Enough anxiety over a long period of time can tip over in to a horrible depression simply because it’s exhausting to live under constant worry, that will lower mood
Just discovered and subscribed to your channel as I'm currently in a pretty severe sensitized state with the depression/exhaustion as well. I look for people who have been there too and know/ use Claire Weeks work. Thank you

Wow this was a absolutely awesome explanation 🙏💕 ive been watching your videos on anxiety, which is something i do more than "depressiveness ",but that been said ive noticed alot of these troughs lately, that you are discussing 🙏 thankyou for helping makesm sense of this . Sam can i ask your opinion with this work, about positive visualization and embidying past experiences of feelings of feeling good/happy/calm and bringing that into the now (brain retraining ) -is this useful or in doing ths is it "not allowing " or "forcing" a state change? Ive done a brain retraining course which teaches this type of thing. Thankyou sooo much for any advice 👌🙏💕
Glad you are enjoying the videos. Positive visualisation and trying to embody warm emotions & positive feelings is great - I recommend doing it without expectation and if anxious thoughts arise as you do it, allow them to surface and don't try to mask any anxiety symptoms or difficult thoughts with positivity.
Dear Samuel Eddy, can i use the floating technique for processing emtoions like rage, grief or sadness? In other words, is the floating technique a universal way to process emotions? Or we have to use different behaviors for processing different emotions?
Absolutely! Floating allows for emotions to arise and process through our system without trying to shut them down or get overwhelmed by them. Very useful for grief and anger.
How do I know I am recovered? I think you didn't do video about it. Is that means anxiety will go away forever completely? What recovered really means . X thank you
Hey Samuel I’ve been agoraphobic since 2009 but since 2022 I’ve been in a severe anxiety cycle with 24/7 symptoms. SSRIs didn’t work for me, benzos work but I stopped taking them cause i didn’t want to be dependent. Is there any way we can talk in private? Thank you
Hello, Sorry to hear you are in a tough spot. Yes you can book a coaching session with me via this link or send me a message via my website if you have any questions openchange.com.au/anxiety-coaching/
Thankyou Sam Really helpful explanation of why anxiety can make you feel so depleted and how accepting/allowing is key. Do you have any advice on how to teach the brain to accept the anxiety symptoms in the moment without accepting that these symptoms are here permanently? Sometimes when I allow the symptoms, it feels like I’m giving up on recovery. Hope this makes sense
Yeah...I hear you, too! My biggest what if that gets me every time is that because it has been taking so long it must be permanent and therefore difficult to accept and not try to feel better. Fuels the depression.
Great question - by allowing & accepting you are removing the lid on the anxiety pressure cooker and desensitising your nervous system. As you float through symptoms, that IS teaching the brain that these symptoms are unpleasant but not dangerous. Therefore with practice and time, the body will reduce the frequency and intensity of anxiety which is how you recover. Try this practice to accept and allow: th-cam.com/users/liveHxw4R5Ty9_U?si=7oWHaa3ut1R8axjL
Ive been a month and half with it how come its not lifted yet im doing my same daily life still , i feel disconnected and in my own head constant dread and worry xx
Please help me. I keep going to bed early 3, 4, 5, 6pm. I live on my own and am out of work last 7 months with depression/anxiety. I have no friends. I find it so hard to get a routine. I was good for two weeks and stayed out of bed till 10, 11pm. Then got hit with a setback last week. It really hit me hard. Just so tired of this 8 months now. Can you please please help me 😢
Since practicing allowing for two weeks, anxiety, burning and tingling in my feet are much worse. Also my vision is even blurrier. Just had a good report from the eye doctor. It's hard to keep going while feeling so terrible. Any suggestions?
I have a number of videos to explain why symptoms get worse as we start to practice so hopefully this playlist on setbacks helps th-cam.com/play/PLRWr4VF71u__G2dZ7PYAyEyhorcxQ4EXF.html&si=hyuR7BijuBQgSnTD

Enough anxiety over a long period of time can tip over in to a horrible depression simply because it’s exhausting to live under constant worry, that will lower mood
Absolutely and especially if we don't understand anxiety or how we have ended up in the anxiety state
You are so right about and anxiety and depression going together. I love how you say it is not serious. Just those words make it feel not scary.
Glad it helped Mollie.
