This is dumb, for example, if you hate everyone, eat, that has objective truth to it. Your chemistry changes when you are hungry, which makes you more irritated, it can spike your cortisol and etc,

I suspect trying to write stuff about yourself is pretty helpful, but only if you’re already mostly emotionally healthy. Otherwise I would expect it to make you worse.
On the intelligence stuff, I’ve gotten the impression a lot of factoids get spread by people who want to see themselves as intelligent and then project.

Its so dumb to have AI turn disorders into bedrooms, but you know what would be cool and actually informative would be doing photoshoots of people’s rooms/homes who have these disorders so that people can see more what it’s like. The emptiness of the room of someone who’s scared they’ll be thrown away again due to C-PTSD. The orderliness of a person’s room who is afraid of misplacing things due to absentmindedness that comes with their ADHD. That’s what I would like to see. I think it would be enlightening for most people how others adapt to cope with their brains.

@miloskvakic1
September 11, 2026 at 9:42 am
I keep thinking about the idea behind The Mind I Became — that some things we call personality might just be patterns we’ve repeated for so long they started feeling like us. Has anyone read it?
@miloskvakic1
September 11, 2026 at 9:42 am
The Mind I Became caught my attention because it seems to ask a pretty simple but uncomfortable question: how much of who you are today did you actually choose?
@miloskvakic1
September 11, 2026 at 9:42 am
I’ve been seeing The Mind I Became by Cal Hollins lately. The idea that we can mistake old reactions and learned patterns for our actual personality is what made me curious about it.
@miloskvakic1
September 11, 2026 at 9:42 am
What interested me about The Mind I Became is that it seems less focused on changing yourself and more focused on understanding why you became this particular version of yourself.

I have inattentive ADHD, and I have to say, it’s not that I CAN’T pay attention. I mean, sometimes my attentiveness drifts, yes, but sometimes, I’m totally paying attention, but information just doesn’t stick in my brain, so sometimes I need information to be repeated. Not because I didn’t understand it, not because I wasn’t paying attention, but just because my brain didn’t hold onto it.

The SSRI video near the start lists some SNRIs. So they couldn’t even get that right.

0:57 ugh!!!! That video is based on set production mantra. It’s not supposed to be a mental health mantra. It’s just supposed to keep people out of their head and focused on their job. Basically, if you have a feeling everyone hates you, they don’t. You’re probably just tired, thirsty, or hungry. Go take a break.

I hate mental health misinformation. Some people on social media say that turning things in early is a sign that you don’t have ADHD. That is oversimplified, and it is different for everyone. I sometimes turn things in early, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t override my diagnosis, or the other traits I have.

So some people don’t even know they are anxious until there is a physical symptom. I experienced a migraine that lasted for months without relief. I saw a neurologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist and no relief. I was having blackouts of time. Then they used an anti anxiety medication. Headache was gone in a week or two. I also saw a therapist who helped me sort them through what my anxiety was triggered by (my oldest child had gone to college). But it was actually a lifelong anxiety that I had been masking and coping with stimming for years. Thank you for doing this information and debunking.

Okay, funny thing. Before this video is played I got an AI ad of the IQ test for “9 Types of Intelligent”, I thought it was part of the video but then I noticed the yellow bar and skipped right away. It cut into the start of the video saying, “That makes no sense whatsoever!” What a coincidence!
@guyfawkes8873
September 13, 2026 at 7:31 am
6:01 – Or someone with autism who can’t intuit how other people will respond, something that… often leads to anxiety x) But I don’t imagine that really changes with intelligence. I would simply assume that the built scenarios got more elaborate with intelligence.
@_teruru
September 13, 2026 at 8:26 am
I am unfortunately someone with ADHD who may be sensitive to stimulants.
Currently taking adderall and it makes me a little anxious and uncomfy at the current dosage I’m taking it at, BUT if i lessen the dosage, I clock out way too fast which is not good. I will be changing it to a different medication (Vyvanse) so hopefully that will help 🙏🏼
I will laugh if stimulants really is too much for me cause it now makes so much more sense why I didn’t like it as a kid and even refused to take the meds.

15:00 can people grow out of OCD on their own? I remember when I was younger I’d have this thing where anything that happened on my left side I’d want to do on my right side and vis versa. Like, if I stubbed my toe I’d kick my other toe into the wall so it would be equal, (I don’t know if this would even count or if I was just a little weird) however, I don’t have that same urge anymore or for the last few years at least, and I’ve never been checked out about it because I never thought to have brought it up

I’ve heard the phrase “If you feel like you hate everyone, eat. If you feel like everyone hates you, drink water. If you feel like you hate yourself, shower” before, and it’s KIND OF useful in a roundabout way since when you’re in a depressive mood you DO often neglect to eat, drink water, and shower. It doesn’t necessarily help the feelings but it does help you take care of yourself!

BPD sufferer here: Yes! I do have alot of bad dreams, nightmares, frustration dreams. Even as a small child. A small child should *not* be dreaming about extreme blood and gore, which I still remember to this day. I dream a fair amount about emergencies whereby I yell for help as loud as I can in the dream, or I can’t move to get away. Others have heard me. Most recently I woke up yelling during a bad dream about an ex.
Did not know that tidbit but it’s not surprising at all.

I thought I had another blister pack of my sertraline once. I did not. I wasn’t able to get to the chemist for two days. It was horrible 🤢 It felt like there was something buzzing all over my skin, I was dizzy and faint, and felt so sick

I hate when people look down on medications. They’re not for some people but for others it is life saving. It’s the difference between me functioning and not functioning. Between having fun with my husband or crying in bed and worrying him. Wanting to die and wanting to live. I’ll take that, no matter who thinks I’m weak.

6:16 – Interesting how he says it’s normal for people to go back to conversations they had during the day and ruminate on things, because it’s become very popular on the internet to say that’s a sign of autism, and that neurotypical people never do that, that they just “move on with their lives”. That always felt wrong to me.

I personally, have Asperger’s syndrome (autism spectrum disorder), inattentive ADHD, and severe anxiety. I take Paroxetine for my anxiety (and have had antidepressant withdrawal episodes when I’ve either run out of Paroxetine or have forgotten to take them, which I don’t recommend doing without consulting your doctor first), Focalin XR (the “XR” part means that it lasts longer in my system) for my inattentive ADHD, and Calcium.

i think the videos good overall but please end the video differently?? 😭 it kind of sounds like the mans implying that ai is a good resource if you cant access or afford professional mental health services. ITS NOT 😭 like anythings better than ai. even dwelling in your own depression and loneliness, cause at least youre not degrading your intelligence and skills by using ai. its just not healthy to use ai for mental or emotional wellness at all. idk if this was intentional but it seemed really weird

When speaking, actually listen to what you say, as this opens a feedback loop, allowing your brain to futher process its thinking.
This is why speaking to yourself out loud can be quite benfeficial at times.

A none hypervigilant person considers the possibility of a threat perhaps once a day. (Isn’t life better now than in the past? 😉
A hypervigilant person considers the possibility of a threat a hundred times a day.
This means that by sheer numbers, the hypervigilant person will see more actual threats than a none hypervigilant person.
This does not mean that a hypervigilant person is more intelligent, or more capable of correctly concluding that a threat is present.
With the obvious caviat that practice increase skill. The larger the sample size, the larger patterns can be seen.

People using AI for mental health treatment need to be careful. AI reflects back what it thinks you want to hear and in several cases now people have been told to harm themselves and given instruction on how to do just that. Call 988 in the US or your countries help line to find treatment don’t use AI.

“The organs of the body found themself in an argument about who really was in charge.

When after a while the as*hole started to say something, every organ immidiately reasponded with a “_shut up_ “. After being quiet for a week, the as*hole was unanimously elected.”

The complex trauma survivor thing made me mad. I’m not a superhero because I’ve been abused, I’m scared to talk to people unless someone I already trust introduced me because I perceive everything as unsafe. I have DID, which is an example of trauma being so horrible that it completely fragments who you are to mentally survive it. The only thing “super” about me is that I’m still here. Also, I kinda get what the idea with the DID bedroom was but fully agree with the take about it. Everyone has different sides to themselves, it would have made more sense for it to have walls between each different area or something along those lines.

On the topic of SSRIs; if you have anxiety and depression and even slightly suspect you might have adhd, ask your doctor about an adhd screening. Anxiety and depression could be caused by adhd, and using an ssri to treat those unecessarily can make anxiety worse, and not even help the depression. I made that mistake for 14 months and couldnt figure out what was wrong with me. When I finally figured it out, i quit my ssri and got on adderall. I feel myself again. So if youre struggling with SSRIs, thats something to consider.

another thing with these AI videos (and pop psychology content in general) is that they tend to paint certain, slightly more palatable disorders, as though they’re actually superpowers in disguise, and other disorders with less “pretty” symptoms are demonized and treated as though anyone with that condition must be an emotionless monster.
