i wouldnt feel comfortable calling people when i struggle with my anxiety because i feel like i bother them
+melissa lolol I feel the same but it still do, even when I get that feelind. obviously not all the time, but sometimes it's so bad that I wanna give up and I start having suicidal thoughts that's when I know I can't handle it anymore and I call and you have no idea how much it helps, try it if it's someone you know you're importanto for I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be a bother, hope you get better :)
mireya Luna thank you for that.. sometimes it does get to much but i kind got used to bottling it up.
melissa lolol well you shouldn't I'm kinda that way and now I'm so deep into this that I don't know what to do, try to look for help, I'm telling you because I'm really deep into this, and I wouldn't like you to go through the same, talk to someone, I'm pretty sure they can help you.
+melissa lolol Yep! I feeling the same way. NO WAY would I EVER call someone & tell them I'm freak'n anxious, I'm freak'n out.....I wouldn't even tell my husband that. He'd be like, "what? what do you want me to do about it?"
melissa lolol
Same!
Anxiety is a living hell for me.
Mine too
Me too but we are not alone. Keep up the fight. We can beat this.
Guys, I really don't know how to beat this. It's been killing me! Last 2 weeks i had 3 attacks and now I'm scared to even think about it or it might strike me again. Palms sweating, heart racing, can't control my breathing and keep thinking about it..... It's just sucks 😢
@@TheAgromc same me
Look at vacate fear on youtube...his videos will help you.
When I have anxiety, i always listen to christian music
Thank you! I will now try :D
Same
That’s one of the best ways
What's the cause of your anxiouty kindly let's share
I might try that. Thanks for sharing :) It’s a really nice idea
Feel like I'm in hell now. anxiety Is ruining life
Emily T-J doing better? Hope you are
I love u hun its ruining me too. But I have a little one who needs me so how about I help u and u help me. Stay positive. I won't give up on u if u don't on me. Fuck anxiety
It gets better. I go through stages feeling doomed. But it’s unfortunately a matter of finding the coping mechanisms that work for you which varies for everyone. But trust me it will improve, you’ll find what works for you and you will be amazed that you ever felt anxious. Like I feel anxious atm, I don’t know the trigger, but I know it will improve. All the best
Emily T-J for real
i feel you
might sound silly, but i always carry around some chewing gum with me, and when i feel my anxiety coming on, chewing gum really helps bring my anxiety down, its something that i really like because its so subtle and you can do it in public without people knowing youre feeling on the edge :)
I do that too and when I feel anxiety and I don't have gum I kind of freak out .
wow you are exactly like me.. i cant go a day in school without some. i cant even go outside without some.. holy shiz i though i was the only one
What about if you're in the middle of a class 😔
I'll have to try this !
Explain to your teacher
Keep busy
Feeling focusing
Exercise
Phone a friend
Seeing a psychiatrist
Thanks, saves my time.
Psychiatrist: so what's your problem.
Me: The whether is nice
Ty
best advice great comment
My anxiety gets more severe because of this quarantine
True tho
ye me too
damm bro u right
This is when I got anxiety f 2020
My skin gets itchy and stingy and makes life so uncomfortable 😕😕😕
Does anyone just forget to breath when they’re feeling nervous for some reason.
Yes I literally hold my breath
Yes! I catch myself holding my breath constantly!
Yes!!
Yes
Yeah, that's part of panic attacks, that's why they are so awful
Tip from me: Sing, play an instrument, draw, write! Do some art, you don't have to me good at it, just express yourself in some creative way!
Tsvetina Kuneva omg, colouring In helps me so much
I usually crochet, which helps a lot
I do this but sometimes i don't get enough focused on the instrument and i start worrying again😅
@@hildanavalta4397 do it as if you are a kid, not an artist. So no ambition at all, just say to yourself that now you are doing this for wellnes, not for art, not for anybody else to see or hear
So true! It really helps! They are sure a great healer!
1) Being busy / Being productive / Distractions
2) Feelings focusing: Focus on the body part where you feel anxiety
3) Exercise
4) Contact a friend (Try to have 5 people on this list)
5) See professionals (Therapist, Family Doctor, Psychiatrist, etc)
Saber Your Neighbour i loved and hate this comment at the same time
I felt so scary. I couldnt breathe almost all day and my chest was going crazy, but was sad and anxious all day. Finally i decided just think positive and forget about the pain, im getting better (8
Are you feeling better now?
Instead of running from anxiety I found running towards it and facing it every single time it comes up over time has been lowering my general sense of anxiety. Laughing in the face of fear not letting it get in your way of whatever it may be you want to accomplish. Really important to also reflect on how you are doing and to set goals that you can feel proud of overcoming and most importantly enjoy your life do what makes you happy and do what you need to so that you can be happy. With peace and love to all the anxiety sufferers out there you are the cure.
Sadly I can stay super busy and still have the same obsessive thought. Always on the back of my mind regardless of what I’m doing 😞
me too.i cant focusing when i do something
SAME 🥺
What's the course let's share kindly
A lot of the time, I won't even be thinking about anything and I get anxiety. The center of it is in my throat. I start feelings tightening to no reason, and then I get very irritable and just want to self harm to get rid of it. Just typing this has given it to me.. 😣
Never self harm yourself. It's not worth it. Go sit right under a fan , take a deep breath and slowly recite your name ,don't recite it fast , do it as slowly as you can while feeling the vibrations of your vocal chords. I say the word OM and it helps.
THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO ME BUT I DON'T SELF HARM
This has happened to me before. You should NEVER self harm. Sorry if that sounded harsh but a few years ago i did and i was rushed into hospital and nearly died. I know it feels like you are just letting all the stress escape your body but you need to talk to someone. Trust me, it really helps. I'm 16 now and my anxiety has got a lot better but when i was about 14 thats when I started self harming. I kept things bottled up and i started having panic attacks nearly every other day, doubting if my friends liked me or if my boyfriend still loved m, stupid things like that... Basically my main message is to talk to someone. Xx
Take of yourself dear not harm . If it helps at all, I get the same feeling in my throat, and every doctor looks at me like I’m crazy. But we’re not, anxiety is common and hopefully you can find some peace in that the same way I do.
Katelyn Hamblin SAME and I am only a child which makes it really hard for me bc I always feel like I can’t breath and there is this feeling where my throat closes up but it’s not. Tbh it’s all in my mind
I find telling at least one person how you are feeling helps reduce my anxiety if I'm out. My anxiety thrives on ppl not finding out I'm having a panic attack. Cos I dont want to ruin other ppls times. But if u tell one person it reduces it slightly and u don't feel so isolated and alone and someone knows what your struggling with & it takes the edge off sometimes. But it doesn't always work!! It has to be someone u trust and feel comfortable with or it could have the opposite effect. Thanks for yr video kati, very helpful xxxxx
Could you do a video on healthy ways to express anger? I think it would be useful.
Excellent video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for beating depression fast without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy at last got astronomical results with it.
Nice video content! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (do a search on google)? It is a great one of a kind guide for beating depression fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam at very last got astronomical results with it.
Get a gym membership or run
find hobbies, music, art or something to channel that anger
re enforce with positives when u get negative thoughts i think everyone gets frustrated at times
I just started having anxiety and the passed two. Days have been so bad feels like a heart attack I get real shaky and hard to breath it’s all new to me and came out of no where
I have exactly the same feeling and symptoms. I ve had 3 attacks for past 2 weeks and scared to think about it or it might strike me again
Maybe this is pandemic related? It's like a constant threat and your natural instinct is to get ready for it which = feeling anxiety.
Same here..
@Ty Bodine Same my right hand is shaking i thought ihave a parkinson's hahahaha that makes me more anxious and having a palpitations, its just came out of no where
@@dmarshall5877 hopefully it gets better but I still havnt conquered mine so your not the only one
I feel anxiety in my heart and lungs so it helps a lot to do breathing exercises and focus on that area. I also like to drink hot tea which I find really soothing (especially green tea or chamomile) because breathing the steam is really relaxing and the warmth gives you something to focus on.
What do you do when you're unable to leave the house and are stuck with your thoughts? I try watching funny shows/ videos and listening to music really loud but I find I don't have the motivation to do many productive things. I've been trying out mindfulness meditation as well.
I am working hard to make things better, especially with my emotional state but sometimes I feel them getting worse.. I take medicine, now. Not sure how much it is helping. Anyway, really helpful video.
NinaPastelmochi I have this issue too! And anxiety makes my stomach upset a lot. And thank you! I'll try some of these things
i also cant go out at home i always feel dizzy and pain in different parts of my body.
my stomach is always upset and always constipated
cherry garcia omgggggggggg really???? I thought it was my eating so I tried changing it up but still an issue. All u guys here are seriously helping me understand what the hell is wrong with me. Thank u
Amethyst Lindblad me too omg
Ive been dealing with Anxiety since January of 2020. Ever since my first ever panic attack, I havent felt even close to the same. I feel like a literal different person now and everyday I feel like Im losing my mind. My main trigger is my memory. Ill start to forget things and I immediately jump to the conclusion that I have dementia or some sort of severe mental illness. The more anxious I get. The more I start to forget. Ill start testing myself and trying to remember certain events and then I cant even remember those. I struggled in school and failed out of every class of my fall semester because I was too afraid to even leave my bed. The only time I can feel comfort is when Im asleep and I know thats bad. Im trying to distract myself from it now and Im starting to learn that its okay. Its awesome reading all of the comments and understanding that there’s other people out there dealing with similar issues. I believe we’ll all find ourselves again soon and I have hope for us❤️
Just discoverd your videos and its already really helping me understand how to deal with my anxiety better thank you!
"Making deals, breaking hearts" LOL I love this
I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't help but laugh. Those are the two things she automatically came up with 😂
i literally almost made the identical quote you posted... lol
"Describe Mergers & Acquisitions in 4 words..."
I dropped out of college due to stress. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I also showed symptoms of cluster c personality disorder, especially avoidant personality disorder. I am currently undergoing therapy and medication. I feel really bad about all that. Anxiety was one of the main reasons I discontinued the course. Once my hands and legs started shivering from it. Thanks Kati for the tips. I will try putting them to use.
Hope you're well
I just want to let you know that Jesus loves you and He is willing and able to take away all your burdens and anxiety ❤️
This is a great video. I really suffered with anxiety when I was a young man, but I'm really happy I came through some years ago. I really feel for people still struggling and it's still a topic of interest.
Thank you to all of you that are dealing with this and making an effort to connect with others. wow, does life ever suck sometimes. I'm 48 years old and after having gone through a major life change and being completely removed from my comfort zone, I am experiencing horrible panic and anxiety. I feel like such an idiot sometimes and part of me thinks I should be better and stronger, which, of course, makes the anxiety worse. I have to let go of my suffering, I know that but I am one of those people that wants to go it alone. It doesn't work. I need to trust that other people care about me. My resistance to the loving nature of others is a big problem. Thank you to those of you working through it and sharing your experience.
Ah Kati yes. I'm so happy to have found this.
breathing into the anxiety works so well. thank you so much
Kati, I just think that your advice is so down to earth. I mean that what you say makes so much sense, that it is amazing! Please keep it up!
Anxiety will sometimes makes you feel like you having a heart problem or a stroke. I just want to get normal again...☹
A great share for the anxiety guy podcast listeners thanks Kati.
I know this is an older video, but this is very helpful for me right now. Thanks for this video! ❤️ These are some great tips that I will definitely do to feel better.
#1 is really good advice as my favourite writer said empty mind is the playground of the devil. When you are doing nothing that’s the time when you are bombarded with negative thoughts.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been struggling with getting help for a while and I feel these videos are really encouraging me to make some changes!
I often say to my clients who have anxiety (and depression) BP!! Breathing and posture. Changing your posture alone will ALWAYS change your psychological state-period! Standing in an upright position, and maintaining that position (victory pose) with your chin UP for at least two minutes WILL calm you down, it's fail proof. Combined with the correct breathing you will be in complete control again. The trick is to REMEMBER to do it which may take some practice. Yes, it's that simple. Your physiology will always override your psychology, this is a proven fact. Best wishes
I really resisted even taking medication for a long time but for me, I've found that medication has helped me out so much in managing my anxiety. I wasn't really making progress in therapy until I started taking medication. I hope to not be on it forever but for now, it's what I need as part of my recovery.
I don't want to go back on meds, but if I did, I would rather take ones that I use as and when, not every day. It's just a personal preference, though. I'm glad that the meds have helped you. You probably won't have to take them forever, just to help you through the worst of the anxiety, as you learn other ways to cope. I don't think many of us want to be on meds forever.
***** I agree, although they are what keep me sane right now.
***** I know exactly what you mean! I felt the same way. Having the right medication can help you in therapy because it helps you be in the right frame of mind I think. Med's aren't necessarily for everyone, and I respect that, I just know that at least for now, it can help so much for certain people. I hope you're psychiatrist appointment goes well! If you'd like to chat more, my email is emilylengriffin @ gmail . com (minus the spaces). I'm not a professional, I'd just like to offer my experience if it can help. :)
paulapoetry I understand what you're saying. I don't want to be on meds forever, I'm hoping at some point, I will be able to go off them.
***** Anytime :)
This video is so good. It could save lives.
I'm in a really bad place now. Thank you.
Im so happy I tumbled upon your channel. You are so good. And your methods are so real and true. Ive used them myself. Amen to being mindful again!
Welcome!!
I completely agree with you about medication helping you to take action.
If I hadn't gone on medication, I would never have been able to get over the anxiety enough to be able to help myself. And because of the medicine, I am now able to control my anxiety so much so that I can enjoy life again.
Jesus loves you
You were not created for anxiety!
y’all music helpsss
you need to listen to music as you do something productive whether it’s homework or cleaning ur depression cave or chores. Literally anything that’s not just laying down cause then u can think ab what ur doing and what ur listening to. I suggest khalid, sza, billie ellish, and usher. Cause it’s r&b and it really helps me.
I've just discovered your awesome channel, amazing content! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights. Anxiety is so prevalent right now and simple guidance like this is so priceless! Love your work :)

Thanks for taking the time to share your tools and ideas. I appreciate it and I'm sure others do, too :)
This was a great video!! I'm so happy I found your channek, I just wish I would have found it sooner!!! I recently had to quit my dream job because of depression, anxiety and panic... I look forward to watching your videos!!!
If only we could "snap" our anxiety out, that would be amazing, ha! :D
Thank you so much Kati, you're amazing!
Lavender essential oil works wonders :)
+Dilabhara IT REALLY DOES!!! :)
Dilabhara nope not for me. It just smells good
Ick......I hate the smell of lavender
Nadal Tarik i used to beat people up for a living
How do you use it?
Thanks for the video!
My best tip is to start looking around and listing things that I see in my mind. It helps me understand that there's no danger and nothing bad is going to happen right now. It also reduces derealization, which often causes anxiety strikes.
This is awesome. My anxiety was so overwhelming that I had to take medication and once meditation has calmed me down I can exercise and just go about my day. Over time I have drastically reduced the amount of medication I take. I am on the brink of complete healing. Good sleep is also very important
Hey kati, i feel that i owe you a HUGE apology. After watching a q&a video last week i posted a somewhat rude comment, because a statement you made really upset me. However after watching it a couple more times i realized i had misunderstood what you were saying. I am so SORRY!!!!!:( I love all your videos and be sure i will watch them more than once before posting a comment again. Please overlook my stupid mistake.
Hearing your voice and positive energy helps me! (:
Solutions that Come from the world are always temporal
But Jesus gives you eternal rest
it has been 2 years i had not been going to school due to an eating disorder. the eating disorder really affect my self esteem and how i look at myself. but today is my first day of school in 2 years! im an hour away till my class start i am sooo stressed out right now and my anxiety level so high! but after ur vids i felt much better... thank u kati!
i always wanted to thank u for all ur vids, but i felt that u wont care... but whatever! JUST DO IT! ARGH!!!!!!
Thank you so much for making this video!!! It really helps. :D
Gr8 video :)
I went into the town by my self which I thought I could handle sooooooooo very wrong I began to panic and tears filled my eyes as my stomach started churning I sat down whilst waiting for my prescription and i text my mom who told me to phone her. It calmed me down a lot to my suprise, enough so I could get my medication and get home. I felt like I was just going to curl up into a ball and cry (which would have been worse than the anxiety )
I'm so freaking scared of how I'm going to cope at university.
***** xoxox
I knkw you can cope! I've been living away from home for 2 years now to study. It has made my anxiety better to be honest! Don't set yourself up to fail.. Just plan out how you can distract yourself when necessary. I also find doing something relaxing for 10 minutes every morning sets my day up :)
Thanks :) I'm really looking forward to getting back to university but also very scared of making a fool out of myself. I had bad anxiety at my last university and ended up crying in the toilets as it was crippling. I hope I can cope better xox
My personal biggest tip is meditation!! Even just 10 minutes everyday to focus on your breath changes the way you view life!
I really want to be able to meditate properly. Can you offer any advice?
@@tabishkuma of course! Please remember that not everything works for everyone some things I offer here might not be to your benefit!! But for me personally, my purpose behind meditation was strong, so maybe finding a purpose whether it’s for peace of mind or an overall calm, that may encourage you throughout your practice, I personally practice with TH-cam videos whether it’s 10, 15 or 20 minutes a day! But that’s all I do! But it’s your practice I encourage you to do whatever fits you best, and makes you most comfortable!!
Been fighting my fentanyl addiction and been having the worst anxiety of my life to where I’ve gotten a heart attack. And this just saved me from another anxiety attack thank you 🙏
Thanks a lot Miss 💜 Will try all these tips. I am very confident these would work. Thank you 💜
I've found that writing exactly what my 'anxiety voice' is saying into my journal really helps me
Eli Secor anxiety voice? i also have a voice inside my head and it kills me and gets me anxious
ht ht this is how i exactly feel rn 😭
I dont know if its anxiety...
Every morning when im thingking that my online classes is going to start
My heart from the morning of 6:00am to 3:00pm i feel my chest so tight.. but sometimes it is calming but after that it start again
I FREAKING DONT LIKE THIS FEELING
I feel like im having a heart attack
Its ok. U will be fine
Had to watch this again...thank you.
I have really benefited from your videos over the past 2 years. Now i have finally subscribed. Thank you. God bless you.
I just want to feel again for one day
I have anxiety for the anxiety which gives me anxiety
watching this at a public place after running out from the grocery store because of an anxiety attack.I felt like if I dont run out, I'll faint. then I sat down and was shaking for minutes. now I feel I have the willpower to get up and proceed with my day. I dropped out of 5 therapists so far in the past 2 years, neither of them seemed to believe I had a problem. for some time I thought that's it, no help for me, I'll get by how I can by myself. but Kati, your videos and empathy, the way to talk to us give so much hope to me, a lot of your advice actually work on me and it makes me feel a little stronger. even though I'm not your patient, sometimes I feel you understand my issues much more than either of my ex-therapists. I'm so grateful for your work! 🐦🐦🐦
Distraction is definitely a key element for me dealing with it in my past and then I was inside the house alot, not going out afraid of being alone getting bad attacks, feeling alone outside of my phone calling people. Then got a job for a few years after years of being out of work, did much better with distraction then quit due to changes in management and stress had some opportunities then the virus hit and everything closed or let people go and it came back my own mind played tricks on me and made it worse.
Meds help but I don't want to be relying on just them. So came back my anxiety hard this year because of Corona but I have to force myself to go out more. I must battle it, but will try new things like talking to someone never did that before. I always talk to my friends but I feel bad bothering them even though I know one always says to call and when he can he calls back. But yeah living with anxiety is not fun. This chick is one of the few vids to give logical advice imo compared to so many others that aren't helpful on here. However what may work for some won't work on all so maybe other videos help other people. For me most havent sadly but this is very similar advice to what my counselor told me recently.
I feel Like I’m having a heart attack right now, I’m having MAJOR anxiety about a doctors appointment tomorrow, the appointment is to literally talk about my anxiety, how ironic
I have BAD ANXIETY!!!!!!!!! I have had 3 panic attacks I HAD lice (not anymore)(had it like a year ago)
And I had emergency surgery and I had my appendix taken out on November 24th 2014 at 10:32pm
(TMI) anyway it is very stressful and it seems like you have a lot on ur mind
Great tips, especially number five, getting a leg up so you can reach a more steady state of mind can be so useful in recovery, it's like using a crutch or a plaster, it makes it easier to avoid things getting worse and more difficult to manage, like having to hop everywhere, or keep a cut away from anything that could dirty it.
One thing that works for me when I need to reduce anxiety is being creative, focusing on creating a drawing, a sculpture or a narrative keeps my mind busy, even if it's something small and unimportant, where small mistakes that happen when I'm stressed don't matter, it's about the process calming me rather than the resulting piece being pleasing or perfect.
Kati, I am a first year undergrad psychology major and I already know that I want to go into graduate studies and become a psychologist/therapist. In addition, I struggle from a lot of anxiety issues. Your videos are AMAZING, they not only give me advice, but they provide me with perspective on other issues that I am sure I will help clients with in the future. I just wanted to say, thank you so, SO much! You're the best! :D
Idk why but when I get scared or if I’m imagining bad things my heart pounds quickly and my breathing shortens what should I do
I know of a powerful man who can help you and you will be healed permanently
My throat aching, tears sliding without any warning, silently hiding just because a thought came though my head saying "am i living? Or just existing?"
Edit: ow nawh
Thanks for the tips, guidelines and for motivating.
Breathing exercises have worked for me. Writing about my feelings has also worked well. Texting with friends about it is also very good.

I am having anxiety about this LCSW test!!!!!!!!!!
I have been watching these clips for the last two days now as my anxiety has kicked off again and feels like it's geared up another notch! Nothing bad has happened to trigger just my mind as usual overthinking again ... I have been a little stressed and I find a little walking helpful but then I fear when I get home it's Gona kick off again. So now Kati I have developed a fear of coming home 🙈😩 I work from home so I feel in a bad situation
Your voice and Ora even online is helpful ... your energy is positive and felt even online :) thanks
Hey Kati! New Crash Course Psychology today which is all about OCD and Anxiety Disorders! COINCIDENCE! :D
You are so beautiful. Thanks for the vid
Very helpful. I just had my first episode of anxiety 3 weeks ago. Its just getting worst from there..but I'm sure this can help. Thank you for making videos like this.
Kati your videos are really helpful, I want to thank you for doing them. If I lived in California I would want you to be my therapist.
I have anxiety all the time, with me I have no peace moment, I feel like I'm losing my mind little by little and like I can't do something else but to focus on it more and more, I tried exercise, I tried medication, (even for psychosis) and it doesn't help, does someone know if that can cause a person to lose their mind? because mine is really bad, I swear I can't take it anymore, any comment... I would really appreciate it....
+mireya Luna I had anxiety for the past 8 months. Mainly I felt it in my throat. Things DO get better. A lot better. Have a positive attitude and give your brain and body time to recover, just like you would treat a broken bone!
Keep track of progress and improvement as you go along. That helped me stay hopeful and confident.
Do your best to recognize that everything was the same before you had this problem and could be that way again because nothing has changed but your outlook and your body's response your stresses. Your body needs time to recover. Just give it time and have as good of a positive attitude as you can.
Try to facilitate the best possible environment for your recovery, mental and physical. If you're not mentally ready to recover yet then just be patient with yourself and slowly you will return to normal. Stay hopeful and confident. In time you will give up the things that give you anxiety and your body will recover in suit.
Love yourself as best you can. Anxiety is normal even if it is unwanted. You don't deserve any anxiety. :)
What helped me a lot too is not isolating myself when I started to recover. When you're ready to talk to others just in a friendly way about things that are fun you will instantly recover. The more you do it when you feel up to it the better you will get. At first I'd say just do whatever you need to do to calm yourself so you can recover and be at peace, and not anxious.
Also taking walks helped me a lot and getting some fresh air.
I also liked to eat Lifesaver candies, I did a lot of harm to my teeth but it was a fun magical dance of fruit in my mouth and it reminded me to not take life too seriously. It also distracted me.
Try not to think too much about it and stay focused on your goals.
Don't get frustrated with how fast you're going, like I said it took me 8 months and I still have some bit to recover but it's 98% better. Don't get frustrated! Don't feel guilty! Your sickness is normal and expected. It will take time and it does get better, your mind will come back to it's natural state. Always stay on top of when you are getting better and don't be complacent with yourself. Challenge yourself to be normal, the way you want to, and eventually you will reach your center once again, once your body and mind change.

I humbly thank you for being the God you are and I want you to be happy because you are one of a kind, like everything is in the universe.
thank you for your comment, one big question: what kind of relaxation techniques did you used? I tried everyone and it doesn't do anything, it just makes me more anxious and more obsessed with the idea of getting better, which ones worked for you; I'm talking like about breathing and things like that, wich ones did you used? thank you so much for yolur answer :)
+mireya Luna Play gets rid of anxiety.
Knowing that worrying or feeling bad doesn't help anyone or change anything so it's pointless. :P
Going for a walk if you're up to it and looking at the sky and the trees and the houses.
I would eat Lifesavers for fun and to distract myself. Raisins and organic corn chips with salsa. Honey. Honey BBQ chips. Eggs in the morning. Candy Canes. Bananas. Bacon. Eating things I enjoy. :)
And time and forgetting.
You don't deserve anxiety and you will get better.

Look that up.
Riston Alaimo oh ok I didn't see that part haha, well thank you so much, I'm a little bit on the obsessive side so it's a little bit hard to get rid of my thoughts and feelings, I think and think until the thoughts in my head feel all over the place, but I will try to do those things you tell me, thank you so much :)
James Breakiron I'm the same, I really can't stand it anymore, I think about killing myself every day (and tried once) but I'm way to coward to do it, I tried everything everybody told me, but it doesn't help; I don't know what to do, living it's way too painful but dying it's really scary :(
I wanna be normal but anxiety it's bigger 😭 I worry alot
whenever I feel anxious I stop what I'm doing and breath. I don't know why but it seriously helps so much! something That also helps me lots is praying, I acknowledge that I may not know why things are happening but they are all in control. Finally, I like listening to people's problems so I call a friend and get my mind off from mine
Really need this right now. Feeling focusing.. I feel like this can help me (very important exam tomorrow and this horrible anxiety just constantly flows through my body). Thank you so much !(even tho this was uploaded a few years ago)
Yeah... none of this crap has ever worked for me.
yep im getting worse
I've noticed the more I try to study how to get rid of my anxiety the worse it gets.
+Mr Oakley There's a quote that might help you. "You're never going to get better unless you stop trying to get better."
Thanks for the suggestion, Nia. :-) I'm trying to stay drug free tho. Less stress and a little love in my life would probably do me wonders.
I'll look into I I guess. I took benzos for a bit and it was AWFUL.
I hate to be negative, but personally I don't agree with much of this advice, on the fact that it seems to be about avoiding dealing with the feeling. I don't want to have five people who I can burden with my problems at all times, because nobody wants to listen to someone rant about their own shit.
I agree that keeping busy is something that is very important for the anxious (ie. hyperactive) mind to pursue. But what about if you wake up on a day off, with zero plans, and the anxiety hits you like a tsunami. The only way out is to deal with the feeling head on, as best as you can. At which point, these tips don't do much :(
That "Nobody wants to someone rant about their own shit" is your anxiety talking. People who care for you do not mind listening to you. Ever. Especially if you need them.
Hey Kati!! ^_^
I really love your videos. They have helped me alot :) I have been watching them (and I already subscribed to your channel) since about mid-April when my grandmother passed away (and yes, I have watched your "Grief and Grieving' video. It's actually how I found your channel :) ) I have been dealing with anxiety since about junior year in high school (I just started my junior year in college a few weeks ago), and what I have found that helps me is breathing exercises, listening to calming music, having somewhere there just rubbing me/comforting me (although I try not to be around people whenever I have a panic attack; not sure why, I guess I feel embarrassed), meditation, prayer, sleep (although I usually do this after the anxiety passes, because it drains me; in fact, it's probably one of the reasons why my anxiety is so bad sometimes, because I'm always sleep-deprived), I think having a healthy diet can also help in reducing anxiety. Also, I don't really do this very often, but I feel like counting would help if you are going through a panic attack. Like counting to 10 or 20). Your first point you talk about is keeping busy. But I feel like that would exacerbate the anxiety, no? At least for me, it would stress me out even more, knowing that I have something I need to be doing, and it would add to the pressure, when inside my head it's like a pressure cooker about to explode. For me, when I am having a panic attack, I start to shake, and my breathing (and pulse) gets really irregular. I know how much you stress the importance of psychiatric help and getting on meds and such, but honestly, I am uncomfortable going on meds and I prefer to deal with it naturally if I can.
PS I have also 'followed' you on Fb and Tumblr as well ^_^
Thanks for sharing Kati. This is evergreen content. Wow so many people are feeling this way. The first tip really works. And I would like to add to it doing something you love every day. When I do that it helps to feel much calmer overall. I did a video on some of things that worked for me because I know that it's a very unpleasant feeling ❤. Stay safe everyone !
Talking to someone while im having an anxiety attack just makes my anxiety worse lol...
Talk to Jesus
Anyone here who struggles to sleep? And cant stop nega thoughts?

You are great! Good vibs. Thanks so much for the tips. The breathing videos are the best.
thanks @kati morton ur videos helps me really to get out of anaxiety thank you very much.
Great tips :-) just hearing a friends voice and walking.. or in fact just getting out and about and listening to music really helps me. I still suffer worst at night though when in trying to sleep x
I agree that nights are hard. Music helps me a lot too, and also poetry for me. Walking is good, and I love it, although I can't get out every day or go far, for physical and mental health reasons.
those advices was a godsend to me really thank you
