Myo-inositol helps stop intrusive thoughts. They’ve done studies. It’s worth looking into.
I love the anxiety issues and I love you
This video helped me understand how it works. Thanks 🙏
This videos make me stop feeling like I'm a monster. Sometimes I feel like my mind is scarier than the devil himself.
Whenever i have these thoughts i just search these vids and they go away for a while

You’re not. Like he said, it’s just anxiety trying to stay alive. Acceptance and allowance.
Same!
So to recap, your nerves are sensitised. The brain is throwing all kinds of pro survival thoughts at you to keep you alive and safe. You can’t stop the thoughts, that’s the mechanics of the mind. But then there’s thinking. Thinking is engaging, and you are actively doing that, you can control that, it’s rumination, an active process. When you engage with the thoughts by thinking about it, so the brain says this must be important, and send you more thoughts around that. The brain just wants you focused on negative stuff so you know what to avoid. When you engage with the thought you reinforce it, and it becomes a habit very quickly. Remember you are not your thoughts, and that there’s nothing to engage.
Thanks for breaking it down, makes great sense!
Absolutely.
what if the thinking is scary and i try to remain calm as its just a thought i will never do things?? it will go away as you are feeling scared at the same time?
@@PRAMILAVESHthat’s the same question I have
@@nanamiinmewassup, I think that if your scared it will still stick around, I would say with the more exposure you give to yourself, the less you fear it, and you have to be brave and trust yourself
just praying to god i recover
Amen
Me to I have stomach drops and everything .
Amen
You will
Finally got recover from this hard phase 😭

Hi jay. I m from india. Can u please help me
I am so far in this fight or flight response that I wake up in the middle of the night with intrusive thoughts, and when I try to calm my thoughts down with meditation, breathing etc, my body starts responding instead with heart racing as if I am in a life threatening situation. It's crazy, I didn't know this is called anxiety, I thought I was loosing my mind. It's definitely caused by years of trauma in my case, as I know exactly when it started. I was fine before. Good to know that it can be healed as it is really stressful.
Try with brown noises, isochronic tones or binaural beats
A tired mind is a mind that cant defend itself. Intrusive thoughts, negative things float past the front doors without any passes.
That’s true
How do I not make my mind tired
Im struggling very very dark and disturbing intrusive thoughts. Sometimes I feel like a monster. Since 1 week they are stucked in my head and I feel so bad because of that. But God gives me hope. I know that these Throughts aren't myself
Hey man you’re not alone trust me. Dealing with some stuff right now and it’s hard but we just give it time and keep our heads up.
I’m right here with you, thoughts that I don’t even want to tell a therapist, or anyone else. We shall overcome!
How are u
How are you now ? I’ve been feeling like this for the past 5 days
@@UA-camiscool865you doing better ?
I needed this today! Thanks Shaan!❤
just wanted to hop in and say, ive been following you since last summer when i started getting panic attacks and developing an anxiety disorder. while it was hard, almost everything you said or mentioned was true, about how the mind thinks in that state, and about how to ''resolve'' it by letting it run its course basically.
i can confidently say im almost completely out of the woods compared to where i was 6 months ago, being scared shitless during my working hours and watching hours of your videos one after another to find assurance.
so for that, thank you. thank you for the help, i dont know where i would be without that help right now
Hugely helpful. I think this is the single most important video I've seen thus far. It's the AHAH moment.
Such a timely video. Thank you so much for your videos! I am on a journey to recovering from anxiety and your videos have helped me tremendously. I owe my mindset change to you so thank you!
Shaan you are a true hero for helping people. Hope you feel a lot of gratitude because you should
Thank you so much for this video 🙏Its relieving to know that someone else has dealt with anxiety, and has overcome it. It gives me hope ✨
Wow. I needed this! It’s so helpful right now. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Been feeling very sad lately with my thoughts that won’t go away & videos like this do help.
Thank you, Been struggling over sixty years with thought, Trying to have some recovery in these late years. Appreciate you
I just came across your channel and while I was listening to this video, I had a pleasant micro sleep like it reset my mind in a way. I needed this
Excellent video, Shaan. Very very clear and helpful.
anyone here feels your heart beats like pumping loudly . you always noticing your heart beats . I hear my heartbeats makes me anxious but playing basketball really help
Some times
🙋🏻♀️
Thank you! Simply just listening helped a lot!♥️
10:38. 5 Month ago you have been at 14,3k Subs. Now you are at 43,3 and that is well f***ing deserved. I am struggling with the hypochondira, specially cancer. Every little symptom I experience with my body, my mind tells me "it's "this and that" cancer - for sure!". I am in therapie for abour 8 months now but I gotta tell you, one of your videos helps me as much as 3 months of therapie. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for uploading videos like this and helping thousands of people understanding their minds and thoughts, helping them taking steps to a better live. Thank you.
Happened with me as well
I hate to say this, but I’m so glad to see how many other people have this issue. I read something that said only 2% of people suffer with this. That being said, I’m only glad, because now I don’t feel so alone. Definitely don’t wish this on anyone. I hope we all get the help we need and learn to deal with this.
Your blessing alot of peoples life's please don't stop.
This is so true and make perfect sence!
The brain is weird. I’ve been dealing with nasty intrusive thoughts my whole life. God help me😢
Chosse the thougts you want to belive and do good for you
Ive been having anxieties and insecurities because lots of things badly happen to me which also i feel that any mistakes i do is a big thing for myself: i can never forgive myself or cant move on.
Its been YEARS that i have this problems and right now im trying to recover. Im struggling.
Unreal shaan you have really helped me so much from these videos
Considering I am the biggest brainiac breaking this down for me really helped thank you so much
Thanks alot for video. Priceless advice
Very good video. Learn to sit with the discomfort of the thoughts without directly thinking about those thoughts. Thank you!
The person who suffer only he knows what’s going inside his mind, all these lost thoughts running inside mind, fear of what is happening, thinking of when i will be alright again like i used to be earlier, DONT WORRY my friends these all gonna be ok one day. Trust me i was suffering from 9-months .You just have to do one thing when anxiety hits you just feel it and realises it and one thing you DONT have to do is don’t reach on it this is how i fight with my anxiety.I am living a normal life now i don’t have panic attacks, i am just suffering from lost thoughts and triggers. I am fighting everyday to get back to my normal life. And one day i will be completely out from this hard time.
How are you now ☺️?
@@Elle-hx8ji not so well! 😢
@@ARajput15 Awww! I’m so sorry to hear that! I am overcoming mine via reassurance that others go through the same thing, not paying them any mind, going into nature and spirituality etc. Believe it or not, comments like yours help me out a lot!
@@ARajput15 go consult a psychiatrist
Thank you for this video, this help me a lot ❤
Intrusive thoughts are in my life since I turned 16. Even though I am happy most of time but sometimes it comes back and ruins my life. Because I can feel anxiety for weeks it ruins me.
Great video man, thanks
Oh my GOD ! a Rebound !!!!
🙏🏿🤲🏿🙏🏿
This was underrated and was most helpfull ❤ Bless you Shaan in JESUS name!!❤
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Its the thoughts that seem to send u into a panic sprial..... If u get a belly issue, or you wake up groggy and a bit "dizzy" most people woukd just carry on. But when youre sensitive your brain starts "oh no ..here we go ...youll neber get better, yourr going to struggle for ever, bla bla bla"
These damn intrusive thoughts start the cycle every time.
My dad, RIP, used to joke and say:
"If we had no brains, think of how happy we would all be"😂
He was right. Anxiety is so much about the mind and how you creste your own hell. Stress, worry, planning, not planning, habbits, fear, grief. All mind.
Thank you so much Shaan
Subscribed, watching in sep 2023 having the worst day, crying all day, started in 2020 during covid lockdown and mum died and had to say bye over a video and couldn't go to funeral as was in a different country
Thank you, Shaan.👍
This is amazing it's really interesting learning about the mind and this helped alot
Sounds like what I go through 24/7
Thank you so so much ❤
Thanks my friend again great 🇬🇧🙏
Thank you for this video, I'm slowly recovering from the physical symptoms of anxiety and it's been so great but now I'm struggling on getting over the intrusive thoughts. I told my therapist and all she wanted to suggest was that something was wrong and there is medicine for me to take for intrusive thoughts cause it's not normal. My anxiety almost came back but I didn't let it . I saw this specific video and it just makes me feel better again. I knew it was just me and I just need to retrain my brain since I developed this habit when my anxiety was in full swing.
Most therapists have no idea what anxiety is and what symptoms it can create. The only therapists that can help are the ones who have actually been through it. There is a rare exception of therapists who havent been through it that can help you but they are very hard to find. Id stick with Shaan and Dr Claire Weekes.
Yes so true...i am also in same phase..I keep telling my therapist on my thoughts ..they only suggest go expose yourself and it will be fine..
🙏I'm there with you
it’s normal if we have that,..100% people have anxiety have that problem.. and if any therapist said that’s not normal, they are not a therapist or a psychologist.. this is normal symptoms from anxiety… the most important thing is don’t join with that thoughts and don’t scary of them.. just let it be
Thank you so much.🙏
This was helpful.. Appreciate it 🤲🏾
Very good video. My issue at the moment is that i have anxiety with eating - which i do 3 times a day at least - whuch makes it really hard for me right now to detach from this thought when i have to encounter it multiple times a day
thanks Shaan ! 😊
Omg thank you so much everything is clear now i hope i can do it soon
I just discovered you last week and I have already seen great results using ur methods. I also purchased ur blue print to have handy. Thank you so much for what you do ❤ God bless
Send me the blue print copy. Can't afford it
Thanks this really helped me
Thanks man 👊🏻
Thank you this really helps
my intrusive thought was getting as close to calling 911 as possible without doing so (my phone has an emergency sos feature) and it basically prevented me from doing things like eating properly. i hope this video will help break that habbit
You mean well. Good man. First. Person to help me understand thoughts thanks. My friend 👍🙏
I used the Silva method for relaxing. That and using lessons from Gerald Jampolsky’s book “Love is letting go of Fear!”
One of my favorites is “This instant is the only time there is!” Quite nice for going into stressful situations.
Thank you
Very helpful
This really helped me
Thank you so much sir.
I love you
I JUST PRAY ALOT. THERE SOLVED
Only works for idiots without enough of a brain to have it malfunction
@@henryzhao4622this literally makes no sense
Sad this before you are the first person to have helped me thanks 🇬🇧
Agreed! So sad that therapist don't have this knowledge, ridiculous
Very good advice thnks shaan
Yes, you cant stop the thoughts. But you can decide: to engage (fusion) with it or not. It's like a mind Tinder: true or false. You can decide: oh yes it's a false thought, and oh it's a true thought. You can chose. :)
Ur a legend May God Bless You 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thankyou so much you are fantastic.. nice clear simple voice and explanation... Thanks again ❤❤
Very helpful 💗
2nd video of watching you and i have hope again love your way of explaining ect😢 I haven’t found a professional and ive seen videos but then forget so im just going to stick to yours and hopefully recover i sent a request to join the facebook group hopefully im approved
Wow final engaging with the thoughts😢😢
Just found your Chanel. Thank you very much
So never engage with the thought? I have OCD, BDD and Anxiety.
Thank you brother
It's the same thing happened to all people it's the thoughts so no matter what it is people. Don't think love you all ❤️🇬🇧🙏🤔😉
there is no addition and multiplication in mind, dont push a thought away by thought, the thought will come but focus somewhere else like breath outside world again and again, you know meditation and mindfulness
I really struggle to apply this to my situation. I have ocd and anxiety and strong intrusive thoughts. I have intrusive thoughts about losing control and/or killing myself or suicide due to a trauma and it's stuck with me for 2+ years. I can't be alone out of fear and the thoughts are especially strong when on tube/train. Sometimes the physical anxiety is so strong with my mind racing telling me I could jump infront or the track that I feel my body jolt forwards and don't feel I could actually stop it happening. It's hard to really truly be convinced that it's just a thought. I've never been suicidal and don't want to have these thoughts, just stuck in the cycle of fear!
One thing that completely turned my life around was starting to practise Chi Gung. There are hundreds of free UA-cam videos about this. The exercises are very simple but the most important thing is that they reorganise the chi and the prana that flows through all of us and thoughts believe it or not are a form of prana. This wonderful practice revitalise and heels and nourishes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals all of which contribute to anxiety. Standing barefoot on the Earth and practicing Chi Gung was a game changer for me and my mind has become incredibly calm peaceful and happy and after many years of suffering I finally feel that my mind is on board with me and not my enemy❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please i have been going through this for 4months now and i dunno what to do
Hey, I am experiencing something very similar, although I dont have OCD, yet I do have those kind of thoughts. For that I have applied what they call in CBT "putting thought on a trial" meaning : "evaluate the evidence for and the evidence against the thought. We pretend that we are bringing the thought to a judge, and we need to show the judge evidence based on facts and not on feelings. " It sounds simple but its a process that is somehow reassuring in such a distressing thought pattern. I should also mention I am on 20mg of fluoxetine due to my therapist recommendation; but the most important part is working on yourself and your mind. You will get through this. I hope that helps and if you need someone to talk to and share let me know!
Good men you are the one to have helped me. I don't know nothing about. Thought you told me nowadays I no thanks 🇬🇧🏴
Tysm❤❤❤❤
I was distressing for 1 month due to this thought loop and I was having some illogical and some anxious thought on a loop. It made me anxious.And I've watched a lot videos.Everyone says it is just an thought . But no one said that it will come again and don’t be anxious except you.
Here is the key point to overcome these thought is knowing that It'll come again and you might feel bit stressed.But that's okey.
I hope it helps someone❤
Great video
8:36 lol it’s interesting how relatable this is
For everybody watching this video I would like to suggest that you start practising Chi Gung especially barefoot on the Earth. It nourishes heals and revitalizes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals and all of the other organs in the body. When practising this beautiful passive martial art and it's wonderful easy and deeply relaxing exercises it completely clears and cleans and replenishes the mind. The chaotic energies in the head become far less dense and begin to move downwards into the Earth and become grounded by the feet barefoot on the Earth. Even if you do it with shoes and socks in your own living room it still works because of the way that this incredible healing practise moves energy throughout the body to balance the mind and emotions. Also look into taking a very high quality source of magnesium and a broad spectrum of B vitamins. Avoid coffee sugar and alcohol or at least cut them down to a manageable and safe level. Try to go to bed by 10 and get up with the sunshine and do some Chi Gung. A Chi Gung master would never suffer from anxiety or racing thoughts because his prana is stable and balanced and flowing in a healthy way throughout the body which keeps the mind clear and clean. And lastly try if possible to get yourself into some kind of spiritual community where you can form deep and compassionate friendships because isolating and being alone makes everything feel so much worse. Chi Gung has been a game changer for me after years of suffering anxiety as a younger adult. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A breathing technique called Kapalbhati and humming works for me to disengage the brain from the nervous system. Kapalbhati is a fast pace respiratory exercise or pranayam. Remember, If you ever feel down always remember to hold a simile!
There's days i feel like giving up. There's no point the struggle up that mountain.
The issue I have is when I try to turn my life around, staying positive, new routine, healthier liftsyle, something always kicks me in the ass and i have to restart again and again and again.. i can control my anxiety, however it just sucks when i get afraid of my own thoughts 😅 im just tryna stay happy!!! I havent had a full on panic attack, i wont let myself but its just the feeling of not being able to control myself and not knowing what will happen is scary as hell
Hii can u help me, we have the same problem I guess. How do you control it? I'm having trouble 😭
I love you bro😊
It's so disturbing and horrifying to suffer from OCD, but something worse is suffering from Religious OCD. I used to have mild derealization symptoms but now the episodes hit me about half the time of every day. I developed anxiety about going to sleep because of how scared I get when thinking about what sort of dreams and nightmares I will have to face down.
Its not about religious or someother type of ocd because i had religious ocd for a year and suddenly i got another different intrusive thoughts now my brain is fixed on this new thought and i dont get religious bad thoughts , but know no intrusive thought is better than the other thought
Imagine ignoring this dragging in my head as my doctors spend approximately 10-20 minutes q1-3 months actively thinking about how to solve My case.
Curious, does thoughts that come from health anxiety fall into intrusive thoughts as well??
I went through weed withdrawals the first 2 weeks where the worst now am 2 months sober am still have a little bit off anxiety n I have brain fog an I overthink a lot I thought I was going crazy
I started with panic attacks about 5 years ago when i woke up not breathing as i got sleep apnea, ever since then iv lost weight so got rid of the sleep apnea, but every now and again i have a blip more panic attacks and for days after my brain tells me i cant breathe and im constantly thinking and monitoring my breathing as i feel if i stop it will stop and i will die, now im stuck i cant sleep my head tells me i cant breathe, when i relax and start to fall asleep i wake up panicking because i cant breathe, i am 45 years old i know i can breathe but it still doesn't stop my throat going numb and having 2 physically check that im breathing its been a very rough week, im so tired but cant keep taking diazapam to stop me thinking
thanks
I am suffering from this now but I am using words like so what? I don’t care to counter this. It’s very tough to keep on repeating this every 4 mins whenever thoughts coming in.
Embracing pessimistic thoughts until they fade off the mind sounds discomforting but I hope it's worthwhile.
What if you're intrusive thought is from past trauma?
It's a living hell.😪
What about when the thoughts are of past hurts and experiences and they occur during the night, night after night ?
How do I find a guide? I'm gonna need one.
What I'm discovering is that the mind cannot be cured and it can't be remedied. It's like the mind has a mind all of its own. I'm discovering thru Meditation that who I really am is not my mind and I am not my thoughts and I am not the stories that is created by my mind. My perceptions about myself and the world were incorrect. By Observing the mind, you actually become more Free!! All negative thoughts and imaginations are created by the mind and what I'm finding out is that thoughts are not even real. They don't exist and it's the same thing as when one dreams at night. Further more the root cause of all human suffering is the mind! If we had no mind we wouldn't know what suffering is.
My friend your mind is you everything in your body is you
