Are you struggling to recover from anxiety and panic? You might be making a VERY common mistake that is hindering your progress. In this video, we'll explore the top mistake people make during their health anxiety recovery journey and what you can do instead.
First off, one mistake is dwelling on the past. While it's important to acknowledge what happened, constantly reliving the event can prevent you from moving forward.
Instead, focus on the present and acknowledge that this is where you are now and you have to work with what you have got now.
Another mistake is trying to rush the recovery process. Recovery takes time, and trying to speed it up can actually slow it down and actually bring it to a complete halt in the long term. Give yourself the time you need and don't compare your progress to others.
It's also common to isolate yourself during recovery, but this can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. Instead, reach out to friends and loved ones for support.
On the other hand, some people rely too heavily on others for their anxiety relief. While having a support system is important, you also need to take responsibility for your own progress.
Probably the most common mistake is trying to control everything. Recovery often involves uncertainty and it's in our nature to try to mitigate that uncertainty. We strive for it and in the process we tweak our lives to get that sense of security. What can feel like help at first will often lead one down the rabbit hole, actually increasing anxiety and the sense of powerlessness. It is important to learn to accept what you can't control and focus on what you can.
Learn from what others went through - Get inspired - learn that your anxiety symptoms aren’t as unique as you might think and that anxiety, stress and panic can really create the scariest physical symptoms imaginable!
Once you can trust and believe that what you are experiencing mentally and physically is anxiety, that is when you will learn to accept it and lose the fear from it.
Over time it will vanish all together.
By avoiding these common anxiety mistakes and focusing on self-care, self-responsibility, and positive thinking, you can overcome setbacks and thrive in your recovery journey.

Glad to have you back!
Thanks to you, I have recovered from anxiety!
Hello! Could you share, how did you do it, what helped you? Thank you in advance!
How r u right now?
Recovered completely?
That is so amazing to hear! I hope you will share your story soon :)
@@petyabor5223 Sure, I have been struggling with anxiety for such a long time and it took me a year to recover from anxiety. I haven’t fully recovered from anxiety but it has gotten much better.
Here are things that helped me:
#1 *Focus On Other Things*
Focus on other things and your goals and stop thinking about anxiety all the time. The truth is to stop watching anxiety content all the time because if you think about anxiety all the time, you will feel anxious. If you accept that its anxiety and focus on other things, I bet you will recover 80% from anxiety.
#2 *sit with uncomfortable sensation*
Just think about it, all the anxiety symptoms your having, did you die from it? No, so just sit with those uncomfortable feelings and sypmtoms and focus on other things.
#3 *Distractions*
Distract yourself by doing things like sports, video games , watching movies , studying and more.
Anything that keeps your mind away from anxious feelings.
*Summary:*
Don’t think about anxiety all the time and focus on other things.
@@ravishekkumar6703 I am feeling great. I haven’t recovered fully but its much better and it doesn’t ruin my days.
So happy to see you posting again, I have recovery from my anxiety disorder that started a couple of years ago. It was your videos that played a massive role in that recovery. Thank you so much for what you do.
Hello! Could you share a bit, how you did it? Thank you in advance!
How r u right now?
Recovered completely?
@@ravishekkumar6703 hi how r u..
I love to hear that ❤!!! Proud of you man!
@@ravishekkumar6703 yea completely recovered for over 10 months now.
Thank you , I am stuck with the idea of stress causing serious diseases. I heard a video of a doctor talking about it, and this idea caused me more stress
Your videos helped me so much !! I was flat out defeated last year. Mental hospital, Temporary episodes of psychosis etc. Thanks to your videos & Trey Jones, I'm ok now. 🔥
So happy to hear that and love @TreyJones
Can’t tell you how much your videos mean man. You really are making a difference to a lot of peoples lives. All the best!
So happy to hear that man!
I hate to say, but all of what you said, was me also. Visiting a new city, or even looking to move to a new city and only looking at properties near a hospital.. in my mid 20s.. with nothing actually physically wrong with me. It was, and continues to be, horrendous.
I’ve been suffering like you did for over 20 years now. I’ve been just as bad or worse than you’ve been consistently. But one of your older videos has really helped me so far and I’m incredibly grateful. Even if I was to relapse, I’m so happy I’ve had the last 3 days of feeling pretty damned good. So thank you. More than I can say. Thank you
Wow! THank you so much for letting me know that my videos did help. I do hope you get on the path to recovery and get a sense of freedom from anxiety
If you chase "feeling good" as recovery, you're gonna be stuck forever
oh, i thought i am the only one to be aftaid of standing up from the bed and getting dizzy which is a sign of a brain bleeding in my mind😢 Thank you for sharing your story - it gives me hope🙏
happy to hear that I could help :)
its been since 2007 i was suffering from these symptoms nd panic attacks...now i am fully recovered on my own with the grace of God
@Yash Mishra how did you do it? Also did you had depression/ tiredness will recovering?
@@melissaquintero7201yes,IT s normal
Thank you for making these videos. I hope they will help as much people as possible. I am sorry that you had to go through that for 5 years. We are not alone. 🤝
You are so welcome and yes, DEFINITELY NOT alone in this!
Thank you for the videos that you make, I’ve had this only since September but I’m on my way to recovery, I’ve felt a lot less anxious the last couple of weeks dispite having constant headaches and all over twitching but the doctor I saw a few weeks ago thinks it’s anxiety, great to see a new video from you
Hapoy to hear that you are doing better :)
I wanted to tell you, you have helped me more then you can imagine. I'm back from the depths. I listened to all your videos multiple times. I thank you so much!
You are so welcome and thank you so much for letting me know that I can really help with these videos!!
I have been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for 18 years. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Your videos have given me courage. I have been checked by so many doctors and yet still suffer. I am finally getting a bit better. Maybe it's age or maybe I am finally starting to accept this is anxiety and I can just let it be and move on with life. Thank you. I know from the comments that you get a great deal of love but I want to throw on more. Thank you.
Thanks for shaing the love :) happy to hear that I could help with the videos. 🙂
I check in from time to time to see if you’ve posted new content! Great to see you’re back! I’m glad I started suffering from anxiety in 2014 because even though it was hard at times and debilitating, I’ve met some amazing people and anxiety coaches. It was worth it for that alone!!!
Hey man, thank you so much for tuning in and leaving a comment. I will always remember you as the kind guy reaching out over LinkedIn and thanking me haha!
I appreciate you so much.💙
You are so welcome
Everything you said in this video it is what i am doing and feeling
Burning mouth has ruined me :( Two years hundreds if tests still si much pain. Pulling my teeth even. I cant live with everything thats happened.
Thank you so much! Great to hear that anxiety can be delt with. I have battled extreme anxiety off and on this past year. I wake up in the morning feeling anxiety. I was placed on meds but my anxiety became worse. I am on blood pressure medication because of fear of high blood pressure. My anxiety has caused readings as high as 160/90! So I am obsessed with taking my blood pressure daily so that triggers my fear because I get anxious while taking it at home. Now I have made a decision to stop! That is making my anxiety worse because I’m always afraid it is high!! This is madness!! But I am taking this one day at a time.
Dr Abraham Low: Recovery method!
That all sounds so similar to what I experienced the last 7 months. I am glad to see people recover.
May God bless you brother as you helped me in many ways with these videos for last 7 years and recently assuming I've had high blood pressure when anxiety was causing some erratic readings. Stay safe and well . 🙏
Thanks bro!!! All the best to you :) Catch up soon man
Omggg I'm so happy to see you post again, thank you for your amazing channel, wish you all the best ❤️✨🙏🏻
Thank you so much!! All the best to you my friend!!
WELCOME BACK. It was a lovely surprise seeing that you have posted a new video! Your videos mean as much to me than any other thing in my life as of present, and i'm sure many others too. Your videos have planted the seed for recovery to begin in my life and has started to give me the belief that it's possible, Because for many years I didn't believe it was possible. Thank you
Wow, thank you so much for your comment! This motivates me to keep going! YES RECOVERY FROM THIS IS POSSIBLE!
glad to hear you ok
:) thanks for checking in my friend!
This is me to the T!!! I am feeling fine until I fall into one of these crutches again and I am back to square one.
I have been checked a million times and always told I am fine, my heart is fine. I need to stop falling back into these "crutches"
Glad to have you back..keep posting Videos...
Thanks, I will do my best :)!
Thank you for uploading again another video, i just discovered your channel lately. This is a big help on my healing journey.
Thank you for letting me know man!
Yay!!!! He’s back I love ❤️ this channel!! Welcome back, he is truly the undisputed king 👑 of Anxiety!
hahahaha thank you so much. I feel honored :)))
So grateful to see you post again! You've been a huge part of my SUCCESSESFUL RECOVERY 🙌🙌🙌
Wow, thank you for letting me know!!!
soooo sooo sooo soooo happy too see your viedooo againn.....u r that one person whoo helped me too come out of thee 7 years of anixety
I am so so happy to hear that
Your videos have been part of my recovery journey. Thank you!
Hi sir, i have anxiety almost everytime everyday, shortness of breath was the scariest for me and it happens to me almost everyday every hour, but after seeing your videos i can slightly understand how it works for recovery.
So glad that I could do my part :)
I'm still unsure if I have anxiety or not. I don't generally feel stressed or anxious, however I did do things like constant Google searches about my health and other things bothering me. My body would start feeling strange and I would get some of the symptoms listed in other videos. Better to be cautious and take the advice from these videos so I meditate workout a lot journal and all the things recommend for recovery. There all good things to do in general anyways. Anyways if I have it or not I still enjoy watching these videos as they are very calming. You are doing an amazing service. Cheers
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, it is always a good idea to pick uo good habits. Havibg these in place will also make it more unlikely that you ever end up experiencing anxiety and panic.
Thank you bro. I've been to over 30 ECGs even had an MRI of my chest and stomach and everything was fine but I still worry sick.
I have my doubts and think they're missing something. I started going to the gym again and I work a full time job, im a blood donor. I wouldn't be capable of doing that if I was sick or was about to die, you know bla bla bla. 7 years of suffering and im now able to sleep alone in my apartment again.
I suffer from iatrophobia, something just recently discovered. Working on trying to get over this so I can start step one of my anxiety recovery.
Great but how do you progress when anxiety is keeping you from sleeping and you can’t function on no sleep ?
I am happy to discover your videos. I am learning alot how to manage my anxiety. Thank you!!
Hi there. Sounds like you had a type of anxiety known as hypochondria. I wonder if you know how, why and when it started. I suffered from that too but it's only one aspect of my anxiety since I also have social anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD/cPTSD. Good luck to all of us 💙
Yeah, same here! The biggest part was health anxiety followed by panic attacks and gerneral anxiety and down the road to agoraphobia... it progressively got worse because I let it consume my thoughts and made it limit my life.
@@ImprovementPath happy for you man , ppl don't understand how debilitating this can be. I am not sure if anxiety is worse when it starts during your childhood. Mine did and overtook my life, with absolutely no awareness or support on the part of my parents. Have you discussed in details your recovery process and methods used? I am looking forward to dive deeper in the content of your channel and glad you're posting again .
@@marwansal4175literally his whole channel is the methods and process on how to do it .
Wow i really wanted an update from you! Glad to see you posting again! And thanks for helping me with my recovery
More than happy that I can do my part and help others overcome this!!!
Finally!!!! ❤ So happy to see you back!
Very happy to be here :)
Welcome back 😮
Whhooop whoop happy to be here!
Thank you for all your time and love you put in to your video's. You my friend are a great human being.
I try my best :) Thank you so much for letting me know that I can really help!
If you enjoy the videos you will love the new Book ➡ bit.ly/491vxZl ⬅ Equip yourself with all the knowledge you need to get to full anxiety recovery! 🏁
Hi ,saw your recovery journey,when you said you felt depress before totally feel good
What kinda of depression you had?or what feeling if I may say?
I feel recovered from health anxiety now it’s more about irrational thoughts that give me anxity/depression
Thank you and nice seeing you posting again
@Jb what video was that? Cause I feel the same.
Your videos helped me a lot, i am in the second phase of recovery i think.. i did an mri i did everything and everything was good now my mind starts inventing new diagnoses (such as some serious mental health illness that cannot be diagnosed with ecg or mri) and the fear of losing my sanity is my new trigger for panic attacks, i am learning how to cope with these intrusive thoughts u give me hope it will get better
KNOWING that anxiety can be the cause of the scariest symptoms is the most important step imo. Just because they feel so REAL (like the actual thing you worry about) does not mean it cannot be anxiety. At some point you need to take that leap of faith and accept that you have gotten everything checked out already and that there is nothing more you can do. Once you get to that stage, anxiety acceptance kind of becomes a thing and you will feel how slowly you can kind of live with it, you loose your fear from anxiety and then it disappears gradually.
Long time man! So glad u r posting again ✌🏼
So happy you’re back!
:)))) thank you! Happy to be here again
I can relate , I’m only now realising most of my symptoms are caused by anxiety and stress , , thank you for explaining,, I recently started a breathing exercise called wim hof method ,,and it was a game changer to release the tension I had constantly built up in my body ,,, stress and anxiety feeds on itself and snowballs , the effects on the body are crazy, that pinching feeling you mentioned , chest pains , back and forward to doctors , had all that and I was so worried ,,
YESSS!! Understanding anxiety and realizing how powerful it can be in creating the scariest symptoms and how real they can feel is a major step towards accepting anxiety and then eventually recovering.
Did you have chest pain daily if so how did you get rid of it im struggling as well 😢
Amazing channel best content ever❤
Thank you so much!!!!!
Glad you back, I still need you!,
:) I am happy that I can help!
Hey girl
How u doing these days I still have symptoms going on
So happy to see you again😊
😊 :) thank you
Wow
...you are back,....hope you are fine? Your videos help me alot , thank you
Heyyyy, yes I am doing quite good actually. I was just so busy from work and my growing family that I genuinely didnt find the time to get video out. BUT I am back and hope to stay :)
Everything you’re talking about now I’m facing right now and it’s scary no lie
Yeah man - you are not alone with this and I can really just double confirm that this is no life sentence and a FULL recovery is possible!!!
Long time no upload bro im glad ur back.
Happy to be here man!
I've been struggling with anxiety for almost 3 weeks now, after my second panic attack that lasted for an hour and already managed to be scared of having rabies, terminal bowel disease, terminal brain disease and terminal pancreatic disease. Sometimes when my health anxiety goes away I'm worried about my future and my career. There are times when I don't have a specific reason but I'm still worried or depressed. Right now I'm having very strange headaches like very thin needle is being pushed against my head in various locations, also I have feelings of a pressure in my head or sides of my head, I'm constantly derealised which makes things absolutely worse. When I watch these videos people say that they are having panic attacks constantly and that's not the issue in my case which makes me more scared. I had one big panic attack 3 weeks ago and 3 or 4 smaller ones after that which ended in like seconds. I don't even know at this point whether they were panic attacks or something else I was sitting minding my business and suddenly I felt this heat inside my body that went away in seconds and it kept repeating many times, my heart was pounding really fast and hard, my legs got so week I was thinking I would fall and I was trembling extremally bad, I couldn't breathe and I thought I would pass out. There are days when I feel really great and don't care about anything but lasts only for hours and the next days always start with anxiety. I have no joy in my life anymore. I can't enjoy the things I used to and even became colder to my loved ones. I really hope it's just anxiety symptoms and not something serious. I'm scared to do MRI or even bloodwork since it came a bit changed the last time I did it even though the doctor told me that there's nothing serious, I probably had some kind of virus without symptoms. Please tell me if any of you can relate to some of my symptoms
Your not alone
@@LauraC.792 I've started taking meds and they are helping a lot
Same you are not alone my brother
I'm laughing because its so relatable
super, dass du wieder da bist :) hatte dir mal ne email geschrieben, aber leider nie eine antwort bekommen :(
welcome back
hehehe thanks!!!
💕💕thankuuu forr yourr viedoo...u r the best...
Thannnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkss
And i spend so much $$$ on natural herbs vitamins etc etc. I would pop 5-6 300mg of Ashwaghanda daily. Costing me $220 month. Just to stay calm. RIDICULOUS
Did you ever have internal vibrations? Ever tremors you could see? Thank you so very much for everything you do for us!
Yes, ALL THE TIME!!! My body was vibrating and thumping - I could feel and see these vibrations in my stomach. Especially when lying down my belly would just thump up and down visibly.
Yes I get those internal vibrations too. It's weird. I know it's an anxiety symptom and just let it go but it's a strange feeling.
I think i finally know the root cause of my anxiety. What do i do now? People always talk bout finding the root cause but what now? Exposure to that root cause?
Get a curator pr so and begin CBT in person with them to guide you.
Hey, thanks for all your videos.
I have an anxiety disorder for 3 years and completely took over my life. Now I don’t get panic attacks everyday, but used to have them everyday. Now I’m dealing with constant extreme fatique. If I go for a walk I feel even worse after. My ‘battery’ is completely empty. How do I slowly take steps to feel a bit more energy, I think if I feel more physically fit that mind follows more. (I sleep good etc) hopefully I get an answer, I’m completely stuck!
Hey Mick, I have BEEN THERE! I too had this phase of being completely drained of all energy - it was unimaginable - I dont know if you saw that video of the recovery steps but this phase was actually one of the last steps from the point where I started to fully recover. It was a sign of my body recovering. I of course cannot tell for sure that the same applies to you but for me this tiredness was followed by recovery!
@@ImprovementPath thank you so much for responding. Do you recommend still going for daily walks etc even if you feel worse after and slowly build? I see some say excercice etc and lift weights but my battery is 0.00001%. Even standing up gives my unconfort. Any advice on how to slowly build the energy up? I would love to excercice 6 times a week if that helped but I’m worried it will only get worse then..
My nerves system is completely out of bakens, and the chronic fatique hits hard… wondering what to do:(. I’m motivated but I just feel stuck
@@mick7260 same here brother..
I am feeling high mental fatigue, depressed,lost interest in every thing even in recovery, inner panic, can't focus on anything, completely stucked..
@@ImprovementPath hello what video is that?
I can relate in full man
I think that is a very important first step. KNOW that anxiety can create the scariest symptoms and just because they feel so REAL (like the actual thing you worry about) does not mean it cannot be anxiety. At some point you will have to take that leap of faith man.
hello Thank you for adding video all of your contents are very helpful. i come across your channel. to better understand what's happening to me. and how to deal with it and recover. im suffering from health anxiety for 3 months now. your strategy and tips are very helpful. i just have this left arm numbness and upper back pain. that will not go away. and why symptoms is on the left side? any tips? or anyone experiencing this?
Hey Noj, I too had most of my symptoms only on the left side - you know - I think it is because it often is the left side that we perceive as the "danger zone" most things related to the heart is the left side... so we natrually focus on that side more and also we might tense that side more. So what actually is something that affects both sides now seems like a one side thing.
@@ImprovementPath thank you for response appreciate it
It’s always mid twenties 😢
You back
I am :) good to see you here
I can handle any triggers EXCEPT THE SUDDEN LIGHT HEADED FEELING COMBINED WITH DIGESTION ISSUES. those 2 together are horrid.
Bro want to talk with you
I love these vids and sharing them into the anxiety groups on Facebook
It’s so sounds like my life. About a month ago made my dr give me a referral for a CT calcium score scan of course came back perfect zero calcium it helped for about a month now today I googled can I have a clogged artery that it couldn’t see and of course it says it is possible to have a clogged artery from something else other then calcium
Now freaked out again 😞🤪
Now wanting a another test
It’s ridiculous my stuff has been going since 1995 and seems to always come back worse always effecting mainly my left side
And just like u I didn’t wanna get up at night for me cause that’s when most people have a heart issue is middle of the night so I fight to not get up to pee
Like right now writing this. My big toe throbs with pain on top and left leg to me feels like lack of circulation
Last time it was bad about 6 years ago I made the dr.s scan my legs for clogged arteries nothing all clear then thought they missed it so had another place do it again
It’s a horrible circle and recently my dr said I need Zoloft well I did try it for about 5 days made some symptoms better but so dizzy and loopy I hated it then googled the side effects of it so freaked out and quit it 😂 it’s almost funny except it freaks me out feeling like a stroke or heart issue
Anyways thank you for the vids I’m gonna watch more of them
First, thank you so much for sharing the videos in the groups. That really helps so much! 2nd, you sound EXACTLY like me and what I have been through :D Every single word you just used could have come from me haha Remeber that the next time your head keeps wanting to push you to seek out external reassurance again... It will never be enough and it will never stop
😮omg exactly bro 😅
how r u now
Omg help!! I can’t stop googling symptoms because new ones keep popping up😢. I don’t panic anymore about heart palpitations but the head rushes scare me so much and I can’t stop googling for solutions
Don't do this please, because this cycle never stops. Just go to Cardiologist and have ecg and Echo done , just for assurance that nothing is wrong with your heart. Once cardiologist verify that you are allright, Then no need to google again and again, because this only increases anxiety levels and frequency of panic attacks. I am suffering with anxiety from more than 2 years and at the start I was going to emergency when I get a panic or anxiety attack. Drs almost did 20 ecgs and ECHO , and all were normal. Then I finally stopped googleing and now I m feeling better.
Hey Tristan!
👍😍
question: do u get a feeling like ur breathing but not getting enough air even when u dont feel anxious or have a slight chest ache bc i feel like it might be serious bc i only seen the doctor once and im nervous incase he might had the diagnosis wrong. Pls help me know if its anxiety
Go see 3-4 doctors
I don't have no bodily symptoms no more but i still have depersonalition and derealization 24/7
What kind of bodily sensation did u had
@@ashanakhan5214 chest pains hot and cold feet fatigue backpain migraines burning sensation and more
@@bezelrockie8030 how long u have anxiety for
Why is my left side chest pain during sleep and suddenly i wake up
Just relax
"Being through the worst and it's anxiety " i could go some days or even weeks feeling great and anxiety will show up as a new symptom and the circle goes on and on, symptoms change constantly and you wonder if its just anxiety
That happebed to me all the time as well. I believe it is a normal part of the journey and we just have to learn that these setback dont bring us all the way back to square 1
Hello, where have you been?
Oh man - tbh - I started a business a while ago and it kind of took off and I poured my heart and soul into it but I realized that it consumed all of my time. So now I took some time off for 1-2 weeks and can concentrate on videos :)
When they needed him to most he vanished
A 100 years later my brother sokka and I
Are to find the avatar
Did you have depersonalisation and derealization?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back... Your video this time is exceedingly difficult to follow.
Hey! How are you doing? 😊
Thank you :) Hope you are as well!
@@ImprovementPath yes. All I can say is I am not bothered of my anxiety any more and I mean it. A fair share of credit belongs to you, always in my blessing. Much love💕
Is astrology a crutch?
Everything could be a crutch but I am not sure how you are using astrology in this context :)
