my whole life. I absolutely admire Joe heâs class. It was also great to here Jack open up about his OCD as well. Both a pair of legends
Such an important conversation I feel like a proud parent watching it take place
Long time viewer of both you guys and the way Joe explained the importance of seeing a therapist has figuratively flicked a switch in my brain to go and see one. Always been an advocate for mental health but something here, (i think maybe the seriousness in Joe's voice and knowing he's been through it?) has helped me connect a lot of dots. It's like i felt subconsciously it wasnt happening to me but only others around me - and now ive become so aware.
Hi Jack, I just wanted to say thank you so much for opening up and talking about OCD, I also have had OCD from a young age where I used to be terrified of the rain and natural disasters it used to effect me a lot from primary school though to secondary where every time it would rain I thought me and everyone else was going to suddenly die which used to cause extreme panic attacks I used to have a 40 minute routine before bed where I would have to touch things a certain amount of times, close cupboards a certain way, check the news 10 times just before I could sleep
me, my school and family never knew what it was until I was diagnosed with OCD. now I am 20 I have learnt to deal with it a lot better and I am completely fine with the rain and natural disasters and although it took me years to overcome and those horrible intrusive thoughts which changed a lot before it got better. it is now at a point where it is under control and I have learnt with help how to keep those thoughts out of my head.
Thank you so much for talking about OCD as it is so important for people to understand how complex it can be and this is the first time I have commented on a video about my own OCD,
Joe is a seriously top top bloke. Unreal advice and a brave lad - all the best to him and the HHP guys.
This is powerful man, stay strong loving the content
You have no idea how much I respect you opening up about this, for the first time to hundreds of thousands of people, should be proud Jack.
Takes a lot to upload this, wish you all the best and loved you for years x
Big respect for you for being so open about this, it takes guts to say all that stuff
This is really important to normalise. Love the honesty and reality of this podcast. Itâs an excellent reminder that, all in all, weâre all human. Thank you lads.
Joe what a man, so thankful for watching this. â€ïž
its so good to hear other people suffer with what you suffer with
Jesus Christ thank you jack , I literally feel exactly the same . I have the exact same testicular cancer health anxiety and I literally canât open up about it at all, hearing this and reading the comments has absolutely helped me so much I know Iâm not alone
So good to see just two normal blokes talk about mental health in this way. I hope you realise how many people you will help by posting this.
I pretty much had the same experience as jack and itâs nice to hear it from somebody else
Respect to both of you guys! Especially for showing itâs ok to open up about our mental health. I personally can totally relate to most of that! What your saying makes total sense to me. Itâs exhausting some times but cheers for that vid got got another sub thatâs for sure.
Listening to Jack talk about his mental health problems made me feel more normal than I did before. I struggle with something similar daily! I have severe health anxiety, to the point that even a little ache or pain in any part of my body, makes me instantly fear the worst! Iâve never found a lump or anything and it started when I had a panic attack when I couldnât breathe properly due to asthma when I was a kid. I donât struggle with regular anxiety just about my health and hearing jack open up about his mental health, has made me open up to family members about it and it has started to help me a little! So thank you! Much love
Good to see mental health being spoken about openly, it's difficult to open up. Nice one guys.
Joe Weller has just gone to god tier for me! Thank you bro i needed to hear this!
As someone who gets health anxiety sometimes itâs really comforting to hear another young man taking about the same thing
lord that must be EXHAUSTING. well done for speaking up on it!
So incredible opening up about OCD. I appreciate this
I found a lump when I was 12 and I went to the hospital and they checked me for cancer and a few days later my mum received a call and they had diagnosed me with testicular cancer, although it was a misdiagnosis it made me worry for weeks (when they told me it was a mistake) but it makes me feel so grateful that I'm alive
You really dont know how many people have this problem, I thought I was insane when I was younger and dealing with OCD. I had no idea what it really was thought I was mental. Feels a lot better to hear about other people who've dealt with it, cheers Jack.
Amazing how many have the same struggles. We are not alone.
Have experienced the same thing. Thanks for this jack.
Love the podcast â€ïž
I respect Jack for opening u Labour this, I never would of known, and if he never said anything I wouldnt know. Big respect to you mate
Just stumbled on this and it's so relevant to how I've felt at times,
Exactly what you said about not wanting to test anything even though you know it would help incase it came back that you were ill
I can't watch medical shows both real and drama, because whatever someone has on it, ill start to obsess that I may have it too.
I didnât know this was a thing thankyou so much
Honestly I can relate to Jack so much! I used to have ALOT of them rituals when I was younger, e.g. kissing the picture, expect I have have to say a certain phrase that someone said to me like 5 times to understand what they said. Also the grandparents thing, that's basically the EXACT same thoughts I have when I dont call them for example. Great video guys, glad to see you all doing wellâ€
I really respect Jack for opening up about his OCD. As someone whoâs diagnosed with OCD I appreciate how hard it can be to open up about, especially when it comes to extreme experiences with intrusive thoughts
I am struggling tonight with my health anxiety, clicked on this video and I feel a little less alone â€ïž
This podcast has helped me so much to realise that mental health happens to most people and that I'm not weird for feeling mentally sh*t thanks jack
This has described what Iâve been feeling for a years, 100%
Mental Health is so important. I have suffered with anxiety for three years and Iâve suffered with intrusive thoughts a lot before.
Genuinely wtf, ive had like a mild form of this for several years now triggered by a panic attack i had in year 8. I didnt even recognise this was actually a mental condition i always go to the doctors with weird stuff they say theres nothing wrong with me and then i get a fear about something else - theyve never mentioned health anxiety as a possibility. Thank you so much for shedding light on this jack.
Thanks for opening up jack mate đ
Itâs crazy because youâd never expect someone like Jack to be going through things like this mentally I guess because of the character he portrays online. It just shows that you never know what someone is going through behind closed doors. Itâs weird how Iâve stumbled across this video today when Iâve actually been having some horrible and intrusive thoughts myself about things that donât even exist but my brain is making me believe they do. Itâs fucking horrible. Jack and Joe are two of the realest guys on the platform and this podcast has been an absolute pleasure to listen to!
I understand Jacks reluctance to see a doctor as once your intrusive worry is eliminated, your OCD manifests itself in other ways... a therapist will understand this and help you overcome the brutal cycle. Keep going mate thanks for opening up.
I struggle with severe ocd, health anxiety and major depression, so hearing you open up about how it has impacted your life (and still does) is very much appreciated. thereâs a great deal of stigma surrounding certain mental illnesses, especially some âscarierâ symptoms that cannot be romanticised by those who donât suffer with it. ocd is an extremely debilitating mental illness that affects your ability to function in everyday life, and the silliness with which it is depicted in media (Big Bang theory, etc) only skews the general publicâs perception of its severity. i think that any discussion of ocd is a discussion worth having, and seeking therapy is definitely something that could be beneficial for you. in regard to your worry that a therapist will tell you to seek out a medical professional to dispel your intrusive thoughts (obsessions), from my experience it isnât like that. they actively work on your anxiety around intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and allow you to understand why you feel compelled to neutralise these thoughts in the ways you see fit. itâs very much more about your mental health rather than your physical health. if you do seek out therapy, you should research trained therapists who specialise in ocd and intrusive thoughts. all the love to you.
Thank you for this
This is crazy. I literally have this exact same thing since I was at secondary school and I had stomach pain, and my teacher told me 'Your appendix must have burst and you'll die' and since then I have very VERY similar things to jaack here.
At least its not just me.
Why did a teacher say that to you? So stupid to say that
@@ms-ff9ed yeah, they did apologise to me later that day, but although I try my best to move past my anxieties, it does still truly effect me to this day!
ArchezBeCray Iâm sorry bro, do you actually think about it all the time?
@@ms-ff9ed its weird, like if I'm busy and able to keep myself occupied it doesn't happen too much, and I've definitely got a lot better about these things in recent years, but its like, you see adverts for illnesses and then you kinda convince yourself that you've got it you know đ€Ł
Its not pleasant, but I try not to make a big deal about it, i guess I felt compelled to comment when I saw that Jaack has the same issues!
ArchezBeCray itâs very weird. I did have it about a year ago because I found a lump on my body, got it checked out and the doctor said it was nothing. That helped me a lot, and I eventually forgot about it. Have you got your checked out?
OCD is such an intriguing disorder because so many people just see it as being kind of paranoid or needing things in order and clean but itâs so so so much more than that
My husband has OCD and counts everything! Even breathing is counted! OCD takes over peoples lives and I wouldn't wish it on anyone
This is great to hear I have health anxiety every day with death myself I convince myself I will have a heart attack or anything. Even though I've been working out and eating better I still feel like I haven't done enough I hope whoever is like this is OK and keep going it's a terrible thought.
you are a great interviewer
ever since i found a lump in my breast around a year ago i have been the exact same. finding lumps all over my body, convincing myself i have breast cancer thatâs now spread and i can bring myself to anxiety attacks over it. death is scary man but iâm glad iâm not alone with the intrusive health anxiety thoughts.
Wow, I think I have health anxiety to some degree after jack mentions it.
Yeah 14 ye mate I have tried to but Iâve been told to get over it(not to a doctor btw)
Its actually mad that, how you can be so conscious of a problem you have with your thoughts and stuff but still struggle with them daily.
This has opened my eyes for some reason, my mum has been having panic attacks for over a year now but I always just brushed them aside, downplaying mental health problems as just being sad or nervous. Ive only watched joe weller before but this Jack guy seems cool, and did a very good job of breaking down his problem and tbh Im gonna go talk to my mum today and apologize about whats shes been through without downplaying it, because it seems like these mental problems can really make you feel lonely if you feel noone understands you.
Love this boys - speak to someone about it â€
