There are moments when you wake up,

and the world is so quiet that you can hear your own heart beating.

And in that silence, a profound sadness washes over you.

Some call it the 3am curse.

You wake up in the middle of the night,

and suddenly, you're in the middle of an existential crisis.

You start thinking about everything,

your job, your future, if any of it actually matters.

I grabbed a pen and started journaling,

which led me to write this script.

I wondered, what if there are others who feel this too?

This isn't a night terror, it's something deeper.

It's the moment you wake up and question the entire simulation.

So what is this feeling?

In psychology, this is a brush with existentialism.

At its core, existentialism isn't about being depressed.

It's the confrontation with four fundamental anxieties.

Death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness.

It's the realization that the universe doesn't come from a pre-written instruction manual.

You are born.

You are free to make choices.

You are fundamentally alone in your consciousness.

And one day, you'll die.

And in between all that,

you have to create your own meaning.

It's terrifying.

But it's also the foundation of modern psychology.

Many therapies like logotherapy and existential therapy are built entirely around helping people navigate these very questions.

We'll expand on that a bit later.

This is a universal human experience.

It's the moment you stop being a character in someone else's story and start asking who is writing your script.

Think of Light Yagami from Death Note.

Before he found the Death Note,

he was a brilliant student who saw the world as rotten and meaningless.

He was completely unplugged, yearning for a purpose, even a dark one.

Or consider Mob from Mob Psycho 100.

His entire character arc is about an existential struggle.

He has immense psychic power but feels empty and wants to be normal.

Because he believes his powers don't give him inherent worth,

he's constantly searching for a meaning and identity beyond his abilities.

That feeling of, is that all there is,

is the first step on any existential journey.

It's uncomfortable, but it's also a sign that you are waking up.

I still remember the last time I had this feeling.

It was late at night after reviewing and studying for my final exams.

I was in my fourth year of my psychology major degree.

I was so close.

All I had left were a few electives and I would get my degree.

And suddenly it dawned on me.

What comes after this?

What if I graduate?

It's not when you're so far from the finish line that you panic,

it's when you're so close that you start wondering what's next?

What was this all about?

In that quiet yet painful awakening moment,

I realized that after this is just graduate school.

Another three years, maybe four,

and what of next after that?

The future felt so uncertain.

But what I had right then was a community on Tumblr.

A group of people who were actually benefiting from the materials I was producing and sharing.

It was a very gratifying feeling.

One that was immediate and certain.

So I thought, after these finals, I'm dropping out.

After the exams, I said it to one of my professors.

She was the greatest psychology professor I ever had.

A special shout out to Dr. Asinand from UBC.

Not only was she dedicated to her craftsmanship,

her Rate My Professor reviews definitely stood up to her reputation

and she further inspired me to take more courses that she taught.

She made psychology so interesting and her lectures so engaging.

You could feel the passion she consistently demonstrates,

along with her thoughtful responses and emails to your curiosity.

Of course, along the path,

many reasons inspire us to pursue psychology,

and that's a story for another time.

But it makes me wonder,

have you been inspired by someone to pursue psychology or whatever you're doing now?

If so, give them a shout out in the comments.

We'd love to read your stories and celebrate the people who have shaped our journeys.

When I told my professor I would be dropping out, she was shocked.

I was the top student in almost all her classes,

but in that moment, I felt a sense of deep relief.

Like it was finally over.

A few days after, it felt surreal.

I still remember laying in the tub thinking, this can't be real.

And there I lay, for what was the longest hour of my life.

And it's perhaps during these 3am hours,

these glitches in the matrix,

when you suddenly have those realizations that you don't need to do whatever you're doing anymore.

It's okay to stop, to rest,

to cease, and start anew.

And though, during this moment,

when you have people, your cheerleaders who supported you,

you know that you'll be letting them down,

and for me it was my parents.

At the same time, somewhere deep in this profound moment of quietness,

I knew that it was right for me.

Everything just felt so quiet, so clear.

Let's expand on those therapies we mentioned earlier.

101

How do professionals help with this?

102

Logotherapy, developed by Viktor Frankl,

103

is literally therapy through meaning.

104

Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, believed that the primary human drive is not pleasure,

105

but the pursuit of what we find meaningful.

106

A logotherapist would not give you answers.

107

They'd help you find them.

108

They ask questions like, if you knew where you were going to live forever,

109

how would you live differently?

110

Or, when do you feel most yourself?

111

The goal is to help you discover your unique purpose.

112

Existential therapy, on the other hand,

113

is more about facing the givens of existence head-on.

114

It helps you confront the ultimate concerns,

115

death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness,

116

not as a problem to be solved,

117

but as realities to be accepted.

118

It helps you take responsibility for your choices and live authentically,

119

even in the face of life's inherent absurdity.

120

Both of these therapies are built on the idea that the answer to your existential crisis isn't to escape the questions,

121

but to live your way into the answers.

122

And though I never want that feeling of what's next to be the case with Psych2Go,

123

we have such an amazing community and team,

124

and okay, tie, thank you,

125

including the Amanda Silvera who is narrating this script.

126

Part of me always wondered, what if we expanded?

127

What if we opened wellness coffee shops or workshops around the world?

128

What if we just stopped all this content stuff and expanded beyond.

129

And that's what's been on my mind for so long.

130

And though today's video is supposed to be on existentialism and these deeply gratifying moments,

131

I wanted to share a bit of my story.

132

And if you're one of the few who actually watched this far, thank you.

133

You have unlocked the founder's backstory.

134

Thank you for being here.

135

So much more amazing content to come.

136

Waking up at 3am and feeling lost is not a curse.

137

It's an invitation.

138

It's your soul asking you to live a more intentional life.

139

It's the universe giving you a chance to choose your own path.

140

It's scary.

141

It's confusing, but it's also the greatest gift that you can receive.

142

It's the moment you stop just existing and start truly living.

143

If this video resonated, you might find our video on how to find your purpose in life really helpful.

144

And for those 3am moments,

145

try our guided meditation for calming an anxious mind.

146

We are more than a mental health channel.

147

We're here to provide a message when the timing is just right.

148

If you have any comments or questions you would like us to address,

149

please leave them down below.

150

We're listening.

151

You've got this.

Guided Meditation for Overthinking & Overwhelm (Relax Fast) Part 2/10 of Our Guided Meditation

Daily ConversationUniversity StudentsWorking Adults

FOR YOU

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？

在這個影片中，講者探討了人類普遍存在的一種深度存在主義危機感。這種情感不僅讓我們反思自身的生活意義，更是激勵我們去白話和交流自己的思想。使用 看YouTube學英語 的好處在於，您不僅可以提升聽力能力，還能通過模仿（即 shadow speak）來提高口語表達。在理解和表達情感和思考的過程中，您會發現自己的語言能力有了顯著的提升。

語法與表達在語境中的運用

以下是影片中使用的一些關鍵結構：

存在主義（Existentialism）：在心理學中，存在主義幫助我們理解生命中的根本焦慮。這可以幫助學生在討論人生意義時，使用更復雜的句型。
自我反思（Self-reflection）：影片中反覆提到的自我探quest能讓學習者使用第一人稱進行敘述，表達個人體驗及情感。
選擇與自由（Choice and Freedom）：這兩個概念是理解存在主義的核心，鼓勵學習者在口語練習中表達自己的觀點，形成獨立判斷。
口語段落（Speech Segments）：如使用“我在想……”來引導自己的思索和表達，鼓勵學生在談話中使用類似結構。

常見發音陷阱

在這一影片中，有幾個典型的發音可能會讓初學者感到困難：

Existential（存在主義）：這個詞的音節較多，強調重音時容易錯漏，建議反覆練習。
Meaninglessness（無意義）：這個詞的發音較複雜，可以通過分開音節來逐步練習。
一些帶有重音變化的單詞，如 confrontation（對抗），在快速說話時很容易發錯。

通過這些發音練習，您可以更好地掌握口語表達，同時通過 shadow speech（影子演講）提高聽力和發音能力。建議利用此shadowing site 進行更深入的練習，幫助您在講話時自信流利。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	being depressed · are born · are built
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have you been inspired · have shaped · what's been
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	student who saw · people who were · people who have

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
