When I was in a middle lane turning into my work and I was almost gonna turn too late when a car was coming 😅 huge explosion of actual relevant anxiety for my safety
@Peter Griffins I can't go on road trips. My fan ly and I love nature and for some fricken reason my anxiety gets triggered and I cry, smoke weed, shoot whiskey...I get that scared. I get it because I feel like I ruin every trip we try to take😢😢😢😢
I stopped my panic attacks when I allowed it to happen. It’s scary at first. But it gets easier with each attack and then it diminishes. Haven’t had a panic attack in 5 years.
Last time I had a panic attack, i went to the ER with a 180/70 blood pressure. This is not good advice AND DO NOT say this freely on the internet without any medical experience/knowledge. This comment should be flagged and removed.
@@timtech9361 This is what worked for me. It’s facing your fear. The more you fight it it’s just gonna continue to take hold of you. This may not be the best advice for some. I get your point tho.
@@timtech9361 This is what ERP is though, exposing yourself to the anxiety, the triggers, the panic, and responding differently, in a better way--such as explained here. It's a tried and true method. It's what's recommended nearly everywhere for this kind of treatment. So let's also not spread potentially misleading and dangerous comments about treatment and how your singular situation could have been dangerous, when there could have been many other factors that led to your blood pressure issue. As panic attacks and severe anxiety can also cause isolated systolic hypertension, and you didn't provide any other potential information. This treatment works, don't discredit and try and get someone else's treatment "flagged and removed", when yours could be as well for fear mongering. They also didn't tell anyone to do what they did, just that it's what worked for them.
@@timtech9361I suffer from panic attacks. I have also ended in the ER just for the doctor to tell me that I am ok and to not panic. The panic attack had my blood pressure extremely high. They had me under observation for a couple of hours until I felt safe. Then they told me it was a panic attack and sent me home. I was in the ER several times and it was the exact thing. Only once a nurse advice me to go to therapy to get help with my anxiety. I hope it works.
I know many of our students who try to stop nailbiting and nailpicking habit he's videos valuable. Thank you and I hope you and our team can help a lot of people stop these disorders. Take care:)
i just cried cried and cried i cant express my self really , i just feel anxious or maybe not or just lost in my life so i tend to worry i just hope i get better with anxiety as it is ,thank u for the video !!!
*10 Simple Self Improvement Principles For Strong Women* 1. Drink more water 2. Eat whole foods 3. Practice daily gratitude 4. Pick up a book 5. Daily walks outside 6. Listen to a TED Talk 7. Forgive someone 8. Join a group of supportive individuals 9. Stop nailbiting/nailpicking habit for good (if you do it - consider stopping it as it makes you mentally weak + affects your confidence and all other areas of your life!) 10. Congratulate yourself for this growth Take it easy and I hope you found one thing helpful in this list. If you did, what was it?
It’s all simple in theory but anxiety affects other areas, such as sleep. Also it’s extremely vital to have purpose in life, without purpose, anxiety becomes to sole focus.
Anxiety is often a result of constant pestimism , you are thinking, I don’t want to talk because people will judge me (negative) I want to go because they might like what I have to say (positive)
See I don’t have these thoughts. I’m like you’re fine, but my body still has the anxiety. I will literally tell my body. Why are you having anxiety and my body just keeps doing it…
I’m glad I found you on here. Ever since I woke up struggling to breathe one night, that experience left me having an obsessive focus on my breathing and heartbeat. I then began to be obsessive about finding the cure in an attempt to somehow get rid of it thinking that to know about it is a way to cure it. To my dismay, it only fed it to a point where the fixation became worse. After watching this, I’m realizing how much of a difference it is to embrace the anxiety and stop the obsession with finding the cure. One intrusive thought I recently faced was “If I don’t think about my breathing or checking up on my heartbeat or blood pressure, I’d die…” Thank you so much for this! I know I’m on my way to recovery because of it. #embraceit #stopfindingthecure #exposuretherapy
Thank you so much for making this video. Given that most of the videos have been somewhat strictly OCD, this video is PERFECT for helping people with just anxiety. I’m sending this to all of my friends with anxiety.
My anxiety isn't that bed mentally anymore, but I feel it physically quite often and because of it I'm experiencing adrenaline fatigue. Has anyone ever been through this, or does anybody have tips to overcome it? God bless you all He loves you all so much!!
Hi! I know it's been months but, I feel more physical song of anxiety than mental. I know everything is going to work out and be fine, but my body doesn't for whatever reason. I like to use breathing to help with it, specifically box breathing or the 4 7 breathing. Box breathing is breathing in for four seconds than holding it for four seconds than letting it out for four seconds and holding it for four seconds. I usually stick the the four seven/ a mixture of the techniques. Four seven breathing is breathing in for four seconds than breathing out for seven. Sorry for the long paragraph. I hope this helps!
I get really dizzy and nauseous when and in social situations. But it’s just an evil circle since I’m scared to get dizzy, nauseous and anxious I don’t do it. I can’t be in class because of this. Every time I’m happy this just shoots the happiness down and kills it. It’s the summer break but it’s only like a week till school so my anxiety has completely taken over my life. I’m not happy. I’m crying every night and every night I hope I don’t have to wake up the next day. I don’t have friends and not a reason to step outside. I’ve tried therapy countless times nothing has worked. I am a complete prisoner in my own mind. Every day of last school year was a reminder of how much of a disappointment I am. If something doesn’t happen these last days leading up to school idk if I can’t make another year of being with substitutes in a small room learning zero another year. This is a last resort to maybe fix myself before. I’m scared.
im just so glad im not alone. Anxiety makes me feel this low too💔just wish it would go away so we can live and enjoy life, ill never know what i did to deserve this.
Same. When my anxiety symptoms make me feel that I’m going to have a heart attack it’s hard for me to overcome it, I fear that if I ignore it and not seek help, what will happen if I’m actually having a heart attack 😢
I have watched a million videos on the internet for my anxiety and nothing helped me as much as this one video did. It worked for me instantly and I watch it everytime I need a reminder. Good work you're helping people out in ways you might not realise. Keep it going 🎉
Exactly! When u just accept reality , and face the anxiety , my brain tells me relax man the danger is not real, or the danger is real but i dont give a f helps a lot
I’m afraid and anxious about my constant mild dissociation. I search and lookup tips on how to stop dissociation every day even during work. When I’m not looking stuff up I’m thinking about how I’m feeling 24/7. I’m afraid of not problem solving because if I don’t problem solve or worry about it, it might get worse.
Daamn how is it possible for u to make me feel much better and calm my anxiety symptoms right away (such as fast heart beats and breathing struggles)?! I'm very very happy that I found ur channel, and u can't imagine how noble what you do is and how amazingly reliefing your videos are! Thank you so so so so much for saving my life (cuz I literally almost got depressed till i found ur channel) ❤
Thank you, problem solving is what I do, my brain won't switch off and just thinks of everything that could happen and every ridiculous possibility of what I should do about it or how to prevent the things that trigger my anxiety and I get trapped in my own head for the rest of the day. I need to try and reset myself and focus on your method.
wow ! Doctor you literally diagnosed me without even talking to me . i’m so happy that i found your video and understood my problem. Now i will be working on solving it Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this video! Last year I was really struggling with some OCD symptoms where I constantly wash my hands and can't let go of my thoughts when it comes to specific things like arranging things and over analyzing things and now I'm struggling with constantly worrying about everything so this video really helps! Thank you! P.S I love how you give examples to us of what anxiety does lol
You know what, imma take your advice. I'll try to remember to come back in a few months and thank you properly if I feel like I've improved even by a bit. But thank you anyway for this video which at the very least somehow calmed the anxiety attack I am currently having.
Take some magnesium citrate before bed. But don't take too much because it can give you diarrhea. It can help you relax and sleep and it calms down heart palpitations. I like Natural Calm.
I wrote this for myself here, but that's THE BEST advice I've ever heard. I mean, of course I heard that I need to face my anxiety but I didn't know how. U taught me in this video. I'll note every time I get spike anxiety, then I'll write down my fears, and the reality afterwards and I'll go back to these notes each time I feel anxious. I need to print that on my wall XD: 8:50 Treatment is not a quick fix, it’s a life style. Something you need to do throughout your entire life whenever there is an anxiety and there is no threat. Make it your lifestyle, you trust in the treatment. Learn to not look for that cure, instead embrace your anxiety, do something different, feel anxious, don’t fix it. Do it over and over and over again. Your brain will finally get it.
This become tricky when the "Maybe, maybe not" response in itself becomes the thing you do to "get rid of the anxiety." That's where I am stuck currently. Using the 'exposure' or 'mindfulness' or even 'Alexander Technique' to feel relief from the anxiety. This becomes the compulsion.
Same. It’s really difficult for me to tell the difference between regular thoughts sad ocd thoughts. Where do we draw the line? When does disregarding become a compulsion and how do we prevent this from happening? I find myself feeling frantic /panicky when I get an ocd thought then I try to scour through all the techniques I’ve learned to see which one will make the anxiety go away before it “takes over”.
I cannot thank you enough for the work that you do. Through your videos, I have started to get some relief whenever a thought keeps bugging me. Thank you so very much. Your videos are a life-saver
I love your vibe. So calm and chill. Almost like a cool stoner dude. But embodied and educated. I found you while researching for my son’s tics. We are going to apply some of the strategies with him.
Dude i cant thank you enough for making this video whenever i get anixety i usually just continue my day like normal but im always thinking about whats gonna happen in the future or other horrible things but you have helped me get through my anxiety and saved me from thinking terrible things when anxious in the future❤❤
You got this. Anytime you are going through a difficult time during the day take 3 deep slow breaths to help calm yourself. You are a strong and courageous person and can overcome any obstacles in life.😊
Mushrooms played a pivotal role in my journey to conquer addiction, and I've never experienced a greater sense of self-control. I'm proud to say I've been clean for one year.
Psychedelics aren’t the answer I promise , people will always find an excuse to use drugs lol. You will either just have a fun experience or you will come out with major ptsd and anxiety from a bad trip especially since all of you already have anxiety it’ll just be amplified on drugs . Don’t do them
I have an anxiety-related question. I'll have intrusive thoughts that will jump back and forth between things I've believed for years and/or will say horrible things about people I love. I'll often stop and be shaken and have to argue with myself that 'no, I really don't believe this... do I?' That leads to all of the what-if questions and then more self-doubt as to whether or not I agree with these thoughts. Is this common? And if so, is ERP a good way to learn my way out of it? I don't know what to do. I'm scared...
This sounds like classic OCD! I experience this too- it’s important to remember that OCD is a “doubt” disorder (amongst other things). ERP should be helpful for sure! At the very least, know that you are not alone
Take ALL thought captive captive, for they are not your own. Thought leads to feelings/emotions leads to overreacting. Your issue is NOT anxiety, doubt, insecurity, etc. Your issue is anger. Overcome the anger and you will be free.
Same bro i am in a similar situation 🥲 I feel that everyone around me is fake and also i get those intrusive thoughts on everyone around me even my loved ones and my anixety keeps on increasing i don't know what to do
Great video! Thank you for this, my anxiety (and OCD) has been really bad lately so I'm eager to try this. I've only lately realized how much uncertainty I'm experiencing constantly and how much it actually affects me.
@@Avio033 same here! I thought I’m such a badass, not scared of anything, but looking back… constant fear, obsessions and compulsions, I just didn’t see it
Doing ERP right now with a therapist. I got the E down for sure but its the RP that I struggle with. I am constantly checking my emotions and analyzing my anxiety.
yeah this channel could use way more subs everyone can benefit from these tips in helping themselves or their loved ones who live/deal with mental struggles. plus all humans experience some lvl of anxiety and these tips can help in understanding what these anxious feelings really stem from and how it plays a role in our thinking and decision making
Hi Nathan! Could you make a video discussing the differences between GAD and OCD. I have symptoms of both, but have only been diagnosed with GAD. Thank you for all your helpful videos :)
@@francesselema6860If you make healthier lifestyle decisions, anxiety is much more manageable. If you keep yourself busy with a job and some hobbies on the side, it’s much harder to find time for anxiety
I agree when I face my fears, it doesn't have much power over me, I am scared to lose my job because I spent 8 months without it, but then I say to myself, well, if it happens I know I can deal with that, so that is okay, I can find another job, but I am doing my best and that's enough. I don't think I have severe anxiety, but I guess I never let It go so far, I am doing breath work, watching videos to understand why, meditation, and wrote a note to myself to read it when I feel that way, because I know better, I know what I need to hear at that moment. Not only that, but I usually say to myself, I will deal with that situation when it happens, and if it happens.
Thanks for the advice. My anxiety gets so bad that I feel tons of depression. I've been diagnosed with OCD. I suffer from suicidal OCD. I hope I can let uncertainty be there. Any other hints please.
Anxiety didn't warn me when I needed it but now that I don't need it at all it's really just a nuisance thank you for your videos they are very helpful.
I obsess over me having social anxiety.. I feel imprisoned.. I feel the fear of being exposed.. I feel everyone is looking at me... I can't be myself... Help me
Tell me the last time you ACTUALLY needed your anxiety to warn you of danger.
hmm… when I was walking along the edge of a cliff 4 years ago
I get intense anxiety when I play basket ball, I always feel like the ball is gonna hit me. (I mean, it could)

That's kinda sweet
That’s brilliant!!
That's actually a genius metaphor since Chickens can be REALLY loud and demand your attention. 🐓

That leads to all of the what-if questions and then more self-doubt as to whether or not I agree with these thoughts. Is this common? And if so, is ERP a good way to learn my way out of it? I don't know what to do. I'm scared...
This sounds like classic OCD! I experience this too- it’s important to remember that OCD is a “doubt” disorder (amongst other things). ERP should be helpful for sure! At the very least, know that you are not alone
Maybe. Maybe not.
Take ALL thought captive captive, for they are not your own.
Thought leads to feelings/emotions leads to overreacting.
Your issue is NOT anxiety, doubt, insecurity, etc.
Your issue is anger.
Overcome the anger and you will be free.
Same bro i am in a similar situation 🥲 I feel that everyone around me is fake and also i get those intrusive thoughts on everyone around me even my loved ones and my anixety keeps on increasing i don't know what to do
Great video! Thank you for this, my anxiety (and OCD) has been really bad lately so I'm eager to try this. I've only lately realized how much uncertainty I'm experiencing constantly and how much it actually affects me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I hope you can feel better my friend!
@@Avio033 same here! I thought I’m such a badass, not scared of anything, but looking back… constant fear, obsessions and compulsions, I just didn’t see it
I'm praying for you!!

Hi Nathan! Could you make a video discussing the differences between GAD and OCD. I have symptoms of both, but have only been diagnosed with GAD. Thank you for all your helpful videos :)
That's a great idea. I'll add it to my list!
Yes definitely
Me too, got diagnosed with GAD but have some OC traits as well, especially Relationship OCD, it’s just driving me crazy.
your liveliness is awesome . Thanks for ur this priceless support to support anyone across the world
you really have knowledge over this ;-; respect 100+
And for those of us who don't think themselves into anxiety attacks?😑
Thanks a lot, I'm feeling better now
This video opened my eyes so much as to why I’m feeling the way I am. Thank you so much dude
Thank you so much! I really need this video.
Nathan is such a blessing. Man...
I have ocd since 2002 and still fighting it. It doesn’t go away, it’s on automatic mode all the time
This year I stopped smoking bud and cut down my phone use. Anxiety disappeared overnight
It worked for real??
@@francesselema6860If you make healthier lifestyle decisions, anxiety is much more manageable. If you keep yourself busy with a job and some hobbies on the side, it’s much harder to find time for anxiety
There is nothing to cure, because I am safe. Now, all I have to do is convince myself.
thank you this video really calmed me down ❤
This video really saved me today keep doing it buddy 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
When watching this video, my anxiety got even worse for a short duration 😂
Thank you for this - subscribing 100%
I agree when I face my fears, it doesn't have much power over me, I am scared to lose my job because I spent 8 months without it, but then I say to myself, well, if it happens I know I can deal with that, so that is okay, I can find another job, but I am doing my best and that's enough. I don't think I have severe anxiety, but I guess I never let It go so far, I am doing breath work, watching videos to understand why, meditation, and wrote a note to myself to read it when I feel that way, because I know better, I know what I need to hear at that moment. Not only that, but I usually say to myself, I will deal with that situation when it happens, and if it happens.
Just found the channel! Love it man!
The best Educational video. THANKS A TONNE ❤
Thanks for the advice. My anxiety gets so bad that I feel tons of depression. I've been diagnosed with OCD. I suffer from suicidal OCD. I hope I can let uncertainty be there. Any other hints please.
I’ve finally figured this out, thanks to you!
Anxiety didn't warn me when I needed it but now that I don't need it at all it's really just a nuisance thank you for your videos they are very helpful.
good information. Shared. Awesome background, by the way.
Yet another excellent video . Thanks 🙏
I never realized I had compulsions. It’s true though I put my life on hold because of it. I’m trying to face my fears and retrain my brain
I just wanted to say thank you
I love that perspective of proving to myself its a false alarm, i looked too deep into quantum physics and it started freaking me out 😂
Literally helpful! Thankyou soo much ❤
Great video as always! Thank you for making these videos
Watching this video made me 10x more anxious and added to my anxiety. I only go through half of it.
This is actually very helpful thanks for this video 😍😍
I obsess over me having social anxiety.. I feel imprisoned.. I feel the fear of being exposed.. I feel everyone is looking at me... I can't be myself... Help me
