"Worrying means you are being responsible and not worrying is to be irresponsible" my mind just exploded
It’s all rooted in the belief that external events are in control!
@@judjudersawn2596 which external events you can’t control…
Not rly true. Not worrying is. It being irresponsible. Not worrying about what we can’t control is responsible. Worrying about what we can control is being. Just a nuanced difference
I am like this, I feel like if I stop worrying, stop “paying attention” then I am being lazy, irresponsible, weak, like I will fall behind in life. I have major health anxieties and regularly think I’m imminently going to die. I know it’s nonsense but my brain and body still can’t stop going down this path.
@@heyMattJay you're not alone!
I have GAD. I'm a nursing student and my first year was the worst time of my life. i'm glad to say that i have been getting better lately. I feel optimistic. Those who have GAD and are reading this please keep fighting. Hang on! You can do it
Same position as me. I'm a nursing student with this. Any tips?
jonathan sosa 🌹🙏🏽🌹😌thank you
Thank you. I'm completing my gen ed hoping in becoming an RN as well.
Thank you ! & for sharing.. ☺
That's awful .. It does help to give patience w/ one self when learning.. 😃
Thanks Jonathan ,I'm also having the same issue, I'm having homeopathy and it's helping me a lot
I’m literally crying right now because this is exactly what has been happening for months now, it’s such torture. Thank you for making me feel understood
Update: it’s been nearly a year now since i’ve made this comment, life is much more bearable for me ever since I decided to go to therapy and did a lot of introspection, despite the chaos of covid. I do still have trouble handling things, but trust me when I tell you that I have never been more content with my life than before. I wish all the best to those who liked this comment and commiserated with me in the replies. We’ll pull through guys :)
Hungryyy Boi you're not alone ❤️
Hungryyy Boi I’m also suffering too! So you are not alone! I pray for both of you 💛🙏🏽

A A thank you so much ❤️❤️
The perfectionism part...I'm always so hard on myself because if I don't do enough things are gonna go wrong. 100% irrational but I still tend to fall for it
The perfectionism part is so spot on. I read in a book that perfectionism is a form of extreme self-abuse and it's so true
I have been dealing with GAD for years it became extreme after being in a unhealthy relationship for a number of years. I have been able to control it with medication and breathing. Changes with the on going pandemic and changes in work life has had my anxiety come back. It's terrifying feeling scared all the time and excessively worrying about every day tasks. Good luck to all the people out there who battle with this I understand how hard and draining it feels
Normal person thought:
I want to go to gym!
Goes to the gym.
My thoughts:
I want to try gym.
1) Too many people
2) What IF i make a car accident ?
3) I can't find parking!
4) I'll look ridicolous!
5) I can't do sport
6) I can't do exercise
and many many more.
true

Video provides hiighly realistic and practical approaches to deal with GAD in a brief explanation which encourage the patients to adopt CBT as an effective therapy. Thank you very much for helping the patients in dealing with their GAD illness.
I do this when driving I put my music on loud as it calms me down then I spend all my time thinking if people in other cars will like my music or moving my rearview mirror because I think people are trying to spy on me through my own mirror haha. As far as going out I haven't been out in the evening since jan 2019 and can't take medication as it reacts with glaucoma pressure. I use to drink alcohol to take away the feelings it worked great since the age of 16-26 approx then I became hooked on alcohol. I am always beating myself up about chicken or the egg alcohol the cause or anxiety then alcohol to fix it. Eventually I got a proper assessment not from the makeshift general practitioner in house shrink. These assessments you have to demand to get them otherwise u get the twit at the doctors surgery "all the gear but no idea" and u end up ticking sheets of paper but life aint a tick on a piece of paper. The proper assessment I got the lady simply read my doctors notes from when I was 16 and she said clearly I drank to disguise the anxiety. I know this because my sister and nephew who don't drink have both been diagnosed with similar issues. It runs in families my sister is bi polar and nephew had a diagnosis for autism. I think personally they have gad as they act the same as me. We are all quite explosive so frightened we act with fight rather than flight. Christmas is fun , noooot :-) my best days are liveable my worse days I am highly suicidal , start selling my posesssions to pay for.my funeral then have to buy them back a few days later when I am.back in the land of the living. The biggest impact for me is actually my memory I can talk for England but struggle to take anything in. Different parts of the brain is the reason. Do you suffer mind fog? Did you use alcohol? Do you manage to work?
I'm studying relieving anxiety at home and discovered a great resource at Kevs Control Plan (google it if you're interested)
Hello the greatest success that ive had was by using Kevs Control Plan (just google it) - without a doubt themost helpful resource that I have ever seen.
My path to healing from GAD began when I recognized it as an abuse of the fight or flight response. My "obligation to worry" cited by Dr. Greenwood stemmed from my belief that I was obligated to fire a shot of adrenaline through my body in order to face my daily responsibilities. The fact is, the optimal long-term solution is to approach one's duties with calm intensity.
so true
How is your health doing with all that adrenal rushes?
@@NinaSitum-hn7yn Awful. Heart beating fast, unable to focus, fast to be exhausted, appetite lost, etc.
Your body is basically in flight or fight mode. While it's okay in short term, in long term it caused health problems
@@mitacestalia7532 do you have chronic muscle pain with it
@@mitacestalia7532what health problems? I have been on flight fight all day everyday,i am scared it will cause any problems?
The whole demeanour of Dr Greenwood is relaxing. He is easy to listen to and explains everything so well. Fabulous
I'm 75 and I have GAD and have been diagnosed with this 10yrs ago. I refuse to worry about anything anymore. My issues are overwhelming responsibility concerning keeping my house it's too much for me to deal with also toxic people mostly relatives. Well I'm going to sell my house and get all toxic people out of my life. At 75 I don't need to keep tolerating my situation when I can change it. Down size to Senior Apartment with less responsibility. And forget everything especially toxic people.
I'm feeling better already. Thank You DR. It's the overload of responsibilities that's it wish me luck every one ❤
Where you worried 24 by 7?I have gad and i am worried 24 by 7 its been 5 years and i am extrmeely scared of my heart😭😭
This is great I've had horrible life changing anxiety for 4 years and i have no idea what it even feels like to be okay anymore now....it feels worse to feel okay
Play at 1.0x speed and calm the heck down. Let your mind go over the info presented, because you need this info in your long term memory.
There are a few factors in reducing anxiety at home. One resource I discovered which succeeds in merging these is Kevs Control Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the best guide that I've heard of. Check out all the unbelievable info .
Thank you
Oops... you got me there. But at least I took notes
There are several components to ways to treat anxiety. One resource I found which successfully combines these is Kevs Control Plan (check it out on google) without a doubt the most useful guide i've seen. Check out all the super information .
Oops I’m listening at 2.0x
This is a lightbulb moment. He breaks everything down so clearly.
I worry about friends and check in frequently to make sure they're ok. If they don't respond to me quickly, if they haven't been online recently, if they've left me on read, if a message only goes through with one tick... my anxiety kicks in. When they say they're ok, it gives me short term relief and makes me feel more in control.
In the long term, though, it actually makes things worse because I never prove to my brain that, actually, if I don't check in every day, nothing bad will happen. If they don't respond to a message, or aren't online all day, it's fine. Life will go on as normal.
I'm like this with my family. He's so right about how not worrying feels like you're being irresponsible. As if, if i were not to worry, then these bad things i have in mind have a greater probability of happening. I haven't seen another video hitting on this. It's reassuring to hear for some reason.
Really helpful 🙏 It’s always so frustrating when people tell me to “just relax”, when it’s not even close to being that simple
My daughter has this incredibly bad and says the same thing to us. Do you have words from others that do help when an attack comes on? We need help. Thanks
@@ldavidson6853 You should give her CBD, Kava and/or Kratom it helped me.
@@ldavidson6853 "we are here for you." "We love and support you"
Oooooh my god… if someone says “just relax” it’s makes me wanna punch them
In the face haha… it’s the most unrelaxing thing to say… ever
@@ldavidson6853 Say, we are here for you or just hug her or something.
I do notice that I wanted everything I do, even the way that I react to my friends to be perfect and if it comes out wrong, I would ruminate and wished that I could just go back in time and redo it again. This has stopped ever since I started to understand the “flow state” and drinking more green tea as well as supplementing with L-Theanine. Almost all traces of anxiety went away but I won’t stop there until I finally am free from any worry of the past and future to the point that I can’t live in the present.
ive been in SSRIs since my 20s, every now and then when i quit meds i find myself suffering from GAD, im currently doin SSRIS and psychotherapy, i hope for the best. To everyone whos been suffering, my wishes for healing:)
The most useful 36 min of time ever spent on UA-cam 👌👌👌
Amen
This guy knows me without even knowing me cuz he’s certainly describing me.
I want to thank you for this video. Everything you said resonated with me. Knowing that someone somewhere gets this is beyond helpful. I hope to find other information you've posted.
I came here to watch again and show appreciation. I love this video!
Thank you Dr. Greenwood for this amazing video. As a beginning therapist I've found your description very helpful! I hope you make a lot more videos
Understanding anxiety is the key to relief! Understand it's not going to kill you! Understand your heart can beat up to hundreds of beats per minute, but it won't kill you. Just understand it, it's the key to success.
This is super - well done so clear and well organised.
Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge.
Wonderful lecture. Thank you Dr. Greenwood.
This is amazing and so insightful and helpful. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to get treatment for myself, walking in objectively and seeing what happens.
Thank you for this video, I found it really reassuring and practical. It was very helpful and clear and optimistic.
Amazing! My child needed this exact explanation and your video did that so well. Thank you so much. A mother's gratitude.
You are amazing!! Like, you hit every little point on the head. The actual psychology of it! Wow!
Thank u so much.
Absolutely love your way to explain everything, your voice is peaceful and very understandable.
Thank you for this! This is the best ive seen on youtube!
Such a nice calm clear explanation, and takes his time! I find it comforting.
Dr. Greenwood, thank you so much for making this video. Very informative.
Excellent video...Outstanding explanation ... Keep up the good work
I added this video to my BFRB (dermatillomania, trichotillomania, onycophagia) playlist. Great video! Comprehensive. Ty!
I have seen many videos and this is by far the most logical and coherent .
A brief explanation and then a relevant example.... you would make a great teacher along with a wonderful psychiatrist... thank you
Thank you so much Dr Vince Greenwood and Washington Center for Cognitive Therapy, you helped me a lot. God bless you !!!
Its an incredible video to help the the patients suffering from GAD. The video clip explains the GAD illness by dissecting and splitting the components of GAD through identification of its characteristic features so that the patients can choose a particular skill of CBT which very much suits them. The video clip briefly and precisely explains the realistic and practical approaches to deal with the GAD conditions so that the patients adopt the CBT therapy skills for the treatment and management of the GAD with certain level of confidence which in turn make the CBT skills an effective therapy . Thank you very much for providing the the highly needed health support to the patience suffering from GAD illness.
I have suffered from GAD, major depression, and PTSD most of my life due to a traumatic childhood and later, abusive marriage. Pharmaceutical treatment with anything but benzos has been unsuccessful, and they are not a long-term solution. I haven't had much success with therapists either, unfortunately. I have been off anti-depressants and anxiolytics for almost a year, trying to tough it out on my own, and honestly losing hope of ever being free. This video is a light in the deepening darkness. Thank you, Dr. Vince, for sharing this information with people who may not have access to such a competent and caring therapist. You are saving lives.
Have you ever tried swimming laps?

I'm a 21 year old university student that recently developed GAD n Depression, it has stopped me from school. I'd love to talk and get a little advice if possible, please!!!! (reidoskillz@gmail.com)
I have suffered an identical past and same diagnosis but have overcome the PTSD now living with GAD and depression. No meds but I am actively trying to overcome
Excellent, clear presentation without any psychological jargon. Is very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Greenwood. This was most helpful. Gave me insights into my difficulties.
Excellent, comprehensive video. The video I just released compliments this one, with an example of a client who recovered from generalized anxiety disorder and 3 tools to help you!
Thank you very well done presentation targeting the problem areas and treatment
I had a panic attack on monday night. First big one in my life ( just turned 29 last week) as a result this week i have been researching this. This has hit the nail on the head. It has helped me realise that i do have an issue and how to deal with it. Thanks for the video, its made me feel so much more relaxed about the situation. 😊
Good for you ! Keep it up. I am now watching this video
Feel bad for you my first bad panic attack was when I was 16, thought I was going crazy or going to die or both haha.....I hope you feel better and have grown to work with your anxiety as a un orthodox tag team partner!
I wish you all the best. I have struggled after a major panic attack. I have never been the same since then no matter how many different things I have tried to quell the worry.
This man is a godsend, you think your alone when you have GAD (Diagnosed 3 years ago, been living like it since a child) but this is an accurate description of my daily life.
Generalized anxiety disorder is a very controlling disease, i honestly have had suicidal thoughts to the point of scaring myself because i didn't feel at the thought of actually being dead. But we have to get ourselves out of these holes. Normalize conversation about mental illness, talk with your friends and family about it. Once you realize that there are more people out there like this than you would even know it gets easier.
Everyone has their own journey to wellness, cannabis and CBD along with positive thinking habits have done leaps and bounds for myself. Exercise daily, even if its small steps. Get yourself back into positive thinking and positive situations.
Good luck to everyone on their Journey, we all need to be there for each other.
Question: when you say you had suicidal thoughts and it scared you…..Do you mean you didn’t understand why you had them because you didn’t actually want to die?
I have had the same thing happen to me these past few years. It was the weirdest thing. I was like “…. But I don’t actually want to die” …..very confused and I didn’t know what to believe…..and I’m tellling you the fear I experienced is unreal.
But I got help! Thank God! I didn’t know I wasn’t alone.
This was a very good video. I learned a lot from it. Thank you
Such a calming, confident and soothing voice ..... Thank you....
Seeing and hearing you makes me feel calmer

Such a wonderful video, packed with information! I agree about the focus on behavior being very important in CBT. I talk about it in my video Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Exercises.
This was very informative thank you.
This is by far the best advice I have encountered yet. Very thorough and engaging.
Dr. Greenwood is very soothing to listen to. Thanks for this upload.

We each have worked on many things. Although it truly can not go away. It's not aggressive behavior. It manages to come out another way. I've really have to tell you we work hard on it.🙏
Omg am in love with your lecture about GAD
Amazing video, very helpful
This was a very helpful video.
I was diagnosed with GAD today and my answer to all of the questions is yes. I don't know how I feel about this but it's making me cry 😭 low-key feel understood for the first time ever 💔
Thank You Dr. 🙂
You are a saint for making this video!
I've felt so much better after watching this
One of the best explanations about this amazing and important subject I have ever seen...
Thank you very much, sir.
Lovely Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - TreatPanicAndAnxiety.blogspot.com ? It is a smashing one off guide for getting rid of panic attacks minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my work colleague after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.?
Thank you Dr Vince, I get specific skills and understanding from your teaching
I have GAD - this is a fantastic video and gives me hope
GAD sounds like me on every aspect. Sometimes it's hard to even make it thru the day. I want to be that fun mother yet everything makes me so nervous i cant function hardly.
I am sorry you are going through this too. I hope you develop the skill of relaxing. I certainly need to. All the best from Devon, U.K.
How are you doing Kathryn Flanary.

Very helpful and detailed video of GAD. Thank you so much sir.🙏
Thank You So Much for this detailed account on GAD. I have been a long time sufferer and it has compacted many areas in my life over the years. It's wonderful to think there is hope for all sufferers in the world. thank You Again.
What has it done to your thinking? Specifically how you connect to your emotions and thoughts? Is It hard to think coherently and deeply about matters? Like is it difficult to converse with people
@@nelson850 Let me put it this way. I have GAD. Severe GAD for that fact.
1. I wake up every morning with the feeling of fear in my body. That is throughout the whole day. I can't turn it off. It's the feeling when you worry or are scared of something. Even if I'm not worrying about something(really rare) then I still feel it.
2. When I wake up the first thing I think of is the worry and I continue the worry I left yesterday.
3. All worries are targeted at you. So you worry about all the possi le disease you may have and you start researching everything specific detail about every disease and go through your thoughts throughout your whole life incase you had the Symptoms. Also when I gave my friend muy phone once toy friend for 5 seconds. For a month I worried he downloaded an app that he could spy on me with. I reseted my phone 8 times and still worried about it. This is just one example of many thinga I worry about.
3. When I eat I wash my hands 5 times usauly also use alcohol on my hands, hand sanatiser and then put on gloves that have been washed even when using a knife and thork just in case I catch a disease from my hands.
4. anything you touch or do will trigger your brain to worry about the certain situation.
5. You can worry about something for 1 month and in 1 second stop and worry about something completely different.
6. You don't want to go out because you want to focus on your worry and research g about the disease or whatever you're worried about.
Honestly I just don't wish this upon my worst enemies.
Hı Gary. What about your Gad disorder? My Gad disorder is not going stable . Some times getting worse , some times is going stable.
The power of Now have helped me tremendously it’s a great book to keep you calm.
This really helped put all my worries and concerns into a more logical way of thinking. Especially the “on a scale of 0-100 how bad is the thing you’re worrying about going to effect you?” Thank you for this video!
This was great, very informative.
Excellent presentation! Recommend
this is the most relaxing video i’ve ever watched his voice it so soothing lol
Thank you so much for this informative video
Wow, this is the best video on GAD I have ever seen. Thank you so much.
I love this video, thank you, I watched it because of my therapeutic intervention presentation coming from up in few days but actually some of these applies to me. I constantly calling and worrying about the kids which I know is becoming excessive and I can't control it
Your last statement is the first one you need to challenge. So happy for you and your kiddos that you are open to CBT and acknowledging that GAD is happening. My mom won't do either of these so us kids often see her as a caricature not her true self as this chicken little persona overwhelms her real self. So the sooner you get going on this the greater the likelihood of having better, more genuine relationships, too.
So i've been diagnosed with GAD 2 years ago but in my country theres no much information about this disorder , i'm really lucky now that i can understand english cause this really helps a lot. Hope more psychologists here could help my people like this guy
I had to demand to get a diagnosis because in my country psychiatrists just prescribe medication and don't even tell you your diagnosis and what it means. It's only after several major depressive episodes I realized something is wrong overall and demanded to know the diagnosis so I could research it myself because they don't explain anything... It's so hard to advocate for yourself in this condition. And to find helpful resourses
Thank you for a lovely video. Very helpful and informative and I really appreciate Dr Greenwood's kind and calm presentation. Will play it several times over the coming weeks
I don't have access to psychological care, I went on a marvelous journey and found this video that describes me perfectly. I think I have GAD, I will get better and talk with an expert when I'll be able to, but for now I will do my best to treat myself the best way I can
Thank you so much Sir for making this video
I loved this so much. Thank you sir!
Great video! I completely thought I would have to buy something, but nope just solid gold, pure, kind advice! Thankyou!
“The physical symptoms are painful, often the reason why people seek out treatment”
Well look that’s me
I am a Counselling Psychologist . Its so helpful
I am truly impressed by Sir's ability to effortlessly elucidate complex concepts with such poise and serenity. His clear, concise explanations, delivered with utmost politeness and precision, greatly enhance the understanding and accessibility of the topic. Heartfelt thanks for the enlightening video on GAD.
Piece of cake! Thanks for your explanation.
