- NBA star Kevin Love’s candid discussion of his anxiety attacks inspired TODAY’s Carson Daly to reveal his struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and how he copes with it: “I may be a little anxious, but I know I’m going to be OK.” Psychotherapist Thomas Kersting says anxiety is “relatively normal,” but if it interferes with your functioning, you should seek professional help.

Carson Daly Opens Up About His Anxiety Disorder: ‘I Know I’m Going To Be OK’ | TODAY
People with panic and anxiety would understand every single word he said. 😔 😢 I'm one of them.
Me too i totally understand.
Me too, I’m going on 65 and have dealt with this pretty much all my life…when I was little, they did not know about this, so I went through a lot of emotional trauma from my family, drs and others 😢
Me to😭😭😭😭
Im in thesame boat. It's aggravating😓😥🥺
Anxiety is NO Joke. Until you suffer from it you have no idea. I had severe Anxiety almost everyday for a year like 5 years ago. I was on 2 different medications. I wasn't able to sleep some nights. Also my body was so weak I remember walking through the grocery store etc feeling like I was going to Collapse. It was the craziest/Scariest feeling. Luckily it all stopped as I started doing little things to help like thinking positive...working out..eating better. Going to church etc. It was the scariest time of my life. I broke down and cried soo many times because I felt helpless and was scared when I had Panic attacks.
Hi David... please can you explain to me some of your symptoms, I was diagnosed of anxiety disorder
God bless you David, I hope you’re still doing well sir.
this has happened to me several times..going to church and eating right is one of the major things...I was in a bad marriage for 15yrs and then when. I came out, I got to manage this anxiety...but magnesium l-threonate and good eating habits have helped me..I had insomnia for over a year, but now I sleep really well after using the magnesium for over 2years and I dont even use it as often anymore and in doing well
@@lovelynabodike9050 check out “Claire Weekes” audiobooks here on TH-cam. It’ll change your life regarding anxiety disorders.
FYI: I'd stay away from any medications. Stick to hi-end wines and craft beers.
I’m crying watching his story. I feel anxiety/panic daily. I hate it! It helps always to hear I’m not alone with this feeling. 🙏
I am the same way hun, I’ve always got anxiety and panic attacks, it’s horrible
I've had it all my life on and off, but it never really goes away, I'm always aware it could come on any time which constantly gets in the way of every day things, it got worse 2 years ago especially a week after my auntie past away I had a huge panic attack at work, my whole body felt weak, especially around my shoulders and chest, I felt like I was having a breakdown and a heart attack, 2 yrs on with medication i feel just ok. But on a daily basis I always feel short of breath, it's like I'm shallow breathing , i feel I'm fighting it rather than enjoying life, I used to be positive, laugh, smile and be confident, not so much now, I've almost closed myself off from friends and family, social life.. I'm at my happiest and safest when i go to bed.
Practice accepting into your life until the day you die. Wear it as a badge of honor. It makes you unique. Dont ever resist it. Turn towards it. I suffered for many years. I'm still not perfect but um totally satisfied and glad I went through it.
Me too..and i really hate it..
You’re not alone. It’s horrible and it’s exhausting.
I had anxiety for twenty years. It has disrupted my relationships and job and I know how helpless anxiety makes me feel. This video helped because I am not alone. I hope I can overcome my daily anxiety and I pray for everyone suffering from debilitating anxiety. 🙏
Check out “Claire Weekes” audiobooks here on TH-cam. It’ll change your life, I promise. Hope you’re doing well, friend! I’m in the same boat.
@@mikeappleget482 hi Mike. Who's Claire weekes? How did you hear of her?
I understand💗 I've lost numerous jobs due to anxiety. Currently unemployed. I tried applying for disability years ago and was denied.
20 years...wow...so sorry
How are you Corey? I have I have anxiety for three decades, I understand. Caring for myself as been a real issue. Are you able to work?
Anxiety sucks!😰
tinaloveseddie amen
It sure does..my anxiety was so bad at one point I looked like I was having seizures...but with therapy(no drugs) and meditation my anxiety levels are low most of the time now...it never "goes away" like some people think you just learn to deal with it in a constructive way...I dated a guy years ago who thought he could "fix me"....well,there was NOTHING wrong with me(but he was sure screwed up) and it took me a while to realize that...I applaud Carson Daly for coming forward and sharing his story,hopefully it will help others :)
Sunshine Hornick 💜🌈☁️
tinaloveseddie yeah it does
tinaloveseddie I agree, sometimes it just comes out of nowhere, but seeking therapy helps and ready self help books also, I try not to take any meds for it.
My anxiety was so out of control, I ruined my entire honeymoon, left early during my own birthday party, missed so many memories with my kids and the list continues. Talk Therapy really helps me as well as nutrition
Glad to hear that all of that has helped, especially the nutrition piece! It can be so easy to miss, but deficiency of so many different nutrients can result in anxiety!
@@Vivere17 my ex fiancé broke things off bc she felt I was unhappy, changed for the worse and started building a list of our indifferences partly bc of my career anxiety.
@@Vivere17 absolutely agree. Worse, I still went to counseling to talk about it (she said I wasn’t willing to) then told me her rebound didn’t work out. I thought I was going mad being treated like that.
@@Vivere17 I relocated while juggling covid layoff and career pivoting. It’s been brutal so it’s gonna take some time before I put myself out there, again.
@@CoconutBanger good thing for you it could have been worse my wife stick with me through my worst anxiety attacks and unemployment your fiancee wasnt worth it
You can rewire your mind, it’s not easy and it takes time but you have to work for it and dig real deep
I'm glad that people struggling with anxiety, find the courage to talk about it without shame.👍💕
Katina Diep talkingabout it is almost relieving
Physical Exercise! is SO helpful for anxiety: Walking, Running, Hiking, Biking, Swimming, Yoga, Dance...etc. It's all good!
100 % agree with you, 3-4 hours after an exercise i fell completely anxiety free
I have anxiety and I will have trouble breathing, weakness and dizziness and people don't even notice what's going on but it is hard to just turn off but anxiety is something that you have to accept in order to be able to live your life
It sounds like he's talking about my anxiety. Everyone always thinks it's just a synonym for stress but it's so much more than that. There have been times when I'm sitting on the couch, shopping or driving a car and I'll have a massive panic attack. At least in my experience a panic attack often feels like I'm on the edge of death and I'm going to stop breathing. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
Mischief Managed one thing that majorly helped me is just let the anxiety come. Feel it and when you stop resisting it it passes so much quicker. And with time it won't have control over you cuz your not feeding it. Take away the power. And I know it sucks and it's scary but just try to observe it and not feed into it. This has helped me immensely!
I have exactly the same symptoms, and yes the driving on motorways or long journeys is my worst time.
@@theresag.4188 Oh yeah totally. When you don't react negatively to the strange physical sensations, the vicious cycle doesn't have a place to start. When you don't try to fight a racing heart rate, it won't escalate into a panic attack.
when driving, I play music..that calms me down
Also working out a lot helps you trust me I’ve been their
It’s the fear of the fear. If you can get rid if the fear of the panic attack you won’t have them. I’ve been there 20 years ago. Much better now.
Any tips on how to rid yourself of that fear?
Harry Nield i have panic attacks and anxiety without any fear. I am not scared of my surroundings or perceived situations. That only works for certain people.
Yes everyone’s case is different. To rid yourself of the fear of having a panic attack you literally have to welcome one on. Do whatever causes you panic but do it, knowing and accepting that you will have a panic attack. Don’t teeter “oh I hope I don’t”, seriously just know you’re gonna deal with one and be as okay with that as you can.
@@sammyrodriguez2699 What i do is do that thing that makes me scared e.g I could not drive on the freeway for over e year..one day I told myself "I'm gonna do this! I'm more this!!..I'm stronger than .y anxiety " and I took my keys and BOM! drove to the freeway...my legs were shaking and my arms were shaking ...but I kept talking to myself ..yes you can do this...yes you can do this!!! I was sweaty and shaky, but I maintained the slow lane and got to my destination safely ....then the next day I did the same thing ...and I also play music when I drive, ..today, I dont even think about it...I just drive!!!,
@@ponmileeldorado7395 thank you
"What you resist persists". Someone told me that when I was at my worst with anxiety. That one line has helped me for almost 15 years now.
Wow, nothing helps me. Not Even this
@@Ashish-nd3xj I'm sorry. I hope it gets better for you.
@@Ashish-nd3xj me too homie, but we just gotta keep going.
That's true - fighting it makes it worse - staying positive helps me
@@zachalkoury163 Staying positive helps everything 🙂
Anxiety and my panic disorder has been the scariest thing I've had to deal with!!
You're very brave for dealing with it! Have you considered possible nutritional causes of anxiety? Deficiencies of nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin B6, magnesium, chromium, selenium, zinc, and more can lead to anxiety.
I remember my first anxiety attack and not knowing what was happening. I was at work and suddenly couldn’t do my job and couldn’t breath...thank you for sharing!
Thank you for opening up about this! So good to know we are all human and it's totally normal to feel like this.
Its great to know ur not alone
Don’t believe everything you feel my friends. ❤️
You are the GOAT
Anxiety Guy!
Love you Dennis!
I’ve had anxiety for four years and I am a firm believer I’ll get better. We all can might take a while but it won’t be like this forever.
Carson Daly = Class Act!
Hi sir
Carson was the face of my childhood. I think alot of kids born in the early to late 90s could say that. He introduced me to all of my favorite musicians as a child. The fact that he goes through this the way I feel most of us do is heartbreaking and inspiring. Love you Carson!
Thank you for opening up about this, Carson! Our society needs to know understand more about mental health! I too struggle with generalized anxiety disorder. It's nice to hear about other people that struggle with mental health
Debilitating anxiety and panic is numbing. It’s insane to me how far we are from understanding it and dealing with it when almost everyone deals with it at some point in their lives.
Yes totally agree with you! It's absolutely crippling and the most horrific feelings ever.
I have it now. I cry almost every minute.
@@rochwilliams4626 do your best to get outside and allow your body to rest
@@moturn8614 I really need to rest. I'm at work can't even do anything because I'm so tired. I have not been sleeping properly for over a month now.
@@rochwilliams4626 how you doing now?
He said “ I’m having anxiety right now “ love the honesty!
I am struggling with this so much right now and am really glad I stumbled across this video. Thank you for pointing out the beautiful parts of this painful mental illness as well - things like empathy, sensitivity, kindness and compassion. This made me feel less afraid.
This was what I needed to hear I’m 29 and literally this explains how my life has been I have anxiety and mild panic attacks I’m sensitive and always worried about my life!!
Thank you for this. It feels so amazing to know that you’re not alone. Anxiety is debilitating. It gets easier when people open up and tell their story.
I have done CBT, medication, and self care, and my GAD is now something I embrace about myself.
B M I guess we will agree to disagree. I actually have not suffered trauma. I was born this way
They say you just have to ride it...like a wave. Because, if you don't just accept it..then that will cause more anxiety.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
Thanks to Carson for opening up about anxiety. I have suffered the same exact experiences he has throughout my life. It's tough but we must still embrace ourselves.
This really makes me respect Carson - he is so articulate about his feelings and seems more genuine and humble than ever. Kudos to you, my man!
Thanks for speaking out Carson! I have had anxiety all my life and it can be extremely difficult to deal with. 🙏🏻
Sometimes I think like my world is going to end. I'm worried this is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
Glad to see a man coming forth to talk about it. Prayers to my fellow sufferers. Peace and love and grace to you.
Carson!! Thank you so much for opening up....you have no idea how much it means
Thank you for talking about your anxiety disorder. I have generalized anxiety disorder. Sometimes i will have melt downs. You are bringing light to this issues. Thank you.
I can totally relate. Thank you Carson for sharing your personal story. You made a tremendous difference by doing so.
As a person with an anxiety disorder, this is very relieving towards me. Not just the fact it's relieving and inspiring to those who also having an anxiety disorder, but it's also amazing Carson decided to come out brave and strong and announce this.
Carson, I'm so proud of you. This was really groundbreaking. I have anxiety and panic attacks too. Thank you SO much for helping us move to end the stigma attached to this. God bless you!!!
Thank you so much for talking about this. I have anxiety and sounds just like me. I appreciate that you shares this. We are just people like others and are just dealing with some extra stuff. It is still so stigmatized but shouldn’t be. And, it should NOT be considered a weakness or that we are less intelligent.
I’m really glad Mr. Carson shared his experience. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a child and it’s good to see a professional and television role model sharing that he also deals with similar things. God bless you.
Thank you, Carson!
Ha man do you no Carson Daly if you do you tell him I am the guy on front cover of Linkin Park Meteora that he interviewed me left me on Skid Row if the band didn't like me how come they put me on front cover of Linkin Park Meteora and you interviewed me Carson Daly you and Linkin Park make fun of me so Carson Daly if you can make it right PS get in touch or I'll tell everybody what Linkin Park really done and you hit them I'm going to send that to USA Today so everybody can see it but Linkin Park we done left me on Skid Row
Thank you for sharing Carson. My friend has anxiety and panic disorder too. You are giving people hope!
THANKYOU so much for opening. I can’t imagine sharing such a big and personal part of your life a to the world.
Thank you for sharing your story. I can appreciate public figures talking about their humanity. Love Carson!
I so love he came out and talked about this I really can’t thank him enough for this. I am now a fan !!!

Pray without ceasing.
was in same situation...lots are in same boat...thank you for sharing...we need to share it and support each other.
Omg. I love him. He is sooo brave and courageous for putting it all out there.
Thank you so much! Have had anxiety for as long as I can remember.
I feel like hugging him. Thanks for sharing. ♡
I just started suffering with anxiety atleast 2 months ago. It’s crazy because I’m 20 and I’ve never felt or had these kinds of symptoms before. It takes control of my body and my everyday life. It’s scary and i always prayed to god will this ever stop. Just seeing some of these comments and this amazing story really lets me know that I’m not alone and we all will get through this! If anybody has tips, please feel free to let us know!
Thank you Carson, for sharing this. So brave of you to keep on coping, especially considering the high stress profession you have❤️
I wish I could meet Carson Daily. I was so diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is so inspiring hearing how transparent he is about his anxiety. I had it since I was six years old. I too lost my dad when I was six.
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story! It helps me feel that I’m normal and that anxiety doesn’t have to stop me at all.
Thank you for this. 😢 It’s nice to know I’m not alone.
Wow, his honesty and vulnerability is so brave. 💕
Thank you for the candid conversation. AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing the struggle many of us live with. You're wonderful!
Thank you Carson! I am so surprised to hear the "positive" side of anxiety as well, and not ignoring all of it. It does make me a better partner, I am very emotionally aware and present in a way that is helpful at times, but, can also be overwhelming in public situations. Ive never heard someone else talk about the "positive" side to anxiety. Thank you for sharing your story, take care
Omg! I have had this since I was in my 20's and now I'm 52, definitely got worse through out the years. I can relate Carson! Can't fix, just have to deal with it and find something to help you deal. Prayers 🙏 ❤❤❤
i love the way he frames this! so grateful!
Thank you Carson Daly ,for opening up about having anxiety and anxiety attacks .I think this cognitive therapy is great .When people see successful men saying I have this ,it helps the rest of us .Great interview .
I take lexapro for my anxiety and it's made my life so much better.
I am not alone..its a good feeling knowing I'm not alone in this anxiety thingy...
It's amazing he can do live tv with anxiety. Kudos
Omg it could literally be my story. I am still so driven and somewhat successful but I have to push myself through this anxious feeling every single day! Some days much worse than others. It has manifested in many scary ways. I also feel so sensitive and there are many beautiful flip sides to it. Wow. This really spoke to me, Carson!
We need more public conversations and to be more open about anxiety, it sucks hiding it and is a relief when people understand and know what your going through
Thank you very much for sharing this.
This made so happy and gave me so much hope. Thank you so much for sharing your story
Thank you for posting. Makes those of us with anxiety feel less alone, at least speaking for myself.
Thank you Carson for speaking out. My 6 year old suffers from anxiety. She was born with it. So happy to hear you are coping. xoxoxox
That's exactly how I am, I was born that way, I can remember when I had my first attack and I had no idea what it was. When I moved to Canada, it happened again and that's when I was diagnosed with anxiety and now it all made sense why I was feeling like this all my life. I have learnt to embrace it, I still get scared, I get nervous, I am always thinking something is going to happen, doom and gloom. I am on meds for it. Music is my best friend, it relaxes me and when I hear certain songs I get emotional. So I know I will be ok. It is something that I am living with and like I said I know I am gonna be ok. God bless you all who have this sickness.
This interview is very inspirational to me. I also have general anxiety disorder and have came to accept it to as part of who i am.
Me too
Glad that you found this video helpful. Have you thought about the possible nutritional causes for anxiety? They include: hormone imbalances, caffeine consumption, food sensitivities, and nutritional deficiencies (like with magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, serine, choline, copper, chromium, selenium, and zinc),
Thats the first step to learn to live with anxiety, you need to embrace it
Thank you for your openness Carson.
Definitely can relate. Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Ive been dealing with anxiety for about the last 5-6 years. I never knew what it was until i saw a doc.
Thank you for sharing Carson! We still love you!!
Thank you for having the courage to share your story brother
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for opening up and being vulnerable about your anxiety. You are not not alone. DBT also helps for anxiety. #not alone
I believe this video will actually help me. Thank you for this.
Hi Carson, I was diagnosed in my late 20’s with anxiety and depression. As most people panic attacks surprise me. I was teaching a martial arts class and thought I was having a heart attack. That was my first anxiety attack and of corse I at that time had never heard of panic attacks. I sought help and was put on medication and it was to much. Over the years I’ve been able to have the dose lowered to a tiny dose when needed. It was a social problem that nobody was talking about and I hid it from everyone. Now in my late 50’s everyone is talking about it which for me was liberating. Watching you talking about it on the Today show gave me courage to talk about it with my family so thank you for putting out the message that it’s ok to have that conversation. Warmest regards Dave
I understand this SO much!
Thanks for sharing in much better now 🙏🏻
Everything you said im with you. The disorder, and being a man, and feeling the way we do when it hits. Thanks man. Really...thank you
Thank you Carson for sharing your story. I have anxiety as well...I am learning to walk through the fear...or not for that moment in time. It has been with me since I was young I drank for courage. I now have 28 years sober and have learned techniques to first, not drink, one day at a time , and to prioritize what is important in my life. You touched my heart. God Bless You !!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing! I am better informed on how to improve communications with someone I love that is affected by this condition after watching your interview.
That is so me...thank you for sharing your story..i always feel i'm in trouble and hyper anxiety...
Proud of you Carson for opening up i struggle with anxiety it sure sucks but we will have our good days and lead a normal life we are never alone in this battle.
Carson , I’m so glad to see you talk about this . I’m a yoga teacher that healed myself from Crohn’s disease and other physical issues. Mindfulness through breathing and learning to be a “Technician “ to your computer with a soul . I have been in remission for about 15 years . I wonder if you ever had the chance to grieve your dad . I’m here to help if you need guidance 🙏🏼
Orly
Thank you for sharing . it's real. I been dealing with this 50 years
I’m crying I needed that today
Thank you Carson for sharing your struggles
I've always been a fan of this guy. He's a good man.
Thank you carson for being so openly honest about your Anxiety condition ....
Thank you for your vulnerability, Carson! I'm GAD to Be Alive, too!
Bravo Carson for talking about this! Thank you for sharing and shedding a light into mental health. If we have more conversations about it then maybe we have a chance to help understand it. If more people went to therapy there would be less crimes.
Blessings and peace to you Carson!
Thanks for sharing very important that men can open up & help other men start the conversations!
So beautiful you shared and amazing you didn't let it stop you
I am having anxiety relapse now after years. This video is inspiring.
Whoever did the sound mix for this should be fired music way too loud
