What do you want to hear when you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed?
That I'm not going to die
That somebody else will take care of whatever I'm anxious about.
Some motivational words and emotional support 💝
"Thank you for ..." "I appreciate/think it's great how you ..." "I think/feel like you're really good at ..." "I'm proud of you for ..."
@@1kozmon It can be so valuable to receive positive feedback/appreciation from others, and also provide that to ourselves! Even though it can feel strange, saying those words of support to ourselves can help.
“You will not feel this way forever and there are things that you can do to help you to feel better”
Thank you, I needed this.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
My mantra lately: “Little by little becomes a lot”
I love that, so true!
"What can I control right now?" Something we should remind ourselves more often! Thank you !!
Absolutely!! Thank you for your comment!
Thank you. The problem is that anxiety and nervousness is a physically painful experience. When I start to do work, it feels like getting a thousand paper cuts - even with medication.
Sometimes i got panic attack/overwhelmed when i think about the future. my heart beats fast, hard to breathe. Im afraid of the pressure from the future, im not great with changes and adapting. I can feel my life is about to change . So i feel overwhelmed by the possibility of that changes. I feel like im not ready
Me too
That’s what I’m feeling right now

Im so stressed and overwhelmed my stomach hurts and im nauseous. I have had such a hard time with my addiction. It literally made me sick. Thank you 4 more yiur video its definitely a good help.
Everyday, I have been overwhelmed and anxious, but at an extremely higher level. Nothing seems to work in my life, because I have "so many things on my plate" and I'm not doing what I wanted to do, which is to perform music. I bike, walk outside, nap, etc., etc., but I'm still out of control and struggling with my time to relax. Until you said, "This is a natural part about being human" and that "it's the opposite of the rose colored glasses." I'll add this to my liked videos, because you are a great source of help. A million thanks. ❤
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you!
I am definitely feeling anxious, overwhelmed and stressed. The fear is paralyzing. I know what I need to do, but finding the motivation to do so seems impossible. Im having trouble, concentrating, and the my stress and anxiety makes it impossible to get the quality sleep or rest that I need. Even writing this is hard because I can’t concentrate. I just want to curl up into a dark corner and hibernate. Thankfully, I don’t drink alcohol and have recently stopped smoking weed. I see a counselor, go to support groups, I try to do yoga and meditate, and get regular exercise. But it’s so hard to just get out of my own head. Videos like this are very helpful. But I just wish I could turn it off like a switch. Unfortunately I feel like the only way to move beyond this is to dig deep within myself and deal with the discomfort and try to take on small step at a time until I can dig myself out. I know there’s is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just getting there that is so difficult
It sounds like you are taking so many great steps, and it can definitely be hard to get out of your own head! There is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel and you are on the right path. ❤
I have been there!
I still get some general anxiety but nowhere near what I used too. For me it was realizing it’s all in my head. And life is short. Momento Mori….live in the now, control only what I can. Today, tomorrow , this week can be my last so just relax and live!
You got this 🫡
Even though I hate that you are going through this …. This comment literally explained exactly where I am right now! Thanks for being so honest and relatable
Does anyone else get symptoms such as full pins and needles in arms/legs, shaking/twitching uncontrollably, feeling dissociated, super tired and digestive issues? Ive had anxiety for over 10 years but these are some symtpoms that have spiked and have caused my anxiety to get even worse
Yes hun. I get this a lot 😢but I still have no idea how to control it 😔… I vomit a lot in the mornings due to the anxiety.. I can’t breathe. Pins and needles. The shakes or twitching. I can’t eat. Always tired. Losing my hair .. the list could go on. Please don’t feel alone. Together we have got this and one day we will be ok xxx
"Just today. One day at a time."
There are many on line therapy videos but your sincerity comes through and genuinely connects. Thank you
Yes it’s great we can choose one that suits us best and we can work with the person and move forward with them here groups courses it’s just a blessing
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I saved this video in my favorites so that every time I feel this way, I can listen and follow your instructions. The entire world feels so much right now on top of my grad school homework which takes up hours of my free time and some days, my entire awake time. The worst is that some days, I get so worried even when I'm trying to relax that I end up not relaxing or doing anything productive. That makes me even more anxious. Some days, I'm so anxious that I can't sleep. I'm grateful for the days where I can sleep very long because other days I only sleep 5 to 6 hours and the days I sleep long 12 hours. My brain doesn't shut off sometimes but I'm also diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety disorder which I take medications for and obviously don't work. I just have to keep reminding myself to treat myself to yoga, working out, music while walking my dog, and going to my favorite calm places. Those really help regenerate me. In the times when I'm trying to relax, I play video games and it doesn't seem to to work for me. Well I appreciate your video a lot and you brought up many helpful topics and advice.
High Functioning Anxiety - Yes!
Lessoning to these words ...
made a lot of sense...
focusing on what we can control, makes a lot of sense appreciate your help tanks much.
I'm glad this was helpful for you!
For me I realized that Im my worst critic and i focused on my insecurities and started judging myself because of that. And in doing so I thought everyone was judging me for my insecurities and was focused on me. I also push myself more than I have to and was overwhelmed with work and life changes
Just not fair that we are only good to some and rude to others . It’s just not ok .
This is the first time I ever heard anyone actually understand me. Why and how my anxiety kicks in. it's exactly the "dark glasses" and I can't actually see that I slept to little, tired and a bit sad and that influences how I see things. Just stepping outside and seeing this helps.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you and that you felt understood!
Hi Dr. Garcia, Michael from Trinidad & Tobago. All of your videos and teachings are very informative and applicable. HFA is very new for me, but I realize that learning more about what you are going through, helps you to handle it better. Thank you again.
Now this is great advice and information ❤New here and so need this today!!!!
Thank you!! I'm glad this was helpful for you ❤
I genuinely appreciate you posting this so much :’) heading into my first software job post graduation right now and this seriously helps tremendously ❤️
I'm a lot happier and calmer in my own place
I understand what you mean, but sometimes it's not my choices to get worried. It's my work place that makes me feel stress, worried. The way to help me is find a new job and leave my workplace.
Thanks a lot. Much needed❤
I like your voice, it feels good to listen to you 😍
I am overwhelmed today but it was a good overwhelmed
My anxiety is often unexpected and random. I'm pretty calm and composed. I've learned to cope with my anxiety but sometimes it'll pop up. I usually have rose tainted spectacles but then suddenly I'll feel overwhelmed with anxiety. The trigger can be because of some frustrating situation. Simple stuff such as not getting enough attention at times. I'm a bit of an attention seeker yet I've been working on it. As soon as I get that frustration I see all kinds of negatives. I however always talk sense into myself. I realise talking to oneself is bipolar but I've always used this. It often cools me down. Am I mad? Certainly but that's the way I function and I don't need medication as it destroys me.
never thought MONEY was gonna make me STRESS this much…I had a solid 75k$ at the age of 18(worked non stop) and invested it into crypto -50% to -80%…now I’m not left with much, spend a lot of credit card, need to work but I don’t enjoy my job anymore(infantry) but the neglect my transfer requests to finance clerk.
I can’t even get accepted into a “good” job as an accounting 4/6 semester student, real estate degree and soldier, like what are these ppl looking for? what else could a 20yo have more for experience?
this sucks frl
Thank you so much for this! I rlly need this love❤
I'm so glad this was helpful for you!
I found this very helpful especially when you said "this not backsliding growth isn't linear"... thank you for this reminder
You're welcome, I'm so glad you found this helpful!
First video I watched, immediately subscribed. Thank you for these tips. Definitely helped. I will be following you 😊
Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind words, Nilesh!
Thank you! Needed to hear this tonight
You're welcome!
Thank you thank you really needed this in this moment - beautiful channel ❤️❤️
Thank you!
Thank you!
This is what I wanted to hear ❤ Somehow you touched on all the ways I'm struggling and helped me understand what's happening and what I can do now as well as going forward. Thank you!!
You're welcome, Lainey! I'm so glad this was helpful for you. ❤
Been feeling disappointed in myself, thanks for your words ❤️
Going thru a lot I just got out the hospital and I’ve been having panic attack and feeling lightheaded and my neck an shoulders are tense upset stomach
This was so helpful ! Thank you. I'm transitioning towards a new job/business and I have my first real client appointment coming up. Of course I want everything to be perfect but I know I just have to relax, prepare what I can and be confident. I resonated with a lot of what you said !
I'm glad this was helpful for you, Robyn! Best of luck with your first client appointment, you've got this!!
Your channel is saving my life this week. Thank you. 💚
I'm so happy to hear that, thank you! ❤
Thank you for this, I am preparing to go to uni in about 2 weeks and I think the pressure im feeling from work, my family and myself is pushing me over the edge. I’ve always thought I was relatively confident and in control but I feel like that has completely crumbled in the past few months. Hoping to maybe start running or dancing as a hobby and a way of letting out stress. Thank you so much for this video, I think it has definitely taught me to be a bit more introspective and evaluative of where my anxiety is actually coming from❤
You're welcome, I'm so glad you found it helpful! Best of luck with uni- you've got this!
Thank you for the tips!
You're welcome, Philip!
This definitely hit the mark. I definitely struggle with relaxing and being ok with relaxing. I have a big to do list been work, chores, parenting and my personal growth and ambitions that I feel like I’m wasting time if I just want to relax and do nothing. I’ve also got a bit of a TH-cam addiction so I’m constantly listening, or watching things on TH-cam. I know this contributes to mental fatigue and stress, which ultimately contributes to anxiety and anxiety symptoms. Something I’ve dealt with for years now, but understand and know how to deal with it.
I know I’ve got an issue with not feeling good enough and that’s why I’m constantly pushing my goal posts further and putting pressure on myself to do more, achieve more, to be better.
Need to figure out how to resolve that issue
I'm glad this resonated with you, Ash! I have a podcast episode on how to stop feeling like you're not good enough that you might find helpful: th-cam.com/video/tdZGW0PVSRs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wxHcT5Xj0YoOfeiz
@@CalmlyCoping thanks for being a gem and putting this out there 🖤
I'm only 12 years old and I don't have anxiety, only thing close to it have been many panic attacks in the past. I'll be going to a cremation in a few hours. The past few days have been hard for me, I've been stressed out many times before but it's never lasted this long. Feeling nauseous, throwing up, shaking, headaches and I can't think straight sometimes. I know some people experience this often, and I have so much respect for them.
I'm so sorry for your loss, losing somebody is hard. ❤
this video was just what i needed.thank you so much.i searched for help.you really helped me right now

Thank you for describing my brain lol. Unfortunately, my stress response to intense overwhelm has sometimes been intense anger. My mind in these moments often shifts toward blame, projection, and criticism, not knowing how to make sense of what I'm actually feeling because rationaility has taken some time off. Which is difficult because in my "sober" normal everyday life my priority is making people feel welcomed and valued. So, the self-aware hypocrisy results in shame, which results in more stress or depression.
I don't often think of it as anxiety for me; it's more like this irrational stockpile of reasons to think life is too much. In the moment, like you described, it really feels a lot worse than it actually is. But between my two jobs, life can be demanding. Throw in an ex who had very little concept of valuing sacrifice I made, and who often lashed out, and has all but isolated me from my kids, and well ...
A tip about journaling from my own experience: use Google Keep to just jot down text. Sometimes I'll tell myself rational problem solving isn't working in the moment as a coping mechanism. I'm too distracted by my emotions to think about much else, so I type out something, anything.
Thank you ❤

@@CalmlyCoping No problem
I'm definitely not a "high functioning" chronic anxiety sufferer, but I think this video helped put things in a better perspective none the less...
Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful for you.

Just going outside being in nature helps me or going for walks.

I feel stress when I sit too long
The only problem with watching this video is that my anxiety brain can’t focus on it. 😢
Me too...
I ask myself, "How do you eat an elephant? ONE BITE AT A TIME." I know it's sounds weird, but it helps me to focus and break things down in my mind.
Yes, that's such a great metaphor!
Im anxious about zoom
