ASMR for Anxious, Worrying & Ruminating Minds
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 02. 2017
- Dedicated to those out there who deal with anxiety, worry and rumination, which the more you think about it, is probably 99% if not all of the population at some point in their lives. I start off with some deep breathing and calming hand movements, then finish with the sounds of a few objects, all the while talking about these and other related topics, especially how we can learn to manage them.
Expect more "ASMR for" videos such as: for students, the working class, misanthropes / misanthropists, etc.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect. - Zábava

I see it as a great compliment it isn’t an insult right?
If it’s a compliment I really love it it’s funny lmao
Yup, i am the same way.

Just a 15 year old kid who can’t afford therapy and who’s afraid to express his emotions so he comes here to be told his life has meaning
Edit: 16 now
Your life has meaning
@@cashflush1200 thats ignorant dude he is in the real world and he's fighting
man you're doing great I hope ur well
Just like me, a teenager, we must embrace what we have right now to the fullest. Right now just take in the happiness you have to the most and ask for help if you need it. Hope you’re doing well and I promise things will get better in the future
Im pretty much in the same age range and I just wanna say bro even though you may feel stressed out keep on pushing we’ve got so much ahead of us. Also if you need to talk to someone then my messages are always open hopefully things have gotten better since you’ve posted this but keep going your life is important even if you don’t feel like it is they’re people who need u.
A big comforting hug for all those with pain and worries.
Thank you ☺️
Thank you :)
This is the safe spot of CZcams.
Yvanne _ - ah, I dunno. Have you seen some of his other vids? Some of it gets mighty weird, lol!
The ASMR part of youtube is often weird, lol, but it's usually nice, I'll agree. :)

Nothing to worry about here, not politics, not racism/sexism, not anything. It doesn't matter who you are here as long as your relaxed. 😊😊
TheMurlocKeeper which vids? :)
Couldn't afford therapy or a friend so coming here, my safe spot.
If you need someone to vent to, I'm here.
I am here as well, you are not alone.
Same, I understand

this guy is such a father figure, and that helps me calm down a lot. thank you bro, this helped me a lot just now. this video is kinda old, but where ever you are now, thank you for this
i’m back, even on a different account haha
but im here, a few things have changed, but i caught myself worrying again, so i came here. things have gotten better and worse, but to whoever reads this, things change all the time. what you think may happen in the future may or may not happen. and what you think will be your worst life experience may be something youll be able to handle in the future, because youll have different tools to cope in the future. never judge a situation until after it has happened, you’ll never know. after something has happened, then decide if it was bad or not. you can get through this
@@candalie3176 thank you, this helped at a time where I needed it a lot. ❤️

@@candalie3176 This comment may be old but this touched my weary heart. I nearly cried tbh. I recently discover this video and it calmed me down after a really stressful night of worries. My father's deceased and my mom is not emotionally present. I feel like videos like this, or Ephemeral himself has become sort of a parental comfort to me. It never fails me to calm myself down. Thank you ephemeral. And thank you stranger. Hope you're doing well these days.
I just wanted to say thank you for being such a huge influence in my life. I got introduced to your channel in 2015 with the second ashopalypse video and immediately knew you’d be a favorite, never stop!

Just a young lad, who just failed the most important exam of his life. I can't and quite frankly don't feel comfortable opening up to other people, so I come here every now and then to get comforted by ER and the comment section. I don't know who is going to read this but I hope your life is going well and that all of your dreams and aspirations come true.
I hope yours come true aswell
You too bro
Thank you so much, I hope you are better.
Dear Ephemeral rift, i’m currently awake, because i am scared at night of losing my battle with anorexia. Thank you for this video, it helps me calm down a bit. Much love to you and anyone else who’s scared, anxious or worried about something. I hope better days come to you❤️

This is why E.R. is the best ASMRtist. He cares about his viewers.
SauceTastic McSauce This is why SauceTastic is the best Sauce. It cares about its Consumers.
I heard about some controversy regarding E.R. Apparently he's an ego maniac? And he also has trouble collaborating with others.That's why he doesn't do it a whole lot. I just heard this from someone. I don't have the time to look this up to see if it's true. So if someone *else* would like to see if this is true or inform me, that would be great. Happy tingles! ^_^

Don’t share it on yt full of strangers and fuckers u dont know, go deal with it with someone or guys u trust coz tbh no one has any room for any more problems and especially problems some random dude has on yt we all already has enough stress as it is
@@BlackLungSlinger this channel is literally a safe space for people to share their feelings, especially on videos like this and i have a feeling you’re projecting, it’s okay to talk about how you feel
11/14 lately life feels so scary and anxious. I feel alone. I hope this video helps :) will update when I’m in a better place and listening to this video
Right!?, life feels really scary and ive been thinking about it a lot recently

As soon as I try to sleep I start thinking about a thousand stressful things I'm dealing with it I feel like my mind is buzzing so loudly? If that makes sense
How can you go to bed an then not got to bed till later, the acid will wear off and it will be okay
I was very close to fainting, for no reason! I swear I don't know what to do anymore.
Breathing and thinking gets very hard, I'm very fit, eat healthy, but this anxiety man. It sucks.
I just need people yknow? I hope whoever is reading this doesn't feel alone, thousands of us understand very damn well.
We care.
And if you do consider make sure you get a nice relaxing one like an indica or hybrid but sativa can also work really well cause they give you a head high so it will replace the anxiety with euphoria and happiness and you will completely forget about why you are anxious
Your awesome man
Derpadork and yea deff look into smoking weed haha it’s great
just dont get addicted
I use medical marijuana daily for my anxiety and although it did wonders for me in the the beginning, now my tolerance has made it hard to achieve the same calming effects, however it still does help and I would recommend trying it. There are some strains that can induce anxiety though, so do your research!
I have separation anxiety and can't stand when my dad leaves to go to the store so I watched this and felt so safe and comforted and went to sleep and when I woke up, my dad was back home! Thank you so much
I get this way too and never really thought about it before but now I kind of want to bring it up to my parents
Never thought I could feel "normal" again when it comes to my anxiety, at least without meditation or by sleeping. So grateful!
"What's worked for me is not watching the news."

Tell me about it. #LasVegas
It really helps to avoid the news. For a long time I was kinda "addicted" to click the "news"-button on the internet (I don't watch tv) and it made me feel I was going crazy. It does help to just reduce the use of the news-button
actually it's better than it used to be, it's just that everything gets reported now due to more laws, less bigotry and more surveillance:)

Man I've been a fan for years and this one really helps me stay grounded. Especially now I almost had a panic attack just from overwhelming my mind and overthinking about the past, the future etc. It's nice to know we all have similar experiences and we are able to get through it. Stay awesome keep making great content!
Same!
I'm going into yr 10 soon and I was really struggling during quarantine as I was suffering with depression and anxiety. I didnt focus on school and have a lot it missed assignments. This really helped so I thank you with quite literally my life
I've went through a similar thing, just remember that everything will be okay, your teachers are there to help you, not everyone deals with situations the same way as others do, the fact that you took that time to deal with your problems is a good thing, just keep pushing foward and remember that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, I believe in you ❤️
@@martingraham5879 bro that's kind ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yo I totally get it I’m in year 11 right now and I have so many overdue assignments I feel like I’m drowning in them. I’m scared all my teachers are literally going to throw rulers at me when I go back to school in 2 weeks. I know it sounds like a lie but it does get better and then it might get worse but then it will get better again. What goes down must come up. You can’t be happy without being sad.
@@phoebs6184 tysm! thats actually so wise 😂💙💙💙
Damn that Headspace ad is so loud
XD that's happens to me when watching ASMR. I turn the volume up super loud and then an ad comes 🤣

Something about him makes me wanna hug him. I am having a anxiety filled day, I was sexually harassed for 3 years and I am worried it will happen again. I’m only 11 kids my age have no worries. This is so calming and stress reliving
Im so so sorry you had to experience this
:( Have you talked about this to any adult you trust? This is really serious, and they are not gonna judge you at all. Remember, this is not your fault
i'm so sorry that appened to you :( please don't blame yourself and try talking about it! if there's an adult in your life you trust please reach out to them. that behavior is not ok and never should be tolerated. i hope you're doing ok now, remember how much you matter ❤!!
I’m so sorry to hear that this happened to you :((. you are so loved and so important? have you told anyone (a trusted adult or friend)? I want to tell you that God loves you so much and he is with you right now in this scary time.

I used to listen to this video daily a few years ago when things were really difficult.. it’s easier to manage now, but every now and then I’ll find myself coming back to this video for help. Long way of saying, thank you ♥️

Sorry to hear that bro but sometimes is for the best as hard as it sounds is better to have a father or mother who are always fighting or drinking or doing stupid shit I can relate to that but hey!! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger 🙄👍👍
Thank u. I have been dealing with anxiety for five years now, and it has been pretty shitty. The point that nobody appears to understand what it is and tend to minimize the problem, makes it more difficult. Hearing u say all those nice things, makes me feel understood for the first time. So, thank u. It really helps knowing that you're not alone
I always come back to this specific video, it’s my comfort video.
Too real
I don't know why, but I started crying during the intro. The idea of someone actually caring about this and wanting to take care of it made me really emotional for some reason. Thank you, ER. I really needed this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

Been feeling so nauseous all the time due to my anxiety about quarantine and my constant worry about getting sick, this is always my go to. It doesn’t stop it, but it definitely helps better then other asmrists I know.
i was having an anxiety attack last night and i couldn't calm myself down so being the asmr lover i am, i searched up "anxiety asmr" and this video popped up. i put myself into bed and popped my headphones in and did the breathing exercises with you and then just listened really hard with my eyes closed then i don't remember anything after that, other than, i woke up so calm and peaceful so thank you so much for this video!
I looked up how to cope asmr
audrey bentancour I get anxious about falling asleep to asmr so can’t relate 😂 I live in a house with my family so I’m afraid they’d know I watch this stuff
God bless you girly!💞
I had an anxiety attack yesterday. I feel anxiety for getting another anxiety attack since the first one felt so awful. I just pulled up this video in hope to remain calm.
mental health is serious. me myself i have paranoia, anxiety and depression and it’s sincerely hard to cope with all. i hope you’re all doing well. do not live by others standards. you can do anything you set your mind to. never bottle your feelings, let your mind out and seek help. it’s okay to not to be okay, it’s never okay to not get help for it.
PHANTM ASH Using this to distract myself from paranoia right now, I feel you
get help!! it's not at all okay to be not okay.. the natural satte of a human being is to be okay.. GET HELP!

i keep coming back to this video at different points in my life. recently i've been dealing with a lot of severe medical issues and feeling very at war with my body and mind. appreciating this video on a new level today. thank you.
this is exactly what i do omg. i keep a record with replies to a comment i made lol
i used to always rewatch this when i was 11-12, when i was wayy too young to be going thru depression and anxiety and especially insomnia. i tried everything to sleep; counting sheep, naming all my classmates from first grade to right now, melatonin, but, when i found this video, and this channel- id instantly feel calm and knock out 😭 but it came to a day my mom took my phone because i wrote in my diary i wanted to execute myself and i couldnt sleep without this 💀 ive just recently turned 16 and im going thru this cycle again. im drifting to sleep as im typing this. ure my savior 😭😭
This honestly helped me quite a lot, which is rare! Normally videos like this I use for regular relaxation and to de-stress, but this really helped with a bit of anxiety that has been building up for me over finances and other things I really can't help with more than I already have. Thank you! :)
I never thought lathland would be in asmr since he like to blow up stuff, amazing how small the internet is...

You are a golden man and I appreciate you very much
The girl I love continues to play with my heart and then leaves me once again I can't stop thinking about it every day, every night, in my dreams and the first thing I think about when I wake up. Love is pain and these videos are the only thing that helps thank you.
jayPV1721 i just wanted to say that you should really try to leave. I know it’s not so easy and you clearly care about her, and i’m not trying to hurt you, but she’s clearly manipulating you. Loving relationships don’t constantly make you feel like shit.

Hello. I’ve been watching this video for years now, coming back to it many time during stressful time. It still has the same effect on me, I feel at peace here, like everything stopped for a moment. I remember the first time I watched this it was before my first year of highschool. I was so stressed. Now i’m in College. Thank you so much for making this safe place.
Yup. How times have changed and this vid always helps.
See, I wish there were more asmr videos like this. I cant stand whispering. It messes with me. Just having someone talk to me in a calm voice helps. Thats what I want. Im happy this exists. Thank you
i know this is a little late but try soft spoken asmr :)
@@Dogfreythanks man
Uncle E, I really appreciate it that you made a video about anxiety and humbly thank you for it because I am going through a very difficult time right now and sometimes I even think that I'm going crazy and your advice has really helped me see my life from a different angle, you are easily one of the most relatable people I know and again thank you for your great videos and great wisdom and I hope you live a healthy and happy life
DaDopeMasta i personally just stopped feeling bad. Maybe i went through a bit much when i was a child.

how did this go for you? Did you keep the job?

I find myself coming back to this one a lot, especially during these times. Thank you for all you do.
"Bills, job, future" no I'm just ugly and that makes me anxious
😩😩😂😂
people would rather have good confidence than good looks
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has anxiety over my looks...
I worry people will tell me I look tired.
Or they'll tell me "you look nice today" confirming I did/do look like crap
I haven't slept in over a year and it's fucking with my mind and to add insult to injury, i look like shit. I wish sleep had 0 impact on our looks. As if being sleep deprived isn't enough. I had something traumatic happen to me and now I can't sleep
I worry because it gives me more anxiety about sleep and that people are noticing...
Same my shitty looks give me anxiety and depression
I came here, because I couldn't calm myself down after I started sobbing in the middle of the night 'cause o my Grandma's loss... it's been a month after we lost her but theres something in the first month anniversary that just broke me... thank you
Hey ER, i know I’m about 4 years late but I really appreciate what you talked about in this video. The advice, perspective, and your personal experiences really helped me out. I’ve been really stressed with school and all, so listening to what you said really did help. Thanks!
I'm crying and it hasn't even been 5 minutes, thank you I really love this and you as a person...

@VIP no need for the negativity, my friend
I’ve been overthinking the meaning of life and I’ve been constantly thinking about life and how we’re all gonna sooner or later be dead and it makes me really sad that I won’t be able to hold on to my mom for the rest of my life and it just makes me really really sad and have anxiety and this kinda helped thank you E.R😞❤️I really owe to you
pineapple thanks I am thinking better I’m about to graduate from high school so it’s a big step forward for me but I’d started to realize that to just say fuck it and do what you wanna do in life thanks for the motivational words🙏🏽
Angelo Iafelice I will thank you for the support
I also used to think about the meaning of life and concluded that we are all like cogs made to keep society running, as a cog is fine on its own but becomes so much better with more cogs. Some cogs are disfigured, maybe fixable maybe not. Doesn't mean they're broken, just different. They won't be able to fit in a lot of places anymore, but may be able to fit in certain others, with time. Or I could say that my religion is why we live, to live lives of happiness whilst working to be good people and giving up some of our time to acknowledge God, but many may not relate to that so I often thought about it in different ways and so came up with the cog system. The cog system isn't bad, per se, because cogs get hot and melt and wear down, so they need to be swapped in and out when needed.
Heck bro I started crying half way through reading your comment because I have the same problem
sounds like existential crisis?maybe?
The past two weeks I've been suffering with such a profound anxiety over the fact that, one day, I'll be dead. It's the eventual loss of my sentience that makes it worse and the thoughts are horrendously intrusive. I fell asleep with this on, and woke this morning in an immediate state of panic over those intrusive thoughts. But this is helping me enough to stay afloat.
Think of it like this. when you die, yes it may be scary and you’ll be afraid, but once you’re gone, you won’t know about it. You won’t have to fear it because you won’t know your dead :) I hope I helped
I know this video was made in 2017 but this video has calmed me down due to a bad major panic attack from medication. Appreciate it
I hope you’re doing okay brother, stay strong 🍻
11:25 I'm so glad he laughed at the accidental police lyric I did
That song is so gd creepy fr 😂
Dear Rift,
I was going through so much around 2 years ago. I was constantly anxious and sad. I found this video and cried because I felt so reassured and, well, lighter, because of you. I still come back here whenever I feel hopeless, then wake up feeling way better.
Thank you so much, truly! 🥺💘
I’m not anxious at the moment but for people that are, I know it sucks and maybe because something is coming up that you are nervous for. The way I fix it is if there’s nothing you can do about it to change it (like first day of school or doctors appointment) Just forget about it because in the end you will still have to do it and at the end of it you will be glad you did it 🙂
Yeahhhh sooo i guess you don't know this, so I'll inform you that it's definitely not that easy. If it were that easy to just "not think about it", anxiety wouldn't even be a thing. If you're ever dealing with an anxious loved one, please don't tell them "just don't think about it", because it's literally infuriating and of no help whatsoever. I'm not being rude, just trying to inform you that that's the worst "encouraging" thing you can possibly say to someone who's going through a panic attack. Lol
@@nunyabidness6045 obviously I know that but what am I supposed to do I’m not a therapist
That cube is dying to be solved
Donkey Kong same honestly
He's the leader of the bunch
omg now i cant relax thx i didn't see that 😂
I keep staring at it
im tired of havig anxiety every single day and not telling anyone or doing anything about it
How are u now Sophie?
Me too....hope you’re doing ok
Shes already dead srry
Do you know what a joke is?
Veltha let’s not joke about those things. Ik you meant no harm but anything can be triggering
Dear Ephemeral Rift,
You may not see or read any of this, but you are a godsend on my nights when I can't sleep. I have a bad case of intrusive thought and mild hallucination induced insomnia; this isn't diagnosed but what I'm seeing likes to taunt at the edge of my vision and I seem to find some form of evil or threat in everything.
But then there's you, and I know it's cheesy, but you're like a light in the dark on these nights, especially videos like these. Your voice, your demeanor, and just your personality is so soothing and I feel relaxed before even five minutes in. Thank you, so so much, I didn't think I'd be sleeping tonight but here you are. I can't thank you enough for what you do, even if you don't realize what an impact this makes for me.
- Best Regards and Sweetest Wishes, Ezra Nicklay
This video made me cry. I had been struggling with this problem for not too long, but these past few days, felt like an eternity. I had been worrying about my future, my siblings future, my parents future, everyone who I hold dearly. I had been scared about where I would live, where would I work, where would this go? I am still a child, but I always think about what my future holds, even when I'm not there yet, idk if anyone else has the same problem as me, but it makes me a bit happy to know I'm not alone. I could never imagine losing someone, but the thought of it happening is scary, I love my grandparents, but I know they will leave me as I get older, the fear of waiting for that is so horrible. But with this video, I feel like I could cope with these feelings. (Sorry this was long!)
Thank you for sharing, today i gave my cat (which i love with my entire body) to another person because my dad doesn't want to bring the cat home becausr i refused to go to a medical university and because i wanted to follow my dream, in programming. So yeah...i am suffering very hard because i did the right thing...i hate life so much:"(
Totally understand. Literally cant ever stop thinking about the future and it stops me from enjoying the present. I think it’s a control thing for me and the only way I feel in control of my anxiety is by giving myself more anxiety over things I can’t control. Life is weird and the future will be what it will be.
You’re the most human ASMRtist out there and hideously underwatched.
I’ve watched plenty of these stress videos and no one feels more genuine than ER.
I'm crying because this video is like a comforting hug and my day sucked thank you so much ER
im having so much trouble with grief and struggling to eat lately, hearing you say “sometimes i feel like my mind is cursed” it immediately made me feel relaxed and heard, just knowing someone feels the way i feel in this hard time.
i have terrible anxiety issues as well as overthinking issues. it ruins my relationships with others due to attachment issues due to trauma. and i don’t want my boyfriend to get sick of me due to it, so i’m relying on youtube videos to help me calm down so i can sleep. thank you for this.
Do you have a therapist
@@cxphrz yes.
coming back to this. my relationship is now over and has been for three months. i am doing so much better, but i am back because i’m stressing about exams. :)
@@keyaunna. hey how was your exams?
@@Annavslv they went very very well!! i am now graduated out of high school and in community college for my dream career :)
I love Rift's roleplays, but videos like these feel so genuine... Like, he takes the time to put on the outfits and plan out videos, but he also takes the time to show us himself and I think that's a really, really awesome thing. This is probably the most genuine ASMR video I've ever watched, and I love that. Thank you, Rift!
Exactly, it's the genuine videos like these that resonate the most
I rlly hope every1 is doing ok
Jessica Landwehr Thank you, it's ten months later but I hope you're doing okay too😊
Almost a year later but hey I am not ok lmao- but that's anyways
Hey person in the past, 2017 was a really sucky year, just a heads up!
tegwen archer a month late but 2018 is looking too good either
Nice pfp homeboi
3 years later and i still come back to this video and it helps every time
Having anxiety worrying about my future, and needed this. Thank you.
You’re going to turn out just fine! Keep going, but also rest when needed. 🥹
Let this video not distract you from the fact the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead.
lol
LukasOfficial Let this comment not also distract you that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead...
King Kay let that and the other comment not distract you that the Indians blew a 3-1 lead
LukasOfficial I know absolutely nothing about sports that means nothing to me
Kevin Auditore Nothing at all? About *any* sports? Not even European Football?
Feeling better now. Thank you Dr. Strange. 🙌🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg! 🤣🤣
I read that like you said it sooo casually 😂, this comment is great haha
He really did do some magic. I feel way better
Lol
5 years later and I find myself in a position for the first time where I really needed a video like this and I appreciate your calming presence and everything you have to say. Thanks :)
Its crazy that a man I've never actually met or spoke to has seriously saved my from my own demons many times
Your hair and beard at this point look sick as fuck with the perfect amount of grey dusting. On point brother.
I really love these more "real" talks with you, and i found myself watching this one several times for more than just the relaxation.
Khyronic Well thank you very much !
Ephemeral Rift Hello!
Khyronic you have dad issues grow the fuck up
Greg Dude
Lmao wtf did Khyronic hurt you?
@@gregdude3 hey man ... we’re all in the same boat ya know
thank you... thank you so much.. I am having a terrible panic attack right now and it won't go away but this video is helping a lot.. Thank you so much. you're such a great man sir.
Worrying a lot about my course load this semester. It’s 1am right now. I have therapy tomorrow. I’m just now getting to know my dad and it’s an emotional roller coaster. imagining ER as a dad giving a comforting Pep talk is really helping. Not hard to picture since he’s a dad himself. Thanks ER for being a present father and making these videos.
Personally, this was exactly what I needed. My body has been riddled and shredded with anxiety this past week, more so than average. I was just so in need of this kind of empathy and understanding, thank the gods for this perfectly-timed upload. Many thanks to you, from one human being to another.
I needed this on this fuckin monday.
lol, what a coincidence!
FlorensEmile oh man
czcams.com/video/RJa2wSRdvZ4/video.html
FlorensEmile exactly. Its Monday here. midnight.
Hey u reading this…I love you and you matter so please keep going I promise everything will be better♡
🥺💞 thank u, I needed this 🙏🏻🌈💞
i was having so much anxiety today that i was panicking for hours just lying in bed. i was exhausted but couldn't sleep. i kept trying to count backwards from 100 and could only get to 90 before my mind began freaking out. It felt crippling and embarrassing. I'm finally up and getting work done with this in the background... it's helping immensely. Thank you. And thank you for your vulnerability throughout the video as you share your personal experiences and pains with us.
