Had extreme ptsd after a family members suicide. Running saved my life. Edit: I had tried everything else, but it seemed to be the only thing that lowered my stress enough to where I could cope. I hope anyone else reading this understands you’ll get through hard times.
I excuse myself to the bathroom where I can calm down. I feel it the only way. To calm mine. Maybe I should just keep doing that until. I can fix it. Cause it's so extreme my body starts moving like my hands start shaking. 😢❤ I also which I feel ashamed but it works I use my looks to make ppl like me so I feel comfortable and confident but it's so extreme that I stay inside my house. I have agoraphobia. I just scared of ppl sometimes❤ it's hard.😢 Ever since my mom passed away I feel I don't know who I am and how to be in this world. I am lost without her cause I was dependent on her. But she was always there and now just taking one day at a time. Trying to be strong.
Well to be fair running and going to the gym helps, but at the end of the day that is also a way to bypass the core issue. When you get anxiety, it's your body's way of saying something is wrong, which means you have to pay attention to the cause. The mind is really strange, so maybe you will get anxiety just to have an excuse to run? Maybe running helps you in the moment to break free of your environment, so maybe that's a clue as to what is causing it. Edit: And obviously it can also be that you are not over the ptsd, there is a great method to deal with stressful thoughts and you can find it all over TH-cam. It's called the work by Byron Katie, there are a few videos that talk about death and the way we think we should view it. It's hard to understand and you might brush it off as insane, but it's really the truth if you have an open mind.
Yes, honestly, I have the will power to ignore every other symptom except for the shortness of breath. I noticed that whenever I experience palpitations, the intensity of my shortness of breath also increases. And when the intensity of my shortness of breath increases, I start to feel anxious and panicky. My cardiologist told me that my symptoms are caused by the MVP(Mitral Valve Prolapse) and Mitral and Tricupidal regurgitation. At the same time, he also mentions that I suffer from anxiety disorder. He doesn't seem remotely concerned about my heart diagnosis. He didn't give me any meds for MVP/MVR. He just told me to do a yearly heart echocardiogram. Nothing more, nothing less. What's interesting about my cardiologist is that he links MVP symptoms with anxiety disorder symptoms. He told me that no one will tell you this link between anxiety disorder symptoms and MVP. According to him, anxiety disorder symptoms are just a byproduct of the issue with MVP. In other words, the root problem is actually MVP, according to him. Who knows at this point what actually is causing my shortness of breath? My previous primary care doctor thinks it's post cov!d syndrome and the new primary care doctor thinks this is caused by anxiety disorder.
Yes,I too am scared shit when my heart palpitates and pounds and have shortness of breath due to anxiety attacks due to certain triggers .yes I also had shortness of breath after my COVID episode , but that was for a couple of months....
I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and 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
@ohmakure4716 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.
It’s unbelievably helpful to see people (especially men) talking so openly about crippling anxiety. I really admire and respect the honesty in this video. Thanks for helping us feel a little less weird!
I was trying to find this "only cure" as stated as the title. Watched for 5 minutes and still nothing. No such cure was mentioned. How is this bullshit helpful? It's just misleading.
I have social anxiety in all platforms of life: social, romantic, work, casual just to name a few.. it has crippled me in many ways. The fear of rejection or failure has caused me to turn down promotions, avoid social event that I presume would be embarrassing for me, stop academic progress.. Due to fear of perceived rejection, I prefer social isolation, but silently I 💯 wish for connections n from this depression comes from. At this point I’m defeated, sleep/eat/work the end, no new adventures for me. I’m at that point>> why should I have to put in 200% in everything I do majority of this effort is wasted energy to overcome or mask this neurotic disease. I have been on ssri, bzd, bb, none has given me clinically acceptable results.. At this point I want the cheat sheet, the restart button. I am also in that space where I am not suicidal, but if I am to die now take me in my sleep where it is peaceful
How are you now? I hope you are doing better. I am no expert, but here are two things that work for me: 1- Running (any exercise): I used to be a shitty runner, and I would give up after running for just a few minutes. However, as I started to run daily, I pushed myself and fought through the pain. I realized that my mind gave up faster than my body. If I pushed myself a little longer and fought the pain I could run a lot further. Remember to breathe properly and keep good posture. You can always look up some how to videos. So when you are running and pushing yourself you are essentially fighting off stress and pain, and anxiety is painful and stressful right ? It is pretty much the same imo. So you are not getting overwhelmed by a huge amount of pain and stress but you are making yourself stronger by dealing with a controlled amount of it. So this made me better at fighting off stress and my social anxiety started to feel less intense. If you're too anxious to run outside, you can find some follow-along exercise videos on TH-cam. Personally, when it rains or I can't run for some reason, I usually follow short ab exercise videos from a channel named Athlean X. Any kind of exercise where you push yourself makes you mentally tougher. It's a much better alternative to medication. Get a yoga mat for working out indoors. 2 - Reading books out loud: Reading out loud has helped me because, being socially anxious, I have always felt that my voice sounded weird. It might have been all in my head or because I lacked confidence while speaking, but it bothered me. Speaking anymore that a few seconds weirded me out. Reading out loud has made me comfortable with listening to and getting used to my own voice. As a result, speaking has become easier for me. Recently, I've been reading a book called 'Can't Hurt Me' by David Goggins. I got it a few weeks ago, and David Goggins himself is truly an inspiration, he too . I recommend looking him up on TH-cam. He too deeply emphasizes on the importance of physical exercise to toughen yourself mentally. The problem I faced while doing the above was 1 - getting on with it. You have to start. You have to find a way to start. Find someone to help you start working out consistently. If you don't have anyone to help you have to find it in you to begin. Or join a gym if possible 2 - inconsistency, especially in running or working out. If you miss a few days, try to get back into it and don't be too hard on yourself. If possible, consider joining a gym if possible or setting aside specific time for working out. It always feels hard in the beginning but as you do it and build some momentum you will find it easy. Remember not to consume alcohol or weed, and always believe that you can get better. I hope you experience life better and find a lot of happiness."
@@FLYDIEHARDweed can also eventually make it 10x worse. I smoked for a long time and don’t recommend it to anyone that deals with anxiety. I know every individual is different but for a lot of people with crippling social anxiety it can end up doing more harm than good.
My anxiety can be so damaging to where I cannot function daily. And it all started with meditation abuse. I wish now these days I could find peace from the anxiety.
I have had crippling anxiety since very early age. I'm middle aged now and it came back a few months ago. I know I'm not satisfied with my life, but a recent trip to a friend living in the country side confirmed it. The anxiety was gone during that whole week, and came back with full force when I woke up in my own bed again. Your video described the process and the why so well.
- tackle the physiology (exercise for instance) -ask what is it trying to tell me? (what do I need to change in my life). Similarly see it as a useful tool that's letting you know you need to take a deeper look at some aspect of your life - experiment with a reframing of your experiences (as a therapist would have you do) - sit with it (acceptance)
I think telling everyone one treatment fits all is the solution, I have been struggling with anixety/panic attacks most 10 years with a hole in my mouth from biting from stress, I was able manage it with exercise, cold showers, Isolation tank, Brazilian jiu jitsu, last 3 years those tactics failed on me, I eventually burned myself out, and been trying to do all the types of natural methods for 3 years to get back nothing is touching my agoraphobia, and I have come to conclusion medication is what I need (buspirone atm, I don't like ssri/snri personal reason) I need some crush so I can change my living standards and then change my life.
I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for decades (CPTSD). So much so that my body is physically ill. I have chronic hives and I need to sleep just to make it through the day because the anxiety in my body exhausts me. I see a counselor regularly and have attended support groups and many many classes. Nothing has helped. I don’t think accepting it or seeing it as an alarm helps. There is nothing wrong in my life. There is nothing to be alarmed about. It is simply just the effects of childhood trauma.
That sounds really challenging. For anxiety, sometimes it can help to allow yourself to have those feelings. And let them run their course. It might seem counterintuitive but, allowing it can help process the anxiety. Sometimes very quickly. Hopefully even getting you back to a more content mental/emotional state. But good luck out there, for what it's worth
My crippling anxiety manifests in my body,chronic pain, muscles stiffness, joints stiffness, burning skin, shaking, trembling, throat tightening, strong sense of smell, the list goes on. I can't sit with it, its torture, i run the hospital, night after night, it's 24/7 not just now and again.
This video is so needed out there. My hill run is decluttering & cleaning & reorganizing. Sometimes it can be a lot... we can't constantly run up hills. I have noticed a shift recently where I'm more able to in the moment or close thereafter, assess the string of anxiety, & then more directly address it. It feels monumental inwardly, & now seeing subtleties outwardly. This video/discussion helped me to relax my shoulders some & feel how far I have come. Thank you.
To the man who exercises to remove anxiety. This is correct because you actually remove adrenaline which means your adrenal glands are releasing to much due to anxiety. Also I heard someone talking real fast which was the guy in the middle.This anxiety is in you mind of course but it’s also in your lungs and breathing. It was easy to see from listening to this. I believe you get control of how you talk and breathe you will calm down. I also had this issue. When we speak to a person we have 5 or more thoughts come to mind and we want to interrupt so we don’t forget and what you need to do is get to the point you just listen and not speak even though you may forget.The place you want to get to is to not have these feelings like you need to speak and give information to the conversation. This takes training and practice and it works however nothing will help more than short meditation. I would start with 5 min sessions as often as possible. Remember that meditation is not a clearing of the mind like people think. You will still have many thoughts come to mind when you first start. Make sure to breathe from your stomach and fill it with air and don’t breathe from your chest. I have had chronic anxiety for 40 years. I have beat it every time. It is horrible and crippling but I can beat it. I have it now because I get healthy and then don’t think about it and go back to my old ways. I will also say an extremely healthy diet will also make the mind and body work exactly as it should but go extreme. You will no longer enjoy food but the other 23 hours of the day your not eating you will have a very high quality of life by being calm and full of quality energy. I hope this helps anyone listening out there
@@dd-pm9cg I thought I covered that but I see I just mentioned diet. Because I went to a health and wellness center and spent $4000 I wanted to do it right so I had to go extreme but anxiety was gone. I ate lean means but only once a day. I ate vegetables all day everyday however I carried broccoli with me and ate it raw every 3 hours and only a few of the little spears. At lunch I ate a salad loaded down and added egg and chicken as well. It was actually Wendy’s apple pecan though not the best salad I know but I like it and it worked. I carried my own olive oil for the salad. I ate many types of nuts throughout the day. I had usually one or two apples a day but being a tall man 2 was better. As far as diet goes a raw diet is best just clean the veggies. Eating was not fun but I was so healthy I got used to it as well as shopping for it. It was routine for years. I did not eat Oatmeal back then but I would add that as well now. I would limit your read meat intake to once a week unless you sweat a lot then maybe 2-3 times a week. Stick with cold water fish even if you don’t like it. You would have to read the previous message because your sleep pattern is very important as well as light exercise. Reduce or stay away from conflict or things that may seriously upset you if possible. Hang around people that believe and want to see you reach your goal. If you have bad anxiety get to a psychiatrist and stay on a mild med for now. It will actually improve your health staying calm. Good luck and get ready for the reward of your life
Anxiety is disordered fear. The cause is an inherited predisposition to having creative intellect and resourcefulness. Intelligent people are the ones who suffer. The Linden Method is the only approach that has ever resonated with me.
It's a bit hard to go for a run up a hill, or go jog around the block, or go meditate, or any other activity, IF the anxiety attack is happening whilst in the middle of doing the grocery shopping, or you're in the middle of a work meeting, or you're a receptionist who wears high heels!!!!
I totally understand the feeling of feeling like you’re not good enough unless you’re on drugs or drunk because the anxiety is diminished and other people feel comfortable around you too. It messes you up and just digs you deeper into that hole of I’m not good enough!!! Time to no longer treat the surface issues and dig deep!!!❤
Well, the word for me is meditation. I'm just saying that when anxiety hits I try to remember who I am, a strange, beautiful, magical and rare existential being in a mysterious and incredible universe that I can barely understand but it's enough to realize that I'm not all that makes me feel anxious ... thank you Minimalists who were and are on my way. Hugs 🤗
I was contemplating maybe I should stop going to therapy but Ryan's point about those 4 lightbulb moments makes so much sense. I will keep on working towards my lightbulb moment!
I wake up in the middle of the night with crippling panic attacks almost every night and dont even remember the last time I slept through the night and woke up feeling rested. Don't even know where this is coming from. ..
I pray that God grant you peace and rest as well as strategy to defeat this battle. Whatsoever things are lovely, pure, of good report, think on these things. Find something to be grateful for daily and serve someone who needs help in someway. Example,Read to an older person whose eyes have gotten dim, help at a food pantry so much more, but don't give up, your help comes from God and those he place on your journey to help you. My prayers are with you.
First of all I'm 71, work out, walk everywhere, good blood pressure etc. My ENT prescribed Venlafaxine 37.5 mg for my Vestibular Migraine that came out of nowhere. He said take it for 2 weeks. I took one at 10am and by Noon my Vertigo was 80% gone. I thought cool.. 2am the next morning I woke up with a blinding headache, and I don't get headaches. But I did read on Web MD you might want to watch your Blood Pressure if you take this. So I decided to take my Blood pressure. 196/121. Yeah off to the Emergency room I went. I realize different medications can work differently in different people.. Just a Heads up.
Fascinating because according to many studies ppl who are anxious outlive ppl who are not anxious. That is a well regulated and healthy dose of anxiety. Indeed it is a heads up system to allow us to prepare.
I'm glad I clicked on this video! It resonates with me more than all the other videos out in the TH-cam ocean. In recent years I've suspected my anxiety is a symptom of personal problems in my life that are not being fulfilled or acknowledged.
When I have a job that I absolutely love withing 6 mos. I get really crippling anxiety. Almost like a panic attack. And I can't go in. I'm on S.S.I. now for that and depression but I want to be able to keep a job. This is the reason I've been homeless 2023 makes it 20 years that I've been homeless now. I'm sick of it and need to learn to keep a job to get out of this situation.
I’ve unknowingly had moderate to severe anxiety my whole life. I didn’t realize I had anxiety attacks for years, because it has masks of anger, sadness, paranoia, which lead to me being violent, hateful, suicidal, and a drunk. I’ve rebuilt my entire life and it has slowly but surely been dwindling away. But it’s still definitely present, it’s just much easier to cope with. Today I had a very simple thing trigger my anxiety that lead to an anxiety attack which lead me to be furious, to my balling my eyes out and begging it to stop because I felt so defeated and terrorized. It took me several hours to snap out of it then I crashed kinda hard and then I knew it was done. I just know I’m blessed now to be where I am. I haven’t had an episode like that in a while and I wish it would just stop. But I think I’m gonna pray and get some solid sleep tonight and hit the gym hard tomorrow and get ahold of my damn therapist.
This year I’ve started to have absolutely crippling anxiety and IBS. Whenever my GI issues start acting up it activates the anxiety. The GI issues got to be so bad that I am scared to leave the house or see anyone because I could start panicking away from my safe place. I get shortness of breath, overheated, shakiness, muscle weakness, nauseous, etc. It got to be so bad that I would be crying my eyes out just trying to get the courage to get groceries. It never goes away. I’ve had some days that are better than others but in the last month it is at a 10 everyday. I just want a breath from it. Even for a day. I don’t even want the GI issues to go away at this point. I just want to not panic every time I feel slightly uncomfortable. I’ve tried medications, therapy, meditation, prayer, even vagus nerve stimulation. They all help for a moment. But I desperately need a long term solution. A way to deal with it better.
Sending a lot of love out to all dealing with life's alarming and lightbulb moments. Often triggered by them, I try to breathe them off or find testimonies like these ones. They are part of life and there seem to be different ways of dealing with them. That can only be inspiring and reassuring for all of us, starting aNew everyday
Does anyone else suffer insomnia because of their anxiety? Waking at 3 am with stomach in knots and dread? Feeling desperately low and anxious and mind ruminating ? It’s very scary
You are not alone brother, I have been telling the knot in my stomach in the middle of the night thank you but I am good, no need for alarm, I feel better almost instantly, the gentleman in this video have the best advice I have found
That paying your debts off, etc is so, so true. Anxiety is the feeling of not being in control, if you owe people anything, there is a little bit of you who is not in control.
looking back this makes a lot of sense for me.First time i had a panic attack at 13yo i was moved from a school that i grew up , to another that i didnt know nobody plus i was forced to some class on a church that i didnt gave a rat ass about The current wave of anxiety for started when i was closing my dream business my personal training studio , bad relationship that i wasnt being valued , and the uncertainty that i would keep my clients when i close my business,a perfect storm
Wow! Firstly, I really liked how we can visualise anxiety as an alarm system - what is it telling us? And secondly, to accept and make peace with anxiety instead of fighting it. I suddenly started experiencing crippling anxiety last week and have been fighting it. Perhaps I should identify the triggers that set off my alarm. I’m so afraid of anxiety and the unpleasant sensations it creates; worrying people will be able to tell I’m struggling and I’ll make an idiot of myself. When in reality, I’m a little burnt out and anxiety is telling me I need to switch off and reset. Instead of fearing anxiety, I shall thank it. Thank you for helping me change my mindset to a more positive one.
I really needed to hear this. So many nuggets. “What is my body trying to protect me from?” “When my actions align with my values, I feel less anxiety”. Maybe I’m afraid of a therapist because I feel like it’s not going to do anything. I’m afraid of having to discover and accept that I can’t fix my anxiety. But sitting in this anxiety isn’t helping a damn thing. Thank you for this video. Great practical tips.
Some anxiety is good, crippling anxiety is not good. Anxiety is a reaction generated by your subconscious in response to a pattern in the real world matching what is in your subconscious. The subconscious tries to keep you safe, so it creates this reaction to protect you. (Example - Social Anxiety - Fear of woman because your mother emotionally abused you and you have a program that is running in your subconscious that says women are dangerous, might judge you, might reject you). This subconscious program is a belief/narrative about a series of similar events tied to an emotion (good or bad). You need to use NeuroPlasticity to reprogram that program. The software of your brain was written during your formative years and does not change until you use some effort to reprogram your subconscious. This is what I do. I help you reprogram your brain.
Trying to sleep at 03:34 am with worst possible scenarios about tomorrow. And do you know what is the best thing ? Tomorrow i have nothing special to do. Just an ordinary day.
I know you posted this a year ago. and I hope you have overcome this, but what works for me is sound baths, or you can get videos of different frequency sounds, especially for anxiety. 👍
@@Mark16D thank you for your good wishes brother. I saw your notification while searching something to watch in my bed peacefully. I guess that was just a phase through my mental and psychical development. I can easily say i have full control on my anxiety and using it to be better everyday. Dont know how it happened but i workout 5 days a week. Have someone i love. Have my own job which i hate to do. But i feel good, i look good. Trying to be better and stronger everyday. Not care about anything except my “effective area”, staying away from news and trying to make everyone i can “touch” day better(if they deserve ofc). I cant even remember when i wrote this and thank you again for showing me how far i go.
This is the most resonating video I’ve ever watched but I wish I could call or go to a doctor. I feel like I would be so embarrassed just shaking or having a panic attack for no reason.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14: 1-4
Before the pandemic I never thought that anxiety could affect you that intensely. I used to only have small amounts of anxiety and honestly I wish I could have those small amounts of anxiety instead of having health anxiety Because this health anxiety shit is another beast like GODDAMN BRO!!! It's the worse and it legitimately made me feel like I was losing control. I've had days when I've been terrified out of my mind. I didn't know how to deal with it at all I've had way too many symptoms to even count on one hand lol Head pressures, chest pain, muscle cramps, tensed body, body shakes, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, heart palpitations, numbness, vertigo, depersonalisation, feeling like nothing around me is real, State of panic and fear, impending doom, neck pain, shortness of breath etc... All that happened a week after having my first ever panic attack. I had a caffeine withdrawal and then all those symptoms just started occurring out of nowhere. I've had some really bad insomnia at the time as well, had a lot of days where I couldn't fall asleep at all. I was trying to couldn't sleep one bit. So I was just awake, bloodshot eyes on the internet trying to look for a solution to my problem. I remember obsessively watching podcasts about anxiety and I would just do that everyday. Having anxiety for the first time and not knowing who to talk to was most definitely a challenge for me and I've never been through that before in my life so this is quite new for me I've only had social anxiety but that was nothing compared to having health anxiety non-stop. I'm scared of everything now. I hate feeling this way. I just want my normal self back🥲
You are not alone . We can address this. I wish we could take it away instantly, but maybe knowing we are safe and try to self talk to our thoughts can help and we talk to God for refuge 🫂🫂 thank you for sharing
Similar here. I have been having palpitations normally whenever i am stressed or overthinking. Last week i am having non stop panic attacks. I am trying meditation and mindful thoughts now
I have suffered from Anxiety for 2 years. My healing started when i gave my life to Jesus Christ. Just as written in Matthew 11:28 - Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Now I am free because of Jesus.
I LOVE LOVE My Anxiety It is a chemical reaction ALARM but the benefits I get from it are AWESOME!!! I get acute sensory to help with my highspeed forklift job, I get a wider visual, I get fight or flight energy for like 11-hour shift, BUT when you start to LOVE your anxiety and use it's wonders...it tends to go away DANG IT!!!! I had to make peace with anxiety on my own because DR's tried to kill my kids using me by putting me on antipsychotics by falsely diagnosing me, then my husband and I decided the I was too dangerous to medicate when it wasn't even me It was meds, now I am a happy bouncy spaz and all of my kids have me as an example of triumph enjoying my anxiety I call it one of my favorite superpowers
I just dont know what to do anymore. Meds aren't working and my anxiety is only getting worse. It used to be a struggle once every month, then every week, then every day. Now it's every hour. I can't keep going on like this, it's untenable.
Your comment sounds very relatable. If interested, allowing or embracing the physical sensations of anxiety as they arise, to fully run their course. It might help to process those reactions. Sometimes pretty quickly. And you might be able to use the energy of the stress in a positive way. Lemons to lemonade, existentially, if you will
The thought of myself running up a hill is debilitating when I can hardly focus to even check the mail or walk out in my own yard without feeling dizzy, scared, and sick.
I feel your pain... I have so much regret and guilt at my lack of production due to my anxiety... it makes me anxious... I try to "catch up" to where I feel I should be but this causes me to have 100 things going at once which causes me anxiety ... people tell me I'm doing good but I'm a ball of tension and stress... I stopped benzos 8 years ago and at this point wish I was still on them... at least I was a productive human even though I was in a dull state
I get some relief from anxiety while I'm walking but it's a;lways right there. As soon as I stop, it catches up with me. I wake up to anxiety, and I go to sleep with anxiety. I'm just trying to hang on until I can see a professional, in one month. I took clexea for 25 yrs and came off of it. Very slowly at first but not so slow with the smaller dosage. I think I'm might be expericneing redrawal that is aggravated by real life problems.
So it's been over a month since I posted this. I went to a mental health place. I gave a guy my life history. He listened pretty well. Then a psychiatris came in. I told him I didn't want to take meds. He told me that the talk therapy folks would be in touch. As of today they haven't offered a talk therapist. They don't have one that isn't booked. So, I"m looking on line in my area for other therapist.
I do, too. While I understand how it can help to accept how it feels, some people need more. And I workout on a regular basis, but if I'm to a certain point of anxiety, especially panic, then forcing myself to do something more intense worsens it. I slow down, do something more somatic, and drink water. Some people also need medication. There's so much that goes into anxiety, along with other mental health issues. If this video helps some people, great! But if not, there are so many other things that can. ❤
I enjoy some discomfort like hard hikes, cold weather. I’ll get panic attacks when I’m with my best friends for no reason at all. The only things that I know for sure cause me bad anxiety is being in a situation where I can’t leave or there is no restroom. When I get anxious I have to poop and I get nauseous. If there’s no bathroom it makes me panic. I don’t like being in boats or situations like that where I can’t just leave. If I drink a lot I can handle it but I think I feel worse when I sober up.
Sometimes crippling anxiety can stem from sin. That's why repentance is important to because we can move through our shadows instead of hiding in them. Hiding in our sin causes anxiety. If we live righteously (not self-righteous) then we can walk and speak in confidence. Amen, blessings
Not sure if this will help anyone or not. And I am not a doctor. I have never even tried therapy - maybe that would have helped sooner. Anyway, coming back to the story here. Back in October 2020, when the world was shut down thanks to COVID-19, for some reason one day I suddenly got a fear that something horrible would happen to me. There was no getting out of it with logical thoughts. Nothing worked. And it lasted till last month, August 2023. So from October 2020 to August 2023, every moment I spent, I was scared of something horrible happening to me. I tried to use exercise, creative hobbies, and journaling, but nothing worked. I probably should have gone to a therapist sooner but somehow I was convinced that even that would not work because the therapist has no idea how the universe works, blah blah blah. And then one day, I was reflecting back on a few of my pets who had died the previous week, and a month before then, I lost two pets, both of whom I tried to save, I did literally everything to save them, and nothing worked. And at that moment, while looking back to it a week later, I finally realized how some things are actually out of our control and no matter how much we try, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, and life and death are part of the "grand plan" and there's nothing we can do to change it. And I stopped caring. Heart rate increased? Probably a 130-140+? Okay. I'll die. That's okay. I did my part. I didn't do my part. Either is fine. And the next morning I woke up, and I really felt as if I was back in September 2020, a time 3 years ago, when I didn't have crippling anxiety and panic attacks 24*7. Unfortunately, my pets had to die before I realized it. That sucks. But there's nothing I could have done to save them which I hadn't. And just like that, somehow miraculously it worked. Though 1 month is still a very short time to come to a conclusion about these things I am hopeful about this one. So my tip is, learn to let it go. Let it go...
@@humaqayyyum8372 - The anxiety did come back last week - but to be honest, it is still much much more manageable than what it used to be before. :) Nowadays, once I feel anxiety coming, I can take a deep breath and ride it out without turning into a mess like I used to before. I think anxiety will probably be a lifelong thing, and to be honest I am only 30, yet to become a dad. Now imagine the amount of anxiety and fear when I become one. So I think anxiety will never go away but I don't need it to control my life. 🙂
I have been in counseling for years. My anxiety is very crippling, making the decision that should be simple such as putting jam on toast or honey shuts me down completely, even causing non epileptic seizures. The neurologist said it was convertions disorder. I want ìt to end more than anything.
I'm sorry that you're suffering. My adult daughter experience the same crippling anxiety and now the doctors diagnosed her with epilepsy. Sending you love and prayers!
I was in an accident and lost my friend. Did not become aware that I had anxiety issues for 3 years. Finally breakthrough happened on a Vipassana course after that worked with a therapist and my anxiety alarm system has begun to reset itself to normalcy.
One of the comments below indicated that anxiety is not a serious condition. I disagree from personal experience. I started to experience numbness in my hands and feet as well as my face. I had diagnostic testing to examine my nerves and nothing was wrong, thank goodness! Then I experienced extreme nausea in which an endoscopy and further testing indicated that my gallbladder and everything else was normal. At the end of all of these diagnostic test, my medical team came to the conclusion that it was an expression of my chronic anxiety. I grew up with alcoholic parents and now have two adult siblings that are both addicts with mental health disorders. It’s gotten to a point where I no longer can care for them. My body is saying stop! So anxiety is serious and can express itself in many ways that we are not accustomed to or have knowledge of.
Problems are part of life and so naturally it’s also normal to have anxiety. No need to go take medication for anxiety. Being patient and grateful (for the blessings in life) are the two things we need to do when we are anxious. In our Islamic tradition we are encouraged to ask help from Allah when we are anxious. And this is really therapeutic.
You start very slowly , force yourself to do something small every day, after a couple of months you will experience an improvement in your strength, enabling you to reach a new goal, it's better than giving up on yourself
My Dad passed away in front of me at a young age. The Psychiatrist put me on Clonopin for years, these drugs will ruin you for years…. running is my best medicine.
YAH says "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving let your requests be made known to HIm and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus"
The only way to cure anxiety is to understand it so you can ALLOW it. Exercise is useful, but it won't cure it. Curiosity is getting closer to the right approach, but we still end up debating anxious thoughts. We must understand that it is scary at times, but NOT SERIOUS as I explain in several videos. Great discussion and I hope that helps. Sam
I have had bad anxiety for 20 years. I feel it every moment. Nothing works. If someone taps me on the shoulder I will jump and then freeze for 10 seconds. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Wow ! Never thought of it like this. After various therapy and learning techniques this is a way I that I never really tried and already felt less anxious by end of video just by changing thought
Pills help alot, and then gut healing, and keto diet, we need fats! Nutrition, anxiety is a liar, and it is nevrological problem, the alarm there is to tell you hey eat more clean, b vitamins..
I have a question : what if the person who’s anxiety is due to a back accident? They are terrified to move. When a little tweak hurts they get paralyzed. Now what? I suggested going back to physical therapy but they say” I am doing my own exercises in the morning “ so Im waiting and waiting but nothing seems to change
So when you get so worn out, it doesn't trigger your anxiety? Exhaustion causes anxiety for some people. Could you shed some more light here. I badly want to heal and help others heal.
IMO - I am so upset over this Israeli and Gaza mess I am beside myself. I am trying everything: positive affirmations, praying, keeping busy , etc. This type of scenario is so frightening. How do I calm myself down?
Turn your tv off. Problem solved. TV programs are called programs for a reason. They school you into fear etc. I turned fake news off in 1990 after reading the book 1984. I got it. TV has programmed people into believing all kinds of fake things. Such as nukes, dew’s, you will die without a jab and so on.
Mine was caused by occasional use of Ativan for insomnia. Ativan quickly disrupted the balance of gaba and glutamate and my ability to absorb gaba on my own. Nine years off Ativan and still can't live a normal life...nothing helps neurons destroyed by benzos.
The anxiety at its root is energy that is out of alignment with your belief systems that has been stored in the various energy centers....Probably caused by adapting to your child care givers and giving up your personal power and preferences. The 1st clue will be people pleasing, because your safety is at steak, so eventually you lose your personal identity and live your whole life to keep other people happy...so you can be safe. This all happens subconsciously...
I've always had EXTREME anxiety. So much that I can't even engage in day today tasks which are so ordinary for other people. I'm so ashamed to even admit it. I do have a job though. The only thing I can do is going there and coming back. On top of that, I lost my dad last September. Now my anxiety has gotten even worse. I'm struggling to even get through the day now. I also keep having suicidal thoughts now and then. I can only keep hoping for the best . 😢😢❤❤🙏🙏
Well just ignore those thoughts. Natural for that when its so bad. ....keep through the storm. Scary as it is. Im in awful place too. I cant even get off the floor from my weighted blanket. Losing work. Scared. Had the thought many times. But not going that route no way. Just going to keep pushing through this as hard as it is
@@ezeokolimaryann9154 It means so much even to hear/see these reassuring words. It's so kind of you to stop by and reply to me. Thank you loads. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@ezeokolimaryann9154 Thank you so much for your reply. It means so much that you took the time to leave me such a kind, up-lifting response. So nice of you. Thanks once again. ❤️❤️
Let relief come to YOU. Don't chase relief. Stop remedying fear and walk straight into it instead. Above all: Refuse to act or react to fear in even the subtlest way. Its your running that inflames it. Fear is an inner toddler looking to you for confirmation that a thing is fearful, if he looks to you and you're running for the hills then he will panic. Fear won't hurt you; don't run. Make a stand and experience it fully and it will fade quickly.
I needed this video. Might sound dumb but I need to watch this stuff other than looking up nonsense like the sport teams I love and thinking that is helping with my anxiety.
for people who have a crippling generalized anxiety disorder, you can have the physical effects of a panic attack even when in the middle of a fun conversation. it's the physical part that is wanted so badly for it just stop 🛑
Some anxiety is good, crippling anxiety is not good. Anxiety is a reaction generated by your subconscious in response to a pattern in the real world matching what is in your subconscious. The subconscious tries to keep you safe, so it creates this reaction to protect you. (Example - Social Anxiety - Fear of woman because your mother emotionally abused you and you have a program that is running in your subconscious that says women are dangerous, might judge you, might reject you). This subconscious program is a belief/narrative about a series of similar events tied to an emotion (good or bad). You need to use NeuroPlasticity to reprogram that program. The software of your brain was written during your formative years and does not change until you use some effort to reprogram your subconscious. This is what I do. I help you reprogram your brain.

Does anybody else get hot flushes outbofvthe blue .. but I feel actually ok not too stressed so not sure why it happened ... and how do i stop them forever
I have seen many videos on how to cure anxiety and I think no one, and I mean no one have addressed the issue like you guys did. You really nailed it in your discussion. Key takeaways “ when your action align with your values you feel less anxious. 👏
Had extreme ptsd after a family members suicide. Running saved my life. Edit: I had tried everything else, but it seemed to be the only thing that lowered my stress enough to where I could cope. I hope anyone else reading this understands you’ll get through hard times.
Thank you for that...you will get through them too ❤️
@@noself7889- You Really do Alot!! You’re so BLESSED to hv that Energy & Time .🙏🏼😎
I excuse myself to the bathroom where I can calm down. I feel it the only way. To calm mine. Maybe I should just keep doing that until. I can fix it. Cause it's so extreme my body starts moving like my hands start shaking. 😢❤ I also which I feel ashamed but it works I use my looks to make ppl like me so I feel comfortable and confident but it's so extreme that I stay inside my house. I have agoraphobia. I just scared of ppl sometimes❤ it's hard.😢 Ever since my mom passed away I feel I don't know who I am and how to be in this world. I am lost without her cause I was dependent on her. But she was always there and now just taking one day at a time. Trying to be strong.
I'm going through this right now! Thank you so much! I'm going to try running.
Well to be fair running and going to the gym helps, but at the end of the day that is also a way to bypass the core issue. When you get anxiety, it's your body's way of saying something is wrong, which means you have to pay attention to the cause. The mind is really strange, so maybe you will get anxiety just to have an excuse to run?
Maybe running helps you in the moment to break free of your environment, so maybe that's a clue as to what is causing it.
Edit: And obviously it can also be that you are not over the ptsd, there is a great method to deal with stressful thoughts and you can find it all over TH-cam. It's called the work by Byron Katie, there are a few videos that talk about death and the way we think we should view it. It's hard to understand and you might brush it off as insane, but it's really the truth if you have an open mind.
The most important war to win is the one within and against yourself. Respect to all. You are never alone.
Hard physical exercise is the fastest way for me to reduce my anxiety. Journaling, meditation help too but a physical exercise never fails me.
Yes, honestly, I have the will power to ignore every other symptom except for the shortness of breath. I noticed that whenever I experience palpitations, the intensity of my shortness of breath also increases. And when the intensity of my shortness of breath increases, I start to feel anxious and panicky.
My cardiologist told me that my symptoms are caused by the MVP(Mitral Valve Prolapse) and Mitral and Tricupidal regurgitation. At the same time, he also mentions that I suffer from anxiety disorder. He doesn't seem remotely concerned about my heart diagnosis. He didn't give me any meds for MVP/MVR. He just told me to do a yearly heart echocardiogram. Nothing more, nothing less.
What's interesting about my cardiologist is that he links MVP symptoms with anxiety disorder symptoms. He told me that no one will tell you this link between anxiety disorder symptoms and MVP. According to him, anxiety disorder symptoms are just a byproduct of the issue with MVP. In other words, the root problem is actually MVP, according to him.
Who knows at this point what actually is causing my shortness of breath? My previous primary care doctor thinks it's post cov!d syndrome and the new primary care doctor thinks this is caused by anxiety disorder.
Yes,I too am scared shit when my heart palpitates and pounds and have shortness of breath due to anxiety attacks due to certain triggers .yes I also had shortness of breath after my COVID episode , but that was for a couple of months....
I'm disabled
Walking helps. I can’t/dont don’t do the hardcore stuff but just get out and walk . Try it.
@@CelestialTrailblazerthat heart issue doesn't cause anxiety.
I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and 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
I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
His name is *DR Adolf Petter*
@ohmakure4716
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.
It’s unbelievably helpful to see people (especially men) talking so openly about crippling anxiety. I really admire and respect the honesty in this video. Thanks for helping us feel a little less weird!
I was trying to find this "only cure" as stated as the title. Watched for 5 minutes and still nothing. No such cure was mentioned.
How is this bullshit helpful? It's just misleading.
I agree, it was good to hear
I have social anxiety in all platforms of life: social, romantic, work, casual just to name a few.. it has crippled me in many ways. The fear of rejection or failure has caused me to turn down promotions, avoid social event that I presume would be embarrassing for me, stop academic progress.. Due to fear of perceived rejection, I prefer social isolation, but silently I 💯 wish for connections n from this depression comes from. At this point I’m defeated, sleep/eat/work the end, no new adventures for me.
I’m at that point>> why should I have to put in 200% in everything I do majority of this effort is wasted energy to overcome or mask this neurotic disease.
I have been on ssri, bzd, bb, none has given me clinically acceptable results..
At this point I want the cheat sheet, the restart button. I am also in that space where I am not suicidal, but if I am to die now take me in my sleep where it is peaceful
How are you now? I hope you are doing better. I am no expert, but here are two things that work for me:
1- Running (any exercise): I used to be a shitty runner, and I would give up after running for just a few minutes. However, as I started to run daily, I pushed myself and fought through the pain. I realized that my mind gave up faster than my body. If I pushed myself a little longer and fought the pain I could run a lot further. Remember to breathe properly and keep good posture. You can always look up some how to videos. So when you are running and pushing yourself you are essentially fighting off stress and pain, and anxiety is painful and stressful right ? It is pretty much the same imo. So you are not getting overwhelmed by a huge amount of pain and stress but you are making yourself stronger by dealing with a controlled amount of it.
So this made me better at fighting off stress and my social anxiety started to feel less intense. If you're too anxious to run outside, you can find some follow-along exercise videos on TH-cam. Personally, when it rains or I can't run for some reason, I usually follow short ab exercise videos from a channel named Athlean X. Any kind of exercise where you push yourself makes you mentally tougher. It's a much better alternative to medication. Get a yoga mat for working out indoors.
2 - Reading books out loud: Reading out loud has helped me because, being socially anxious, I have always felt that my voice sounded weird. It might have been all in my head or because I lacked confidence while speaking, but it bothered me. Speaking anymore that a few seconds weirded me out. Reading out loud has made me comfortable with listening to and getting used to my own voice. As a result, speaking has become easier for me.
Recently, I've been reading a book called 'Can't Hurt Me' by David Goggins. I got it a few weeks ago, and David Goggins himself is truly an inspiration, he too . I recommend looking him up on TH-cam. He too deeply emphasizes on the importance of physical exercise to toughen yourself mentally.
The problem I faced while doing the above was
1 - getting on with it. You have to start. You have to find a way to start. Find someone to help you start working out consistently. If you don't have anyone to help you have to find it in you to begin. Or join a gym if possible
2 - inconsistency, especially in running or working out. If you miss a few days, try to get back into it and don't be too hard on yourself. If possible, consider joining a gym if possible or setting aside specific time for working out. It always feels hard in the beginning but as you do it and build some momentum you will find it easy.
Remember not to consume alcohol or weed, and always believe that you can get better.
I hope you experience life better and find a lot of happiness."
I can totally relate. Blessings to you ❤
@@noself7889I wonder what is that ketovore diet's purpose? Could you further elaborate?
Weed is relaxing
@@FLYDIEHARDweed can also eventually make it 10x worse. I smoked for a long time and don’t recommend it to anyone that deals with anxiety. I know every individual is different but for a lot of people with crippling social anxiety it can end up doing more harm than good.
My anxiety can be so damaging to where I cannot function daily. And it all started with meditation abuse. I wish now these days I could find peace from the anxiety.
Meditation? Or Medication abuse?
@@jvasquez222 i think she means Medications yes
Me too mine begin with a medication i think it was too strong for my system
I have had crippling anxiety since very early age. I'm middle aged now and it came back a few months ago. I know I'm not satisfied with my life, but a recent trip to a friend living in the country side confirmed it. The anxiety was gone during that whole week, and came back with full force when I woke up in my own bed again. Your video described the process and the why so well.
- tackle the physiology (exercise for instance)
-ask what is it trying to tell me? (what do I need to change in my life). Similarly see it as a useful tool that's letting you know you need to take a deeper look at some aspect of your life
- experiment with a reframing of your experiences (as a therapist would have you do)
- sit with it (acceptance)
“We’ve pathologized discomfort.” Wow! So true! Really appreciated this episode.
I think telling everyone one treatment fits all is the solution, I have been struggling with anixety/panic attacks most 10 years with a hole in my mouth from biting from stress, I was able manage it with exercise, cold showers, Isolation tank, Brazilian jiu jitsu, last 3 years those tactics failed on me, I eventually burned myself out, and been trying to do all the types of natural methods for 3 years to get back nothing is touching my agoraphobia, and I have come to conclusion medication is what I need (buspirone atm, I don't like ssri/snri personal reason) I need some crush so I can change my living standards and then change my life.
I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for decades (CPTSD). So much so that my body is physically ill. I have chronic hives and I need to sleep just to make it through the day because the anxiety in my body exhausts me. I see a counselor regularly and have attended support groups and many many classes. Nothing has helped. I don’t think accepting it or seeing it as an alarm helps. There is nothing wrong in my life. There is nothing to be alarmed about. It is simply just the effects of childhood trauma.
That sounds really challenging. For anxiety, sometimes it can help to allow yourself to have those feelings. And let them run their course. It might seem counterintuitive but, allowing it can help process the anxiety. Sometimes very quickly. Hopefully even getting you back to a more content mental/emotional state. But good luck out there, for what it's worth
It might be a vitamin B12 deficiency. You might need injections if you can't absorb it properly.
My crippling anxiety manifests in my body,chronic pain, muscles stiffness, joints stiffness, burning skin, shaking, trembling, throat tightening, strong sense of smell, the list goes on. I can't sit with it, its torture, i run the hospital, night after night, it's 24/7 not just now and again.
May God heal all of our anxious feelings in Jesus name.
Amen
Amen
amen
Amen 🙏
Amen
This video is so needed out there.
My hill run is decluttering & cleaning & reorganizing. Sometimes it can be a lot... we can't constantly run up hills.
I have noticed a shift recently where I'm more able to in the moment or close thereafter, assess the string of anxiety, & then more directly address it. It feels monumental inwardly, & now seeing subtleties outwardly.
This video/discussion helped me to relax my shoulders some & feel how far I have come.
Thank you.
To the man who exercises to remove anxiety. This is correct because you actually remove adrenaline which means your adrenal glands are releasing to much due to anxiety. Also I heard someone talking real fast which was the guy in the middle.This anxiety is in you mind of course but it’s also in your lungs and breathing. It was easy to see from listening to this. I believe you get control of how you talk and breathe you will calm down. I also had this issue. When we speak to a person we have 5 or more thoughts come to mind and we want to interrupt so we don’t forget and what you need to do is get to the point you just listen and not speak even though you may forget.The place you want to get to is to not have these feelings like you need to speak and give information to the conversation. This takes training and practice and it works however nothing will help more than short meditation. I would start with 5 min sessions as often as possible. Remember that meditation is not a clearing of the mind like people think. You will still have many thoughts come to mind when you first start. Make sure to breathe from your stomach and fill it with air and don’t breathe from your chest. I have had chronic anxiety for 40 years. I have beat it every time. It is horrible and crippling but I can beat it. I have it now because I get healthy and then don’t think about it and go back to my old ways. I will also say an extremely healthy diet will also make the mind and body work exactly as it should but go extreme. You will no longer enjoy food but the other 23 hours of the day your not eating you will have a very high quality of life by being calm and full of quality energy. I hope this helps anyone listening out there
Could you suggest a diet regimen that worked for you?
@@dd-pm9cg I thought I covered that but I see I just mentioned diet. Because I went to a health and wellness center and spent $4000 I wanted to do it right so I had to go extreme but anxiety was gone. I ate lean means but only once a day. I ate vegetables all day everyday however I carried broccoli with me and ate it raw every 3 hours and only a few of the little spears. At lunch I ate a salad loaded down and added egg and chicken as well. It was actually Wendy’s apple pecan though not the best salad I know but I like it and it worked. I carried my own olive oil for the salad. I ate many types of nuts throughout the day. I had usually one or two apples a day but being a tall man 2 was better. As far as diet goes a raw diet is best just clean the veggies. Eating was not fun but I was so healthy I got used to it as well as shopping for it. It was routine for years. I did not eat Oatmeal back then but I would add that as well now. I would limit your read meat intake to once a week unless you sweat a lot then maybe 2-3 times a week. Stick with cold water fish even if you don’t like it. You would have to read the previous message because your sleep pattern is very important as well as light exercise. Reduce or stay away from conflict or things that may seriously upset you if possible. Hang around people that believe and want to see you reach your goal. If you have bad anxiety get to a psychiatrist and stay on a mild med for now. It will actually improve your health staying calm. Good luck and get ready for the reward of your life
@@zackk695 thanks for your wonderful reply 🤗
Anxiety is disordered fear. The cause is an inherited predisposition to having creative intellect and resourcefulness. Intelligent people are the ones who suffer. The Linden Method is the only approach that has ever resonated with me.
Can you please tell me more about the linden method? please
And that’s why: Ignorance is bless.
It's a bit hard to go for a run up a hill, or go jog around the block, or go meditate, or any other activity, IF the anxiety attack is happening whilst in the middle of doing the grocery shopping, or you're in the middle of a work meeting, or you're a receptionist who wears high heels!!!!
I agree it is very hard
Totally agree with you! People don’t understand unless you’ve personally experienced it!
I totally understand the feeling of feeling like you’re not good enough unless you’re on drugs or drunk because the anxiety is diminished and other people feel comfortable around you too. It messes you up and just digs you deeper into that hole of I’m not good enough!!! Time to no longer treat the surface issues and dig deep!!!❤
This explanation of anxiety is life-changing. Thank you.
Well, the word for me is meditation. I'm just saying that when anxiety hits I try to remember who I am, a strange, beautiful, magical and rare existential being in a mysterious and incredible universe that I can barely understand but it's enough to realize that I'm not all that makes me feel anxious ... thank you Minimalists who were and are on my way. Hugs 🤗
I was contemplating maybe I should stop going to therapy but Ryan's point about those 4 lightbulb moments makes so much sense. I will keep on working towards my lightbulb moment!
I wake up in the middle of the night with crippling panic attacks almost every night and dont even remember the last time I slept through the night and woke up feeling rested. Don't even know where this is coming from. ..
I pray that God grant you peace and rest as well as strategy to defeat this battle. Whatsoever things are lovely, pure, of good report, think on these things. Find something to be grateful for daily and serve someone who needs help in someway. Example,Read to an older person whose eyes have gotten dim, help at a food pantry so much more, but don't give up, your help comes from God and those he place on your journey to help you. My prayers are with you.
Not sure if you’ve tried this but breathing exercises before bed and in the morning have helped me. About 10 minutes each time
Not a single word in this podcast that didn't have me nodding in furious agreement. Thanks guys for putting it up.
First of all I'm 71, work out, walk everywhere, good blood pressure etc. My ENT prescribed Venlafaxine 37.5 mg for my Vestibular Migraine that came out of nowhere. He said take it for 2 weeks. I took one at 10am and by Noon my Vertigo was 80% gone. I thought cool.. 2am the next morning I woke up with a blinding headache, and I don't get headaches. But I did read on Web MD you might want to watch your Blood Pressure if you take this. So I decided to take my Blood pressure. 196/121. Yeah off to the Emergency room I went.
I realize different medications can work differently in different people.. Just a Heads up.
Fascinating because according to many studies ppl who are anxious outlive ppl who are not anxious. That is a well regulated and healthy dose of anxiety. Indeed it is a heads up system to allow us to prepare.
Hmmm really? Where is this research? Problem is that it’s not as enjoyable a life to have constant anxiety.
I'm glad I clicked on this video! It resonates with me more than all the other videos out in the TH-cam ocean. In recent years I've suspected my anxiety is a symptom of personal problems in my life that are not being fulfilled or acknowledged.
It’s OK to be Afraid. That’s the cure! Fear of fear and feelings in general are not the enemy! Thank you!
When I have a job that I absolutely love withing 6 mos. I get really crippling anxiety. Almost like a panic attack. And I can't go in. I'm on S.S.I. now for that and depression but I want to be able to keep a job. This is the reason I've been homeless 2023 makes it 20 years that I've been homeless now. I'm sick of it and need to learn to keep a job to get out of this situation.
I’ve unknowingly had moderate to severe anxiety my whole life. I didn’t realize I had anxiety attacks for years, because it has masks of anger, sadness, paranoia, which lead to me being violent, hateful, suicidal, and a drunk.
I’ve rebuilt my entire life and it has slowly but surely been dwindling away. But it’s still definitely present, it’s just much easier to cope with.
Today I had a very simple thing trigger my anxiety that lead to an anxiety attack which lead me to be furious, to my balling my eyes out and begging it to stop because I felt so defeated and terrorized. It took me several hours to snap out of it then I crashed kinda hard and then I knew it was done.
I just know I’m blessed now to be where I am. I haven’t had an episode like that in a while and I wish it would just stop. But I think I’m gonna pray and get some solid sleep tonight and hit the gym hard tomorrow and get ahold of my damn therapist.
This year I’ve started to have absolutely crippling anxiety and IBS. Whenever my GI issues start acting up it activates the anxiety. The GI issues got to be so bad that I am scared to leave the house or see anyone because I could start panicking away from my safe place. I get shortness of breath, overheated, shakiness, muscle weakness, nauseous, etc. It got to be so bad that I would be crying my eyes out just trying to get the courage to get groceries. It never goes away. I’ve had some days that are better than others but in the last month it is at a 10 everyday. I just want a breath from it. Even for a day. I don’t even want the GI issues to go away at this point. I just want to not panic every time I feel slightly uncomfortable. I’ve tried medications, therapy, meditation, prayer, even vagus nerve stimulation. They all help for a moment. But I desperately need a long term solution. A way to deal with it better.
Sending a lot of love out to all dealing with life's alarming and lightbulb moments. Often triggered by them, I try to breathe them off or find testimonies like these ones. They are part of life and there seem to be different ways of dealing with them. That can only be inspiring and reassuring for all of us, starting aNew everyday
Cut out all processed food sugar alcohol I take magnesium and B vitamins all so simple exercise walking avoid people with a lot of drama

That paying your debts off, etc is so, so true. Anxiety is the feeling of not being in control, if you owe people anything, there is a little bit of you who is not in control.
looking back this makes a lot of sense for me.First time i had a panic attack at 13yo i was moved from a school that i grew up , to another that i didnt know nobody plus i was forced to some class on a church that i didnt gave a rat ass about
The current wave of anxiety for started when i was closing my dream business my personal training studio , bad relationship that i wasnt being valued , and the uncertainty that i would keep my clients when i close my business,a perfect storm
Wow! Firstly, I really liked how we can visualise anxiety as an alarm system - what is it telling us? And secondly, to accept and make peace with anxiety instead of fighting it. I suddenly started experiencing crippling anxiety last week and have been fighting it. Perhaps I should identify the triggers that set off my alarm. I’m so afraid of anxiety and the unpleasant sensations it creates; worrying people will be able to tell I’m struggling and I’ll make an idiot of myself. When in reality, I’m a little burnt out and anxiety is telling me I need to switch off and reset. Instead of fearing anxiety, I shall thank it.
Thank you for helping me change my mindset to a more positive one.
I really needed to hear this. So many nuggets. “What is my body trying to protect me from?” “When my actions align with my values, I feel less anxiety”. Maybe I’m afraid of a therapist because I feel like it’s not going to do anything. I’m afraid of having to discover and accept that I can’t fix my anxiety. But sitting in this anxiety isn’t helping a damn thing. Thank you for this video. Great practical tips.
Some anxiety is good, crippling anxiety is not good. Anxiety is a reaction generated by your subconscious in response to a pattern in the real world matching what is in your subconscious. The subconscious tries to keep you safe, so it creates this reaction to protect you. (Example - Social Anxiety - Fear of woman because your mother emotionally abused you and you have a program that is running in your subconscious that says women are dangerous, might judge you, might reject you). This subconscious program is a belief/narrative about a series of similar events tied to an emotion (good or bad). You need to use NeuroPlasticity to reprogram that program. The software of your brain was written during your formative years and does not change until you use some effort to reprogram your subconscious. This is what I do. I help you reprogram your brain.
" I find when my actions align with my values i feel less anxiety" very true for me. I learned this from a therapist.
Very true
Trying to sleep at 03:34 am with worst possible scenarios about tomorrow. And do you know what is the best thing ? Tomorrow i have nothing special to do. Just an ordinary day.
I know you posted this a year ago. and I hope you have overcome this, but what works for me is sound baths, or you can get videos of different frequency sounds, especially for anxiety. 👍
@@Mark16D thank you for your good wishes brother. I saw your notification while searching something to watch in my bed peacefully. I guess that was just a phase through my mental and psychical development. I can easily say i have full control on my anxiety and using it to be better everyday. Dont know how it happened but i workout 5 days a week. Have someone i love. Have my own job which i hate to do. But i feel good, i look good. Trying to be better and stronger everyday. Not care about anything except my “effective area”, staying away from news and trying to make everyone i can “touch” day better(if they deserve ofc). I cant even remember when i wrote this and thank you again for showing me how far i go.
This is the most resonating video I’ve ever watched but I wish I could call or go to a doctor. I feel like I would be so embarrassed just shaking or having a panic attack for no reason.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14: 1-4
My daughter first verse she learned
Before the pandemic I never thought that anxiety could affect you that intensely. I used to only have small amounts of anxiety and honestly I wish I could have those small amounts of anxiety instead of having health anxiety
Because this health anxiety shit is another beast like GODDAMN BRO!!! It's the worse and it legitimately made me feel like I was losing control. I've had days when I've been terrified out of my mind. I didn't know how to deal with it at all
I've had way too many symptoms to even count on one hand lol
Head pressures, chest pain, muscle cramps, tensed body, body shakes, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, heart palpitations, numbness, vertigo, depersonalisation, feeling like nothing around me is real, State of panic and fear, impending doom, neck pain, shortness of breath etc...
All that happened a week after having my first ever panic attack. I had a caffeine withdrawal and then all those symptoms just started occurring out of nowhere. I've had some really bad insomnia at the time as well, had a lot of days where I couldn't fall asleep at all. I was trying to couldn't sleep one bit. So I was just awake, bloodshot eyes on the internet trying to look for a solution to my problem. I remember obsessively watching podcasts about anxiety and I would just do that everyday.
Having anxiety for the first time and not knowing who to talk to was most definitely a challenge for me and I've never been through that before in my life so this is quite new for me
I've only had social anxiety but that was nothing compared to having health anxiety non-stop. I'm scared of everything now. I hate feeling this way. I just want my normal self back🥲
You are not alone . We can address this. I wish we could take it away instantly, but maybe knowing we are safe and try to self talk to our thoughts can help and we talk to God for refuge 🫂🫂 thank you for sharing
@SugarsugarFruity-hz6lz
How are you going now. I read your post and it resonates with me.
I truly hope all is great and cheerful🎉
Similar here. I have been having palpitations normally whenever i am stressed or overthinking. Last week i am having non stop panic attacks. I am trying meditation and mindful thoughts now
Title promises a cure. But when you click on the video, you end up watching 10 min of someone telling you their story with anxiety.
No added value !
I have suffered from Anxiety for 2 years. My healing started when i gave my life to Jesus Christ. Just as written in Matthew 11:28 - Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Now I am free because of Jesus.
I need Jesus right now.
I LOVE LOVE My Anxiety It is a chemical reaction ALARM but the benefits I get from it are AWESOME!!! I get acute sensory to help with my highspeed forklift job, I get a wider visual, I get fight or flight energy for like 11-hour shift, BUT when you start to LOVE your anxiety and use it's wonders...it tends to go away DANG IT!!!! I had to make peace with anxiety on my own because DR's tried to kill my kids using me by putting me on antipsychotics by falsely diagnosing me, then my husband and I decided the I was too dangerous to medicate when it wasn't even me It was meds, now I am a happy bouncy spaz and all of my kids have me as an example of triumph enjoying my anxiety I call it one of my favorite superpowers
I just dont know what to do anymore. Meds aren't working and my anxiety is only getting worse. It used to be a struggle once every month, then every week, then every day. Now it's every hour. I can't keep going on like this, it's untenable.
Your comment sounds very relatable. If interested, allowing or embracing the physical sensations of anxiety as they arise, to fully run their course. It might help to process those reactions. Sometimes pretty quickly. And you might be able to use the energy of the stress in a positive way. Lemons to lemonade, existentially, if you will
Are you feeling ok nowadays?
The thought of myself running up a hill is debilitating when I can hardly focus to even check the mail or walk out in my own yard without feeling dizzy, scared, and sick.
I feel your pain... I have so much regret and guilt at my lack of production due to my anxiety... it makes me anxious... I try to "catch up" to where I feel I should be but this causes me to have 100 things going at once which causes me anxiety ... people tell me I'm doing good but I'm a ball of tension and stress... I stopped benzos 8 years ago and at this point wish I was still on them... at least I was a productive human even though I was in a dull state
I get some relief from anxiety while I'm walking but it's a;lways right there. As soon as I stop, it catches up with me. I wake up to anxiety, and I go to sleep with anxiety. I'm just trying to hang on until I can see a professional, in one month. I took clexea for 25 yrs and came off of it. Very slowly at first but not so slow with the smaller dosage. I think I'm might be expericneing redrawal that is aggravated by real life problems.
Sadly same 😭😭
So it's been over a month since I posted this. I went to a mental health place. I gave a guy my life history. He listened pretty well. Then a psychiatris came in. I told him I didn't want to take meds. He told me that the talk therapy folks would be in touch. As of today they haven't offered a talk therapist. They don't have one that isn't booked. So, I"m looking on line in my area for other therapist.
@@frankclements1431 how bad is the anxiousness for you?
I don't want to be on meds either
Some doctors say anxiety and depression is anger turned inward. It can be quite true in some cases.
Thank you so much! So human! Let your anxiety be the alarm of something, not the problem to solve, beautiful. Love from España
I liked that too
Sounds like BS. I have an anxiety disorder and this sort of thing doesn't prevent the panic attacks or stop them
I do, too. While I understand how it can help to accept how it feels, some people need more. And I workout on a regular basis, but if I'm to a certain point of anxiety, especially panic, then forcing myself to do something more intense worsens it. I slow down, do something more somatic, and drink water. Some people also need medication. There's so much that goes into anxiety, along with other mental health issues. If this video helps some people, great! But if not, there are so many other things that can. ❤
Tbh I found listening to these guys made my anxiety feel worse, as they mentioned all the things that are triggering me atm ughhh!
I enjoy some discomfort like hard hikes, cold weather. I’ll get panic attacks when I’m with my best friends for no reason at all. The only things that I know for sure cause me bad anxiety is being in a situation where I can’t leave or there is no restroom. When I get anxious I have to poop and I get nauseous. If there’s no bathroom it makes me panic. I don’t like being in boats or situations like that where I can’t just leave. If I drink a lot I can handle it but I think I feel worse when I sober up.
Sometimes crippling anxiety can stem from sin. That's why repentance is important to because we can move through our shadows instead of hiding in them. Hiding in our sin causes anxiety. If we live righteously (not self-righteous) then we can walk and speak in confidence. Amen, blessings
Not sure if this will help anyone or not. And I am not a doctor. I have never even tried therapy - maybe that would have helped sooner. Anyway, coming back to the story here.
Back in October 2020, when the world was shut down thanks to COVID-19, for some reason one day I suddenly got a fear that something horrible would happen to me. There was no getting out of it with logical thoughts. Nothing worked. And it lasted till last month, August 2023.
So from October 2020 to August 2023, every moment I spent, I was scared of something horrible happening to me.
I tried to use exercise, creative hobbies, and journaling, but nothing worked. I probably should have gone to a therapist sooner but somehow I was convinced that even that would not work because the therapist has no idea how the universe works, blah blah blah.
And then one day, I was reflecting back on a few of my pets who had died the previous week, and a month before then, I lost two pets, both of whom I tried to save, I did literally everything to save them, and nothing worked.
And at that moment, while looking back to it a week later, I finally realized how some things are actually out of our control and no matter how much we try, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, and life and death are part of the "grand plan" and there's nothing we can do to change it.
And I stopped caring. Heart rate increased? Probably a 130-140+? Okay. I'll die. That's okay. I did my part. I didn't do my part. Either is fine.
And the next morning I woke up, and I really felt as if I was back in September 2020, a time 3 years ago, when I didn't have crippling anxiety and panic attacks 24*7.
Unfortunately, my pets had to die before I realized it. That sucks. But there's nothing I could have done to save them which I hadn't.
And just like that, somehow miraculously it worked. Though 1 month is still a very short time to come to a conclusion about these things I am hopeful about this one.
So my tip is, learn to let it go. Let it go...
Hey h0w are uh n0w?
@@humaqayyyum8372 - The anxiety did come back last week - but to be honest, it is still much much more manageable than what it used to be before. :) Nowadays, once I feel anxiety coming, I can take a deep breath and ride it out without turning into a mess like I used to before.
I think anxiety will probably be a lifelong thing, and to be honest I am only 30, yet to become a dad. Now imagine the amount of anxiety and fear when I become one. So I think anxiety will never go away but I don't need it to control my life. 🙂
I have been in counseling for years. My anxiety is very crippling, making the decision that should be simple such as putting jam on toast or honey shuts me down completely, even causing non epileptic seizures. The neurologist said it was convertions disorder. I want ìt to end more than anything.
I'm sorry that you're suffering. My adult daughter experience the same crippling anxiety and now the doctors diagnosed her with epilepsy. Sending you love and prayers!
really insightful. Anxiety is a tool . Never understood it from the "alarm system" point of view.
I was in an accident and lost my friend. Did not become aware that I had anxiety issues for 3 years. Finally breakthrough happened on a Vipassana course after that worked with a therapist and my anxiety alarm system has begun to reset itself to normalcy.
One of the comments below indicated that anxiety is not a serious condition. I disagree from personal experience. I started to experience numbness in my hands and feet as well as my face. I had diagnostic testing to examine my nerves and nothing was wrong, thank goodness! Then I experienced extreme nausea in which an endoscopy and further testing indicated that my gallbladder and everything else was normal. At the end of all of these diagnostic test, my medical team came to the conclusion that it was an expression of my chronic anxiety. I grew up with alcoholic parents and now have two adult siblings that are both addicts with mental health disorders. It’s gotten to a point where I no longer can care for them. My body is saying stop! So anxiety is serious and can express itself in many ways that we are not accustomed to or have knowledge of.
Problems are part of life and so naturally it’s also normal to have anxiety. No need to go take medication for anxiety. Being patient and grateful (for the blessings in life) are the two things we need to do when we are anxious. In our Islamic tradition we are encouraged to ask help from Allah when we are anxious. And this is really therapeutic.
You have a great point .
And if it stops you from sleeping?😂.
You guys are awesome! I appreciate your transparency.
That was the best 10 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Concise and profound. Thank you guys!
huh ?! lol
How do you excercise when your so fatigued from anxiety depression diabetes pcos and other life issues
You start very slowly , force yourself to do something small every day, after a couple of months you will experience an improvement in your strength, enabling you to reach a new goal, it's better than giving up on yourself
My Dad passed away in front of me at a young age. The Psychiatrist put me on Clonopin for years, these drugs will ruin you for years…. running is my best medicine.
It is hard . I had to relax and try to understand why I have anxiety
I have it since covid even worse then I ever had.
YAH says "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving let your requests be made known to HIm and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus"
The only way to cure anxiety is to understand it so you can ALLOW it. Exercise is useful, but it won't cure it. Curiosity is getting closer to the right approach, but we still end up debating anxious thoughts. We must understand that it is scary at times, but NOT SERIOUS as I explain in several videos. Great discussion and I hope that helps. Sam
This is the best vid on anxiety on youtube. Awesome 👌
Please pray for me. I have severe panic attacks. If you have the same thing and comment I will pray for you as well.
I have had bad anxiety for 20 years. I feel it every moment. Nothing works. If someone taps me on the shoulder I will jump and then freeze for 10 seconds. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Wow ! Never thought of it like this. After various therapy and learning techniques this is a way I that I never really tried and already felt less anxious by end of video just by changing thought
Pills help alot, and then gut healing, and keto diet, we need fats! Nutrition, anxiety is a liar, and it is nevrological problem, the alarm there is to tell you hey eat more clean, b vitamins..
@Elizabethfrunk I am glad it works for you..**
Good advice, this is how I resolved mine. Create structure and control your life and do many things, cause then your brain is not wondering around
I think anxiety has different causes, and it's different for everyone. I like the soft approach the most. Love the actions/values part. Very specific.
I have a question : what if the person who’s anxiety is due to a back accident? They are terrified to move. When a little tweak hurts they get paralyzed. Now what? I suggested going back to physical therapy but they say” I am doing my own exercises in the morning “ so Im waiting and waiting but nothing seems to change
So when you get so worn out, it doesn't trigger your anxiety? Exhaustion causes anxiety for some people. Could you shed some more light here. I badly want to heal and help others heal.
I have never heard of exhaustion causing anxiety
@@markme4 Oh , probably nervous system weakness? I'm not sure. 🤔 Hope it's not in my head. Btw, thanks for your reply
IMO - I am so upset over this Israeli and Gaza mess I am beside myself. I am trying everything: positive affirmations, praying, keeping busy , etc. This type of scenario is so frightening. How do I calm myself down?
Yeah just praying is helping me a little. Casting out the devil in Jesus holy name helps me a lot through the Holy Spirit.
Turn your tv off. Problem solved. TV programs are called programs for a reason. They school you into fear etc. I turned fake news off in 1990 after reading the book 1984. I got it. TV has programmed people into believing all kinds of fake things. Such as nukes, dew’s, you will die without a jab and so on.
My anxiety comes from the fear of the future its just economy going to shit and i have health issues
Mine was caused by occasional use of Ativan for insomnia. Ativan quickly disrupted the balance of gaba and glutamate and my ability to absorb gaba on my own. Nine years off Ativan and still can't live a normal life...nothing helps neurons destroyed by benzos.
The anxiety at its root is energy that is out of alignment with your belief systems that has been stored in the various energy centers....Probably caused by adapting to your child care givers and giving up your personal power and preferences. The 1st clue will be people pleasing, because your safety is at steak, so eventually you lose your personal identity and live your whole life to keep other people happy...so you can be safe. This all happens subconsciously...
Thank you this is what I needed . Been good for 15 years and wham there inching back . Thank you for your insight and help
I've always had EXTREME anxiety. So much that I can't even engage in day today tasks which are so ordinary for other people. I'm so ashamed to even admit it. I do have a job though. The only thing I can do is going there and coming back. On top of that, I lost my dad last September. Now my anxiety has gotten even worse. I'm struggling to even get through the day now. I also keep having suicidal thoughts now and then. I can only keep hoping for the best . 😢😢❤❤🙏🙏
Well just ignore those thoughts. Natural for that when its so bad. ....keep through the storm. Scary as it is. Im in awful place too. I cant even get off the floor from my weighted blanket. Losing work. Scared. Had the thought many times. But not going that route no way. Just going to keep pushing through this as hard as it is
@@brizak70 Yes, lets keep going somehow. Thank you for your reply.
Sending you lots of light n love .just hang in there , everything will be alright
@@ezeokolimaryann9154 It means so much even to hear/see these reassuring words. It's so kind of you to stop by and reply to me. Thank you loads. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@ezeokolimaryann9154 Thank you so much for your reply. It means so much that you took the time to leave me such a kind, up-lifting response. So nice of you. Thanks once again. ❤️❤️
The fire alarm analogy make so much sense to me. It is time to put this into practice.
Let relief come to YOU. Don't chase relief. Stop remedying fear and walk straight into it instead. Above all: Refuse to act or react to fear in even the subtlest way. Its your running that inflames it. Fear is an inner toddler looking to you for confirmation that a thing is fearful, if he looks to you and you're running for the hills then he will panic. Fear won't hurt you; don't run. Make a stand and experience it fully and it will fade quickly.
I love when videos comeout and they all sound the same like its just that simple, just do this
Thank you. You cant know how helpfull this is some people in crisis.
Been sitting with it for thirty years.. is it supposed to feel better at some point?
I needed this video. Might sound dumb but I need to watch this stuff other than looking up nonsense like the sport teams I love and thinking that is helping with my anxiety.
for people who have a crippling generalized anxiety disorder, you can have the physical effects of a panic attack even when in the middle of a fun conversation. it's the physical part that is wanted so badly for it just stop 🛑
I had this last month :(
It seems to stop when you are able to fully allow yourself to have it
Then you might find, the anxiety can be used as existential fuel
Great to hear men talking about these issues

I would be fine with zero anxiety
Vitamin d3 with k2 does wonders for mine. Stick with it and you'll notice a difference. Exercise and do things that make you happy!
The best advice I've seen on line.
Im 25 and have been so sick since I was 19. So much shame and fear. I scream inside for help. Please pray for me. Im so lost.

Does anybody else get hot flushes outbofvthe blue .. but I feel actually ok not too stressed so not sure why it happened ... and how do i stop them forever
These guys have no idea what having a anxiety attack or panic attack really is!! Only the people that go through the attacks!!
That's that victim mentality talking.
Thanks guys ❤
I have seen many videos on how to cure anxiety and I think no one, and I mean no one have addressed the issue like you guys did. You really nailed it in your discussion. Key takeaways “ when your action align with your values you feel less anxious. 👏
Drinking helps but then it’s worse the next day 😅
