Truly understanding anxiety and panic disorders I believe is the most important thing to even get your recovery process started. Knowing how and why your body reacts the way it does makes the whole process of accepting anxiety for what it is even possible.
Most people who now have an anxiety disorder, especially health anxiety probably heard of the term fight or flight and knew roughly what it is when they had their first panic attack. But the emphasis lies on roughly… Many of us were never thought in school how the body will react to different stressors the exact same way. How the body and mind can feel completely burnt out and overwhelmed without us noticing it until it is too late. That’s exactly what happened to us during our very first panic attack. Stress has accumulated and broken a certain threshold which eventually lead to our fist panic attack. This attack probably was completely unexpected and together with the lack of knowledge many of us believed to have an heart attack, stroke, cancers, embolisms and so on. Eventually every panic attack subsides but what we are left with is the worry about what just happened to us and this worry we carry around us 24/7. As worries are nothing else but stress they alone will trigger further anxiety attacks which further confirm our initital worry of a terminal illness and round and round the cycle goes…

@Mike Justice did you recover?
I think I’ve come out the other side of chronic health anxiety. It took nearly 7 years. The nice calm feeling I have now is so nice.
Im glad for you , how did you do it 😄
@@hereshoping6992 Just keep doing the things you want to do and stop listening to the chatter in my head!
@@KRAZEEIZATION trying to control the chatter you mean 😆😆
😍😍😍 happy for u..
How
I should literally watch this every morning to remind myself of these truths. Sir. You are a blessing to humanity. Thank you.
I am glad that I could help and thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏
This is the perfect explanation video as to why these things happen.
🙌 thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. Glad you liked it
Your videos are awesome and are helping people like me understand what is going on internally. I am still experiencing many symptoms, but they seem to be shifting. Hopefully that means I’m on the road to recovery. Numbness, tingling, shakes and twitching, ear fullness, blurry vision, muscle weakness, and now IBS. Slowly getting better, but has and continues to be one hell of a fight.
Thanks for your kind words 💪!
I am sorry you are dealing with this and all the symptoms youve just listed i had too. So you are definitely not alone with this.
Workout and do everything you can to release tension and you will see that also mentally you will get stronger. Let me know of there is anything i can do for you!
I am feeling same everytime and it is with me all the time plzzzz tell me are you fine now and how long did you suffer from this this is hell for me
You have a great channel, the explanations, the animations and the voice is pleasant and calming. Thank you you've helped me through multiple panic attacks.
I'm so glad I found your videos. I didn't know what is / was going on with me. I've been from doctor to doctor and all say I'm healthy. Your videos explained it Perfectly. I thought no one understood the heart racing, thinking I'm going to loose my mind, dizziness, numbness, tingling symptoms . I will try the exercises you mentioned. I usually just lie down and pray them away as soon as the symptoms arise. Soooo glad I found your videos. THANK YOU !!!
Great video. I have struggled for almost 4 years with anxiety and panic disorder. It all started with vertigo which caused me to have a panic attack. I really thought I was dying and rushed to the ER. I then became so afraid of having another one that I brought it on. It is a struggle that no one can understand unless they have had it. Thank you.
Thanks🙏🙌! I agree unless you are going through or have been through the same you will never understand. Its been hard to find so many people absolutely clueless and not understanding of my situation during the years.
I too had severe panic attacks multiple times a day and had many instances that got so bad i or someone around me had to call the ambulance.
Thanks again for your kind words and if you have any questions, need advice or tips just get back to me. I am here to help 🙏🙌
@@ImprovementPath Thank you for replying. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. For those of us still suffering, it makes a world of difference to be able to listen to someone who understands and has been through the same thing.
Is anxiety what caused vertigo?
@@yosefsbehat3013 I think it started at all. I rushed to the ER thinking I was having a stroke or dying. They prescribed 60mg prednisone once daily and wow that really did cause me to freak out. 3 days later my heart was beating out of my chest and I was having panic attacks over and over all day long. It took 4 years to get better. I went to the ER 10 times that first year. I wouldn’t wish anxiety on anyone. It is hell on earth. But if I can recover anyone can!
Since my first panic attack, my vision always become blurry when reading text on computer, but fine when playing games. Really annoying.
I had the same thing. I would be "calmly" reading a book and out of nowhere i couldnt really read the words anymore.
Perhaps playing videos games you are completely in the game? Whereas reading isnt as easy to be super engaged in and isnt as distracting? I know that in my anxoety days i would try to read but my mind would wander off to negative thoughts a lot
Same it would only happen when I was reading stuff on my phone.
i love your videos! i still struggle with the "head pressure" and tension headaches, which the internet says are the same thing.
The worst part is when i consciously acknowledge that the pressure is gone, it'll come back immediately. Its the worst.
Oh yes thats something i hated as well. I always had this numb feeling in my fingers and when it wasnt there i of course was super psyched. BUT i would constantly check back in again and concentrate even harder on the fingers and then tada i had the numbness again. The worst...
For me i believe that for one to truly recover you have to lose the fear of the sensation. Not caring if it is there or not is the state you need to achieve. Once fear is lost that inner tension about the synptom will disappear and so will the symptom itself!
Stay strong 🙏💪
@@ImprovementPath Hey bro. Love all ur videos. Ever had like pressure type on your forehead like a blinking or short of palpitation...geez then ur energy goes all down and dizzy a bit. ??? I had to leave and get some air but it followed me.
Monday worked out my chest and upper straps and shoulders. . Tuesday had a fight with my GF...and wednesday I feel the weird sensations with the head and ugh. I know has to be combo but for some reason...I wanted to to checked out but then I remember u and ur videos and now I dont feel all drained. Still feel woozy a bit but ima head to the gym.
I still struggle with head pressure too. Specifically on the forehead. It's been three months now and i think it's always there but i couldn't notice it when im busy and happy. It's not painful though but it's very uncomfortable and very tight. I have a very bad health anxiety and this head pressure is the latest illness i have focused on after the heart attack era. Sometimes it's very intense and sometimes it is bearable it depends on my mood. I have a bad days and good days with this head pressure.

@@anksayiti it took me 4 years to overcome it, but i still deal with it from time to time. it gets better. trust me
*By embracing it and taking action* 🙏
💪 see it as a challenge from which you will come out stronger. Work on your recovery every day because it has a negative influence on everything in your life --> it has to be priority! 👊
Thank you, well said. Spot on. I will try these methods. I pray this gets better.
You can do this 💪
Im vegetarian and back on a keto diet, and right as I got into Ketosis, my severe anxiety symptoms disappeared.. im so grateful.
What about numbness . I have been suffering from it , starting from my hands , legs and now to whole body . Brain cant get focus on anything . Help help help help help help help
You have saved my life today! thankyou. A true superhero
how are u now?
Recently looked into back pain and found some videos between stress and muscle contraction (flight or freeze) -- something to do with gamma motor neurons, cells... which then leads to trigger pain points, very interesting. Any videos on the link between chronic pains, healing and depression/anxiety?
Hey sebastian, never heard of the gamma motor neurons but its definitely something i would watch to get some more ideas about this. Any links to the videos you watched?
Btw i think Kati Morton has some great videos about everything mental health related and she has some great info on chronic pains and its link to depression and anxiety.
@@ImprovementPath This video! I'll check out Kati Morton!
Right on time 👌👌👌
😎
You give me hope every time lol this is all spot on. Thank you again 😆
:) Just knowing that these videos help people understand what is going on and potentially accelerate their recovery process is so motivating! Thanks for letting me know man!
Wonderful work, and great information! Thank you for taking the time to create and share this!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏😎 love making these videos and helping others. will continue to do so in the future.
It's all manageable but for me it's the breathing problems that makes me loose control over the situation.
It’s hard sometimes keeping the situation under control.
@@zayyy4226 yea..
Thank you So much for these videos they help so much.
Good morning Mr. Improvement Path,
Funny enough, I've also started my anxiety journey in Hong Kong. Blue line MTR, density population in Causeway and Mong Kok. It all started about 6 years ago. Panic attacks with clostrophobia, agoraphobia, you know the drill. Then I moved back to Switzerland, I was tackling ways to overcome anxious situations / panic attacks, but never tried to restructure my mind to fully recover. 3 months ago, I had a major setback. After accomplishing an exchange semester in Shanghai, I've had a pretty bad acupuncture experience. Different senstations than usual, different symptoms, very strong and irrational thoughts. That is when I started having health anxiety. I will not go into too much details as they are not that important.
I really wanted to take the time to thank you. These videos are unexplainably the best cure for people who are suffering from anxiety. Doctors give us relief, our entourage are there to support us, but people who have gone through the same thing are on a whole other lever. Hearing your stories, your path, your recovery, everything make senses now. Even though I've been feeling better, encountered some step back, I know that I still have a long way to go. My muscle tension is horrible (every tense part of my shoulders all the way up to my neck crack one by one), all my articulations are very sour, and I still feel some symptoms day in and day out.
However, the approach I have is completely different now. It is not about crawling into a ball and think I have cancer, tumors, depression, craziness, dissociation, and the list goes on. It is about knowing exactly how my mind functions, knowing it is normal for it to react this way, and slowly challenge myself in certain uncomfortable areas to restructure my way of seeing things.
Anxiety has cost me a lot, from time, to energy, to failing university classes, ending relationships. However, the knowledge that I am gaining from this experience is irreplaceable. If every externalities from this experience have led me to where I am n ow, I'm going to take it and continue pursuing my goals: Be more aware of the beauty of life, don't be the same person as before, be a better and more accomplished version of myself.
Take care my friend,
Alec KZ

Thank you 🙌 knowing that there are people enjoying and learning from these videos is awesome!
I don’t know if you’ve done one yet, but one on fear would be awesome!
You mean the feeling of fear in general?
Excited!
All your video is very helpful.. keep ip the good work!🙏

What does head pressure feels like? My symptoms feels like im dizzy but inside, like swaying motion inside plus tight temples and eyes
@@forzaferrari9709 might be a dag on migraine. I get this when under heavy stress/pressure
@@computerfastrepair i see, how are you now?
@@forzaferrari9709 great. Feels like when im in a state of bliss or distracted the shyt leaves me man..like once u accept the fear of the symtom...its done. It will try like hell to get u more and make pain worse but it no longer has a grip on u therefore it dissappears and looks for the next symtom to catch ur attention
@@computerfastrepair i like the part you mentioned accepting the symptoms. I think acceptance is the key and lesrn to live with it and let go by itself. Thank you so much.
Thank you this helped me a lot
Is anyone constantly conscious of their breathing
how u feeling bud.
me its awful i feel if i dont focus on it ill stop breathing but i know that probably cant happen its just a mental thing
Having anxiety attacks for 2 straight weeks. Im calm now. But a little fatigued with pressure above and around my ears. Im trying not to overthink and have another attack. Its difficult.
What about brain foggyness ... thats what im dealing with now , even when im not anxious my head just feels light 😣 i thinks because i been dealing with anxiety for a while. can it just be tired mind?
Ahhhr thats something i had to deal with almost every day. Yes i think that brain fogginess is something that we who have dealt with anxiety for quite a while experience. It has to be the fatigue and exhaustion. Anxiety is such a huge drain on your body and especially your mind...
What does brain fogginess feels like? My symptoms are feels like im dizzy but inside, like swaying motion inside plus tight temples and eyes
Thanks brother. U rock! By the way panic is just a fear that go out of control!
Agree. We panic when we feel overwhelmed from our anxiety caused by something that is perceived as dangerous and unsolvable.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Wish you all thr best man. Stay strong 💪
Theres nothing wrong around me but in my mind i just think of dying and diseases and coffins and lost love ones , pictures around my house , triggered automatically repress thoughts makes it worse , so difficult to stay sober
3:46 my friend know this shit😂
Its oke darling brain nothing to be afraid of 1min later...
Wtf is this... true it makes it even worse
Also amazing videos love them .
Thanks so much!! 🙏💪🔥
The fear of of fear?
Will do that one fore sure. Will make sure to notify you when its being uploaded. :) ive got a few other requests but will do that video for sure 💪
My anxiety is gone but now I’m just struggling to breathe and i have scary thought
Hey man, for me the shortness of breath was one of the last things that went away. It wasnt hyperventilation but for some reason i always had the feeling that i forgot how to properly breath. If you are having scary thoughts that probably means that you still need to work on getting your stress lowered. Try practicing the things here in this video. Do these exercises every day and i truly believe you will see significant changes in no time 🙏
Thanks man you are awesome
@@ImprovementPath u recovered?
My problem on my anxiety now is that i Always feel that I'm going to fall down if I'm standing up ,my legs feel so weak and i feel jumpy when I'm walking .
I believe those are very common anxiety symptoms and sensations.
Do your leg sometimes is tingling when you're lying down?
@@wiwka1650 always fam even now .. haha
@@stanleymessiless9717 same I cant sleep :(
@@wiwka1650 just be strong man because yesterday i couldn't sleep but if is disturbing me i Always go out from bed and move around.
Hi. Does muscle tension cause the dizziness/lightheaded/off balance feelings? I've been feeling this for the last 6-7 weeks, some days better than others and other days constant. Its very nerve wrecking and can cause me to be more anxious and start thinking i have a brain tumor/brain cancer or neurological disorder like MS (health anxiety). How do you get over that feeling and try to move past it for recovery? Did you have to take anxiety medication during your recovery? My doctor prescribed me Lexapro but I'm resistant to taking it due to fear of side effects (again a lot of health anxiety behind it). What are your thoughts?
Hey do u still have it
@@jagjeet9046Hi. Yes off and on. I feel it more when I get stressed or anxious.
@@jbell6404 do u feel like u are floating.. Swaying
@@jagjeet9046 yes at time...like on a boat.
Damn brother we got the same problem, ive had this for 2 yrs now. Now my symptoms got worst i feel tightness on my temples and eyes. Ive had a general heart check up already and there's nothing wrong about it brain aneurysm or brain tumor is what makes me worried. Everytime i check google i always have panic attacks then it shortens my breath its a fucking cycle im sick of this and I know you're sick of this too. Praying that we get all our lives back again.
The dizziness is more of a swaying motion or walking on a boat. The best thing to describe it is after you run on a threadmill for 30minutes non stop and suddenly stopping it after that it feels like you're walkin on a boat.
Pls respond if you read this. I wanna keep in touch with you brother on how are you doin now
P.s sorry for my english, it's not my 1st language
Was not accurate to how it happens to me I guess we are all different.
sir your physical symptoms gone or not ?
I dont have anxiety symptoms anymore. I do get pretty tensed from time to time especially when it gets very stressful around me but i know how to cobsciously release that tension and have many other coping mechanisms that work great for me.
Improvement Path I have many symptoms but I have frequent urination please for the love of god tell what helped with that please
