Don't know who needs to see this, but I have let my symptoms be there and when I was feeling really anxious and out of breathe which literally anything used to trigger it for me to be out of breath, now I let it be there and I don't react to it in a way like I need to do something. I just allow what is happening, I don't ignore it but I just let myself be anxious and honestly in just a minute I'm back to normal again cause I tell myself it's just anxiety and theres nothing wrong . And really it works and it boosts your confidence to go out more cause you not scared to handle it anywhere.
But how do you let them be there I have tried so hard to just let them be there but it doesn’t work, sometimes when I’m at the stores or just when I’m out I feel so uncomfortable and so anxious that I might lose control I try to allow them but I can’t I find it so hard
if u got everything rolled out by your doctor and everything is fine. just let it be there, when it come just welcome it and don’t react to it like if it’s there that’s fine if it’s not that’s find too, I know it’s hard at first to accept but believe me it will go away once u start accepting it and not react to it, see when u react to it your nervous system will be l sanitised more and so the cycle carry on But when u don’t react to it u give your nervous system a chance to rest and heal, but most importantly u have to remember that it takes time so u have to focus on long term recovery, and also I would recommend you to read “ hope and help for your nerve by Dr.claire weekes” it helps.
@@SamSam-ew7hb I haven’t becuase my anxiety was caused by weed and I don’t get physical symptoms at all it’s just I get these weird feelings sometimes and my hands also feel super weird, I also have dpdr with makes me feel like I’m in someone else’s body and makes me feel like my feets my hands aren’t mine it’s just so random
And I’m like so so tired of feeling this way becuase I haven’t heard no one feel the same way I do and I have been thinking a lot lately and trying to analyze it and it got even worse
@@lupitapichardo5183 I would recommend to speak with your doctor first, if everything is fine then it’s cause by anxiety and the fact that u r focusing in it it’s getting worst because ur body is reacting to it with fear, next time just rest and try to accept it, and have u stopped the weed !?
So true … I learned this from you a time ago … just letting it be there .. living life normally, laughing , going out … and slowly slowly my anxiety dizziness is going away 🥺thank God and thank you!
Yeah, if we resist the symptoms, the brain will see those symptoms like a threat. And it will create the cycle of Anxiety. The key is to let Anxiety symptoms hit you everyday and the intensity will drop gradually. And in fact Anxiety did hit you everyday in the past but because the intensity was very low and gone so quickly that why you wouldn't notice it.
Same, I had a subtle dizziness for months, and when I assumed a posture of surrender and allowed myself to just be present in the moment, the symptoms would gradually subside. I had a recent setback where I noticed that I was stammering on words occasionally, and became hyperfocused again and soon enough my other symptoms (restlessness, dizziness..ect) started to reappear. He's 100% correct that its not easy to just let go and let your symptoms be there, but eventually you will see glimmers of progress even if you have setbacks.
@@subculture9119 at first I was afraid of setbacks but now I see them as opportunities to recover, I challange them to appear, and once the appear they come in lower intensity, it is kind of weird how recovery works, but it is true.
i was soo frustated by his videos also at beginning and i always thought its not working but now i am fully recovered only by shaaan and his videos and i can tell you all how big weapon is ACCEPTANCE is for anxiety recovery trust me
I bought his blueprint recovery book but i get the acceptance part. The difficult thing is that even though i accept it i keep the urge to “accept to make it go away” any advice on that which made the correct switch for you?
@@stormtradersthe thing is to understand that there is nothing wrong with your body and it’s doing exactly what is it designed to do. Accept that and stop being afraid of any and all symptoms. Practice being comfortable with them. When you stop caring slowly they start going away. Now it’s a slow process so pls be patient. It’s all about practice. All the best.
I have been in fix it mode for awhile also how do you stop it? Like I started gym,eating better, different therapy's,and always looking for the next thing that may cure my anxiety
So, constantly going to doctors and getting prescriptions for all sorts of anxiety meds, SSRI's, SNRI's, benzos etc, that either do nothing to help, or kind of mask the anxiety but not actually help you recover from it, or sometimes even make you feel 100x worse, is all just a huge waste of time and money and is just preventing you from accepting the anxiety and learning that it just feels uncomfortable but it's not actually harming you and you don't need to fear it, and if you just stop fighting it, stop being scared of it, stop constantly being anxious about feeling anxious, then it will just eventually stop happening, because in effect you are making it happen yourself by being scared and anxious of it happening......
but it takes a while right? like I shouldn’t be concerned if i’m accepting and not reacting to the chronic symptoms I have and they’re still not going away? like I do that but then I feel like they either get worse and then I just get scared or they are still there even after I accepted them. does it just take time for the chronic pain/symptoms to go away?
Literally was battling extreme health anxiety for weeks symptoms got worse the past two days to the point I was so stressed I wasn’t eating couldn’t get my mindset to shift watched this video and washed my face and have now never felt better, I don’t know what it was maybe the way Shaan explains it but I had people telling me it’s all in my head I’m getting myself worked up things I knew but couldn’t mentally get myself to change being a natural worrier, I was already trying everything to stop myself from panicking but nothing worked watched this and I instantly felt a shift in mindset. Thank you Shaan
I think this video is one of the most effective videos ive seen in this channel. Thank You shaan for guiding us to recovery because of you i understand what is mechanics anxiety. Just let it be there You dont need to fix this The more you resist the more it will happen. Those are the shaan angelic words that helps me to recovery ♥️
I've come along way from where I was 2 years ago. I remember watching this video then. I could never understand what it meant then but now in my journey I can honestly say I fully understand what you mean. Thanks for the talks brother. I'm really understanding
Thank you Jesus you place your angels at my reach when I need them the most... this man is a present from God follow his instructions kind of like the Bible biblical instructions before leaving earth... he preaches the truth the way to a happy life God bless this Man...Shaan kassala...
i think God led me to him because a few hours before i found shaans account i said in my prayers “jesus control my mind and show me how to get better “ and suddenly i felt a urge to look up my state on yt

You are the first person to have helped me with. The mind. Did not no about thoughts. Did have a clue so your videos. Then. I. So thanks my friend again great ❤️🙏🇬🇧😎
Hi Shaan thank you so so very much for everything you’ve done for society with the Facebook group and this wonderful channel. There is one thing I have always wanted to ask you and I find it somewhat striking that it has never really been fully covered: the large representation of men, perhaps disproportionally so, in the videos telling their stories and offering hope. Is this something done consciously on your part to shed desperately needed light on the plague of emotional issues that effect men but is rarely, if ever, spoken about? Or is it simply a coincidence? I say this because as a young kid with severe anxiety I always remember people tell me boys don’t experience that, only girls do. And even as an adult in my 20s and older every time anxiety attacks were discussed on TV and the media it was almost exclusively about women, by women. What a shame. I am embarrassed to have to admit that at a juncture in my life I thought that I was not only the only man that went through this, but that somehow I was “less“ of a man, as ludicrous as that sounds. You have no idea how the large representation of guys in these videos and of course your very own presence and guidance have brought remarkable help to me and to other male friends of mine. If I may, perhaps it would be a good idea if you dedicated an entire, and long, video on this subject matter. That would be phenomenal. Hey man, you’re getting all the guys to talk about their feelings and panics! Keep it going! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sadly I overcame panic attacks while I am home but somehow I can’t do it when I am driving . Feel like I will loose control behind the wheel . At home at least I know that I won’t kill anyone . Being in the road with this scary sensations is the most crippling . So dependent on family to take me places 😥 I loved to drive before but suddenly out of the blue one day on the freeway I started getting the scary sensations and I stopped driving . Any good guidance ? Thanks 🙏
Maybe take baby steps? Ie. Don’t try to drive to an errands, just set your goal on driving around the house, play your favorite music and bring a friend. The next day, bump it up to a longer drive, again just in your neighbourhood . Gradually, just drive a little more and farther, and know that if you feel funny, you can just pull over and practice deep breathing. I have found affirmations, daily. To help me so far … god bless.
Thanks for your content Shaan, I love your videos. I went through this in 2013, I read the book " at last a life" by paul david, and it helped alot. Do you have advice on dealing with a fear of anxiety relapse? I went through alot of stressors this year and in February I went through a mini relapse after all these years.
Can u make a video on anxiety and being phycially in-active scared of symptoms due to physical activities. Or exercise in general. (Exercise & anxiety) ?
How r u now? Physical activities sometimes make my heart rate go high and then I feel like my heart is fluttering that's the most scary thing that's why I don't exercise much do u have Instagram ?

hello shaan thank you for all your help you give us all. is it normal to feel a little depressed too? like feeling a little down? and is it normal to feel down and than feel better at diffrent times of the day?. i used to smoke weed and i quit because it just makes my anxiety worse personally i think it may have caused my anxiety too is that possible?, for some people it helps but thats not the case for me. what about the head heavy feeling is that normal? i get this weird feeling in my head its almost like a depressing anxious state but it makes my head feel weird. iv had so many tests done and they have said im healthy. i never had problems of anxiety it only really started affecting me after i had a huge panic attack when i was high and i thought that i was dying and it was very sudden and once again i got very scared because i was playing my computer and out of no where my head went blank and i jumped up and started saying something is wrong i need help and my mates told me to relax and the panic started fading away slowly but i still had lingering affects afterwards for hours i felt nervous and anxious and was in a scared state all the way until i fell asleep is that normal? im learning to control my anxiety and iv been doing very well but today i felt a little depressed is it normal to be doing well and have some bad days?. does anyone els get a feeling like there is something wrong? but dont know what it is?. is it normal to be anxious when tired? sometimes i feel like im anxious but dont have any reason to be is that normal?. people say derealization is feeling like cut off from reality and that is how i feel but i alsp feel foggy in my head and i habe feelings of worry and feeling scared and very head spacious at times. its like i almost feel high even when im sober is that normal? some days my head feels foggy and some days it feels very clear. i no longer smoke at all and iv been drinking so much water and i have made my diet as healthy as can be. i spend time with my love ones as much as i can. i keep looking for answers. shaan is right i need to stop resisting. i am trying and i will forever keep trying until i win. its all very new to me im only 19 and i live in the uk. iv been through stress in my life and im a very big control freak i like things around me to be in order. before my anxiety i used to be a huge over thinker i would always think about the negative things in my life and i would put myself into a angry state because of it. i no longer think about anything negative anymore and i keep eveything in my life postive, i always habs love and appreciated the people around me that i love, but now i appreciate them more than i ever have. im constantly checking my heart rate too is that normal?. iv had so many hospital visits waiting in A&E for hours apon hours at a time just to be told everytime that im fine. i had to watch a mate of mine have a seizure on christmas it was horrible even typing this rn nakes me feel very uncomfortable hit happened whilst he was talking to me. suddenly he fell to the floor and i was screaming for my father to help me. i called him an ambulance and thank god he come out fine and is okay now.iv felt scared about my own health ever since then any body sensation that i get i convince myself that something is terribly wrong. living like this is physically and mentally. i hope someone is able to understand me. please help me nd give me advice on what you all think i can and should do. i love you all i hope your all okay im just a scared person trying to look for help and answers please
Mate I totally relate to what u saying. It's like a feeling that something bad is gonna happen all of a sudden and I feel high even tho i don't smoke. It's like I'm in this world where everything I think about is my symtoms and how to cure it. My life was completely different now I feel lightheaded and feel like I'm stoned. Do u have Instagram?
Hey shan, I am experiencing body pain and my doctors said it's due to anxiety . I have been trying what you recommend but should I just let the pain be, even if it hurts badly?? Thank you ❣️❣️
When people say let it go or don't fix it, does that mean do nothing when I feel the feeling of panic creeping up? Usually I stand up and walk in place and it helps soothe that feeling away. Is that prolonging the process? My panic always starts in my chest. (All tests ran twice and came back normal for my heart, and was told I have a very healthy heart) But my panic always starts there. It feels like a weight or tightness. Getting up and walking in place getting my heart pumping a bit helps soothe that feeling so I don't go into full blown panic. But I don't want to keep doing that if it's inevitably prolonging the recovery process.
Did you ever lose your taste bud or your taste bud mess up after a panic or anxiety attack? Also did you have phsntosmia or false smells smelling something that wasn't there. I got all these symptoms after I started fighting anxiety after I had got an illness and they put me on a seizure medication because the anxiety brought on absent seizures. The seizure medication caused the anxiety to get worst and they put me on an anxiety medication that made the symptoms worse. I only took it one time because of how it made me feel but it wasnt easy to calm down from it. It's way better than it was but stress and sadness triggers the anxiety now.
In anxiety disorder, the head is always heavy, sometimes it hurts, there is a very bad feeling. I feel like something is going to happen to my head. Then I get very scared. Cityscan came up normal. Is it normal to have anxiety? How to recover from such severe headache. Has anyone recovered from such a situation?
I have only one “ what if” what if anxiety is keeping you from sleeping at night ? Sure you can operate with anxiety during th day but what about mental and physical exhaustion ?
My question is, is watching these videos part of doing something about it? Like running to look out shaan’s videos once you can’t sleep, or get palpitations and other symptoms.
Hi Shaan, does it apply to OCD. I know to throw eveything under the anxiety umbrella, but it is so difficult to not see OCD as the same beast. It makes me constantly feel that whatever you say does not apply to my case. I desparately need help, please.
How do you allow it when thoughts and panic is so intense as much as u try to accept it... i just keep obessing over my anxiety and getting bad panic attacks even in my sleep im getting them .... any advice please ?
I was also expieriencing this. As soon as my body knew I was awake the anxiety hit and the thoughts came all at once. I tried shaans 10minute meditation video everymorning for 3 days and each day it got better and now I'm anxiety free when I open my eyes. Give it a try. I hope u feel better soon x
Dizziness and chest pain and headaches are so hard to ignore. I don’t know how to stop trying to fix that. Today the chest pain also came back 🙁 thanks for the video, I just wan5 so bad to not be dizzy anymore. 🥺
@@editinglearn4395 Yes, your mind wants you to sit down and try to figure out why you are feeling the way you feel, if there was a lion waiting for you outside your room wouldnt you want to just sit down and ruminate on how to solve this problem? Even if your friends called you and told you lets hang out, if there is a scary problem then you wouldnt want to leave because you want to figure it out. But! Anxiety recovery is reteaching your mind that there is nothing wrong, so what would a person without anxiety do? He would hangout with his friends even if he doesnt feel like it, until your brain realizes that there is nothing wrong :)
It's soooo confusing..... Trying to understand the devious ways your brain Nd nervous system wrecks you're life.....yes..we all want our symptoms to go away.... They appear..and we spiral down worrying.....but..accepting what you're body is doing.... Sounds all very rational....the brain is creating these things..... But... acknowledging the pains..the sensations...trying not to focus on them....but..letting them do their stuff ... I just can't seem to manage this very often.....
Just take 5 mins and tell yourself your safe your not in danger and your healthy. Keep doing this each time and just allow the anxiety knot to be there and it will get easier as time goes on. I'm a SA victim and suffer really bad with anxiety but shaans videos have been a life changer for me
@@michellehuinter2166I read your reply. I'm so glad for you. I'm not doing well. I wasn't a SA victim.. sorry you experienced that. I'm a victim of myself. I sabotage everything o enjoy, or love to do. I ended up loosing everything. I had a horrifying mental breakdown when I foolishly lost my career job of 20yrs... I can't believe what I did. I just hated myself so much , you could imagine the damage you do to yourself when you blame yourself for everything. I have nothing now,. I lost everything I had, including my mind. I'm always in Panic mode with guilt., regret and the ruminating of all my losses and mistakes. How do you get rod of self blame?.. is it possible? I'm going to try what you said... hope it works for me. Thanks
Question: do you ever return to the (pre-)condition/state in which you used to be in before your very first panic attack showed up ? I do think o.s. can get over it for good, but the one thing you can't do is to erase the whole suffering road off of your memory. What do you think about it ?
I remember once I traveled to turkey I was going through terrible symptoms, very thick DPDR, and after getting better I remember some moments and it honestly wasn't that bad. I am sure it was so bad back then but looking back, it feels a bit nostalgic. I know where you are coming from, and I have been in your stage and I also thought that even if I manage to come out this scared me for life, but it honestly isn't, it is just the anxiety talking, so just focus on the right steps for now and keep it simple, don't overthink it.
Soo. I have chest and back pain and heart pounding all the time. Then little things trigger and make it worse. So are you saying letting it happen trying not to fix it. In time will go away? Keep telling myself. That I am ok!! Been dealing with this for 6yrs. Been in ER 4 times over time. So ready to get back to my family💖 thanks for these videos.
The hardest thing is you can have ten symptoms gwt them all checked and they will change and be something new and worse. Your bqck at square one. And we all know thay jjst because we ar enot havjng a heart attack right now it doeant mean it cant happen next week
I thought I beat my panic attacks and anxiety that I had as a kid. But at 43 it came back as insomnia one bad night led to anxiety about not sleeping. Still no panic attacks but can't stop intrusive thoughts and feelings of depression. I know it's all in my head but can't stop worrying about it.
@@willyb3070 mines all over the place, the problem of mine is even tho im aware its only my anxiety and panic my brain tells me something is dearly wrong thats the part that i hate
Hi Sean dats exactly what happened to me healed myself for about 2years then bang got envolved in the thoughts and within a month I was back to square one again if not worse than ever so it's easy let yourself get back to being sensitised again the journey begins again 🙏

Sadly I overcame panic attacks while I am home but somehow I can’t do it when I am driving . Feel like I will loose control behind the wheel . At home at least I know that I won’t kill anyone . Being in the road with this scary sensations is the most crippling . So dependent on family to take me places 😥 I loved to drive before but suddenly out of the blue one day on the freeway I started getting the scary sensations and I stopped driving . Any good guidance ? Thanks 🙏
Maybe take baby steps? Ie. Don’t try to drive to an errands, just set your goal on driving around the house, play your favorite music and bring a friend. The next day, bump it up to a longer drive, again just in your neighbourhood . Gradually, just drive a little more and farther, and know that if you feel funny, you can just pull over and practice deep breathing. I have found affirmations, daily. To help me so far … god bless.
Thanks for your content Shaan, I love your videos. I went through this in 2013, I read the book " at last a life" by paul david, and it helped alot. Do you have advice on dealing with a fear of anxiety relapse? I went through alot of stressors this year and in February I went through a mini relapse after all these years.
How do I get my sleep back
Just came across your channel. So far so good Shaan.
Welcome aboard!
Can u make a video on anxiety and being phycially in-active scared of symptoms due to physical activities. Or exercise in general. (Exercise & anxiety) ?
How r u now? Physical activities sometimes make my heart rate go high and then I feel like my heart is fluttering that's the most scary thing that's why I don't exercise much do u have Instagram ?
@@Ayushkimi yes . Tell me yours I'll text
Great question ! I have avoided exercise for 2 years .. looking to start again

hello shaan thank you for all your help you give us all. is it normal to feel a little depressed too? like feeling a little down? and is it normal to feel down and than feel better at diffrent times of the day?. i used to smoke weed and i quit because it just makes my anxiety worse personally i think it may have caused my anxiety too is that possible?, for some people it helps but thats not the case for me. what about the head heavy feeling is that normal? i get this weird feeling in my head its almost like a depressing anxious state but it makes my head feel weird. iv had so many tests done and they have said im healthy. i never had problems of anxiety it only really started affecting me after i had a huge panic attack when i was high and i thought that i was dying and it was very sudden and once again i got very scared because i was playing my computer and out of no where my head went blank and i jumped up and started saying something is wrong i need help and my mates told me to relax and the panic started fading away slowly but i still had lingering affects afterwards for hours i felt nervous and anxious and was in a scared state all the way until i fell asleep is that normal? im learning to control my anxiety and iv been doing very well but today i felt a little depressed is it normal to be doing well and have some bad days?. does anyone els get a feeling like there is something wrong? but dont know what it is?. is it normal to be anxious when tired? sometimes i feel like im anxious but dont have any reason to be is that normal?. people say derealization is feeling like cut off from reality and that is how i feel but i alsp feel foggy in my head and i habe feelings of worry and feeling scared and very head spacious at times. its like i almost
feel high even when im sober is that normal? some days my head feels foggy and some days it feels very clear. i no longer smoke at all and iv been drinking so much water and i have made my diet as healthy as can be. i spend time with my love ones as much as i can. i keep looking for answers. shaan is right i need to stop resisting. i am trying and i will forever keep trying until i win. its all very new to me im only 19 and i live in the uk. iv been through stress in my life and im a very big control freak i like things around me to be in order. before my anxiety i used to be a huge over thinker i would always think about the negative things in my life and i would put myself into a angry state because of it. i no longer think about anything negative anymore and i keep eveything in my life postive, i always habs love and appreciated the people around me that i love, but now i appreciate them more than i ever have. im constantly checking my heart rate too is that normal?. iv had so many hospital visits waiting in A&E for hours apon hours at a time just to be told everytime that im fine. i had to watch a mate of mine have a seizure on christmas it was horrible even typing this rn nakes me feel very uncomfortable hit happened whilst he was talking to me. suddenly he fell to the floor and i was screaming for my father to help me. i called him an ambulance and thank god he come out fine and is okay now.iv felt scared about my own health ever since then any body sensation that i get i convince myself that something is terribly wrong. living like this is physically and mentally. i hope someone is able to understand me. please help me nd give me advice on what you all think i can and should do. i love you all i hope your all okay im just a scared person trying to look for help and answers please
Mate I totally relate to what u saying. It's like a feeling that something bad is gonna happen all of a sudden and I feel high even tho i don't smoke. It's like I'm in this world where everything I think about is my symtoms and how to cure it. My life was completely different now I feel lightheaded and feel like I'm stoned. Do u have Instagram?
Hey shan, I am experiencing body pain and my doctors said it's due to anxiety . I have been trying what you recommend but should I just let the pain be, even if it hurts badly??
Thank you ❣️❣️
When people say let it go or don't fix it, does that mean do nothing when I feel the feeling of panic creeping up? Usually I stand up and walk in place and it helps soothe that feeling away. Is that prolonging the process? My panic always starts in my chest. (All tests ran twice and came back normal for my heart, and was told I have a very healthy heart) But my panic always starts there. It feels like a weight or tightness. Getting up and walking in place getting my heart pumping a bit helps soothe that feeling so I don't go into full blown panic. But I don't want to keep doing that if it's inevitably prolonging the recovery process.
Did you ever lose your taste bud or your taste bud mess up after a panic or anxiety attack? Also did you have phsntosmia or false smells smelling something that wasn't there. I got all these symptoms after I started fighting anxiety after I had got an illness and they put me on a seizure medication because the anxiety brought on absent seizures. The seizure medication caused the anxiety to get worst and they put me on an anxiety medication that made the symptoms worse. I only took it one time because of how it made me feel but it wasnt easy to calm down from it. It's way better than it was but stress and sadness triggers the anxiety now.
Yes I remember where I could barely taste the food or bubble gum I was eating then after it went away i noticed I was having panic attack
In anxiety disorder, the head is always heavy, sometimes it hurts, there is a very bad feeling. I feel like something is going to happen to my head. Then I get very scared. Cityscan came up normal. Is it normal to have anxiety? How to recover from such severe headache. Has anyone recovered from such a situation?
Full acceptance, and letting go of control of it since we can't control it.
When u say resisting when your calm your self down are u not resisting your anxiety
but why exactly is that? When i dont resist that the anxiety goes away? What exactly is the mechanism behind that??
Shaan? R u there? Anyone reading this?
I feel like sometimes there's something going on in the body like unresolved trauma or deficiencies.
I have only one “ what if” what if anxiety is keeping you from sleeping at night ? Sure you can operate with anxiety during th day but what about mental and physical exhaustion ?
So i should quit gym,trying to eat better, other therapys, relaxation stuff because i started all that to try and fix this?
Do it for enjoyment not with the purpose of fixing it
My question is, is watching these videos part of doing something about it? Like running to look out shaan’s videos once you can’t sleep, or get palpitations and other symptoms.
Hi Shaan, does it apply to OCD. I know to throw eveything under the anxiety umbrella, but it is so difficult to not see OCD as the same beast. It makes me constantly feel that whatever you say does not apply to my case. I desparately need help, please.
How do you allow it when thoughts and panic is so intense as much as u try to accept it... i just keep obessing over my anxiety and getting bad panic attacks even in my sleep im getting them .... any advice please ?
I was also expieriencing this. As soon as my body knew I was awake the anxiety hit and the thoughts came all at once. I tried shaans 10minute meditation video everymorning for 3 days and each day it got better and now I'm anxiety free when I open my eyes. Give it a try. I hope u feel better soon x
Dizziness and chest pain and headaches are so hard to ignore. I don’t know how to stop trying to fix that. Today the chest pain also came back 🙁 thanks for the video, I just wan5 so bad to not be dizzy anymore. 🥺
I never said ignore :)
Same here!
@@byebyepanic well what are u saying :(
@@byebyepanic thank you, I need to change my mindset, I appreciate everything you do.
@@avamiller2325 we will get through this!
Will it work for social anxiety
Hey shaan, is it normal to feel heaviness or tightness in one or other side of body if you have anxiety… please do reply if you can.. just curious
I learn how to relax my mind but the anxiety symptoms is still coming why?
Because you are trying to run away from them, the correct way is “if the symptom come then no problem because it is not dangerous”
@@ShiltawiHD oh ok buddy thx
@@ShiltawiHD but i have a question is solitude not feeling to hang out with anyone is part of anxiety?
@@editinglearn4395 Yes, your mind wants you to sit down and try to figure out why you are feeling the way you feel, if there was a lion waiting for you outside your room wouldnt you want to just sit down and ruminate on how to solve this problem? Even if your friends called you and told you lets hang out, if there is a scary problem then you wouldnt want to leave because you want to figure it out. But! Anxiety recovery is reteaching your mind that there is nothing wrong, so what would a person without anxiety do? He would hangout with his friends even if he doesnt feel like it, until your brain realizes that there is nothing wrong :)
It's soooo confusing.....
Trying to understand the devious ways your brain Nd nervous system wrecks you're life.....yes..we all want our symptoms to go away....
They appear..and we spiral down worrying.....but..accepting what you're body is doing....
Sounds all very rational....the brain is creating these things.....
But... acknowledging the pains..the sensations...trying not to focus on them....but..letting them do their stuff ...
I just can't seem to manage this very often.....
Same here.. I want a quick simple fix. I get all anxious and confused just listening to all the talking. I just want the answer , what to do.....
I truly wish i had the confidence to do this
Same here.... li just want it to stop, without having to think, or do anything..! I get more panic trying to think what was I have to do.....😮
How do you exactly not resist? And just let the symptoms be?
Just take 5 mins and tell yourself your safe your not in danger and your healthy. Keep doing this each time and just allow the anxiety knot to be there and it will get easier as time goes on. I'm a SA victim and suffer really bad with anxiety but shaans videos have been a life changer for me
@@michellehuinter2166I read your reply. I'm so glad for you.
I'm not doing well. I wasn't a SA victim.. sorry you experienced that. I'm a victim of myself. I sabotage everything o enjoy, or love to do. I ended up loosing everything. I had a horrifying mental breakdown when I foolishly lost my career job of 20yrs... I can't believe what I did. I just hated myself so much , you could imagine the damage you do to yourself when you blame yourself for everything. I have nothing now,. I lost everything I had, including my mind. I'm always in Panic mode with guilt., regret and the ruminating of all my losses and mistakes. How do you get rod of self blame?.. is it possible? I'm going to try what you said... hope it works for me. Thanks
Question: do you ever return to the (pre-)condition/state in which you used to be in before your very first panic attack showed up ?
I do think o.s. can get over it for good, but the one thing you can't do is to erase the whole suffering road off of your memory. What do you think about it ?
I remember once I traveled to turkey I was going through terrible symptoms, very thick DPDR, and after getting better I remember some moments and it honestly wasn't that bad. I am sure it was so bad back then but looking back, it feels a bit nostalgic. I know where you are coming from, and I have been in your stage and I also thought that even if I manage to come out this scared me for life, but it honestly isn't, it is just the anxiety talking, so just focus on the right steps for now and keep it simple, don't overthink it.
@@ShiltawiHD But do u ever return to your old-self like before the first panic attack had 'destroyed' some your happiness in life ?
@@igorpetrov6098 how u feeling now
@@igorpetrov6098did you go back
Soo. I have chest and back pain and heart pounding all the time. Then little things trigger and make it worse. So are you saying letting it happen trying not to fix it. In time will go away? Keep telling myself. That I am ok!! Been dealing with this for 6yrs. Been in ER 4 times over time. So ready to get back to my family💖 thanks for these videos.
go to anxietycentre
Shaan i wanna talk to U.But im Unable to communicate with U due to language pblm.i can understand Basic english.I need Ur Help!
The hardest thing is you can have ten symptoms gwt them all checked and they will change and be something new and worse. Your bqck at square one. And we all know thay jjst because we ar enot havjng a heart attack right now it doeant mean it cant happen next week
Intrusive thoughts dizzyness, heart issue, brain feels werid, dr, dp, stroke, feeling if c word
Most scary feeling is thinking I'll have heart attack or stroke
Yeah u get like that drunk feeling like nothing is real and ur about to die lol
how are you now
Thank you shaan... I really didn't understand this.. I was always to fight... Lmao...
👍🙂🙂
Can anyone honestly tell me they truly recover with any symptoms for years??
Go to the success stories and see for yourself. The people that have recovered aren’t going to waste their time watching videos about anxiety.
Healing, recovery and freedom - it’s possible and many experienced and testify it like Shaan 👍🏽
@@byebyepanicdid you suffer from depression too
I thought I beat my panic attacks and anxiety that I had as a kid. But at 43 it came back as insomnia one bad night led to anxiety about not sleeping. Still no panic attacks but can't stop intrusive thoughts and feelings of depression. I know it's all in my head but can't stop worrying about it.
hello brother how r u doing. im a sufferer too
@@colbychaoscovingtonwarzone7531 still struggling its hard having sleeping problems with a full time job and a wife and 2 kids. How is yours?
@@willyb3070 mines all over the place, the problem of mine is even tho im aware its only my anxiety and panic my brain tells me something is dearly wrong thats the part that i hate
@@willyb3070 mines all over the place bro, i keep feeling like something is wrong or that its more than just anxiety do you know what i mean sir
@@willyb3070 hey sir can i ask you a question, is it normal for my heart rate to go up when im anxious or feeling anxious.
Hi Sean dats exactly what happened to me healed myself for about 2years then bang got envolved in the thoughts and within a month I was back to square one again if not worse than ever so it's easy let yourself get back to being sensitised again the journey begins again 🙏
Come on man. You had a perfect opportunity there. “If you Resist, it will persist.” Put that on a shirt
Lol working on it
Just stop trying. So hard!
Mindset: you dont need to fix this
Seek discomfort 😂
Life just sucks!
Sometimes, it can really suck, but you're not going through this alone. Be strong, brother.
