Read Time:1 Minute, 13 Second



This is one of my favorite calls I’ve taken on this podcast: a caller and I discuss his persistent health anxiety and how it has leaked into all aspects of his life. We chat about what it means to navigate life while juggling a daunting fear of death, while also reflecting on how death unites us all.

Then a couple asks me to weigh in on a important disagreement they are caught in: is it gay to jizz on your own face?

Later a caller and I weigh the pros and cons of donating your sperm to a sperm bank.
Then the podcast will be over and you can go do something else. I am a gecko.

25 thoughts on ““I’M AFRAID TO DIE” – Therapy Gecko

  1. no hate what so ever. i'm just chilling listening smoking alittle and thinking. Do you do this so people can talk about their problems infront of alot of people and they kinda have their own realizaton about the stories they are telling?

  2. i relate to this guy so fucking much and i just wanna say…. im so sorry. i remember doing like 2 day investigation on rabies when i learned about it. general life anxiety. wailing around in the pre-void abyss wondering why we are here and what it all means and how my death is going to feel or what afterwards feels like. i hate it. i want to live forever.

  3. I really wish I had an answer for the first guy… I've been convinced that a combination of symptoms I've experienced for the last 10 months have been signs I've had non-hodgkins lymphoma. Now it's more a passing "maybe, but probably not" thought, but for 7-8 months it was a hard-core, genuine belief… It made my drinking issues worsen, and I felt in a place of genuine despair. I started acting a little differently / out of character. Only upon 1. a large set of blood test results being 99.99% totally fine and 2. realising the length of time of this fear being present, did I realise "I'm probably alright…"

  4. not trying to diagnose anyone but perhaps the first caller could have slight ocd? i have ocd and the obsessing over potential illness sounds very familiar to what i’ve been been through, i hope they get the help that’s best for them!

  5. You had hypochondria induced psychosis for 6 months? Try 11 years. Since I was 19 (also after doing psychedelics), I’ve had OCD, hypochondria, and paranoid psychosis. I want to kill myself every single day. I don’t think I’ll last much longer.

  6. Hi Lyle! I was wondering if it's okay to copy your concept but in here in the philippines 🙂 I was planning to dress up as a hotdog and post it on my empty channel. Would love to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks!

  7. You where dead billions of years before you where conscious and you’ll remain dead for infinity as space particles spiraling a super massive black hole as you have always been.

  8. Don’t knock Art Therapy Lyle, it might not be for everyone, I’m on my third therapist, had no idea they were Art based, initially wasn’t down for it at all. I gave it a chance and it did more for me in 10 weeks than the two years prior with my other therapists.

    If you go into these things thinking it’s stupid and don’t give it a chance, then it will be stupid and it will have no chance.

    Listen to all ur vids & ily tho 💖❤️😊

  9. This guy is the best caller I have ever heard. Props to you for hearing him out. It helped me out of a tough spot listening to you two talk 🙂

  10. The fact that we get to exist at all I’m just greatful for. Don’t be sad it’s not forever be happy you get to ride the ride. Think of how special what we have on this planet is
