I'm Sorry, But If You're Hearing This Now, It's Happening to You! You're in Big Trouble

[00:02] talking to yourself a lot when you're alone, as if someone is in the room with you, and your mind creates stories and scenarios that you experience and are deeply affected by, then please drop everything and watch this video. In this episode, I'll explain why this happens to you. Why is your mind always responsible for

[00:15] thinking about situations that aren't real, or that might be real but you didn't react appropriately? Someone bothered you and you didn't respond, so your mind starts creating terrible scenarios. These scenarios might not even be real, like imagining that your future lover cheated on you and you saw

[00:30] it with your own eyes, breaking your heart, and you find yourself believing it, maybe even crying, even though it's not real. Do you have Gauss's syndrome, as some call it? And could this lead to schizophrenia? You'll find out all of this right now in this video, but it's important that you watch this episode

[00:44] until the end because I'll tell you about the treatment I found after... I've been dealing with this topic for five years now. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Good evening, friends. May God judge between us and our people with truth, for You are the best of judges. This episode is probably one of the strangest I've ever done. There's a

[00:59] girl who's been writing to me for about two years now in the comments on every video, "Shehab, make a video about Joska's syndrome!" Even though I didn't know what this syndrome was, her incredible persistence made me curious, and I wanted to know what

[01:12] Joska's syndrome is. So, I hope this episode reaches her because she was so insistent that I make it. Anyway, during the past month, I've been researching this topic, and what I 've discovered, guys, is how terrifying this subject is. During the past month, I've read all the

[01:25] research and studies and watched all the videos that talk about this syndrome. And I'll give you a because of it. Anyway, putting aside the terminology, if you feel like you're daydreaming most of the time... And you get lost, whether in class, at home, on public transport, or anywhere else.

[01:40] You find yourself constantly talking to yourself when you're alone, as if someone is sitting with you in the room. Sometimes your voice gets louder, and you get so angry that you might bump into something or hit something with your hand because of a scenario that might be just a figment of your imagination. For example, something you did wrong and can't accept, or you

[01:54] were put in a certain situation where you should have reacted clearly and decisively, but you didn't. So you imagine the situation in your mind: "I wish I had done this," "I wish I had responded this way," or "I wish I had hit him." Then you imagine that you did respond and hit him, and then he hit you, and you did this and that.

[02:07] You find that your adrenaline surges, your heart races, and you get angry as if you were actually in the situation, even though none of this happened in your imagination. Or, this might happen because of unreal scenarios, like imagining that you... You got married or got engaged to a girl, and she cheated on

[02:21] you. No, not just cheated on you, she cheated on you right in front of your eyes, in the scenario you created in your mind. Inside that scenario, your heart aches. How could you do that? Your friends betrayed you, your parents died in a terrible accident, your future wife cheated on you, or a criminal harassed her while you were out

[02:35] with her. You get lost in these fantasies and find yourself upset, sad, affected, and angry, even though none of this is real and didn't happen. If what I'm describing is happening to you, please drop everything and give me your full attention because I'm going to explain the root of

[02:50] this issue and why it's happening to you. Most importantly, I'm going to show you how to completely put an end to it. If this story I'm telling you hadn't happened right in front of me and with someone I know, I swear to God, even if someone swore to me that something like this happened to a human being, I would never have believed it. And I know that

[03:05] Something like this, and I'm about to tell you about it, might be something most of the people listening to this episode are hearing for the first time in their lives, but I swear it happened. Now pay close attention to what I'm about to say. About four years ago, around this time, it was the beginning of winter, and the

[03:18] weather was starting to get cold. I remember that day. I was up late; it was about 2:30 in the morning. Everyone in the house was asleep, and I was the only one awake. I had my phone in my room, scrolling through social media. I was bored, switching from

[03:30] Facebook to Instagram. While I was scrolling, a friend sent me a message, so I opened WhatsApp and replied. Like any normal person, I opened his WhatsApp stories and scrolled through them. I'll never forget that moment in my life. I still

[03:43] remember it like it happened yesterday. It was the third I was scrolling through a story on my feed when I came across one from a girl who used to time. I absolutely can't say her name, but it started with the

[03:55] letter "B" (you can guess). Anyway, the story opened, and honestly, guys, I was so shocked and terrified by what I saw that my phone fell from my hand. I kept checking a million times if the picture I saw in the story was real or not, because I'm a

[04:08] million percent sure it was posted by mistake, or maybe I should have hidden it and not turned it on. But before I tell you what a horrible sight it was, I want to tell you about my relationship with this girl about exactly four and a half years ago. I had applied for a job

[04:21] at a company—I won't mention its name in the video—but I went to this company one day after university for an interview. The interview went well, everything was fine, they told me, God willing, we'll call you in two days. And indeed, two days passed and I found a strange number

[04:33] ringing my phone. Hello, good evening, Shehab. I answered, I said good evening, yes, who is this? I'm HR so-and-so from such-and-such company, and congratulations, so you met me and I was very happy. And when does the job start? God willing, the first day will be tomorrow. Okay, the job starts tomorrow and that's it. So the next day,

[04:47] work. Of course, I didn't know anyone, so I entered through the door of the floor where I was supposed to work. Everyone was sitting team leader who was there, where is my office that I'm supposed to work in? So

[05:00] she pointed to an office at the end of the floor where people were working. So, whose office is this? Yes, this girl, the one from the story I was just talking about, from the moment I saw her, guys, I felt like something was off. To be honest, when I first

[05:13] saw her, she was very helpful, wanting to show me how my job worked and what to do, since I was still new. But I had this feeling something was off. Her appearance and style were kind of strange to me. I mean, let me describe it: her hair was so short, you'd think you were sitting

[05:27] with a boy. She had a lot of piercings in her nose, ears, and all over her face. It was a bit odd. Besides, her clothes were a bit like a boy's. Of course, that's her taste, it's none of my business, and everyone's free to wear what they want. It's not my concern at all, but I'm just telling you

[05:41] my first impression. Anyway, a month passed, and I got to know a lot of colleagues there. And, given the nature of the work, it was possible One of your colleagues sends you a my colleagues used to send me such things. So, whoever sends you something,

[05:54] you save their number to find out who is sending it to you. So, who among them sent me the PDF file on WhatsApp? Yes, that girl, so I saved the number and I didn't think about it . Now focus from the beginning here. After I registered this girl's number, I opened Facebook normally and found that a Facebook account appeared

[06:08] . The account that appeared to me was very strange; it had a picture of my female colleague that I told you about. This is normal, but what wasn't normal was that the account was in a boy's name. Of course, as a normal human being, the first thing that came to my mind was that this account might be in

[06:21] her father's name or the account of someone from her family. But when I went to that account and looked through it, I was even more surprised. The account seemed to belong to someone who wasn't very old, and the problem was that most of the comments on the posts or pictures on that account were from people with the same style as this girl—they all had shaved their heads and pierced all over their

[06:36] faces. So the first thing that came to mind was that this was a fake account someone had created in this girl's name, and it would cause her a lot of trouble, especially since all the comments addressed the account owner using masculine pronouns. So obviously, it was a boy, right? Unfortunately, no. When I went to message this girl,

[06:50] I told her that someone had created a fake or strange account in her name. The girl saw the message as soon as Then I saw her wait a bit and she didn't reply. After about fifteen or twenty minutes, I saw her typing, and then the typing stopped. She kept deleting what I had written and the typing, and then she deleted and

[07:05] the typing stopped. And then she wiped away the love, but she didn't explain. The next day at what had happened. I didn't understand. I went to work to look for her, but she didn't come. The same thing happened the disappearing a lot, so the whole thing made me wonder and almost certain that something had happened to her.

[07:21] mutual colleague, so I told him what had happened. He said, " Why are you surprised? She does much stranger things." I didn't understand, so I asked him, "

[07:34] of our colleagues saw her standing on the stairs alone, talking to herself loudly. There was another person standing with her, and he told me she was talking like a boy." I said, "Oh my God! Are you serious or joking?" The guy swore to it, and I was surprised. The problem is that the girl stayed away for a

[07:47] my mind at the time was that maybe this girl has a mental illness or some kind of personality disorder. May God heal her. I tried to ignore it, and one day passed, then another, then a week, then another, and then the day I told you about came. I was holding my phone at 2:30 in the morning, at the beginning of winter,

[08:02] scrolling through WhatsApp when the story popped up. And that's when, I swear to God, I was shocked. I know that many people might not believe what I saw in this picture because it's something disgusting and very, very strange in reality, but that's not my point. I could tell you what I saw in the middle or at the end of the

[08:16] episode, but what I saw in this picture confirmed to me that this girl is behaving like a boy. What is she behaving like? Does she even see herself as a boy? This made me wonder and ask myself, is it possible for someone to be so detached from reality? And why would someone keep talking to themselves out loud when they're

[08:30] alone? When I started asking myself these questions, I actually began I'm worried because I personally do something similar. I'm the type of person who might talk to myself when I'm alone. Is that wrong? Could I really have Joska syndrome, as they

[08:42] say? Someone might say, "Shehab, just because you talk to yourself a couple of times, does that mean you have Joska syndrome?" If you knew what I go through, you'd know I'm literally being destroyed. My mind is constantly working, it never stops, literally. I'm so overthinking, I'm totally oversinking. I

[08:57] course, and the instructor is standing right in front of me, the only one talking, and I can't even hear my own thoughts. My own thoughts are louder than the instructor's voice, the only one speaking isolate myself from people, from reality, and just sit there, lost in my thoughts. I imagine, for example, a girl

[09:13] I saw while crossing the street, and I imagine that I fell in love with her, and I imagine that I want to... Spend time with her, my love. I could imagine, guys, that I married her and we're living the best days of our lives together until one day I see her cheating on me. I see her with my own eyes in another man's arms. She breaks my heart. Then I

[09:27] wake up and realize that all of this was just my imagination. I realize that it was all a fantasy scenario I was building in my mind, and I feel intense anger and anxiety in my heart as if what I imagined actually happened to me. I could imagine many bad scenarios like this and be

[09:41] deeply affected by them. I could imagine scenarios like my friends betraying me, my parents having an accident and dying, me failing my exams, my future being ruined and wasted, especially if I feel I'm not performing well or at the required level during this period. It's a vicious cycle, my friend. Look, the thinking never ends. And when I opened up,

[09:56] Google search, and it told me I have Joska syndrome, right? You're a real pro, my friend! You came up with this stuff! Where did you get this from? You described me exactly! What you said is happening to me, and it's bothering me and affecting my life, and I don't know what to do. So, you know how I know all this? In

[10:09] short, I experience the same things. First of all, I know and appreciate how frustrating it is to not be able to control your thoughts. Your mind is always racing, stuck in cycles of thinking you can't stop, and unfortunately, most of these thoughts, or

[10:23] most of these scenarios, are negative. These scenarios always end badly, and you're probably worried because you feel like you have what they call Gaussian syndrome. I've read all the research and studies done in psychiatry on this topic, and I'll

[10:36] give you a summary right now. First of all, what is Gaussian syndrome? When I searched through all the research and studies on a syndrome called Gaussian syndrome, I didn't find any results. What I found was something called Jessica's syndrome is something completely different. The term " Jesska's syndrome"

[10:50] doesn't exist in foreign sources. All the websites that discuss it are Arabic. And by the way, I don't have any problem with it being called "Jesska's syndrome." I don't care about the name; what matters to me is the topic itself. First of all, please,

[11:04] guys, let's not label ourselves with disease names and convince ourselves that we have Jessica's syndrome, or OCD, or ADHD, just because we saw a short video on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram saying we have something like that. Believe me, this puts you under pressure

[11:17] and adds to the psychological stress you already have. It's not normal to think you have a disease or a syndrome, so you'll feel stressed even though you might be perfectly normal and healthy, as I'm about to prove to 99% of people. They're watching this episode and they think they're

[11:29] perfectly normal and there's nothing wrong with them. How is that possible, guys? I have exactly the symptoms you just described. I know and I understand that. Just focus with me now, and I'll tell you if you're normal or not. First of all, what you're going through, called

[11:42] Joska syndrome, consists of two things. The first is self-talk, where you talk to yourself, whether in your head, silently, or out loud. The second is endless thought patterns and scenarios in your mind,

[11:56] and most of these scenarios are negative, right? So, we need to understand what's normal and what's not, and why this happens in the first place. First of all, talking to yourself is perfectly normal. There isn't a single person in the entire universe who doesn't talk to

[12:11] themselves. You need to understand that thinking has a voice; it's energy. Things don't come from nothing, they don't perish. The point is, people are different. Some think and speak loudly, and I'm one of those people. Others talk

[12:24] to themselves inside their heads. There are three normal types. Now, let's get to the second thing, which is literally the most important point in this episode: the endless cycles of negative thinking and scenarios that run through our minds. "My future wife or fiancée, whom I don't even know yet, I

[12:37] imagined she cheated on me, so I got upset, hurt, cried, and my heart broke. My friends betrayed me. I failed the exam. My parents died right before my eyes." From my perspective, the only thing that gets us into these scenarios and intense thinking, from which we can't escape, is a lack of

[12:53] acceptance of reality. You might not accept reality as a whole, or you might not accept one or some aspects of it. This is perfectly normal; it will make us think of scenarios that can be negative or positive. And by the way, both have their benefits, and both also have their drawbacks. For example,

[13:07] you're sitting in a lecture or class, and your mind suddenly remembers the other subject you haven't studied or the one for which you haven't done the homework. The positive scenario you might think of is, "I'll skip class, go relax for an hour, then wake up, make myself a drink,

[13:20] study a chapter or two, take a fifteen-minute break, then study another chapter. That way, I'll know I can finish what I need to do in this subject." Thinking this way fail! I'm going to fail this subject! I have an exam, I don't know when it is, and I don't know how many

[13:34] chapters I have left to study." You imagine, while you're sitting in the middle of the lecture, that you've taken the exam for the other subject, that you couldn't answer the questions, that you failed, and that your family is worried sick. All of this happens subconsciously in your mind, and you keep going. You remain trapped in

[13:48] this scenario and don't focus on your reality or the class you're in. Imagine that this happens to you if you're only not accepting one aspect of reality, which is the material you have n't studied. Now imagine if you're not accepting the whole reality, if you're

[14:02] completely dissatisfied with it, if your family at home are bad and treat you badly, if you feel your academic level is declining and you're not studying, if there are ongoing problems between you and your friends, and wow if you're working and have work responsibilities. All of this generates pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, so you say, "What is this?

[14:16] What is this? What is this?" It's as if you're saying to yourself, " What is this painful and disgusting reality?" If I isolate myself and disconnect from reality, it will be a million times better for me. No one understands me anyway. I like to be alone. At least I understand myself. I

[14:29] live in my own world, inside my head. It's much more comfortable. And from here, the idea of ​​isolation begins. You find that you don't want to deal with people. You really feel at that time that being with yourself and being isolated from people or from reality is very comfortable for you. And you start to

[14:43] live in scenarios that your mind builds. And the problem is that all of this can happen unconsciously, and you don't even notice it. Look, all of this is one thing, and these scenarios are another thing entirely. The scenarios that occur in your mind don't

[14:55] happen out of nowhere. A person under immense pressure often escapes into mental scenarios to find solace. These scenarios usually have negative endings that upset them even more. For example, they might imagine: "I married the girl I love, but she cheated on me," or "I took the exam, but I failed," or "I have

[15:08] friends, but they ignore me and don't want to spend time with me." Most of these scenarios in a person's mind end negatively, with harsh endings such as abandonment, death, failure, with me." Most of these scenarios in a person's mind end negatively, with harsh endings such as abandonment, death, failure, or poverty. These scenarios always have very harsh endings. So why do these scenarios end like

[15:22] this? Because of childhood traumas. I come from the school of thought that believes 99% of what happens in our lives stems from our childhood. A person whose mind creates mostly negative scenarios does so because they were raised with a

[15:36] bad parent or environment. They were raised to believe that what they were doing was bad, not good. "What the hell are you doing? Violence!" Verbal abuse, and sometimes even physical violence, is common. This person, as a child, is constantly told by everything around them that they are bad.

[15:50] As they grow up, subconsciously, they begin to believe this idea. They are always feeling inadequate, always at fault, telling themselves that if they continue as they are, they will fail in the future, their future will be ruined. They are terrified that this scenario will actually happen. Since they don't

[16:04] know their future and are terrified that this will be their reality, they work very hard to control these fears. However, they only suppress them in reality, allowing them to fester in their mental scenarios. This applies to everything: friends, a girl they love, money, the future.

[16:21] Most of their scenarios are closed off in their mind in a negative way. Imagine, even the thoughts they use to escape the painful reality that oppresses them only increase the pressure because they constantly remind them that they are not enough, that they will fail, and that they are not up to par. So, they are under immense pressure. What happens is

[16:37] that this person... He remains trapped in this cycle and doesn't know how to get out of it, so you find him lost most of the time in a sea of ​​thoughts that no one in the world knows anything about, and he really wants to get out of this difficult reality and do everything he can, but he feels like he's always

[16:52] blowing into a punctured needle. What I want to say is that this cycle of thinking that I just told you about happens inside the brains of most people. The idea of ​​dwelling on negative thoughts and scenarios, and the feeling of talking to oneself, whether silently or aloud, isn't what it's

[17:05] called or if it happens to me. The real issue is how often it happens. As I mentioned, everyone experiences this, but the intensity of the thinking varies depending on the person's circumstances and childhood. What I'm

[17:19] trying to say is, don't be so hard on yourself. Don't be so harsh on yourself for even thinking like that. It happens to everyone, as I said. Accept it. You don't have to convince yourself you have a disease or a syndrome. So, please, tell me a solution

[17:32] to this. If I were to summarize the solution in two words, it would be to accept reality. Try to accept reality and let yourself go. This doesn't mean you should let yourself fail or do something wrong, of course not. What I'm saying is to be kind to yourself, accept that

[17:48] you're not perfect, and accept that you are. Always remember that there will always be many things in your life that aren't quite right. Accept them and work on improving them. Do your part and that's it. It's not our business. Really try to integrate, live, and let yourself be in reality. Because as long as you're not satisfied with

[18:02] it, you'll always escape into the scenarios in your head, and most of these scenarios will be negative. So be kind to yourself. Accept that you won't be perfect. Accept that you'll get caught up in these thought patterns; it's perfectly normal. But the point is, how do you think about it? Of course, I'm just giving my opinion

[18:16] here. If you're getting into these thought patterns or talking to yourself normally, then it's fine. But if it's excessive and you're so overwhelmed that you can't do anything in your day, then you definitely need to see a mental health professional. These things are treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, and there is

[18:29] definitely improvement over time. But what I'm trying to say is that if you're going through this, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a syndrome; it's normal, but it could be Your level of self-doubt is a bit high, so try to integrate more into reality, accept it, live with people, and let yourself go.

[18:43] Always focus on your thinking. If you stop your mind and find it going in a negative direction, then look at the positive side. Look at the positive aspects of the situation. Look at what we can do about it. If positive aspects of the situation. Look at what we can do about it. If

[18:57] our problem. In my opinion, this could be the solution if you're struggling with this. Now, regarding the end of the story about the girl I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, the picture I saw while viewing her story—I don't know if I can say this or not—

[19:11] was of her in a compromising position with another girl. Of course, I was shocked when I saw this, especially since I saw this girl with my own eyes and interacted with her. But this could be a type of split personality, which is a very unlikely scenario. So, let's do the simple things I mentioned and try them. Let's see

[19:25] how things turn out, and as usual, don't forget to share.
