An anxiety disorder diagnosis does not mean that you are defective, nor that it’s your fault, you’re not broken. The disorder is treatable. It doesn’t have to be permanent! Anxiety is a real and challenging condition where our physiology, our mind, and our experiences get caught up in a cycle of increasing worries and physical symptoms. But that cycle can be turned around with the right knowledge, skills and practice. It may be difficult to break the pattern on your own, but with the right support and resources you can overcome an anxiety disorder!
In this video learn 10 ways you can treat anxiety, decrease stress and become healthier and happier.

The real fix for anxiety: I’m not a doctor so this is just my opinion. Back story, in 2019 I suffered my first panic attack. Long story short, I ended up in hospital for 9 days thinking I was dying due to EXTREME symptoms. On the last day in hospital, my symptoms were so bad I hit derealisation/depersonalisation which lasted 3 months. Including: severe non stop body and leg jerks (Hypnic jerks) 3 months insomnia INCLUDING EVERY SYMPTOM you can imagine X 10. There is literally NO symptom that you can mention, that I haven’t had in the most extreme way. (Other than the DPDR, all my symptoms lasted 4 years and I had them daily.
I stoped driving, had to change my career, stopped playing sports, couldn’t fly, couldn’t sit in a car with people, couldn’t get into an elevator, got overwhelmed in malls. The list goes on and on. I was crippled due to anxiety.
From being comfortable doing one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, to not being able to leave my house…..Even though I used to think anxiety was for attention seeking drama queens as I’d never experienced it before….Anxiety is real and the struggle is real.
Hundreds of hour’s Googling for a cure, TH-cam videos, talking to multiple people, going to doctors, eating clean, exercising, long walks, meditation, yoga, breathing. NOTHING WORKED and personally I decided not to use medication……MY LIFE WAS OVER due to the onslaught of crippling symptoms.
The FIX:
If you are not prepared to do this, then be prepared to have anxiety for the rest of your days.
1: know that your symptoms are not unique, your are not a special case regardless of how bad your symptoms are - many people suffer the same, if not worse than you do.
2) Anxiety is a nervous system sensitisation and your system has had a break down (a nervous breakdown)
3) Your adrenal glands are constantly pumping cortisol into your system even when no threat is present and your ability to handle any stress is SUPER LOW due to constant cortisol and a TiRED BODY AND MIND.
NB NB NB: do this to get your nervous system back to normal:
1) STOP associating your entire life as someone with anxiety:
2)For adults only- DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR ANXIETY TO ANYONE and I mean ANYONE, not your partner, not your friends, not your family, not even as a joke to your animals and not even yourself when in the shower..DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT---Talking about it l keeps it alive and fuels the adrenaline glands- this will be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT but you need to BREAK the habit loop you are in…..and you are in a bad habit loop.
2)DO NOT GOOGLE SYMPTOMS- googling symptoms keeps anxiety alive and fuels it….Break the habit
3)Accept your symptoms accept ALL the symptoms and know they are just anxiety, understand that the cortisol and adrenaline are making you feel this way…ACCEPT the feeling and BE BRAVE, don’t talk about it to anyone, don’t google the symptoms, don’t pitty yourself, don’t look for sympathy from others…Accept the symptom as difficult as it is and do something to keep yourself busy. BE BRAVE you are not your symptom and don’t let that symptom ruin your day, MOVE WITH THE SYMPTOMS, accept it as it will be with you for a while.
First rule of anxiety fix club: Don’t talk about your anxiety:
2nd rule of anxiety fix club: Don’t talk about your anxiety:
Don’t google or TH-cam anything EVER AGAIN about anxiety.
You are in a talking, googling, TH-cam, sympathy seeking BAD HABIT loop…..break it now and your nervous system will start to regulate itself again.
A tip you should incorporate into the above list- if you have “idle moments during your day. Those idle moments can allow you to ruminate on how horrible you feel. Don’t allow this, keep a diary of your day and FILL most of the day with tasks that keep you busy as to take your mind off the feeling, this will also break the habit cycle. Take up a new hobbies, build something, read, do 15min exercises, do puzzles, word searches, do short courses, go for a run, go for a bike ride, learnt to type, try coding just for the hell of it…..literally DO ANYTHING else than just sit there and think about how shit you feel. Fill up your idle time in the day with something, anything.
Then, later add a more detailed exercise and diet plan. A healthy body is a healthy mind.
I did this for only 2 months and yes it was extremely difficult….my wife literally asked me last night? She said, how is your anxiety just gone after 4 years. I said it’s not gone, it’s just that the symptoms are more manageable and less intense.
I flew to Norway last week and sat in the middle seat between 2 strangers. 3 months ago, this thought would have killed me….it was a walk in the park…not one symptom.
Always get cleared from your doctor first as to make sure it’s just anxiety.
Once cleared, try this. You won’t be sorry you did.
Ps don’t talk about your anxiety, not even to yourself.
Really great! Esp idle moments. I used to think laying around and resting for hours on end was healthy for my anxiety but I learned otherwise.
Wow this completely changed my mind, thank you stranger…
You have helped me tremendously in this journey I love all your videos ! God bless you
Also check out this other TH-cam r if you struggle with anxiety. Shaan Kassam. He has helped me so much. I could not go out.. live my life. Now I can travel and go back to living. Good luck.
Learned of Cupid and Psyche... Maybe a myth... Mental health... Physical Health... Couldn't be a witch doctor... Is there a demographic sorta kind more or less suspect... How realistic is THIS
It’s all about health anxiety for most of us these days
Especially with tik tok now days
have been a victim of Anxiety disorder, thanks to #DoctorEromon on TH-cam. I'm getting hold of my self
@salvadortrejo2347 never seen tiktok
I disagree. Not saying that’s not a thing. My anxiety is from being social. Which would be fine since I don’t have friends. But I’ve started freezing in situations where I’m the center of attention. Like at work. If it’s someone I haven’t spoken to a lot and they ask me simple questions. I freeze. Stutter, start word vomiting as fast as I can. I went for an interview for a higher position and I completely shut down. Then after I think about it over and over about how I ruined that situation because I couldn’t just chill until it’s literally 3 days later and I’m still obsessing over it and worrying myself sick over it. I’ve always had a touch of anxiety, but it’s starting to spiral ruin my sleep, job, and who I am. Which is why I’m at this video now. If anyone knows any other good videos let me know. I’ve already gone to a doctor and they literally told me just to deal with it. In nicer words of course. Therapists cost too much in my area.
Yes it is for me
You are one of the best TH-camrs. I hope you know the impact you are making in this world. Lots of love and blessings from my side.
Love how bitesize this video is! Learning about our chimp brain is the most helpful thing to me. 🧠
When you have anxiety for many years it’s easy to forget some obvious and core support ideas, some other things that help me that you could try are
- having a note page on your phone full of sayings and thought that you know soothes you.
- ASMR videos
- knowing you can’t thing positively whilst anxious, ‘it’s like trying to think positively whilst running from a tiger’ relax from the anxiety first then you can slowly start trying to feel positive.
I like the tip of calming down first, then try thinking positively. "You can't think positively while running from a tiger" Thank you 😊👍
But... I CAN think "I'm positively F***ed!!" while running from just about anything! ;o)
Good for you if it works.. But nope, doesn’t work for someone with severe mental disorders and anxiety all of their life and 24/7!
@@heytherenordic7230 I’m sorry to hear that ❤️ it’s definitely not a ‘fix’ and I have many mental health struggles myself outside of anxiety but sometimes when I have started to feel a more generalised anxiety attack come on some of these have helped me. But hope you find something that works for you. ❤️
These are great tips and ideas!
You don't know how thankful I am for this. It's been a pretty rough week for me, I've been applying for jobs to help my family because they're struggling financially and everytime I get a call for an interview I either stare at my phone until it stops ringing, or hang up in the middle of the call because of my anxiety. As a result of this, I've been feeling very guilty and overwhelmed, and have not been sleeping or eating well. I know this isn't healthy and doesn't help me achieve what I'm pursuing (which is to endure the interviews in order to slowly teach my brain that it's safe to try these things), but your video has made me aware of all the tools available to me, and how taking one step at a time will help me more than trying it all at once. So, to anyone reading this: hang in there, be patient and gentle to yourself. You'll get through this.
Hey man, I hope all gets better for you
Interviews terrify me. Phone calls yikes. Good on you. You are doing my worst fear. Keep going =]
I'm retired now, but I had to interview probably several hundred people as a former manager and I also had many interviews after being laid off later in my career. It's important to just be professional, be very prepared and organized, be yourself, relax, be positive, focus on what skills you can offer the company, and use the interview as a learning process. It's like doing sports. You just keep trying no matter what. And don't take a rejection personally. Not getting the job may be the best thing for your life in the long run. You are still a person of value whether you get the job or not.
Wow, thank you so much for taking your time to say this. This is really good advice, I'll definitely keep it in mind!

I’ve never had this before it’s new to me but it’s over taking my life I feel horrible and lonely sad cry a lot my fear and worry is intense plus I’ve stopped going out I’m so fed up 😢 x
I also get cold feeling on my face and palpitations plus shaking head and can’t sleep great at all probably more I have hard to cope with this I did talk to a therapist I’m on a waiting list now x
I don't think I have anxiety but I have been struggling with insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and overthinking for a few months now. Your videos have been helping me so much in learning how to manage these thoughts, avoid an anxiety cycle, and take better care of myself. I haven't resolved these issues completely, but it has gotten a lot better since it started. Since my semester in uni is coming to a close and I'll be starting a new job soon, I know that having these tools will be extremely valuable in the days to come. Just wanted to extend a big thank you for making such organized, clear, and easy-to-follow videos on these topics
I've been suffering from intrusive thoughts for a month, this video has made such an impact to me. I've always suffered from anxiety and unwanted thoughts but this year it has gotten much worse. I'm more than happy that I found this video 🥺🙏
I have only just discovered your channel ....
Im from the UK ...and I cannot begin to tell you how you have helped me ..... I feel you've saved me ... honestly I do ... Ive always taken everything from everybody ... Im basically a 'Door mat' ... Im obsessed with pleasing everybody else but never myself ... coz Ive always thought Im not worthy enough....
Ive struggled for most of my life ... even as a child of a narcissistic Mum .. ( I didnt realise this for years & years ) ... I just thought it was 'me' ...
But now I listen to your advice & slowly each day Im learning to try & fix myself ....
Thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxx
I was raised in a extremely angry and confrontational family. I was always living in fear of what was coming next. It hasn't really gone away even with medication. I apologize to people even when I did nothing wrong. I have a therapist that is great but sometimes I feel like my issues are being dismissed. Our mom was great at making us feel like what we are feeling is not important. If your mom treats you like that it's going to stick with you the rest of your life.
Yep I feel this

Same
Am half jealous of ppl who have supportive,loving and fun families 😅.I wouldnt have generalized anxiety disorder had my family shown some emotional support during the set backs I faced in my life.Just a visit ,a loving ph call would have helped me.I got judgement,criticism, invalidation till I got panic attacks but ofcourse no one understood even then.Now I rely on meds if its really bad and counsellors.I never expect emotional support from friends and family anymore.
@@sadia2395People are terrible, that's why we search for videos like this, we need to be our own supporters and problem-solvers.
I wish she could be my therapist! I love her content, it’s helped me a great deal.
Thank you for this. I really needed a guide on how to deal with things happening all around me and this video literally uploaded just a few minutes ago. I have been avoiding the things I need to do and in the process makes me feel bad for not being responsible. I overthink and blame it on my circumstances as if I am the victim, that in effect makes me feel relieved and justified on doing things that increase my happiness yet not necessarily address the issues.
I feel bad for procrastinating yet I feel no motivation on what to do about it and try to do something else, and my mind is exhausted as with my physical body, it manifests. Thank you for the videos, I honestly needed to hear that there is hope, even for someone like me, that I am not the only one feeling like this and I not suffer it alone or in silence. Again, thank you so much!
Same here.. for years! You are not alone! I too love her videos!!

What finally worked for me was daily 30-60 min mindfulness and compassion meditation.
I'm glad something is working for you ! Emma gives great advice! Self talk is also helpful...
Hi sweetheart I got my broken relationship fixed with the help this great spiritual Dr who brought my partner Back in 48 hours After many years of separation.

@@hope7144 she does! I'm a long time subscriber. She has great practical advice on the cognitive behavioral side. In my case I had to go into a regular meditation practice.
And the key here is the everydayness of it. Do it especially on those good days. Some recommend to do one session in the morning and one in the night. You can search on TH-cam with words mindfulness and depression.
There's research on it that just like good therapy causes actual change in your brain, regular mindfulness meditation with or without added loving kindness meditation also causes slowly, with time, positive physical changes in your brain.
Microdosing LSD and psilocybin mushrooms has been the best experience. Since I started taking them I have noticed clearer thinking and peaceful existence. Taking on anything life throws at me, great stuff.
I’ve heard so much and I really want to try them too. I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels
He’s on insta?
The trips I've been having has helped me a lot, I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have a lot more empathy as well
Sure, he ships discreet and anonymous.
Saw reviews about dr.coxx, checked him out and I must say he is very good at what he does and his products are pure.
I'm really really whole heartedly very thankful to you...you don't know how your videos were helpful to me...during my worst phase of life...and i was stuggling alone...not body was able to understand me....in that time...your videos provide me a lot of help....A big big big thanks to you....'m really grateful to you.....
You are angle for prople like me....
May god bless you....and fullfill your each and every wish.
learning about anxiety really helped me since my strength is learning and going for a walk every day.
The advice about testing for and supplementing nutrient deficiencies is so important! That's had a huge positive impact on my mood and anxiety levels 😊

Try new things good for anxiety. New songs, new movies, buying new things etc. Also read books learn new things for stay away from brain ruminating. When have anxiety or some problems in head out brain is turning/ruminating same things all the time. We should feed our brain and soul with new foods ...
Thanks for video.

My dog forces me to get out and walk every day - even when I don't want to! She is a life saver.
I used to take meds for 7 years, quit 3 years ago which was very hard. Since few months panic attacks have came back and I had already changed my job for a tranquil one, I sleep 9 hours per day, excersise regularly, i quit alcohol, I meditate, do acupuncture and a lot more, not mentioning all therapies I tried including hipnosis, behavioral etc. Nothing helps, i have meetings at work and panic attacks take control over my body, i have tachicardia, nasueas, diarrhea, and a feeling i will die or get crazy. I dont know what to do anymore
One of your best Emma - I will include this in my first session resources handout.

Dear Emma, you have helped me SO much with all your video’s!! I really got to understand more about how anxiety works, that I’m not broken was a really helpful thought and how avoidance makes things worse was an uncomfortable but very useful and stimulating insight.
I walk every day with our lovely dog, I spend much time in nature, gardening etc. But since February, I picked up tapdancing too. And by now, I think I’ve made it to intermediate level, yeehah!! I can do some steps without holding on to a chair for dear life! 😂 But what it also literally does for me, it helps me develop fysical balance, because you NEED that if you want to tapdance and it is the most fun way to do that. Now, some weeks ago I could be scared to walk through my own home without clinging onto something. Since about a week or so, that sensationis completely over. I’m so happy!!!! And yes, I quit caffeine about 4 weeks ago. I still drink coffee, but the decaffeinated one.
I feel like I’ve gotten my life back after so many years of struggle and I am forever grateful for you, helping me to understand myself and giving me the tools to know what to do and what not to do.
I wish I could give you a big hug, but since that is impossible now, please accept my greatfulness. You are very lovable and clear about your messages for this world. ❤️
How wonderful. Thank you for this beautiful session Emma. I found your knowledge and explanations so sensitive and soft and warm. When there is a willingness to connect with others, anxiety can be explored, with awareness in order to reduce it's impact. Patience, showing up and being kind to ourselves when we fall is like retraining the amygdala in the present moment. With awareness, this becomes our super power to being with the anxiety that comes and managing it better. Waving to you with love, Marie-Louise from Cornwall, UK ❤
Your voice is so soothing. Your smile is so big and I can hear it in your voice =]
I've just watched this video of yours ( I'm in the UK) and I realise from listening to you, why I'm getting more anxious. I need to discuss this with my GP to start with ( my past affects me) to know what skills I need to move forward
Monosodium Glutamate gave me anxiety until I realized it was triggering me. I was deficient in lysine and arginine (amino acids).
Exercise and meditation absolutely help, but for me it's my diet that can knock me off 'center'. If I feed my body right, the other tricks like mindfulness and cognitive thinking are needed a LOT less.
Meditation and mindfulness is basically good because it turns of the default-mode-network (the racing mind). New studies say that's also what happens in micro-dose therapy.
It all comes down to the chemistry of your brain-soup.
Great video, so many people avoid getting help for anxiety disorders and just think they have to live with it, but help is available!
I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across dr.sporess, a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
He’s on Insta
Thank you. Love ur simplistic yet informative understanding cause, effect & management. Seems very sensible & a splash of common sense. 🙏
The advice on #1 is giving me anxiety. Getting my docs to take me seriously and actually rule out all of the above that you mentioned is like pulling teeth. So we just skipped over that step evidently.
I feel the same way. I feel anxious just thinking of #1.
@@annie322 OMG me too! Sometimes thinking about anxiety, gives me more anxiety and all the things you need to do feels overwhelming and the cycle begins!
Same here... NONE of my doctors took any bloodwork to check for any kind of deficiencies... just keep giving me antidepressants and anti anxiety medicine. Emma's advice is helpful and she has a calming voice

Lost my mom to lung cancer. Now I'm petrified I'll get/have it too. Nursing is my background so I feel I already know too much about the symptoms. Im so anxious, I refused a chest xray offered by my doctor. My anxiety is off the charts. I know this is all on me, but I'm scared stiff. My coping mechanisms aren't working for me anymore.
Thank you so much for making this video and your great lessons....🙏
Could you please make a video bout Separation Anxiety in adults ( especially from parents) ? Thank you!
Be not simply good - be good for something.
I've been house bound(mostly bed bound) for more than 3 years all because of daily dizziness and occasional panic attacks. I was diagnosed of anxiety disorder and tried all sorts of antidepressants yet
all ended up failing but only relying benzo(lorazepam).
I watched most of your videos and they are all very inspiring and encouraging, yet because of daily dizziness, I could not pursue any physical exercise which I used to enjoy. Life has been so miserable and I don't see any future at all!
When feeling dizzy try sitting and put your head between your legs to get blood flow to your brain. Also, have you seen a doctor about that? I pray that you get the right treatment plan. God bless
@@morganicole Many thanks for your advice.
I consulted psychiatrists(public/govt, and private) all ended up fruitless. So I seek Buddhist theory now accept life as it comes!
@@outsider3390 any update? Are you still on meds?
Does anyone have any tips for the nausea that comes along with anxiety and how to get rid of it?
I think anxiety is the most common disease nowadays especially with social media
I love your channel. Straight to the topic and evidence-based. To me what is slowly changing my anxiety is being humble, to forgive and ask forgiveness, give and thank others when given something, and most of all accepting the work I need to do. It's a journey you'll learn to like, so don't give up.
this is really beautiful video
I enjoyed your video Emma and you provide clear and evidence-based information on the net which is very important! I am a clinical psychologist in Australia and always been interested in what is being provided online for people. I like your delivery of information
You are such a joy to watch!!! Thank you for giving us anxiety sufferers a outlook on ways to help us 🤗It’s really has helped me. Keep up the great work because I will be watching.
Ms Emma, you do not know how I appreciate your utub presentations! I have stressors that will not go away due to life circumstances. I have accepted them, and through your program (like this very program you just showed), I learn how to deal better with that which I cannot change. No psychologist in my area accepts Medicare. So you have become my teacher and guide via your programs on utub.
I am so thankful!
Your programs are wonderful
Regarding the first point... "See a doc' to rule out physical medical conditions."
It's worth a mention that in Harvard Medical School (among others) they needed a way to initiate anxiety for psychological studies... AND they found that decreasing the general oxygen in the atmosphere of a room just a LITTLE bit, could do exactly that... on cue... consistently.
It's also worth note that for about $10 (US) an Oxymeter (or combo' oxygen pulse meter) can be had, so you can CHECK anytime... If you feel anxious, just clip the thing on your finger and see what your blood O2 saturation is... If it's well below 98% or so, there might be an issue... and your heart rate is monitored in real time... SO you can even take notes about the "physical symptoms" of your anxiety episodes... Whether or not it's medically (physically) relevant or helpful, it can be helpful for your therapist to gauge just how severe your condition is...
Hyperventilating and rapid heart rate can also contribute to inefficiencies at getting oxygen to the blood... so there is that... BUT there's also the case that it CAN demonstrate to the MD's that you have a real physical symptomology, and they may not be able to replicate it in the office... even to figure it out.
Sometimes, doc's are dismissive, or at least SEEM dismissive, because they don't have all the information to study. It's harder to diagnose and treat "by long distance", so if you only deal with anxiety episodes at home in the quiet (regardless of why) they can't just psychically figure it out... AND there may be questions like "What were you doing just before this episode came on?" or "Did you eat/drink anything when this happened?"... It might only be helpful to a psych' professional, but I'd just rather have more than enough information than not nearly enough information...
Anyways... It just seems like it might be worth checking out. ;o)

Therapists, doctors, nurses, etc. All such amazing people. A doctor saved my life with emergency surgery a few years ago and a therapist drastically helped me along the road of improving my mental health. Grateful for people like this!
Thank you for all you do.
Do you have a video or blog that defines a mentally healthy person?
Just listened and you are so informative, thank you so much!
Hello 👋
How are you doing Connie
Emma is the best 🥰
The world is so stressful now. It’s hard not to be anxious 😥
Thanks you! Good words of wisdom
That is true... I find it helpful to not watch the news and keep write down each day something positive or something you are grateful for... that keeps you focusing on positive things!

Hi Hope, I used to do a gratitude journal. I need to get back. It was incredibly helpful
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@Lillian Victoria I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across *dr.jeromespores* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
@Lillian Victoria Use the name dr.jeromespores to check him out on. 👇🏻

@@dilara4130 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
Yes. This. Coming from a doctor: hyperthyroidism can manifest as palpitations and agitation. On the other hand anemia can disguise as depression. So yes please first get checked and then when you're sure you're physically healthy, you can go on and concentrate on your mental health
What do you ask your doctor to do? "Check my levels"? Thank you if you see this
@@jenmarie2030 you’ll ask your doctor to draw your blood to check for anemia, your thyroid levels and then you’ll be good to go.
@@jenmarie2030 @Jen Marie oh so sorry I didn't check for your reply earlier. So what you do is if you have made an appointment with a psychiatrist and you're a woman you can ask what you can do to check for those probable causes. And the reason I said "if you're a woman" is because women tend to have anemia sometimes just constitutionally, meaning that's how their body works. For example they might be having a heavy flow period but they don't recognize it as heavy because that^s how it's been from the first years their period got regulated. So that's normal for them. And also most women's period is similar to their mother's. Meaning their mother also has too much blood on their periods and it also lasts for 7 days. Which mis normal but again if they don't take in enough red meat or quality vegan food that provides them with enough iron then they might be slightly anemic but they don't know it before it causes them extreme fatigue and mental fuzzıness or fog.
Then the other thing about women is that they might be having a thyroid problem. And this again has to do with hereditary factors. Women do get their thyroid problems from their moms. This is not to say that the mother is the one to always passes on those conditions to their daughters but women who have a mother or a grandmother or an aunt from their mother's side that has dealt with thyroidal issues are more likely to have not the same but some kind of thyroidal issue in the future. So they need to know that these conditions might manifest for themselves too. But I only recommend to check about thyroıdal blood tests if they know about some elderly woman in their family that has been diagnosed and I don't recommend any type of imaging because if you look for it in imaging tests you are most likely to find a nodule or something that might be there as many people have but it's most likely that it won't manifest at that moment as a disease. Those echo patterns they don't serve you if your blood tests to be normal. So for the thyroid you don't need to do much but if you feel a lump in your throat when you touch the frontal area of your neck or you're not too thin but your Adam's apple is too obvious when you look from afar then you should go to an internalist and just say that you observed this and they will know what to do (just to claify: women don't have what is called Adam's apple. But I chose this terminology as that area is more likely to be understood by people who aren't familiar with anatomical terminology) If it's too obvious they will have it checked anyway because as doctors we are alert about the things we see on your bodies.
So to summarize all, you should have your iron levels tested and you can ask for it from an internalist but for the thyroid functions you don't really need to do much because only if you have certain symptoms they're going to treat it. And believe me those symptoms really show themselves as extreme anger and axiety and agility and extreme sweating all together at once or if you have hypothyroidism you'll constantly feel and look very tired and sleepy and have very dry skin and hair again all at once. So you'll really will be able to tell you aren't well.
I hope this has been a bit explanatory :)
And for the men I'd say typically men don't get anemia if they're young and healthy. So they don't really have to worry about it. They typically have anemia if they have a chronic disease which if it's manifested is going to be dealt anyway because blood parameters test chart is the first thing a doctor always order.
And thyroid issues aren't that prevelant with men either.
So only if they have really obvious symptoms doctors are going to investigate them by ordering hormone level tests and if it's needed imaging.
I love your vibe Emma! Really inspiring ❤️

I have horrible sleep hygiene. 13 years of dealing with ptsd and panic disorder I can't sleep without the tv on low in the background. If its pitch dark and completely silent, I panic. No clue why it happens. Maybe my brain feels like if theres nothing to focus on it decides its time to start thinking about everything but sleep lol
I was finally doing so well with good nutrition, exercise, therapy and meds. Then I got that virus and woke up one morning back at square 1. It's so discouraging!
I'm taking boxing classes that helped my horrible anxiety it helped me get out of my head
Is something wrong if mindfulness or gratitude doesn’t work for me? It’s hard to feel grateful or mindful in the heat of the moment
For me... I endure my anxiety by telling myself "this might not be ideal, BUT I'm thankful it's not worse" like I'm thankful I don't have cancer, I'm thankful I can walk, etc.... just some ideas
Absolutely enjoy all your videos and look forward so much for new ones to appear each day.
Great video Emma. I love your breakdown of anxiety. Understanding what it is and how it works is a huge step in curbing your anxiety/stress patterns. -Austin

Going through withdrawal from tapering from antidepressants, it's been rough
This is kind of a off topic question but I have a severe anxiety disorder and have most of my life. I’ve been to a lot of doctors and I’ve never been prescribed any actual anti anxiety medication. Is that normal? I have no history of drug use and I’ve been prescribed every SSRI imaginable and a few other ones and I’ve only gotten relief for a short time. I have frequent panic attacks and have since I was a child. I find it odd I’ve never been prescribed anything for panic attacks and I keep getting put on new medications with crazy side effects and nothing to help the panic. Ive tried to tell doctors I am not depressed and depression medication makes me feel crazy but they don’t listen
Thank you so much for this😄 I adore your work❤️
Has anyone ever told you your voice is calming?! :)
Avoidance feeds anxiety. YEP ! Cut back on caffeine. YEP ! Mindfulness (depending on what mindfulness means to you). YEP ! Number 1 thing that helped me tho, diet. Eliminated sugar and processed "food" and "vegetable" oil, the positive affect on my state of mind in priceless. Don't really know how or why, I'm sure there is a medical or biological answer to that.
I believe that my anxiety stems from the fact that I have a hiatal hernia. I think is physical, because the physical symptoms it produces causes me to get anxious.

Hi Emma, I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos 😊 I actually have a request for a topic. (If you already have a video for this please let me know…I looked but didn’t see one.) My question/request: What happens to your body during fight-or-flight, and how can you calm yourself down to better handle the situation. For example, let’s say you’re caught in an active shooter situation; in order to survive you need to keep your wits to make smart decision and avoid danger. I’m terrified of this exact situation, have been avoiding all public places & have severe anxiety over this fear. Any advice/help on what to do in this situation would be extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. Take care! 😁 -Chase
Thank you again for another great video from beginning to end.All of your videos are so helpful and are much appreciated! You are so good at what you do!!! Thanks again!
I find your teachings more reliable than what my doctor said coz I dont understand why he prescribed antidepressants right away before even having my blood and heart check.And also I ask if I can do Psychotherapy instead but he insisted on meds.Made me more anxious.
The doctor should have did an EKG on you first, then drew your blood to check your thyroid, enzymes in your heart and see if you’re anemic or not.
@@morganicole exactly right?thats why i find these kind of videos more helpful to me than my doctor’s approach that makes me doubtful.Also familiarize myself on how and what the process should be.
What is the difference between anxiety and emotional flashbacks?
Interesting and helpful
thank you for the very helpful videos .

Humility is a great anxiety deflater
Hi. Just a little feedback. Your videos are much more compelling and engaging when u stop looking away from the camera so much. I hope u dont mind my saying. Othereise great content. Thank you
Can this apply to antidepressants withdrawal? I started to taper my medicine a month ago and the anxiety symptoms are bothering me
Without being sexist, you are just a babe! You speak as if you are in the same room as me, personal, funny, instructive and as if you were friend, keep up the wonderful work you are doing. I cannot isolate why it is that I always feel anxious, I'm single, had relationships that I ended, most likely to do with my ball of anxiety. Thanks for everythingtou share.!!!!
This is social anxiety 😢,I was once like this but I was able to come out of it by the help of a friend of mine
My anxiety has been so bad lately, I have bad hyperchondria and struggling to cope, not sleeping of eating properly... when I was first told I had it I used to cope but seems to be worse lately. Worrying about how it's affecting everyone around me.
Love this video.. ♥️💖🇨🇦
I absolutely love your videos. So helpful and makes me feel hopeful ♥️
Awesome video nailing different points to improve one's relationship to anxiety!
Please please for god sakes. Give us one solution to erase anxiety definitely
Problem name: Anxiety
If we consider this problem as a "neural vulnerability", I have some suggestions for you.
Continuing with the suggestions from the book:
1st suggestion:
Thyme is boiled and a glass is drunk.
2st suggestion:
Mustard is boiled and a glass is drunk.
3st suggestion:
"Lavandula stoechas" is boiled and a glass is drunk.
4st suggestion:
With laurel oil, the muscles are massaged.
5st suggestion:
3 grams of "Ruta graveolens" is swallowed daily.
6st suggestion:
Eat cabbage or drink a glass of cabbage juice.
7st suggestion:
Garlic should be eaten.
8st suggestion:
Anise and Eagle wood (Aquilaria agollocha, Agalloch, Bois d'aigle, Calambac) are boiled and a glass is drunk.
9st suggestion:
It is cooked and eaten with dehulled wheat chicken meat.
10st suggestion:
Sesame oil is drunk in the morning and massaged on the numb areas of the body with sesame oil.
11st suggestion:
Chicken broth soup is drunk and almonds are eaten on it.
The recommendation of a doctor who says he is an expert in herbal treatment is as follows:
A tablespoonful of lavender and half a tablespoonful of dried roses.
Put these herbs in a teapot and pour freshly boiled hot water over it and cover it.
After half an hour your tea is ready.
Cool your tea and drink it with honey.
This recommendation is recommended for chronic stress and fear.
Another bit of information from the book:
To get rid of fear, shyness and disturbing thoughts, 5 grams of powdered cloves are drunk with a glass of milk.
Great info, thank you! :)
