Need help with my neurosis

[Aakash Vijayan]

I was rewatching one of leo's videos " 40 signs you are neurotic" and i had an aha moment that sort of explained everything that was going wrong in my life. But it feels extremely tricky to me now. Meaning i've been this way for so long that i don't know how to be any other way. My situation is sort of like this: Instead of the word "religion" mentioned in the video at any instance, in my version its "actualized.org video content". I have been watching Leo's content all the way from 2013  and have been watching it *drum roll* religiously till present . So while i thought i was advancing in my personal development i was just acquiring ideas and living in denial of reality/present moment for 5 years now. and I have gotten neurotic to such an extent that i've consulted a psychotherapist and she says i have "depressive traits/ episodes". i have almost 85-90% of the signs mentioned  in the videos. (in spite of repeated warnings of not to take these ideas as beliefs in the videos, beause i  thought it didnt apply to me). Now it feels clear as day to me, but i don't know how to go about it now.

Any advice guys?

Well becoming aware of that is the first step to getting past it, do it's definitely progress. Also it's easy to get into negative patterns without even realising so dont be to hard on yourself, I think you're on the right path so just keep building on your awareness

For one hour forget the world as if it exists no more, no newspapers, no radio, no television, no people. You are alone in your innermost being, relaxed, at home.

Keep seeing your therapist.

Well, I think most of us are neurotic, so you’re not alone.

One thing’s for sure: you can’t stop neurosis by being neurotic about it.

You gotta have lots of patience with yourself.

Did you do the affirmations he gave in the end of the video? They are very powerful. Leo also gave some good advice on how to deal with neurosis in a healthy way.

Btw - Psychedelics can help!

Watch some Pema Chodrin videos. She is good at this sort of thing
