Shaan i am literally grateful to you man....thank you so much....i am much much better now and almost recovered 99%....i am feeling better and better every day...trust me everyone you will be better....just take your time understand it, believe in yourself...i pray to God everyone here dealing with this may get completely healthy and fine.....lots of love to you shaan.... God bless you
I am 95% recovered from anxiety. My resting heart rate is much better. I walk about 5-8k steps everyday and strength train 3-4 times a week. It feels like I have championed anxiety. I would never have thought I could feel this good again. Exposure worked for me a lot.
The only thing that makes my symptoms "better" is working out when i feel my worst. Somehow, it all goes away. Its ao hard to get started when you feel so bad but once you do it, you feel incredible ❤️
This is perfectly explained. Been there done that. Anixety and obession with so many themes but this is the ONLY thing which works. I am now almost laughing at some of the topics. People trust me...this method works and if you have a setback you re just cross it...
Dude, over the last couple of years, you always seem to release a video that corresponds to my stage, it's uncanny 😂. But the last few months I've felt like I'm at the final stage, honestly I'm at the stage where I'm trying to recognize thought patterns and let thoughts just come and go, and my physical symtoms have all but faded away. I wanna say thanks man, I honestly don't know how you don't have millions of subs!
You will even stop recognizing these thoughts and patterns in next stage.🍻.you will not care about them. It took me 1 complete year to go from 90 to 95%😂.last 10 % always takes little time j feel
@omikoch that's so right, I haven't had any type of panic or crazy shit in forever, just a couple lingering symptoms, it was discomfort after meals and stomach issues for the last year, now that's pretty much gone, and it's just the mental tug of war with stray thoughts.
You are spot on!!! I love your reference to Dr. Claire Weekes. Her face float accept and let time pass approach is key. Your adrenaline releasing nerves are sensitized. This causes physical symptoms. You become afraid of the symptoms and the fear releases more adrenaline. Your stomach may churn, you may have shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, reflux, afib. It's adrenaline and fear. It's a viscious cycle.
Man God bless you, you have made me so happy. I cracked up with the mad cow disease but you are 100% right, Google and writing down what you feel is the worst thing you could possibly do.
Omg yes. Working so hard to expose myself gradually and I am getting better but the anxiety hits hard whenever I think about a long journey or somewhere thst is new to me.
thank you, you have opened my mind more and see what type of cycle i put myself in. That’s beautiful to me because its life ❤ i hope everyone the best recovery reading this.
This video literally explained my whole experience with anxiety- so powerful to hear this is not just me and clearly a common cycle if he’s been able to describe the whole thing and correctly
Hey I’m just someone who dealt with anxiety and to tell you that there’s one simple solution it’s not the best but what Shaan talks about is literally the only way as it’s letting go sometimes it feels worse and you just want to rest all day but instead just try to do minor things even if it feels awful to do something minor everyday and stay positive because the brain is what causes all this stress so instead stay control over your thoughts and mind and also if you’re struggling with sleep anxiety I suggest changing your sleeping schedule that’s what I did I sleep everyday at 9 p:m and wake up at 7 a:m also try working out or not exercise and listen to music and chill out with people I know it can be daunting being the only odd one but it’s okay try to relax enjoy life and please try not to panic to much as well “p,s sorry for the bad grammar still taking my ged”
Omg, you’re duplicating my life for the past 14 years. You hit the nail on the head about consistency which is what I have trouble with and yes when setback hits I go and look for different X, Y n Z which gets me more confused as to what I really should be doing. It all comes down to wanting control, perfection and being impatient. I can really relate to all that you’re talking about. Thanks for sharing and the advice.
One thing that I noticed in my experience was that embracing the symptoms of anxiety is key, as he said, trying to listen to my body with love. Also, make the choices I need to make. What I realized was the the times I'd have most frequent panic attacks where the times I was postponing a decision, staying in a difficult spot and not being true to myself. It's about you and what has to be done and you just feel afraid of facing. Of course I'm not rejecting other causes and each person is different. This is what I learned about myself in my journey.
I'm obsessed with you! Everything you say is right onnnnnnnn, always, I am hoping I continue to make progress and get back to a normalish life. I feel like your videos will actually help me because the few I've watched have been impactful already!
This video is amazing man, thank you! Everyone struggling should watch this, understand and believe it! Know that recovery is possible, and as soon as you start educating yourself on recovery and trying to better yourself, you have begun! I recently had a setback, after working really hard on myself and my acceptance. If was frustrating but I know it’s all part of recovery as per your video steps. I am rooting for every single one of you in the comments, and I know you will recover if you put in the work and ride out the journey!
I will pray for you. I've been struggling because I feel alone, some homeless man spit in my face through my car window in a city when I was going to work. I was crying and , I had to work, and my anxiety has gotten worse. I need words from other for help, or fucking shows or entertainment.
i appreciate this concept of separation from struggles and identity. i have struggled with high anxiety for as long as i can remember, and thus it was very easy for me to believe i'm just an anxious person, because i have been, all my life. being likely on the spectrum, i have wondered a lot about how my recovery journey might be different from others'. thanks to you and others, i have separated anxiety from my core being at least a bit compared to my past. it was mind-blowing when i realized i may be able to have a new identity/sense of self that isn't oriented around my anxiety or being a victim of my environment anymore. i'm excited to see where i can go, and no matter how my recovery looks, i do not want to see myself as a victim of life anymore. thank you Matt.
appreciate your videos. thought of having setbacks as going back to square one, but hey it's a part of the stages. praying that everyone who is experiencing anxiety will be well. Sending virtual hugs to everyone.
this made me feel better and made me understand what i'm going through so much. it's like an assurance that I'll get there (recovery). thank you for this.
I’m in the acceptance stage. I’ve been fighting anxiety for the past 6-7 years. Doing Socratic questioning doing cbt journaling reading everything to lessen the anxiety and now I’m at the stage where I’m just like screw it I have anxiety and that’s that. Acceptance. I’m not going to fight anxiety anymore it’s honestly my whole issue with anxiety is I’m trying to beat it and lessen it, which is actually creating the problem in the first place.
Yes! I’ve had anxiety to some degree for over 20 yrs. At times, worse than others. I have agoraphobia and cannot do everything I want to do YET, but I have accepted that my life will be a journey like many others won’t ever understand. But hey, at least we can say our lives will never be boring😅 I no longer “fight” it like some kind of cancer I can completely exercise from my body; but I accept that sometimes it will be active and sometimes it will be in remission. I try to force myself into more exposure work when I’m having good times. Wishing you all the best on your growth journey.❤
@@Bayoubebewhats ur age?....i was a happy and confident soul until 26 years of age and suddenly i got a anxiety 1 week before my marriage ! I love my wife so much and I was too much nervous to live a life with her in real life along with my joint family...and I got a panic attack and my symptoms were my legs started shivering, heartbeat fast pumping, voice breaking and I got scared ! and it lasted 4 minute first time.....and also got it two times after the marriage ....is it because my major life changes?
@@chiragparmar1964 I am 42. I’ve had this issue since 16 yrs old. It’s not always bad, but I do remember it being hard at first, until you learn to navigate it. Yes, it’s just the high pressure and new changes to your circumstances. You are probably putting a lot of pressure on yourself to “be perfect”. A lot of us are also perfectionist and we get a lot of anxiety about possibly embarrassing ourselves. I had this happen after I had my daughter. I didn’t drive very far with her in the car, out of fear that I would panic and she would see me, or if something happened to me, she would be helpless. We just overthink everything. You need to be honest with your close love ones. Tell them you are struggling with a bit of anxiety and you would just like their love and support while you work through it. Hiding it makes it worse just like “fighting” it. The anxiety may no go away completely, but you will learn how to cope through it and it does get a lot easier with support. Best wishes to you, it’ll all be okay.
... the nausea and diarrhoea so bad taht you think you have some sinister disease ... (and when they say it's 'JUST" anxiety) - but it's JUST crippling. Wow! I love the way you describe just how sensitive the nervous system gets - when I try to explain that just seeing a (good) friend overstimulates me, it sounded a bit daft even to me, but that is how it is - I end up debilitated. I have to keep my life very quiet right now. I have been through this before, I can get through it again. I seem to have a cycle. I feel great so I take on too much - then I crash into severe anxiety and vow to be more sensible next time ... (I was diagnosed some years ago with complex ptsd, dissociative disorder and chronic GAD). Feeling well is like heaven :) Wishing everyone all the very well xxx This is SUCH an awesome video! Thank you so much!
I’ve been feeling like passing out for a year and a half. It has gone away couple times and always get setbacks to the point where I can’t sleep. The constant fear of the room spinning is just horrible. Doctors tell me it might be anxiety but they don’t tell me how to get help with it. I’ve gotten EKG, CT scan, Chest x-ray, just high blood pressure. But no medicine for that. Doctor said I was good. I’ll be okay for maybe a couple weeks and then out of nowhere it feels like my peripheral vision shakes and I get that fear of falling down. And getting out of it sucks. In my mind I try and accept that there’s nothing bad going on I’m not falling but it’s really hard to get out of…. 😢
I think you might have PPPD, which goes hand in hand with anxiety. Recovery techniques are the same as Shaan is saying. Look into The Steady Coach. She's a doctor who specializes in this and has an entire free course with some exercises to rewire your brain back to normal.
You don’t have “PPPD” or any other label. You’re dealing with a sensitized nervous system and you’ve built a strong habit of panicking when you feel the sensations of dizziness and passing out. You MUST change your response to these symptoms. You need to let them be there, relax into them as best you can, and continue with your life regardless of how strong the symptoms are.
Jokes aside, if it looks like your peripheral vision is shaking and you've had this symptom OUTSIDE of a panic attack or anxiety it might be binocular vision dysfunction. Your eyes are not working together essentially, and many times it is confused with anxiety or panic attacks. A neuro-ofthalmologist would be the best person to evaluate your condition. But if that's ruled out as well, then it's most likely anxiety-induced
hey there ! i feel for you and I know how much it sucks to be in that very position 🥺 In no way do I wish to invalidate your experience I wish only to provide a bit of peace of mind if I can. Earlier this year I had a hard time managing my mental health as I traveled abroad. My anxiety was so high due to mental compulsions I was taking part in constantly (I have ocd) I eventually started to experience dpdr. It freaked me out so much I started having really intense panic attacks and then wicked dizzy spells for the first time in my life. I’m talking seeing the ground move from under me and feeling like I’m gonna collapse if I get up from bed. im 23 and relatively healthy so it took me for a loop until I started putting the pieces together. i didn’t come to those conclusions on my own I owe a lot of it to online resources.(some I’d recommend are mark freeman, the sleep coach, peace from within) I realized my body was just extremely exhausted by all the stress I was putting it through unknowingly. It needed to rest. It needed care. it didn’t need me trying to find answers or trying to avoid the physical symptoms i was dealing with. no matter how hellish they were. Palpitations, racing mind, lack of sleep, dizziness, nausea, etc. It needed me to trust it to fall back into normalcy like it knows how to. It needed me to do nothing. these resources are gold I feel bc they emphasize this idea that despite how ugly things may get and (they were horrific for me and I’m sure you can relate )we do know how to return to balance bc our bodies and minds are made for it. idk it gives me peace of mind to think my body can work w me not against me. as I developed that mindset and left things alone my body very slowly began to relax and I was able to get back to living. I do experience dizzy spells still but only when I am stressed about something or falling into old habits. I hope you can find this to be useful. I’m wishing you the best ! you got this 💪🏼
Hi Shaan, you’re the only one who truly understands what I’m going through. Whenever I feel down, I watch your videos, and they’ve helped me so much. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our lives. I’m still on the road to recovery, and whenever I feel like I’m falling back into the cycle, your guidance helps get me back on track. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤍
Holistically speaking Shan is the best web recovery coach. I’ve followed them all. But Shan system is the best. Acceptance and it’s stages then going into limiting beliefs.
I’m new to this channel but I can relate to every Shaan is saying. Anxiety and digestive issues, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, phlegm in throat, etc…. It’s like a crazy roller coaster. Which symptom will pop up today. Ugh! Sooo fearful and focused on every symptom… Frustration and Anger, Depression! My Family does not want to hear it anymore… When I’m busy symptoms seem to disappear but it can be the same day and I’m relaxing and here they come… Am I the only one?
@VictoriaLeopard-ud1si have faith that you will improve. The solution is in your hands. Believe it or not, you will get better if you believe that it's possible.
Your videos are at the pinnacle of anxiety recovery. Can’t thank you enough for what you do. I think I’m in a step between experiencing core confidence and being completely free. I’m 8-9 months into the recovery journey and I feel better than I ever have in my life. The setbacks can happen even after a period of experiencing core confidence. That’s what I’m working through now. These videos help remind me that it’s all part of the process.
Hey @Shaan Kassam I appreciate this video so much. As it reminded me to know what I’ve been doing wrong . I was accepting and responding correctly. And I hit set backs and went through them. But during that time I was taking Trazodone 50mg during that time . But then still to this day I don’t know if it was a side effect or just a reallly really bad setback. Anyways it caused me to spiral and I jumped off the medication . I only took it for 9 days but still it was long enough for my body to become dependent on it. That’s why even after the bad setback or side effect . I had ten days of withdrawals where I felt more sick then I ever had and couldn’t sleep one bit. Finally I got through that and remembered I fell asleep on the floor. I woke up that day feeling like finally !! Finally ! The withdrawals are gone I can go back to focusing on my anxiety recovery. But it didn’t play out to much like that. I had two good weeks with symptoms of tension headache and eye twitches but responding correctly to them and continuing life. And after those two weeks the severity of the tension headache and eye twitches died down a lot. But funny thing is that now that they were lower in severity the fact that they were still there caused me to start to question . Is my brain damaged ? Did those 8 days of trazodone really have the ability to cause effects forever ? The intrusive thoughts started to come back. Now my tension headaches are gone but I have lightheadedness and feels like my teeth are pulling inward real tightly. And I get dizzy spells along with moments of derealization. Now I started falling back saying I need to go get an mri to just make sure it didn’t cause damage. Or maybe I need to get on a ssri or this or that. I had a ct scan and it’s normal . Still waiting on my mri but after watching this video it’s helping my mindset . Because symptoms can change with anxiety . I knew this , I’ve experienced it before . But I never had the sleep spells and derealization yet so it really through me off. This video reminds me to keep using what I learned to progress further. Not to keep telling myself that this is anything but anxiety. I’m gonna still get the mri because one the best way to get rid of the intrusive thoughts is to get it ruled out. But I got to remember that once I get the news there is nothing wrong , that to accept the doctor’s judgement and focus on the anxiety and my response to these symptoms again. I got to talk with OJ and I hope to be able to start the membership soon. If you could do a video on coming off meds and withdrawals and how to respond correctly during when your anxiety peaks again once you don’t have the band aide anymore . I would be so grateful
I was in the same place. I accepted that i would sometimes not be able to stop thinking, that i would not stop thinking about thinking, accepted that some symptoms even be real but only knew if they were real if i accepted them. It helped a lot for me. Hope you will too. It will go over i promise
@@kerizmarolle9710 What I started doing was identifying the symptoms and saying them out loud. So for me I would say out loud, "sweaty palms, cold sweaty feet, cant get the internal dialogue to slow down, palpitations starting." Then reassuring myself, saying out loud, "this is what we felt last time and we lived through it. I am not in danger. I am safe." and repeating it. Then go for a walk or something. Feeling cold outside helped me a lot for some reason.
When attacks come? Shaan teaches not to use coping strategies which nose breathing is one. And most people here have anxiety 24)7 not just random attacks 😊
I know why I had a panic attack and I somewhat know why I get anxiety what’s the next step from there? Intrusive thoughts and intense body sensation. It’s annoying as hell.
I was mad at many doctors for telling me I was ok when I had strong physical symptoms that Drs kept telling me we're ok, this is so Helpful for me to realize what I need to know ABOUT HOW TO BE ON A JOURNEY TO HEALING
Man you really blew up since I last had to watch your videos! (Hope you understand) and I love to see it. I’ve been living life and still to this day have so much I need to thank you for!
Yesterday I was happy and convinced myself I am normal and happy smiling doing my work than I had these thoughts if I rest and don't do anything then what happened is me feel more nervous 😭
This video helps me to look at my anxiety more seriously I always think that bad things are going to happen that is the type of anxiety I am struggling with can you please give me some tips on what to do
Shaan I love you. Truly. The way you detailed this. It made so easy for us to understand where we stand. If you can just elaborate on self developing part it would be Good. Thank you so much..
Hi Shaan Thank you so much for your videos, it has helped me so much to understand what the heck is going on I have realised not to constantly think about my symptoms and to just go with the flow, in saying that I’m a natural analyser I was doing so well the last few days and then yesterday I pondered on a stressful situation I had only for a few minutes and the rest of the day I had this sensation like I’m busting out of my skin and want to run away from myself, it’s a horrible feeling, it stayed with me all through the night, as I woke this morning I realise just to let it go and get on with life It feels like my nerves are so fragile, especially getting all these symptoms just from one thought I drove my car for the first time last week in over 6 months I was so proud of myself I realise I’m going to have ups and downs but to stay on course and just chill out Sandie
Started getting very anxious about a month ago and I believe it's because I start work for the first time on September 4th where I have to go hours away from home for four weeks
That's mean iam in the stage of acceptance and failure of acceptance because i accept and at the sametime i want symptomps to go away . I was asking myself why i stuck in the stage of acceptance 😅😅 but that was very depressing to stuck in this stage and don't know what is the cause . We wish someday you will make a test of questions for someone after finshing the test know whichbstage is he . Another wonderfull point i feel myself sometimes educated about my panic attacks but at the sametime i stuck and need help to continue . Thanks to you about thses wonderfull notes you give us and even us we forgot how many stages you mentioned 😅😅 ❤❤
I had Anxiety for an entire week, it came to me randomly and it left randomly, but it left me with the thought of what to do if it comes again, and how to deal with it, and it left me drawn out, also it left me with my frontal brain feeling numb and with this nauseous feeling.
I fell back into the cycle thinking i was going to have a heart attack and just like you said it was me just getting tricked by my thoughts and now that i understand that i will work on that response
Seek to improve your sleep Meditate twice a day Go to sleep at regular hours Read a book 30min-1hour before closing your eyes, it will ease your mind. You could take track of the good habits on a sheet of paper or excel program.
My husband is sailor I live alone and I have anxiety I just can't live in my own apartment I get very anxious I get panick attacks and my symptoms are so intense I don't know what to do.
Yes it is true me I start to forget what happened to me or to be more clear the reason of my Anxiety but the symptoms still with me and make me Anxious and suffering every day.
I am wondering the same. I had crazy symptoms in a matter of a month. 3 years later it is nothing like that month, but I get so many symptoms for about 2.5 weeks out of a month. The only break is the week after my period. But, now that I have skipped periods I have no idea. The monty I got really unwell, I had a traumatic event the month prior. ALong with lifelong trauma. It is so hard to figure out what is what.
me too! A few days ago, my body felt different, like something just left, and then boom! was suddenly hit with it again - but I realised it started with a thought - the doctor told me he would book a scan of my abdomen, just to check though he said if he thought there was anything sinister going on he would be straight up about it, and he said, 'glass half full - it's more to reassure you' (I've been through all of this before) - and after the post arrived and I wondered if it was my appointment (it wasn't), I thought but 'waht if ... ' and there ya go! Anxiety nausea etc rushes in like a tide! This video is great - It was the anxiety talking, not the facts!
it’s so hard to reframe and retrain all you’ve ever known. the mind can be intrusive but the body is protective. alerting us that we can work with it and then that allows our mind to follow suit. many people think it’s the opposite and it hasn’t worked. you’re not flawed, you’re just wounded. and healing requires patience and kindness with ourselves. easier said than done, i know. i hear you and i hope this helps 🙏🏼
I have recently (over the last 12-18 months) started to have some strange severe anxiety in certain situations. I never thought it was something I would have to deal with. I think I may have agoraphobia but it manifests in a very strange way. Anytime I am in a situation with people and can't easily get to a restroom I feel an intense urge to urinate even if I just went 5 minutes ago. That then turns into a panic feeling. I have some pretty serious back issues and a couple years ago it started affecting my bladder. I would suddenly have to urinate and feel like I can barely hold it. I had a microdiscectomy 3 months ago but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped the bladder issues. This issue has also now turned into an anxiety problem. I feel like I am going crazy. I feel incredibly embarrassed. Just today I had to go to church to watch a play that my daughter was in and the anxiety was unbearable. It was all I could think about. I had to get up twice during the service to go pee and felt very embarrassed. The time that I wasn't up and going to the restroom I was in a constant panic feeling like I was going to piss myself. I can't continue to live like this, but I don't know how to get over it. I have been taking Gabapentin and Robaxin daily for the back issues for about 2 and a half years. I feel like that may play a part, but coming off of the Gabapentin is quite difficult. I have cut my dose in half but it doesn't seem to change anything. If anything it may be worse now. The pain in my back has also started to flare back up flare in the last couple of weeks, but it is a different feeling pain than I had before. I also think that may play a role in the anxiety. I have been dealing with these issues for over a decade as it steadily got worse and finally did the "big thing" to make it better and I still have problems. When I am standing there in pain and feeling extremely fragile I also start to get the panic feeling. I think it is the fear of having to live my whole life in pain. I am only 36 and can't live with this much pain forever. Add this new anxiety on top and I am truly miserable. I feel lost and don't know what to do. I would have laughed at myself 5 years ago for feeling this way. I have always felt like I had an extremely strong mind and that people with anxiety couldn't really be suffering that bad. Now I know I was completely wrong about that. It is a serious issue that affects you in many more ways than just having a nervous feeling.
Hi I am jene I was pregnant with my daughter and had anxiety and panic attacks and had high blood pressure and my pulse was high and had a high heart rate they thinking whats going on I went for a heart scan they said everything is fine then I give birth I was fine after that didn't get it again my daughter is 10months now and it came back 😢I will be fine in the day time but at times my body feels not ok heart beats feel not ok but it gets my at night but it does not happen everyday or every night but it's still there but body feels shacking
Sometimes i feel like if this symptoms and problems are always with me then what will i do am i abnormal what happened suddenly i just lost interest in everything i just feel like questing my existence i don't feel excited anymore i feel like dying insidly i feel like i dont have goal even i want to be successful and healthy person don't wants ruin my studies bht what i can do i have only studies for my life but i just can't control these freaking emotions i am scared if it will keep make me sad and then i ruin my whole day without doing anything i want to be productive plzzzz I am 17 years old
Can the setback stage be literal years later. I forgot I had anxiety for almost 3 years. And these last 2 months I feel, Lalmost psychotic I’m so worried
Hi, I know this reply is late and I hope you see it. I had a mental break 2 weeks ago and I'm beginning my journey first thing I was taught is that the thoughts of the symptoms are the intrusive thoughts. You are okay and you are safe there is no that to you just breathe and relax don't let the symptoms get to you
@nickluttmann9208 yes I agree, I'm pretty much going back to normal, my journey is so fast, and the only symptoms I've got left are dizziness like feeling off balance, and dp/depersonalization, derealization stays with you for longer after you recover as Shaan states in alot of his videos, don't worry and don't give up stay consistent throughout your journey, make sure that you don't stop not caring about the symptoms and accept everything that comes your way, don't pay attention to them, don't get frustrated by them, and carry on what you were doing, go out and don't care about it you are safe, and if you don't have anything to do or have a setback just think of it as an opportunity to train your response, obviously don't think obsessively about your response, just act natural, talk to everyone, if you have weight loss and eating problems like I used to, go to the gym with friends, create a program, think about the gym, and what you are going to be putting on the program and worry about that not anxiety, I hope this helps because your very early on the journey and remember this is an up and down process, setbacks will come, and once you fully understand anxiety, stop completely reading about it, watching it, and most importantly the one I struggled with is to stop talking about the subject, just talk about your achievements. Hope this helps.
I wake up every day with a dread or feeling of doom. I never relax. I been on medication and have seen several therapist to no avail. I'm 70 and wonder if I will ever be ok.
I have had high stress for years and anxiety has started to effect my body. I have learned alot about myself and what i can do for me threw the following. I love sharing them because of what i have learned and continue to learn about my body and my inner self. Dr Jordan Peterson Andrew Huberman Susie Baxter Vegel Nerve reset (from being deregulated) And more as it customizes to what podcast your watching. This guy is new. They are all worth the time. Don't forget God. Read your Bible. Bless you and I hope you get as much out of it as I continue to.
I had hurt my neck and anxiety and panic took over and I’m slowly getting better now but I deal with health anxiety because I’m still dealing with a neck injury that I can’t afford to fix so I get head pressure and back pain daily so I feel I’m dealing with a double whammy
I was doing so well over the summer of 2023 and then new years comes around and I’m waiting for the ball drop when I feel my heart skip beats everytime I inhale. So I got nervous and had a panick attack and its been 22 days since ive been in the cycle. And i will get out of it sooner than later.
Hey when you inhale your heart naturally speeds up, i went through a cardiohobia phase for a long time im with you. Just wanted you to know you're not alone and in fact what you're experiencing is normal x
I once thought i had "fatal insomnia" lol Thing is ... My nervous system is so sensitived currently that I've convinced myself if i relax TOO much... When/if something serious DOES show up I'll miss it 🙄
hey there ! just wanted to say that I’ve been exactly where you’re at and it’s a tough place to be. earlier this year I didn’t do a great job at managing my ocd which led to a very deregulated nervous system and I began having trouble sleeping. I started trying to control my sleep and that started a whole set of problems. At times I became scared of not sleeping enough to then being scared of falling asleep lolll the mind can be so tricky. my sleep was so out of whack that naturally my mind made the huge jump and I was convinced I developed fatal insomnia 🤣 im laughing now but it was no joke for several months but I thought I’d share a resource that was a huge part of my recovery 🥹 I’d recommend listening to the sleep coach here on yt. his approach was so calming because it emphasized trusting in our bodies ability to regulate sleep as it was meant to do. he acknowledges the “efforts” or circumstances that can disrupt this system such as mental health, health complications or pregnancy etc. and walks the individual through it. There’s so many stories of ppl who have overcome their struggles and im sure they will put your doubts to rest little by little allowing for restful sleep. there are many ppl in his community who can relate to the fear of fatal insomnia and have overcome it, there’s a playlist I think on there that will ease your mind. wish you the best !
Same here! I get horrendous nausea, then the other day, something made me cry, and my stomach turned compelelty normal! I wish I could cry more often. I find it almost impossible to cry.

How long does anxiety take to heal?

Save this man at all cost😅. He understand anxiety and help other .
I am 95% recovered from anxiety. My resting heart rate is much better. I walk about 5-8k steps everyday and strength train 3-4 times a week. It feels like I have championed anxiety. I would never have thought I could feel this good again. Exposure worked for me a lot.
SAME
Recovered from anxiety but insomnia oh god its more frustrating that you can't sleep like you sleep before anxiety
If any suggestions give it to me?
The only thing that makes my symptoms "better" is working out when i feel my worst. Somehow, it all goes away. Its ao hard to get started when you feel so bad but once you do it, you feel incredible ❤️
Thanks for this tip… I’m goin to try it … I was at my worst but forcing myself to work out & it helped a bit
what kind of work out?
This is perfectly explained. Been there done that. Anixety and obession with so many themes but this is the ONLY thing which works. I am now almost laughing at some of the topics. People trust me...this method works and if you have a setback you re just cross it...
I'm not a religious person but Mathew 5:38-39 applies to anxiety perfectly.
Dude, over the last couple of years, you always seem to release a video that corresponds to my stage, it's uncanny 😂. But the last few months I've felt like I'm at the final stage, honestly I'm at the stage where I'm trying to recognize thought patterns and let thoughts just come and go, and my physical symtoms have all but faded away. I wanna say thanks man, I honestly don't know how you don't have millions of subs!
You will even stop recognizing these thoughts and patterns in next stage.🍻.you will not care about them.
It took me 1 complete year to go from 90 to 95%😂.last 10 % always takes little time j feel
@omikoch that's so right, I haven't had any type of panic or crazy shit in forever, just a couple lingering symptoms, it was discomfort after meals and stomach issues for the last year, now that's pretty much gone, and it's just the mental tug of war with stray thoughts.

God sent this video to me today. Thanks a lot sie
You are spot on!!! I love your reference to Dr. Claire Weekes. Her face float accept and let time pass approach is key. Your adrenaline releasing nerves are sensitized. This causes physical symptoms. You become afraid of the symptoms and the fear releases more adrenaline. Your stomach may churn, you may have shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, reflux, afib. It's adrenaline and fear. It's a viscious cycle.
Man God bless you, you have made me so happy. I cracked up with the mad cow disease but you are 100% right, Google and writing down what you feel is the worst thing you could possibly do.
Does anyone have driving anxiety!? I'm working on overcoming this and getting my life back. Let's keep going 🙏
Shaan has a couple videos on driving anxiety. I found them informative and helpful.
Yes, that’s exactly why I’m here
Same !!!! I need help with it
Omg yes. Working so hard to expose myself gradually and I am getting better but the anxiety hits hard whenever I think about a long journey or somewhere thst is new to me.
I have dizziness and I fell like Iam on a boat
thank you, you have opened my mind more and see what type of cycle i put myself in. That’s beautiful to me because its life ❤ i hope everyone the best recovery reading this.
This video literally explained my whole experience with anxiety- so powerful to hear this is not just me and clearly a common cycle if he’s been able to describe the whole thing and correctly
Hey I’m just someone who dealt with anxiety and to tell you that there’s one simple solution it’s not the best but what Shaan talks about is literally the only way as it’s letting go sometimes it feels worse and you just want to rest all day but instead just try to do minor things even if it feels awful to do something minor everyday and stay positive because the brain is what causes all this stress so instead stay control over your thoughts and mind and also if you’re struggling with sleep anxiety I suggest changing your sleeping schedule that’s what I did I sleep everyday at 9 p:m and wake up at 7 a:m also try working out or not exercise and listen to music and chill out with people I know it can be daunting being the only odd one but it’s okay try to relax enjoy life and please try not to panic to much as well “p,s sorry for the bad grammar still taking my ged”
Omg, you’re duplicating my life for the past 14 years. You hit the nail on the head about consistency which is what I have trouble with and yes when setback hits I go and look for different X, Y n Z which gets me more confused as to what I really should be doing. It all comes down to wanting control, perfection and being impatient. I can really relate to all that you’re talking about. Thanks for sharing and the advice.
These videos make so much sense. Ive suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for 30 years! The principles shaan discusses are starting to help me.
One thing that I noticed in my experience was that embracing the symptoms of anxiety is key, as he said, trying to listen to my body with love. Also, make the choices I need to make. What I realized was the the times I'd have most frequent panic attacks where the times I was postponing a decision, staying in a difficult spot and not being true to myself. It's about you and what has to be done and you just feel afraid of facing. Of course I'm not rejecting other causes and each person is different. This is what I learned about myself in my journey.
I'm obsessed with you! Everything you say is right onnnnnnnn, always, I am hoping I continue to make progress and get back to a normalish life. I feel like your videos will actually help me because the few I've watched have been impactful already!
This video is amazing man, thank you! Everyone struggling should watch this, understand and believe it! Know that recovery is possible, and as soon as you start educating yourself on recovery and trying to better yourself, you have begun!
I recently had a setback, after working really hard on myself and my acceptance. If was frustrating but I know it’s all part of recovery as per your video steps. I am rooting for every single one of you in the comments, and I know you will recover if you put in the work and ride out the journey!
I'm disgusted by what my anxiety and my brain has done to my life. I'm always anxious that it will all fall apart. It has ruined life.
I will pray for you. I've been struggling because I feel alone, some homeless man spit in my face through my car window in a city when I was going to work. I was crying and , I had to work, and my anxiety has gotten worse. I need words from other for help, or fucking shows or entertainment.
Don't give up. Be kind to yourself. Xxx
Thank you so much.. I am trapped somewhere and u helped me out to come out of it and give imp to my self worth.
Thank you from my ❤️
i appreciate this concept of separation from struggles and identity. i have struggled with high anxiety for as long as i can remember, and thus it was very easy for me to believe i'm just an anxious person, because i have been, all my life. being likely on the spectrum, i have wondered a lot about how my recovery journey might be different from others'. thanks to you and others, i have separated anxiety from my core being at least a bit compared to my past. it was mind-blowing when i realized i may be able to have a new identity/sense of self that isn't oriented around my anxiety or being a victim of my environment anymore. i'm excited to see where i can go, and no matter how my recovery looks, i do not want to see myself as a victim of life anymore. thank you Matt.
That is so true with Google. Google just increases the fear
Google gave me anxiety attacks 😢
appreciate your videos. thought of having setbacks as going back to square one, but hey it's a part of the stages. praying that everyone who is experiencing anxiety will be well. Sending virtual hugs to everyone.
hi are you better now?
this made me feel better and made me understand what i'm going through so much. it's like an assurance that I'll get there (recovery). thank you for this.
I’m in the acceptance stage. I’ve been fighting anxiety for the past 6-7 years. Doing Socratic questioning doing cbt journaling reading everything to lessen the anxiety and now I’m at the stage where I’m just like screw it I have anxiety and that’s that. Acceptance. I’m not going to fight anxiety anymore it’s honestly my whole issue with anxiety is I’m trying to beat it and lessen it, which is actually creating the problem in the first place.
Yes! I’ve had anxiety to some degree for over 20 yrs. At times, worse than others. I have agoraphobia and cannot do everything I want to do YET, but I have accepted that my life will be a journey like many others won’t ever understand. But hey, at least we can say our lives will never be boring😅 I no longer “fight” it like some kind of cancer I can completely exercise from my body; but I accept that sometimes it will be active and sometimes it will be in remission. I try to force myself into more exposure work when I’m having good times. Wishing you all the best on your growth journey.❤
@@Bayoubebewhats ur age?....i was a happy and confident soul until 26 years of age and suddenly i got a anxiety 1 week before my marriage ! I love my wife so much and I was too much nervous to live a life with her in real life along with my joint family...and I got a panic attack and my symptoms were my legs started shivering, heartbeat fast pumping, voice breaking and I got scared ! and it lasted 4 minute first time.....and also got it two times after the marriage ....is it because my major life changes?
@@chiragparmar1964 I am 42. I’ve had this issue since 16 yrs old. It’s not always bad, but I do remember it being hard at first, until you learn to navigate it. Yes, it’s just the high pressure and new changes to your circumstances. You are probably putting a lot of pressure on yourself to “be perfect”. A lot of us are also perfectionist and we get a lot of anxiety about possibly embarrassing ourselves. I had this happen after I had my daughter. I didn’t drive very far with her in the car, out of fear that I would panic and she would see me, or if something happened to me, she would be helpless. We just overthink everything. You need to be honest with your close love ones. Tell them you are struggling with a bit of anxiety and you would just like their love and support while you work through it. Hiding it makes it worse just like “fighting” it. The anxiety may no go away completely, but you will learn how to cope through it and it does get a lot easier with support. Best wishes to you, it’ll all be okay.
... the nausea and diarrhoea so bad taht you think you have some sinister disease ... (and when they say it's 'JUST" anxiety) - but it's JUST crippling. Wow! I love the way you describe just how sensitive the nervous system gets - when I try to explain that just seeing a (good) friend overstimulates me, it sounded a bit daft even to me, but that is how it is - I end up debilitated. I have to keep my life very quiet right now. I have been through this before, I can get through it again. I seem to have a cycle. I feel great so I take on too much - then I crash into severe anxiety and vow to be more sensible next time ... (I was diagnosed some years ago with complex ptsd, dissociative disorder and chronic GAD). Feeling well is like heaven :) Wishing everyone all the very well xxx This is SUCH an awesome video! Thank you so much!
I’ve been feeling like passing out for a year and a half. It has gone away couple times and always get setbacks to the point where I can’t sleep. The constant fear of the room spinning is just horrible. Doctors tell me it might be anxiety but they don’t tell me how to get help with it. I’ve gotten EKG, CT scan, Chest x-ray, just high blood pressure. But no medicine for that. Doctor said I was good. I’ll be okay for maybe a couple weeks and then out of nowhere it feels like my peripheral vision shakes and I get that fear of falling down. And getting out of it sucks. In my mind I try and accept that there’s nothing bad going on I’m not falling but it’s really hard to get out of…. 😢
I think you might have PPPD, which goes hand in hand with anxiety. Recovery techniques are the same as Shaan is saying. Look into The Steady Coach. She's a doctor who specializes in this and has an entire free course with some exercises to rewire your brain back to normal.
Bro, I feel you. Have same symptoms from time to time. We’ll get through this
You don’t have “PPPD” or any other label. You’re dealing with a sensitized nervous system and you’ve built a strong habit of panicking when you feel the sensations of dizziness and passing out. You MUST change your response to these symptoms. You need to let them be there, relax into them as best you can, and continue with your life regardless of how strong the symptoms are.
Jokes aside, if it looks like your peripheral vision is shaking and you've had this symptom OUTSIDE of a panic attack or anxiety it might be binocular vision dysfunction. Your eyes are not working together essentially, and many times it is confused with anxiety or panic attacks. A neuro-ofthalmologist would be the best person to evaluate your condition.
But if that's ruled out as well, then it's most likely anxiety-induced
hey there ! i feel for you and I know how much it sucks to be in that very position 🥺 In no way do I wish to invalidate your experience I wish only to provide a bit of peace of mind if I can. Earlier this year I had a hard time managing my mental health as I traveled abroad. My anxiety was so high due to mental compulsions I was taking part in constantly (I have ocd) I eventually started to experience dpdr. It freaked me out so much I started having really intense panic attacks and then wicked dizzy spells for the first time in my life. I’m talking seeing the ground move from under me and feeling like I’m gonna collapse if I get up from bed. im 23 and relatively healthy so it took me for a loop until I started putting the pieces together. i didn’t come to those conclusions on my own I owe a lot of it to online resources.(some I’d recommend are mark freeman, the sleep coach, peace from within) I realized my body was just extremely exhausted by all the stress I was putting it through unknowingly. It needed to rest. It needed care. it didn’t need me trying to find answers or trying to avoid the physical symptoms i was dealing with. no matter how hellish they were. Palpitations, racing mind, lack of sleep, dizziness, nausea, etc. It needed me to trust it to fall back into normalcy like it knows how to. It needed me to do nothing. these resources are gold I feel bc they emphasize this idea that despite how ugly things may get and (they were horrific for me and I’m sure you can relate )we do know how to return to balance bc our bodies and minds are made for it. idk it gives me peace of mind to think my body can work w me not against me. as I developed that mindset and left things alone my body very slowly began to relax and I was able to get back to living. I do experience dizzy spells still but only when I am stressed about something or falling into old habits. I hope you can find this to be useful. I’m wishing you the best ! you got this 💪🏼
I agree with this. It’s not the symptoms but how we respond to the symptoms.
Not a nice feeling 😢but listening to you make me understand now what I am going through because it is really scaring me alot
Hi Shaan, you’re the only one who truly understands what I’m going through. Whenever I feel down, I watch your videos, and they’ve helped me so much. Thank you for making such a positive impact on our lives. I’m still on the road to recovery, and whenever I feel like I’m falling back into the cycle, your guidance helps get me back on track. Thank you 🙏🏻 🤍
Holistically speaking Shan is the best web recovery coach. I’ve followed them all. But Shan system is the best. Acceptance and it’s stages then going into limiting beliefs.
This is worth gold. Hit the nail on every aspect. It was like someone could take a look into my mind. Thank you
I'm def in the setback stage.. Still focusing way too much.
It is hard to see how this journey is "beautiful" now, but I am on my way to recovery and identified with everything Shaan said.
I’m new to this channel but I can relate to every Shaan is saying. Anxiety and digestive issues, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, phlegm in throat, etc…. It’s like a crazy roller coaster. Which symptom will pop up today. Ugh! Sooo fearful and focused on every symptom…
Frustration and Anger, Depression! My Family does not want to hear it anymore…
When I’m busy symptoms seem to disappear but it can be the same day and I’m relaxing and here they come…
Am I the only one?
You're not the only one, been experiencing bizarre symptoms a year now
Read Paul David’s book….”at last a life” helped so much….anxiety free 2021 2022 but 2023 it’s trying to come back
IMHO the Bible on anxiety.
The best book ever
Read the book again friend. Maybe your brain needs the informations again
Depersonalization and derealization 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I'm starting to lose hope it has been a long time with this but I can't see any improvement
@VictoriaLeopard-ud1si have faith that you will improve. The solution is in your hands. Believe it or not, you will get better if you believe that it's possible.
Your videos are at the pinnacle of anxiety recovery. Can’t thank you enough for what you do.
I think I’m in a step between experiencing core confidence and being completely free.
I’m 8-9 months into the recovery journey and I feel better than I ever have in my life.
The setbacks can happen even after a period of experiencing core confidence. That’s what I’m working through now. These videos help remind me that it’s all part of the process.
How are you now ? Can you break down your time frame on what you did to overcome ?
Hey @Shaan Kassam I appreciate this video so much. As it reminded me to know what I’ve been doing wrong . I was accepting and responding correctly. And I hit set backs and went through them. But during that time I was taking Trazodone 50mg during that time . But then still to this day I don’t know if it was a side effect or just a reallly really bad setback. Anyways it caused me to spiral and I jumped off the medication . I only took it for 9 days but still it was long enough for my body to become dependent on it. That’s why even after the bad setback or side effect . I had ten days of withdrawals where I felt more sick then I ever had and couldn’t sleep one bit. Finally I got through that and remembered I fell asleep on the floor. I woke up that day feeling like finally !! Finally ! The withdrawals are gone I can go back to focusing on my anxiety recovery. But it didn’t play out to much like that. I had two good weeks with symptoms of tension headache and eye twitches but responding correctly to them and continuing life. And after those two weeks the severity of the tension headache and eye twitches died down a lot. But funny thing is that now that they were lower in severity the fact that they were still there caused me to start to question . Is my brain damaged ? Did those 8 days of trazodone really have the ability to cause effects forever ? The intrusive thoughts started to come back. Now my tension headaches are gone but I have lightheadedness and feels like my teeth are pulling inward real tightly. And I get dizzy spells along with moments of derealization. Now I started falling back saying I need to go get an mri to just make sure it didn’t cause damage. Or maybe I need to get on a ssri or this or that. I had a ct scan and it’s normal . Still waiting on my mri but after watching this video it’s helping my mindset . Because symptoms can change with anxiety . I knew this , I’ve experienced it before . But I never had the sleep spells and derealization yet so it really through me off. This video reminds me to keep using what I learned to progress further. Not to keep telling myself that this is anything but anxiety. I’m gonna still get the mri because one the best way to get rid of the intrusive thoughts is to get it ruled out. But I got to remember that once I get the news there is nothing wrong , that to accept the doctor’s judgement and focus on the anxiety and my response to these symptoms again. I got to talk with OJ and I hope to be able to start the membership soon. If you could do a video on coming off meds and withdrawals and how to respond correctly during when your anxiety peaks again once you don’t have the band aide anymore . I would be so grateful
I can’t stop thinking about my symptoms, and when I’m thinking I feel the symptoms
I was in the same place. I accepted that i would sometimes not be able to stop thinking, that i would not stop thinking about thinking, accepted that some symptoms even be real but only knew if they were real if i accepted them. It helped a lot for me. Hope you will too. It will go over i promise
@@victoribarbo2709 how to do this
me too
😉meditation before bed helps me--but I make sure I don’t fight or fear symptoms, I understand so much better from your videos
What r your symptoms
How can I not fight the symptoms or get scared when they start ? Because I keep trying but not working
Are, you or were on meds during the recovery?
@@kerizmarolle9710 What I started doing was identifying the symptoms and saying them out loud. So for me I would say out loud, "sweaty palms, cold sweaty feet, cant get the internal dialogue to slow down, palpitations starting." Then reassuring myself, saying out loud, "this is what we felt last time and we lived through it. I am not in danger. I am safe." and repeating it. Then go for a walk or something. Feeling cold outside helped me a lot for some reason.
Is itchy hair caused by anxiety?
I feel your talking about me. Thank you for what you’re doing.
The way I beat my Anxiety had it for 2 years is faith in God excepting anxiety and using nose breathing when the attacks come and back to normal
Love this bro!!
When attacks come? Shaan teaches not to use coping strategies which nose breathing is one.
And most people here have anxiety 24)7 not just random attacks 😊
@kristymeyers8415 that sounds like social anxiety you have you have to except it and learn to control them, then you will get them less and less
I always watch your videos when i have setbacks. I works everytime. Thank you.😊
I know why I had a panic attack and I somewhat know why I get anxiety what’s the next step from there? Intrusive thoughts and intense body sensation. It’s annoying as hell.
I was mad at many doctors for telling me I was ok when I had strong physical symptoms that Drs kept telling me we're ok, this is so Helpful for me to realize what I need to know ABOUT HOW TO BE ON A JOURNEY TO HEALING
Trying to actually get the help and rule stuff out in the first place when the doctors KNOW u have anxiety issues is crazy hard
Experienced the same journey. Well explained!!
Thanks bro
Just got my first pank attack last week,and it has been difficult to understand what happened to me
Guess my recovery journey starts now
How are you
Man you really blew up since I last had to watch your videos! (Hope you understand) and I love to see it. I’ve been living life and still to this day have so much I need to thank you for!
Yesterday I was happy and convinced myself I am normal and happy smiling doing my work than I had these thoughts if I rest and don't do anything then what happened is me feel more nervous 😭
you are amazing dude, a true hero. god bless.
This video helps me to look at my anxiety more seriously I always think that bad things are going to happen that is the type of anxiety I am struggling with can you please give me some tips on what to do
Shaan I love you. Truly. The way you detailed this. It made so easy for us to understand where we stand. If you can just elaborate on self developing part it would be Good. Thank you so much..

Hi Shaan
Thank you so much for your videos, it has helped me so much to understand what the heck is going on
I have realised not to constantly think about my symptoms and to just go with the flow, in saying that I’m a natural analyser
I was doing so well the last few days and then yesterday I pondered on a stressful situation I had only for a few minutes and the rest of the day I had this sensation like I’m busting out of my skin and want to run away from myself, it’s a horrible feeling, it stayed with me all through the night, as I woke this morning I realise just to let it go and get on with life
It feels like my nerves are so fragile, especially getting all these symptoms just from one thought
I drove my car for the first time last week in over 6 months
I was so proud of myself
I realise I’m going to have ups and downs but to stay on course and just chill out
Sandie
I think once you notice you see recovery that’s where you start feeling better
Started getting very anxious about a month ago and I believe it's because I start work for the first time on September 4th where I have to go hours away from home for four weeks
Mindfulness exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises!!! Try them.
hey, it's september 4th!
Thank you shaan, l have improvement. Staying consistent.
Thanks man
Yours and DARE anxiety channel has been really helpful 😊
That's mean iam in the stage of acceptance and failure of acceptance because i accept and at the sametime i want symptomps to go away . I was asking myself why i stuck in the stage of acceptance 😅😅 but that was very depressing to stuck in this stage and don't know what is the cause . We wish someday you will make a test of questions for someone after finshing the test know whichbstage is he .
Another wonderfull point i feel myself sometimes educated about my panic attacks but at the sametime i stuck and need help to continue . Thanks to you about thses wonderfull notes you give us and even us we forgot how many stages you mentioned 😅😅 ❤❤
how to take care doom, deppressed stages?
I had Anxiety for an entire week, it came to me randomly and it left randomly, but it left me with the thought of what to do if it comes again, and how to deal with it, and it left me drawn out, also it left me with my frontal brain feeling numb and with this nauseous feeling.
I fell back into the cycle thinking i was going to have a heart attack and just like you said it was me just getting tricked by my thoughts and now that i understand that i will work on that response
buddy u alright now?

7 stages. If its affecting your sleep and you don't feel rested how can you go back to living?
Seek to improve your sleep
Meditate twice a day
Go to sleep at regular hours
Read a book 30min-1hour before closing your eyes, it will ease your mind.
You could take track of the good habits on a sheet of paper or excel program.
My husband is sailor I live alone and I have anxiety I just can't live in my own apartment I get very anxious I get panick attacks and my symptoms are so intense I don't know what to do.
your channel is SOOO good! please keep going
Thank you! Will do!
This video was DAYUM helpful!!! Thanks a lot Shaan sir🙂
Yes it is true me I start to forget what happened to me or to be more clear the reason of my Anxiety but the symptoms still with me and make me Anxious and suffering every day.
My anxiety started when I was going through peri menopause, I don’t know if it’s hormonal. It sucks though
I am wondering the same. I had crazy symptoms in a matter of a month. 3 years later it is nothing like that month, but I get so many symptoms for about 2.5 weeks out of a month. The only break is the week after my period. But, now that I have skipped periods I have no idea. The monty I got really unwell, I had a traumatic event the month prior. ALong with lifelong trauma. It is so hard to figure out what is what.
I believe you. It’s horrible…. Would get physical symptoms every two three months and would go away and start again
Okay im ready to accept it. But is that what i gonna do forever in my life😢? That scares me as hell.
Yes yes , this is all I feel . Sometime I feel good for two weeks and then the symptoms one back again and it’s like ok why what’s going on .
me too! A few days ago, my body felt different, like something just left, and then boom! was suddenly hit with it again - but I realised it started with a thought - the doctor told me he would book a scan of my abdomen, just to check though he said if he thought there was anything sinister going on he would be straight up about it, and he said, 'glass half full - it's more to reassure you' (I've been through all of this before) - and after the post arrived and I wondered if it was my appointment (it wasn't), I thought but 'waht if ... ' and there ya go! Anxiety nausea etc rushes in like a tide! This video is great - It was the anxiety talking, not the facts!
Omg you get me! Experiencing the same thing! 😭
It just sucks that our bodies and minds are so flawed that it doesn't know the difference from real threat and no threat.
it’s so hard to reframe and retrain all you’ve ever known. the mind can be intrusive but the body is protective. alerting us that we can work with it and then that allows our mind to follow suit. many people think it’s the opposite and it hasn’t worked. you’re not flawed, you’re just wounded. and healing requires patience and kindness with ourselves. easier said than done, i know. i hear you and i hope this helps 🙏🏼
Our minds are flawed because of sin!
I love this video and it's so true. But I'm kind of shocked to see your mentoring program costs between 1500-5000.. :(
This is so accurate!!!
Keep up the good work your videos are amazing
I have recently (over the last 12-18 months) started to have some strange severe anxiety in certain situations. I never thought it was something I would have to deal with. I think I may have agoraphobia but it manifests in a very strange way. Anytime I am in a situation with people and can't easily get to a restroom I feel an intense urge to urinate even if I just went 5 minutes ago. That then turns into a panic feeling.
I have some pretty serious back issues and a couple years ago it started affecting my bladder. I would suddenly have to urinate and feel like I can barely hold it. I had a microdiscectomy 3 months ago but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped the bladder issues. This issue has also now turned into an anxiety problem.
I feel like I am going crazy. I feel incredibly embarrassed. Just today I had to go to church to watch a play that my daughter was in and the anxiety was unbearable. It was all I could think about. I had to get up twice during the service to go pee and felt very embarrassed. The time that I wasn't up and going to the restroom I was in a constant panic feeling like I was going to piss myself. I can't continue to live like this, but I don't know how to get over it.
I have been taking Gabapentin and Robaxin daily for the back issues for about 2 and a half years. I feel like that may play a part, but coming off of the Gabapentin is quite difficult. I have cut my dose in half but it doesn't seem to change anything. If anything it may be worse now.
The pain in my back has also started to flare back up flare in the last couple of weeks, but it is a different feeling pain than I had before. I also think that may play a role in the anxiety. I have been dealing with these issues for over a decade as it steadily got worse and finally did the "big thing" to make it better and I still have problems. When I am standing there in pain and feeling extremely fragile I also start to get the panic feeling. I think it is the fear of having to live my whole life in pain. I am only 36 and can't live with this much pain forever. Add this new anxiety on top and I am truly miserable. I feel lost and don't know what to do. I would have laughed at myself 5 years ago for feeling this way. I have always felt like I had an extremely strong mind and that people with anxiety couldn't really be suffering that bad. Now I know I was completely wrong about that. It is a serious issue that affects you in many more ways than just having a nervous feeling.
thank you really i’m grateful for you and to you and happy you exist
Love this this video, thank you for your content!!

Can the setback stage be literal years later. I forgot I had anxiety for almost 3 years. And these last 2 months I feel, Lalmost psychotic I’m so worried
You are just amazing broooooo ❤❤❤❤
What if I don't have intrusive thoughts, I've only got a couple symptoms, and the only thoughts I've got are about the symptoms.
Hi, I know this reply is late and I hope you see it. I had a mental break 2 weeks ago and I'm beginning my journey first thing I was taught is that the thoughts of the symptoms are the intrusive thoughts. You are okay and you are safe there is no that to you just breathe and relax don't let the symptoms get to you
@nickluttmann9208 yes I agree, I'm pretty much going back to normal, my journey is so fast, and the only symptoms I've got left are dizziness like feeling off balance, and dp/depersonalization, derealization stays with you for longer after you recover as Shaan states in alot of his videos, don't worry and don't give up stay consistent throughout your journey, make sure that you don't stop not caring about the symptoms and accept everything that comes your way, don't pay attention to them, don't get frustrated by them, and carry on what you were doing, go out and don't care about it you are safe, and if you don't have anything to do or have a setback just think of it as an opportunity to train your response, obviously don't think obsessively about your response, just act natural, talk to everyone, if you have weight loss and eating problems like I used to, go to the gym with friends, create a program, think about the gym, and what you are going to be putting on the program and worry about that not anxiety, I hope this helps because your very early on the journey and remember this is an up and down process, setbacks will come, and once you fully understand anxiety, stop completely reading about it, watching it, and most importantly the one I struggled with is to stop talking about the subject, just talk about your achievements. Hope this helps.
I wake up every day with a dread or feeling of doom. I never relax. I been on medication and have seen several therapist to no avail. I'm 70 and wonder if I will ever be ok.
I have had high stress for years and anxiety has started to effect my body. I have learned alot about myself and what i can do for me threw the following. I love sharing them because of what i have learned and continue to learn about my body and my inner self.

I had hurt my neck and anxiety and panic took over and I’m slowly getting better now but I deal with health anxiety because I’m still dealing with a neck injury that I can’t afford to fix so I get head pressure and back pain daily so I feel I’m dealing with a double whammy
My mind really opened up with this video, plus reading your free book while listenin, ima try to make a plan!
Thanks so much for this
I was doing so well over the summer of 2023 and then new years comes around and I’m waiting for the ball drop when I feel my heart skip beats everytime I inhale. So I got nervous and had a panick attack and its been 22 days since ive been in the cycle. And i will get out of it sooner than later.
Hey when you inhale your heart naturally speeds up, i went through a cardiohobia phase for a long time im with you. Just wanted you to know you're not alone and in fact what you're experiencing is normal x
Breathing problem breathlessness continue 10 month 24/7
Same. I get panic attacks daily and have breathing problems 24/7

I once thought i had "fatal insomnia" lol
Thing is ... My nervous system is so sensitived currently that I've convinced myself if i relax TOO much... When/if something serious DOES show up I'll miss it 🙄
hey there ! just wanted to say that I’ve been exactly where you’re at and it’s a tough place to be. earlier this year I didn’t do a great job at managing my ocd which led to a very deregulated nervous system and I began having trouble sleeping. I started trying to control my sleep and that started a whole set of problems. At times I became scared of not sleeping enough to then being scared of falling asleep lolll the mind can be so tricky. my sleep was so out of whack that naturally my mind made the huge jump and I was convinced I developed fatal insomnia 🤣 im laughing now but it was no joke for several months but I thought I’d share a resource that was a huge part of my recovery 🥹 I’d recommend listening to the sleep coach here on yt. his approach was so calming because it emphasized trusting in our bodies ability to regulate sleep as it was meant to do. he acknowledges the “efforts” or circumstances that can disrupt this system such as mental health, health complications or pregnancy etc. and walks the individual through it. There’s so many stories of ppl who have overcome their struggles and im sure they will put your doubts to rest little by little allowing for restful sleep. there are many ppl in his community who can relate to the fear of fatal insomnia and have overcome it, there’s a playlist I think on there that will ease your mind. wish you the best !
Hey have you gotten better since?
But when i cry. I felt relieved
Same here! I get horrendous nausea, then the other day, something made me cry, and my stomach turned compelelty normal! I wish I could cry more often. I find it almost impossible to cry.
