@Alafasy3mashallah sheik , i wuld advise making salah with someone because at first it can also be extremely scary to make salah alone dizzy and short of breath heartbeating hard in salah lumo in your throat ... But afterwards youll see when you break down and the Qur'an goes through the heart , youll realise how much uv been fearing and holding onto and that u need to let go because allah is in control and all you have to do is believe and start staying away from bad things that make u feel guilty... Then ull be free and salah will be a daily refresh on your anxiety it will still be there bt salah will manage it
As someone who has recovered from anxiety and gets it only occasionally i can say nothing helped me , i tried even searching online , going to hospitals What truly helped me was acceptance, accept that i am a human and this emotions are part of life , its not an emergency
Can you fully recover from panic attacks cause I feeling the same exact way he felt in the beginning.i recently started having panic attacks and I just miss the little things I use to do before everything.i miss waking up happy and not worrying about anything.but I feel like when I recover I will appreciate t one things even more and want to do better in life.i just don't know how to beat it
Excellent comment... Good helps immensely. However, not all anxieties are rooted in the same cause. Trauma and anxiety /emotions also store in thy body as trauma... So, although not being alarmed by the symptoms helps immensely... It won't ultimately heal and break the cycle. This has been my experience anyway.
I'm struggling so bad every minute of the day almost I feel something wrong in my mind and body like I'm about to drop dead, even a breeze of wind or feeling in my shoulder or anything will make me think oh no this isn't right and that something bad is going to happen. My chest is constantly in pain and when I get stressed it gets worse. I keep convincing myself I'm going to die from a heart issue I have been to the hospital and had full blood tests twice and all came back healthy but a week goes by and it starts again and I'm thinking have they missed something or has something new developed. It's eating me alive. I feel uneasy and nervous and worried all the time my mind is going off on its own. What do I do 😭😭
Warriors you have to surrender to conquer Anxiety. Anxiety is a demon that wants you to fight him but when you let your Anxiety bark and pay no heed to it, it will be gone forever.
This is so true. Im on my way to recovery. This channel definitely made me understand whats going on. Exercise, healthy food, water, sleep, read, rest, laugh, love, family, friends, nature, meditation.
How to cure this or make this better please help.. I don't know what's going on with me I am just sinking inside something I have no idea about it's really getting difficult I have a exam in two months I tried my best to ignore it but as each passing second it's growing and I couldn't ignore it I feel like the spark in me is dead I was great in studies without doing much hardwork but now I am working hard still can't get basic things help
I am freezing with chills. This is EXACTLY my story. My story started in 2018 and I am now recovered. Full blown DPDR for over a year and only once I let go did I start to recover. With my growth mindset I kept tackling bigger and bigger goals to tame my anxiety. I don’t believe there’s anything I can’t handle now. Thank you for sharing 🙏 And to anyone thinking they will never recover. I was there. Every morning. Every night. “I can’t live like this anymore. It won’t go away” Yes it will. You will recover. Stop the negative thought loops and give in. You will start to heal, I promise.
Thanks for sharing I been having bad anxiety for the past week and a half and it’s mostly about random stuff or thoughts that don’t make any sense to be honest? I have watched a few Drs on here and they said to compare Fears to Facts and change you thinking and how to cope with them, they also said Facts gives you the ultimate power because if the facts can’t hurt you! Act on the facts not fear and accept anxiety The Drs also said to face your fears it helps. I’m trying to keep an opened minds and I will LET GO! I’m curious what kind of things did you do to help with your anxiety? I’m very happy for you I hope to hear back from you. 👍🙏💪
I cried watching this video. This is exactly what happened to me and I still have those symptoms till this day. Muscle pain and fatigue are the worse.. I was in denial for a long time thinking there is something wrong with me. May Allah help me and grand me full recovery. Stay safe whoever reading this. You are not alone.
i have social anxiety because of hyperhidrosis which means i sweat a lot, when im in public or interacting with people, i always aware of being sweating. When the little sweat came out from my face, the panic kicks in, my heart rapidly beating, my neck is hard, feel uncomfortable, and the worse is, i am begin to sweating more and more until i look like people who taking shower. Can u imagine that, in calm situations only me that sweat like taking bath, i am quitting organization, and the worse, i can't even go to mosque near my house, i used to be go to mosque every day, but in another mosque i doing fine, maybe because i dont know any people in there. My mind is full of reading other people mind. I think they see me weird, gay, drug addict, pedofil, big sins. I dont even smoke at all, touch alcohol, and never have gf. I dont do any of that at all but why i "look" like them, even the people who do that doesnt even look like that. I pray for my cureness every day though, i cant tell anybody that i have this issiue, even at my parents because i dont think they will understand the situations. The only hope is from Allah SWT. If Allah dont help me, my future carrer will be disaster😢
@@hinashahid1907 Hey Hina! Yes, I know what your going through It’s very scary I know, but you have to realize, no matter what panic attacks cannot hurt you at all physically, so when you feel those physical symptoms its just your body processing the excess adrenaline, allow it to come and go like your in the waves on the beach and the water will calm
Me too having anxiety is a living hell I'm crying rn watching this video I pray that I'll go away by the grace of our lving God Nd shares my story and how God heals me one day... And I hope and pray that that day comes very soon from now. Because I'm so fed up of having,/dealing with this... Lord please heal me.🥺😭🥲🥲
How has he helpd you. All he talked about were symptoms and no solutions. He put together a 15 min infomercial to buy his couse. Did you take the cours did it work?
I’m half way into the video!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME last year!! I’m even scared if I watch this video till the end, it will trigger again. But I know I can’t run away from my fears anymore and I have recovered greatly, so I will continue and watch the entire video. Apart from this, I also want to say is that I’m so glad that I’ve made it this far. Thanks to god, my parents and myself who kept fighting! Anyone who is facing this, please be strong, if you are strong and keep fighting I promise you will come out of this. You have no idea but you are the strongest force your family has ever seen! God bless you!
Now the only anxiety I have to overcome is my exam fears. I am stuck with my exams, I’m not able to sit and give a single exam, just because I have the fear of failing, this cycles into more stress and frustration for me, which keeps me unhappy, only I can experience this pain no one else can. My family only knows that I have fear of exams, they don’t even know that I haven’t even appeared for my papers yet, but I promise I will climb this mountain up again! Will get back up no matter what and will win this for my parents and myself. If not, I will surely do something in life which will make them proud one day! Thank you mom and dad for your support.
@@daarshanpatelldon't worry bro , exam is just part of life , i complete my 3 year graduation in 6 year 😅 many problems like depression, joblessness, future problem, age turning 29 many mental illness but still living life and give time for change , life is like river need flow to meet ocean 🙏 hope for you and all the best brother
Here's what everyone should know: Stop trying to fix it and focus on what your value in life. Do that with courage, and you will get better. The reason the panic and anxiety persists is because you are trying to fix it and avoid it. By trying to fix and avoid, you are letting your brain know that there is indeed something dangerous to avoid. Your brain learns, and will now (being the survival device that it is) very helpfully look out for these dangerous things even more and sound the 'alarm' even faster. Resulting in more anxiety and more panic, with increasingly severe symptoms. Again: focus on what you value. You value friendship, or kindness? Good. Now however anxious and panicky you feel, you can still practice friendship and kindness. Just take the panic and anxiety with you, let it be there. You brain is just trying to protect you. Focus on what you value, do valued actions and show your brain what is actually important to you. This works.
In my experience, your environment is one of the biggest factors that cause anxiety. Great video, takes balls to be vulnerable and talk about this to the world bro!
As a person that has had panic attacks and anxiety and recovering from it. I would give you a hug because we are not alone and if I were to cry it would be tears of joy my brother. Whoever is seeing this message and is going through this uncomfortable moment, (YOU ARE NOT ALONE!) it’s gotten me closer to God and I am feeling the best I’ve ever felt in a long time.
I’m finding my way out. The symptoms are still here but less. It’s been two months, my way to handle it is when it comes, focus on the sensations and feel them, do not fight them or fear them, and keep working and do what you do. I’m looking forward to a full recovery. I think we’ll all be fine, maybe not today, not tomorrow, but one day, we’ll be fine.
@@ASHH2005We definitely will. I’m still feeling tightness in my chest when I’m sleeping, but no panic attack or other serious symptoms. But I think it will go one day. We will all be fine and free. I know I can do it, so can you.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict and micro dosing has done wonders for me. I don't take it to trip just take it for my mental health and it helps me tremendously
we all start by a panic attack then we have those physical symptoms , we start consulting many doctors and nothing wrong we panic more , while we're having derealisation and depersonalization we barely can talk since we're not here ,we're anxious about our anxiety then it turns to depression it's a whole cycle and still struggling with anxiety while depression is ok it's a whole world this anxiety
Personal experience on how I successfully overcame my anxiety: It's a cycle of thought --> emotion (what you feel) --> thought --> emotion (what you feel) .... First you need to differentiate between these two. Because dealing with one is different from dealing with the other. Since it's a circle, you must break one of these, but you can deal with both. Dealing with the thought(s) is more important. The circle (your anxiety) does not disappear instantly. But it becomes weaker every time you manage to break one element of it. 1. Regarding the emotions you might search for breathing techniques or methods to cause physical pain to lessen the feeling. And remember the emotion (= physical, what you actually feel when anxiety manifests itself) is not the same as the thought which triggered the emotion. You cannot fight the emotion itself or run away mentally without making things worse. But what you can do is to face the emotions which means to become aware of your bodily symptoms and accept them voluntarily. Your emotions cannot (!) force you to fight them mentally (= with your thoughts). That’s how the chain between emotion and thought can be cut by refusing to fight the emotion after having had the thought. 2. Regarding the thoughts themselves: Your thoughts can become an inner circle if you start catastrophising. Catastrophising should be interrupted right at the start and must not be thought through till some presumed result is found which falsely promises inner peace if you act according to it. How do you do it? Do not try to not think about it because that does not work. Instead, think about something else something that distracts you very easily (for instance, in my case that’s the latest football news). And now back to 1.. And remember, the anxiety circle doesn’t disappear instantly, but it becomes weaker every time focus on 1. or 2.. Your anxiety will steadily decrease by time, might take you days, weeks or months. But it works if you stick to it. You are in control: Your fear cannot force you to fight it. “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1. John 4:18, highly recommend the entire 4th chapter) “God is love.” 1. John 4:16 Important: Your emotions cannot (!) force you to fight them mentally (= with your thoughts). That’s how the chain between emotion (1.) and thought (2.) can be cut by refusing to fight the emotion after having had the thought.
Because of sleep paralysis i feared that i am alive or not ? I am in coma or not? This is my same life or another life? What if i am dead because of sleep paralysis?

I am ocd patient and sleep paralysis gives me alot of doubts and fears and more ocd...how to convince myself or these all are ocd symptoms itself and vanished all itself according to time or healing? What is that i am alive or sleep paralysis caused death to me?😭😭
@@Blessed-qg2kb Hey friend, please go to a doctor! That being said, the following might help you understand the core of your problem. What fear has to do with love: Apart from this, the following might help you to understand - if you do know already - what perfect love means and what it has to with the nature of fear. Love in a divine sense is truly unconditional. Fear is always conditional. The one who fears thinks conditionally. "If X happens, it might cause Y to happen." X is the possible condition for Y. You're so afraid of Y that you'll act irrationally to avoid X. But why is it irrational to try to avoid X so hard if it minimizes the risk of Y. It is irrational because there is not only one Y. There are so many things we can lose. In fact, everything in this world is transient, everything fades at some. And this is the point where the beauty of love comes in. Which is truly unconditional from all eternity. Again, Christianity is really about the idea that: "God is love." 1. John 4:16 Love is not only what God is like, it is who he is. Love only exists in communion, in relationship. Therefore, God by his very essence must be something like a relationship of love. The love between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit. One in being/essence, three in person. In our human experience, perfect love seems to manifest itself when we give to others willing the good of the other. It is truly unconditional. Unconditionally giving. And here is God becoming man, living the perfect - sinless - life, taking all punishment upon himself and dying the most dreadful death one can possibly imagine sothat we might be saved. What more could one give - how could one give more unconditionally? Love is who he is. In Thomas Aquinas' words, God is 'ipsum esse per se subsistens'. Being itself subsisting. The sheer act of being. Love. That is what we see in the first books of the bible to our salvation in Jesus Christ. From the God who gives by creating, from the burning bush which was not consumed by its flames of self-giving love, to Pentecost. Then, "what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on their heads" - the Holy Spirit. God is love. :) And through Jesus we are invited to join this relationship of love - to become one with the one who is love. By surrendering our lives and our worries to the one who has overcome fear and death for once and for all. This is how we can evade the conditions of this world thereby the condition of fear. I really hope you give love a chance - even though the advice might not be as practical as the first one above. All the best :)
@Joh-jf5kc hi, I realised yesterday, that going outside and sitting on the grass near a forest with my dog and mum helps, everytime I start feeling anxious, which is your body going into fight or flight mode, so if I just do breathing exercises everytime I feel it alot and go outside, because I really felt a difference after I came back home, It should get better? If you've got something to add or tell me please do, it will help me.
Is it possible to get out of this disorder?Im a Christian and praying for my deliverance for many years.I’m 57 years old female suffering from hypochondria.
@@mercyshanthi9555 Hey there! I replied the following to another comment. I pray it helps you as well, I made some changes for you at the end: Hey friend, please go to a doctor!

Because through Jesus we are invited to join this relationship of love - to become one with the one who is love. "For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.", as the early Christians put it. By surrendering our lives and our worries to the one who has overcome fear and death for once and for all. Surrender to the one who is love, who will always love you - no matter what you think, feel and fear. If there is one thing I learned in my life, it is that he loves all of us uncondtionally. He never gives up on us. He never gives up on YOU. Letting yourself be loved by Jesus changes everyhing. Truly trusting in his unconditional and most personal love for you. No thought can take that away from you. This is how we can evade the conditions of this world and thereby the condition of fear. All the best :)
I experienced panic attacks for the first time a few months ago. I started feeling very dissociated from my surroundings. It was a very debilitating experience and I remember thinking I was all alone in the world and no one could understand what I was experiencing. I thought it’d last forever. I’d constantly compare myself to the past version of me, who didn’t deal with anxiety. Fast forward a few months & I’ve been able to bring my life back almost to normal. I still feel dissociated & anxious from time to time, but I know that it’ll pass. So to anyone that’s going through anxiety and feels like there’s no end to it, give it time. Better times are ahead. I know it’s hard to feel that way from the mind space that you’re in right now, but find peace in the fact that there will be times when you feel at bliss once again. Here’s a tip though- Don’t self diagnose and create more anxiety for yourself by scrolling through comments on social media & google articles. Back then, I had convinced myself that I had a severe anxiety disorder and DPDR just because of comments I read online. The best way to deal with anxiety, is through therapy and a good support system.
Hey, it's really nice to see someone who is recovering from whatever thing bothering 🫶🏻. I just want some help, I think I've Derealization cause and have a constant headache all the time and I'm very anxious about everything. I just want some help to be back to normal. Can you help me cause you've been in this before?
Thank you so much for this comment. As I said in my first comment for this video, it's so comforting knowing people have recovered (or are in the process of doing so) from these particular symptoms. Posts like yours truly do lift my spirits and hope. 😊
Sean, not only do you give us tools.. but you give us HOPE! When I was feeling dp/dr and in a panic, you were the only one who explained its mechanism. I’m now 95% recovered and starting to feel more and more like myself again. Only this time, a much better version! Some days are still shaky but I now have the tools and faith to keep going. I feel my full recovery just right around the corner and I’m so thankful that I’ll be able to look at this part of my life as not traumatic anymore but as a hard temporary time in my past that I’ve triumphed! Keep going friends, victory is yours!

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ALL THESE FEELINGS WILL PASS AND GO :))
This is literally the best knowledge to overcome this anxiety I’ve been to all kinds of doctors. Seems like my symptoms are getting worse but the challenge for me right now is when am I going to realize that nothing is wrong with you and when am I going to except the challenge with these feelings.
Damn ,That's so me .I rushed to the hospital yesterday to do an ECG 😂,It was normal .It's been 4 years and I'm struggling with this demon .I'm 32 and feel like in my 70s.Thank you for making and uploading this video.
I feel like part of me recovered but not fully. I just barely feel the anxiety now. Even when i get those intrusive thoughts, i brush it off quite easily now. I just never acknowledge the anxiety even if my mind is screaming loudly at me. All I've really done is more working out, more sleep, write in my journal regularly and meditation. I can't say this enough! Meditation for me is the best thing ever! It really saved me from going completely mental and i mean that. I have health anxiety so every odd body sensation would drive me completely crazy and it would literally make me believe that i was dying. It was like this for me since 2020 but then i finally said to myself. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! And so this is how i started becoming more consistent with my journey to improving and bettering myself. As I've said previously i don't think I'm completely healed just yet but I'm most definitely in a much better position than i have ever been in my whole life. All you need to do is to keep at it and keep being as consistent as you possibly can and do NOT give up! 💯 💪🏽 you got this, friend 😊
Thankyou so much for your comment! I am also struggling with health anxiety, like I can't even feel the reality I am so worried about my health that what if my symptoms turned out ..ugh.....😢...I had a dream also about my health like oh ya u have something bad with ur health I was shivering. ...I literally need someone who can understand this .... For me only that person can understand who has been through this 😢.. Again thanks!
TLDR: no answer given, just a promo for his online program that promises to help. Don’t watch expecting for any tips to actually recovering, there are none.
Oh god…this is so relatable….I was still confused about what was happening with me even after so many doctors visit…. After so many searches on internet I found this….Thank you so much for posting this….
Omg I’ve never seen anyone else have the same anxiety of schizophrenia or bipolar. This was a fear of mine for months, probably the darkest time of my whole life. I’ve had that obsession twice and the second time I completely shut myself from the world for the fear of losing control or having a panic attack. I started questioning my reality and listened to see if I would hear any voices or see any hallucinations. It got so bad that I would start dissociating and then that was my “proof” I was crazy. I saw you had that written down and it made my heart happy for the first time in a while. Definitely subbing!
I don't know who you are or where you are. I just know that you touched my soul and each and every word in this video deeply resonates with me. I'll keep in touch with you to make something great together and I want you to tanks from the deep down of my heart for the hope, trust, and motivation you give out there in the world. God bless you guy!
I literally got an EKG because I thought it was something wrong with my heart and their was nothing wrong.Anxiety really would have you thinking you’re going insane.I’m luckily im recovering gradually.Thanks Shaan
Felt like someone is there who experienced the same and understand the exact feeling and suffering. This video just gave me a strong will power to overcome anxiety. Not feeling alone now❤️
Goodness!!! It's been 6months and my panic attacks and rapid heartbeats have been haunting me;Thinking something was definitely wrong tho I get them not so much lately but this has given me so much education! Thank you!Keep preaching this
This resonates a lot with me. Mirroring a lot of my life story. I had insomnia as a teenager and I've always been a night owl. Later in life I was diagnosed with M.S.. I tried to fight it, but I kept having relapses roughly every 2-4 months. I got on medication after a little less than 2 years after my first M.S. attack. I stayed on medication for close to a decade. I finally decided to stop fighting it and stopped taking medication. Things are not great now, but i feel a bit better because I am not as much of a leach on society. I'm still looking for answers and things that can help. I have been watching videos about community and the lack of it in modern society! Best of luck to you Shaan!
I am so thankful I came across your channel… your story is literally how I have felt the past few years with anxiety. So many doctors - saying “your fine”. But symptoms keep coming, and make you feel like your going crazy. I’ve always felt alone in this but this had given me great hope 🙏🏼
Due to all your information I now recognise I had panic attacks in my early 20's, my hair fell out and I was put on pills to slow my heart rate (which I took for 2 weeks due to fear). I cut down my working days and made sure I didn't get overloaded because I had heart problems. I've continued to have heart problems, countless ECGs, I weirdly have a low heart rate, even during a panic attack, which thunders irregularly and has a weird squashy. feeling. I'm now 60 and have just been diagnosed with Anxiety! What a life changer it would have been if this had happened 35 years ago. You are helping so much and many of us are relying on you ❤ because doctors and health specialists are overwhelmed with Covid. Thank you so much.
Im so grateful to watch this im in the process of fixing myself i always cry and wanted to go to the doctor lately but nothing happens i can't even sleep im scared in my health I'm scare to sleep because I feel like im dying but seeing this video gives me light to go back normally in my life and focus and dream bigger i know in time soon we will all be okay no more Doubt and just more on pushing ourselves to bring back our normal life thank you so much for showing us not to give up and face second chances and live life of full happiness I was goosebumps to watch it because i understand myself more now thank you so much LET'S ALL TOGETHER HEAL AND LIVE NORMALLY WE ALL DESERVED TO LIVE LIFE HAPPY ❤
Awesome video Shaan! You and your Facebook group have really helped me get through the toughest months of my life. There really is freedom through acceptance.
@@byebyepanic can you and anyone explain how Shaan recovered from anxiety i mean did Shaan exercise deep breath medication what did he do? ......Also where can i contact you Shaan?
Today I came across this video & I totally agree to what he said. I went through the same thing but now I'm in a better place than before. There are few points I would like to mention that helped me personally during those attacks: 1. Accept that you are going through something & tell your mind "This will pass & you are not going to die". 2. You can remind yourself that how the last time you felt the same way, but then you came out of it, so this time too you will be fine(you won't die;) 3. Talk to your friend/ any person who can divert your mind or make you feel better and if you have no one to talk to, talk to yourself(positive self-talk) , trust me, you will feel better. 4. Don't force yourself to feel better soon, take as much time as needed, don't try to control it, just let it be, think something good(for e.g. what you're going to do the next day) 5. Don't be afraid of it, know you're more powerful than your thoughts, treat those thoughts as a bad person who is trying to harm the good person i.e. YOU. 6.Have a routine for each day & try to follow it, it will keep you engaged and in your list don't forget to add something that you love doing, basically, your soul food. It may take months and even years to recover, so don't be upset, give yourself the time needed. It won't just go away suddenly, you'll learn how to deal with it & once you see the reality, someday you'll realize that it has gone, having said that, it doesn't mean you'll never face it again, you may or you may not but the time span will be less(since now you know how to deal with it) & it won't have the same effect in you as it did before. In short, You are no more afraid of the "fear" now.
I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without SSRI medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@ohmakure4716 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
Shaan the support of your family i cant bent enough of how important that is . Your channel has been helping me so much. I'm currently reading your report and everytime I feel a bit anxious I read your report .so thank for this and all the help you're giving 🙏
I actually knew all the way it was anxiety, but the symptoms just freaked the hell out of me, so I was constantly afraid of having those feelings again. And by living in fear, I stopped doing many things in my life and just succumbing into anxiety. The past 3 years were a hell to me, as nothing any therapist or psychiatrist could do to help me. Not even the medications were working well. Until I started watching these kind of videos about 2 weeks ago and started changing my mind about it. Really started to face my worst fear. I saw results immediately. I’m still recovering, but I’m glad I finally get to have hope again and see a way out of this 🙌🏻
@@notoriousosc1669 Thanks for the support! There are good days and bad days, but still I can feel the improvement. Meditation and mindfulness have been of great help whenever I get super tense and detached
@@lililucena22 - ahhh , I’m just tryna see if someone else with like anxiety had that. Lately I’ve been like really twitchy and get really weirded out almost thinking somethings wrong with me or I got some wrong with my head or body nerves, I get super twitchy and my neck moves fast when I’m close up to someone or talking / eating in public etc. try to avoid Public :(
This story is so relatable❤...this problem is so bad 😢 no one understands the fear we face and they believe we are just overthinking... accepting its anxiety helps but it returns to haunt you without warning

Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t know what was happening to me when I started getting panic attacks last summer. I thought I was going crazy because I had never had anxiety before. Now 8 months later, I am finally feeling back to normal, not 100% yet, but getting there. Acceptance really works! It’s not easy, but there is no other way out.
This is amazing, I really relate to this and this is hope for those going through it. Anxiety is a demon in itself, the trigger point can be pulled instantly over the tiniest of things and you don't have to be sad to be anxious it just happens and often we don't know why. Some situations don't require words to explain. I set up my channel using my passion for dance to reach out to others with anxiety and autism. The mind likes to play tricks on us, it is lovely to watch something you can relate to. It is right that no one knows what you go through unless they experience it themselves.
Man I can’t tell you how much this relates to me. Mine all started in 2022. I was in the army for 6 years once I got out I became a cop. I was on night shift we just had a new baby boy and I wasn’t sleeping much at all. I had my first panic attack one evening before my shift and once that happened everything went down hill. I started to have panic attacks constantly and stopped eating. I was so damn scared but I didn’t know what to do. I was supposed to be strong and be a man as a veteran and a cop. Fast forward a year and a half later. I still struggle with anxiety but my medication has helped allot and I want to just keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
Amazing video. Currently suffering anxiety for a year, main symptoms are muscle twitches, hot flushes, chills, had heart palpations etc. Great video and certainly at the start of recovery..long way to go !
Hi Shaan , at the moment my son is going through. My heart is broken to see him😢 like this. I am really praying to God that he gets better. Thanks for your story and your recovery.
Sometimes it seems that we would almost prefer to have a physical rather than a mental problem as it can be seen, so it can be treated and, if we are lucky, receive tender, loving care from someone/anyone. Looking from the outside at a handsome young man, it is understandable that someone/anyone might never imagine the struggle and pain that was within you. I am so happy that you have moved on from your struggle and pain, at least for now sir. Of course there are always challenges to face in life but, having had your experience, perhaps you will be stronger and more prepared to tackle them than you might have been previously without them. I wish you blessings and peace
When I was struggling with anxiety, I wished it was something physical - BC anxiety gave me the impression that it meant something was wrong with me as a person. Looking back, I’m so lucky it was just anxiety
@@byebyepanic From what I have heard and seen of you there is nothing wrong with you as a person at all! You are trying and succeeding to help people so you are a compassionate, experienced teacher. The world values you very much.
This is exactly my story on the dot! Mine begin early 2022 and I’m still dealing with a bit of it. I went from being pretty out going to just wanted to stay at home. I was scared to go out because I felt that I would get a panic or anxiety attack. I visited many doctors, took so many medical tests and everything came back normal. I insisted that there was something wrong with me. I felt pain in every part of my body, every joint, head to toe to the point where I was really depressed. I felt like all the doctors were against me and why wouldn’t they tell me what’s wrong. I am slowly recuperating but now dealing with bad gastrointestinal issues which I believe all from the stress and anxiety has left me. Thank you for your video and for letting me know that there’s hope and light at the end of the tunnel.
I am currently in the exact same boat, mine is currently getting beyond out of hands, I am having panic attacks everyday, crying constantly every single day, not a single day goes past where I don't cry due to high levels of nervousness, fear, anxiety and very much so intense emotions and terrible nerves. I am so begging for that light at the end of the tunnel, I don't know what to do and I feel beyond hopeless, if anyone has cures please help, thnsks ❤❤
@@sanjeebbhandari3122 Thankyou so very much, I appreciate it more then you know, wishing everyone out there nothing but lovr peace, strength, happiness and abundance, much lovr everyone ♡♡♡♡
I NEVER SAW THIS VIDEO AND I WATCHED HUNDREDS. SHAAN YOU GOT ME SO EMOTIONAL. Your so transparent. I'm blessed to be in your Anxiety recovery academy! Much love! :)
Psychedelic are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety...it saved my life
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety level. I would love to try shrooms.
I just finished weaning off all these terrible psych meds that made me crazy and worse.It’s hard for me to imagine that, but watching all these studies has given me hope.
Really great video. Thanks for sharing your story, it is very similar to mine! Solution (short version) for anxiety and panic attacks which works for me. It solves also stress and fear which are often related to it: 1. Figure out if there's something in your "background mind" which can start anxiety/panic attack (like trauma from your past) settle it and let it heal. It's good to sit under the tree and divide your life into core elements like "family", "relationships", "work/school", "health", etc. Take each of this areas and plan it. Tell yourself how it was, how it is now, if you are satisfied with the current state and potentially how could it be and what you are going to do with that. It really helps to settle your life and to control it. Do this every time you feel that your mind needs to clean up (every few months for example). Also i found out that if you want to figure out some problem of yours, speaking ALOUD to yourself works just awesome. If you don't anyone to talk to at the moment, speak it anyway. But it has to be ALOUD. It works like a magic, trust me, try it. If you are believer address your words to your God. If you're not, address them to universe or life force. 2. Learn to breathe and be present. Stop creating toxic stories in your mind. 3. If you are afraid of fear and panic attacks, accept it and face it, don't stand in one place. First step is always the hardest. Fear can paralyze you but in that moment you move forward you will overcome it. If panic attack happens, you will know in the future that there's nothing to be afraid of. 4. Stop overthinking and stop caring too much. You solved all your inner troubles at this point. Thinking about your state at this time is like pouring gas into fire. Learn to "let it go" and focus your mind on something else. Learn that it's ok to not feel good time to time. There are bad days and there are good days, it's normal. But every state has its end. In The Beatles words: "When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be" Fun fact: I was always phlegmatic. In that point i changed my behaviour to be less unflappable, panic attacks and anxiety started. Other things that helped me a lot: Faith, meditating, positive thinking, daily routine and planning, listening to relax music, singing and playing the guitar, exercising... It can take time, months or few years to overcome it. Don't push yourself too much, take your time. Life is like a mix of goniometric curves - up and down in different amplitudes and these curves are overlapping:) Have a great day! ^^
i relate to this so much, before i was confident and outgoing i was never usually anxious about anything and it started so suddenly and it was awful. but i have really made so much progress, speak to people it will get better ❤
One day I I woke I was just tired of relying on medication . That day I had a doctor's appointment and received a B12 shot. I prayed all night to Jesus to help me 🙏 I changed my perspective of thinking day by day. Jesus is the answer honestly it's a miracle. I know Jesus helped me .
I love this Video. Thank you so much Shaan. You have helped me to live my life again. I was in a dark place feeling stuck. Once I stared watching your videos you have helped me figure out what anxiety was doing to my body. Now when I feel those things happening. I know know what to do now. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I also had a bad panic attack and was overcome by fear. Thought something was wrong with me. I am finally able to enjoy my life with my three kids. Thanks! God bless you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was just about to head to bed when I saw this video in my recommendations. Another anxiety recovery video for people who sweat and think they're having a heart attack, etc., etc., I thought. ...But then I thought: "eh, why not? It might just be the most important 15 minutes of your life!" I will say that very soon in, my eyes welled up and I cried a bit. I won't go into it in depth, but I have a long history of anxiety and, unfortunately, an all too good memory of just how frightening an experience it is. Thank you so much for sharing your story because what you have overcome is exactly what I am yet to. Your description and especially the written notes literally spoke to me in a way only someone who has been though the same things himself could. yes, there are a myriad of resources, but this video absolutely nailed it in letting me know that someone has beaten exactly what I deal with. It's too early to say...but it very well could end up being the most important 15 minutes I ever spent. I hope so. thank you Shaan😁
Thanks for the kind words. I made this video a while back - but I had a hard time releasing it because it was so personal for me. Love your content as well!
Shaan .. I am feeling great day by day and it's because of you . I have been struggling with anxiety thing from past 1 month. Though it's too early to say but your guidance helped me a lot in soothing my nerves and I feel like am on my way to recovery. Thanks again. I will update every now and then
I promised I would come back if I ever recover. Oh man, here I am. I used to watch all of these videos over and over again, thinking I would never get out of this. But one thing is for sure: I am now recovered. And I'm not just saying it, i feel it. I don't know if this is even the right word, recovered, but you got the point. And I know it is frustrating because you don't hear people recovering from anxiety. But trust me, they exist. I am one example. They just don't come back here because they don't need this type of content anymore. I will not lie to you; it was a full journey. And it took some very hard months. But it was worth it. I now enjoy life again. I didn't took any treatment. I don't say it's bad; I just want to say that is possible with nothing else but willpower. For me personally, a game changer was when I started to relax my body again. Calm the body, and the mind will follow! Also, be patient with yourself. It will be a long-run journey, but it will pay off. And also, thank you, Shaan. You definitely had contributed to my journey. Peace and love to everybody!
I can relate so much to Shann and many others out there. My first panic attack happened when I just finished secondary school and started college. It was scary and at that time nobody really spoke much about anxiety nor panic attacks. I remember during classes in college I would leave room and sit on bench checking on myself and feeling my wet sweaty hands. I felt alone and terrified, I didn’t know what I was going through. I kept going to hospitals for check ups & thinking I was seriously ill. I don’t remember how but slowly anxiety and panic attacks disappeared ( I wish I kknew what I did ) and 10 or more years later I experienced another panic attack at this point I have forgotten how it feels like 😢so I panicked of some weird sensation I experienced ( like fainting, head spinning) I called my bf to come from work as I was telling him I was dying 😢 we went to ER and they did tests , nothing was wrong because when I got there I felt safe. It was hardest time of my life because the aftermath of panic attacks are something else. It took me long time to get better. Since then it’s been 4/5 years and some months are good , some are ok and some are bad. At the moment I am seeking some help because I realized I cannot do it by myself, unlike shaan i don’t have my family beside me as I live abroad, and I really wish they were here to support me 😢 I have hope and faith that I will find my way to get better, if we don’t push ourselves or keep going we will not survive in this 🌎 I would also like to think that anxiety is here to tell me a lot of things, I was happy before but I was not fully appreciating things in life, I always did things in a rush, I didn’t stop and look at the sky for longer than 1 minute, I didn’t appreciate my family or things I had in life , and list goes on…. At the end of the day we have to learn how to cope / overcome anything in life ❤ so we are all in this together, let’s do the work to succeed, remember just by feeling sorry for yourself won’t get u anywhere, only if we act we will see progress xxx sending everyone love and hugs whoever needs it 😊 🙏🤗
I really wanna thank you...I m suffering from same symptoms...earlier I thought its related to heart disease as i m an obsese person.but all the symptoms were not related to heart problem...still i felt fast heartbeat cold sweat... even i started feeling that i dont feel like I used to feel...TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO..I REALISED THAT I HAVE BEEN PANIC ATTACKS OR ANXIETY ATTACKS....thanks to you man❤ TODAY I DECIDE TO LIVE MY LIFE AND NOT THINK ABOUT LIVING MY LIFE ....I CAN'T EXPRESS YOU HOW RELIEVED I AM AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO..I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY MOM HAD A VERY LONG CONVERSATION ON HOW I FEEL PHYSICALLY AND WHAT ANXIETY REALLY IS..I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH MAN..JUST FEEL SO LIVELY TODAY.❤
I have been going through this for 3 and a half years. it started with chronic dizziness for me. that developed into an obsessive fear that I was developing schizophrenia (I wasn't). that theme lasted for a year and a half before switching to numerous different topics along the way.i have went through periods of severe agoraphobia. this past week im starting to have the worst panic attacks of my life multiple times a day. I can't sleep much and ive developed a fear of eating because it seems to trigger these horrible attacks without fail. These attacks are lasting hours too, and once I finally start to come down from it I get hit with another intense wave of panic. ive been to the hospital 4 times in the past 2 weeks, one of those trips by ambulance. I dont know how im supposed to get over this. I am starting to believe that I actually need medication. ive held off on it for so long because of all of the UA-camrs saying that you dont need it. I have tried and tried to get better, and nothing has worked. I scheduled an apt with a psychiatrist the 20th. im hoping to get at least some of my old self back. this has taken just about everything from me, including my personality, goals, ambitions, relationships, etc.
Very sorry to hear all this. Is it only 3 years ago that it started or has it been recurring? Your age is important too. I have Complex PTSD and I'm wondering if you've ever suffered any severe trauma, either 1 event or repeated shit, through childhood or the military maybe? I think you need to speak 100% honestly to your doctor and/or mental health professional. There is a time and a place for meds sadly, there's only so much that "advice" or self-help stuff can achieve. Don't rule them out, I couldn't survive without certain meds. I wish you all the best and always remember, you're not alone ❤
hello, thank you for taking the time to respond. I am currently 24 and my issues started before my 21st birthday. aside from emotional neglect from my parents I can't pinpoint a "serious" traumatic event nor I fixate on one thing inparticular. I definitely believe trauma plays a role however, as I have struggled with dissociation a lot. CPTSD has definitely been proposed as a diagnosis by a therapist in the past. regardless, I am starting to see a psychiatrist because I cannot take it anymore. I just got fired from my job for calling out because of this. I am very scared for the future
@@thomasstrickland7383 emotional neglect could be more than enough to cause all your problems, don't underestimate it. Dissociation is weird ainnit, I too am affected by severe agoraphobia like you. Try not to be scared (easier said than done) and be proud and positive that you're taking the first steps towards healing. You're still very young, this could all be a thing of the past soon with your whole life ahead of you 👍👍👍
All the very best with your bold and courageous decision to seek help. Contrary to opinions of many that don’t condone the use of ,medication , there are numerous stories of the positive effect of medication. I personally had both challenging and extremely positive experiences with medication. You must give it time and find the right psychiatrist and find the right medication that suits you. Believe in the medication, never abuse it and once you use it correctly, it could be a lifesaver. This. Is strictly my personal opinion based on my 8 year ordeal with General Anxiety Disorder and Major Depression. Be well and take care; importantly have faith in the process and your ability to overcome this. We are much more resilient than we think..
This is exactly my story. this is exactly what i've been through and now i can say im recovering i accepted it, i accepted the symptons and feel it. I'm not scared of it anymore.
I used to have Anxiety because of my substances abused and mental abused. Once I stopped allowing those things in my life, the anxiety magically just when away. I can make a firm decision every time I needed to without any hesitation and doubt, don’t ever give away your power to anyone or anything that is not godly.. wish you all well...🙏
What substances if you don’t mind. I’ve struggled with anxiety a while and am now quitting nicotine and weed cold fueled. I’m on day 3 and am dying currently
@@coffeeblogger7441 I don't think this is a coincidence that, since the start of cov!d, a lot of young healthy people with zero pre-existing condition magically all of a sudden started experiencing the exact same type of bizarre breathing issue. I think cov!d damaged both the autonomic nervous/muscle systems. Apparently, everyone with Long Cov!d or post cov!d syndrome experiences not just shortness of breath due to what could be respiration/ diaphragm muscle freeze/malfunction along with abnormal high pulse rate upon slight exertion but also malfunction with the LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter Muscles) and swallowing muscles. In my case, I apparently had chronic gastritis due to a poor diet and it also could be due to inflammation caused by post-cov!d damage. Additionally, I also had a h.pylori infection with symptoms that was blamed on anxiety nonsense for 8 months until it was diagnosed by a gastroenterologist after doing an upper endoscopy procedure. I think the h.pylori bacteria remained dormant until my whole system started to malfunction after catching cov!d. So, all in all, most of my symptoms could be linked to post-cov!d damage, GERD, stomach and esophagus inflammation caused by both poor diet and, h.pylori infection . My symptoms started back in April 2021 and only after June 2022, when I actually saw some meaningful improvement in my breathing problem and all the other symptoms in general. These days, I breathe 40% better or 40% closer to normal breathing. I'm not a doctor but what helped me is changing my diet to a GERD-friendly and anti-inflammatory diet, sleeping at a 30 degree incline and avoiding the majority of physical stress and activities (ex: lawn mowing, snow shoveling, weightlifting, running, etc). Also, taking vitamin D2 as prescribed by my primary doctor. You have to be patient and give it time. You'll heal! Don't lose hope.
Came across this video for the 1st time. This is me watching it while going through anxiety at the very moment. Is not easy to come out and share your mental health story & recovery. Video was very calming.
This video made me tear up just sitting over here wondering if it's anxiety I need to overcome in order to gain confidence. I hope one day I will overcome anxiety. This video was heartfelt and wonderful keep up the great vids.
It started the same way for me except it was the other way around. The doctors were telling me I had anxiety while I was in complete denial. I was convinced I had something other than anxiety. I refused to medicate. I always believed in my mental fortitude. And I refused to believe that I had no control over my mental state. It wasn’t until the physical effects lingered for some time that they became debilitating. From difficulty breathing that lasted for weeks to IBS that lasted much longer, the symptoms became severe that I had to finally acknowledge them. The road to recovery did not happen overnight. And to this day it’s a continuous fight to overcome those episodes. I’m glad to see you beat anxiety.
Your videos have helped me so much. I have had anxiety my whole life, in I’m my late 40s, and your videos and techniques are the first ones that have made sense and “clicked” with me. You are also very sincere. Thank you
I have had anxiety all my life. It`s easy to just say ``Accept`` it. That`s like telling someone to keep their hand in a fire, you`ll come to accept it. It`s great Shaan that you are reaching out and helping people, but I wish it was as easy as you say to solve it. Alas for many it don`t work that way. Best of luck to anyone on here who reads this. Walking is very good i find for anxiety. It releases serotonin the happy mood. Give it a try. Good Luck. 👍
That’s the answer. That’s how I stopped my crippling anxiety a few years ago when this happened. Dont fight it! Let it do what it’s going to do, you’re fine! Embrace the feeling. You’re completely fine. Let it happen. Tell it to come on stronger. And it will fade away… we won’t be held down anymore. I’m here now trying figure out why it’s back and I’ve been dealing with it for months. This time around experiencing different medications and I don’t need to
Hi Shaan. I suffer from anxiety and physical activity like sports always helped me with it. Last year I had disc bulge in my lower back . I got over it and still continued my physical activities to manage my anxiety. 2 months back I got a disc bulge in my neck and my lower back also seems to be hurting more . I'm quite depressed at the moment. Trying my best to be positive
This is what I’m going through and trying to tell my husband about it but he wouldn’t listen to me and it only made him more depressed, I feel so alone and so scared to talk to him about it because he may think I’m crazy and that I need to be strong that I’m better than this… but thank you for sharing this you are a blessing for the others 🙌
@@DelvReign hey I’m doing good, sorry I was just going through some hormonal changes as I have just given birth not long ago… So it kind of raised my anxiety and didn’t know how to control it, I had it for 7 years and I knew how to control it but after having a child it made my anxiety worst. But what used to help me was to take some deep breath and bring my attention to what’s right there in the moment and it has been helping. I’m a really anxious person and I’m so alert with everything around me. But I hope you find relief, go to the gym, walks and listening to music should help you. I’m a believer so I listen to worship music and also I watch a lot of testimonies and it gives me peace.. everyone is different in healing. I wish you all the best and pray you have the peace of God 🙏🏼
You know something, whatever shaan said each and every symptoms i do have like he said im anxious about what im going through right now this is exactly what happens to me everytime and breathing problem and rapid changes of heart beat ofcourse these symptoms i never ever had in my life in the past , but i cried a lot alone and ,im afraid of being alone, walking alone, everything,but now i need accept whatever the things going on in. My life,and im very thankful to this person as he made me this is a normal problem that a lot of human being experiences ,soo from now i accept everything and try to enjoy,and happy everything whatever sh*t doing in my life,im very thankful to u brother ❤❤❤❤ . Millions of thanks to u ❤❤
Exactly me too ,palpitations and fast heart rate chest tightness and shortness of breath…my test are normal but still in symptomatic ..I’m boxed up in extreme fear ..fear of the rumination and intrusive thoughts..fear of things I can’t control …but I accept and I finally want to let go of the things I stomached in me and Deny denial ..I’ve accepted that it’s all in my head ..and I want to make peace with that
Hey if you not well plzz go to good psychiatric treatment n plzz don't lose hope everything gona fine ❤️ these are just mind things in reality nothing exist just work on your mental health ❤️
anyone else feel like there heart is racing constantly and feel like you're going to have a heart attack like a slight pressure feeling? It's not a full blown panic attack, its like a half ass one 24/7 . this is most of my day. I have a weird adrenaline feeling in my brain constantly..super hard to describe.
Man i needed this today. I was doing good then slipped and started to spiral again but the past couple days i’ve forced myself to workout and that has been really helping. Just gotta get back into the routine again and continue on the path of acceptance. There will be good days, bad days, good weeks and bad weeks. We are not alone! Onward friends!
I have struggled with anxiety fir 20 years and it appears randomly. I relate with everything you have shared, especially with accepting your anxiety. It taught me that exercise and for me personally yoga has assisted.❤
As I sit here watching this profound video, I have tears welling up in my eyes. I am reminded of the shell of a person I was just two short years ago, with body pain and symptoms that convinced me I was dying every single day. I didn't correlate pain to poor mental health and I literally thought I was going crazy. It was until I had to finally surrender and accept that unless I took charge of my mental health, I would always feel like I was going to die. Discovering you has given me such a huge sense of validation for the first time ever. I am much better than I used to be. I couldn't see a way out. Watching your videos just solidifies how far I've come. I still need reminders every now and then but your videos and experiences are EVERYTHING to me. Thank you for holding your hand out to others and showing people how to overcome anxiety.
@@jenniferlee9029 occasionally Ativan but I did lots of talk therapy and took better care of myself physically. I still have a bit of anxiety but nowhere near as bad as I was.
This was a very personal story for me to share.
But I wanted you to see that no matter how low you can get, you can overcome this and go back to living with even more confidence than before. Let me know your thoughts 👇.

I had the exact same thing happened to me Out of Body Experience very frightening
😊
Did u experience dizziness? Or neck on the left side hurts and i can't lay down coz it spins . My main symptom is dizziness
@Alafasy3mashallah sheik , i wuld advise making salah with someone because at first it can also be extremely scary to make salah alone dizzy and short of breath heartbeating hard in salah lumo in your throat ... But afterwards youll see when you break down and the Qur'an goes through the heart , youll realise how much uv been fearing and holding onto and that u need to let go because allah is in control and all you have to do is believe and start staying away from bad things that make u feel guilty... Then ull be free and salah will be a daily refresh on your anxiety it will still be there bt salah will manage it
As someone who has recovered from anxiety and gets it only occasionally i can say nothing helped me , i tried even searching online , going to hospitals
What truly helped me was acceptance, accept that i am a human and this emotions are part of life , its not an emergency
Thankyou good comment
Can you fully recover from panic attacks cause I feeling the same exact way he felt in the beginning.i recently started having panic attacks and I just miss the little things I use to do before everything.i miss waking up happy and not worrying about anything.but I feel like when I recover I will appreciate t one things even more and want to do better in life.i just don't know how to beat it
Excellent comment... Good helps immensely. However, not all anxieties are rooted in the same cause. Trauma and anxiety /emotions also store in thy body as trauma... So, although not being alarmed by the symptoms helps immensely... It won't ultimately heal and break the cycle. This has been my experience anyway.
I'm struggling so bad every minute of the day almost I feel something wrong in my mind and body like I'm about to drop dead, even a breeze of wind or feeling in my shoulder or anything will make me think oh no this isn't right and that something bad is going to happen. My chest is constantly in pain and when I get stressed it gets worse. I keep convincing myself I'm going to die from a heart issue I have been to the hospital and had full blood tests twice and all came back healthy but a week goes by and it starts again and I'm thinking have they missed something or has something new developed. It's eating me alive. I feel uneasy and nervous and worried all the time my mind is going off on its own. What do I do 😭😭
Thank you for saying this! I’m struggling and it’s helpful to remember it not an emergency.
Tears are streaming and I feel so hopeful and hopeful.
Warriors you have to surrender to conquer Anxiety. Anxiety is a demon that wants you to fight him but when you let your Anxiety bark and pay no heed to it, it will be gone forever.

As someone who recovered from anxiety i want to Say That there is a light at The end of The tunnel. Keep pushing guys, life is Amazing after axiety
How to cure this or make this better please help.. I don't know what's going on with me I am just sinking inside something I have no idea about it's really getting difficult I have a exam in two months I tried my best to ignore it but as each passing second it's growing and I couldn't ignore it I feel like the spark in me is dead I was great in studies without doing much hardwork but now I am working hard still can't get basic things help
Dear I am facing the same problem... but believe in your self it will be normal.... be strong
What did you do to recover? Please. I really need help.
I am freezing with chills. This is EXACTLY my story. My story started in 2018 and I am now recovered. Full blown DPDR for over a year and only once I let go did I start to recover. With my growth mindset I kept tackling bigger and bigger goals to tame my anxiety. I don’t believe there’s anything I can’t handle now. Thank you for sharing 🙏
And to anyone thinking they will never recover. I was there. Every morning. Every night. “I can’t live like this anymore. It won’t go away”
Yes it will. You will recover. Stop the negative thought loops and give in. You will start to heal, I promise.
Thankyou
is dpdr permanent ?
Thanks for sharing I been having bad anxiety for the past week and a half and it’s mostly about random stuff or thoughts that don’t make any sense to be honest? I have watched a few Drs on here and they said to compare Fears to Facts and change you thinking and how to cope with them, they also said Facts gives you the ultimate power because if the facts can’t hurt you! Act on the facts not fear and accept anxiety The Drs also said to face your fears it helps. I’m trying to keep an opened minds and I will LET GO! I’m curious what kind of things did you do to help with your anxiety? I’m very happy for you I hope to hear back from you. 👍🙏💪
@@araiq7005not at all, it’s all in ur mind
and how exactly did you end this negative thought loop?
I cried watching this video. This is exactly what happened to me and I still have those symptoms till this day. Muscle pain and fatigue are the worse.. I was in denial for a long time thinking there is something wrong with me. May Allah help me and grand me full recovery. Stay safe whoever reading this. You are not alone.
Sumaameen
me too ,im still suffer this
You not alone .
you are not alone. you can do it
i have social anxiety because of hyperhidrosis which means i sweat a lot, when im in public or interacting with people, i always aware of being sweating. When the little sweat came out from my face, the panic kicks in, my heart rapidly beating, my neck is hard, feel uncomfortable, and the worse is, i am begin to sweating more and more until i look like people who taking shower. Can u imagine that, in calm situations only me that sweat like taking bath, i am quitting organization, and the worse, i can't even go to mosque near my house, i used to be go to mosque every day, but in another mosque i doing fine, maybe because i dont know any people in there. My mind is full of reading other people mind. I think they see me weird, gay, drug addict, pedofil, big sins. I dont even smoke at all, touch alcohol, and never have gf. I dont do any of that at all but why i "look" like them, even the people who do that doesnt even look like that. I pray for my cureness every day though, i cant tell anybody that i have this issiue, even at my parents because i dont think they will understand the situations. The only hope is from Allah SWT. If Allah dont help me, my future carrer will be disaster😢
This guy is literally saving my life, I will forever be grateful for him. I cannot wait to fully recover and share my story and maybe help others.
Plz tell me how u cope with it as I have spinning shmptom all time plz help me
@@hinashahid1907 Hey Hina! Yes, I know what your going through It’s very scary I know, but you have to realize, no matter what panic attacks cannot hurt you at all physically, so when you feel those physical symptoms its just your body processing the excess adrenaline, allow it to come and go like your in the waves on the beach and the water will calm
God I hope your not paying the 3,000
Me too having anxiety is a living hell I'm crying rn watching this video I pray that I'll go away by the grace of our lving God Nd shares my story and how God heals me one day... And I hope and pray that that day comes very soon from now. Because I'm so fed up of having,/dealing with this... Lord please heal me.🥺😭🥲🥲
How has he helpd you. All he talked about were symptoms and no solutions. He put together a 15 min infomercial to buy his couse. Did you take the cours did it work?

Tears rolling out
Let universe give the power for everyone to overcome this

Amen

it will come to you because you asked
I’m half way into the video!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME last year!! I’m even scared if I watch this video till the end, it will trigger again. But I know I can’t run away from my fears anymore and I have recovered greatly, so I will continue and watch the entire video. Apart from this, I also want to say is that I’m so glad that I’ve made it this far. Thanks to god, my parents and myself who kept fighting! Anyone who is facing this, please be strong, if you are strong and keep fighting I promise you will come out of this. You have no idea but you are the strongest force your family has ever seen! God bless you!
Now the only anxiety I have to overcome is my exam fears. I am stuck with my exams, I’m not able to sit and give a single exam, just because I have the fear of failing, this cycles into more stress and frustration for me, which keeps me unhappy, only I can experience this pain no one else can. My family only knows that I have fear of exams, they don’t even know that I haven’t even appeared for my papers yet, but I promise I will climb this mountain up again! Will get back up no matter what and will win this for my parents and myself. If not, I will surely do something in life which will make them proud one day! Thank you mom and dad for your support.
@@daarshanpatelldon't worry bro , exam is just part of life , i complete my 3 year graduation in 6 year 😅 many problems like depression, joblessness, future problem, age turning 29 many mental illness but still living life and give time for change , life is like river need flow to meet ocean 🙏 hope for you and all the best brother
Same my exam are on 2feb bro I am literally very panic give me some tips@@daarshanpatell
@@daarshanpatellyes you'll. I believe in you❤
Here's what everyone should know:
Stop trying to fix it and focus on what your value in life. Do that with courage, and you will get better.
The reason the panic and anxiety persists is because you are trying to fix it and avoid it. By trying to fix and avoid, you are letting your brain know that there is indeed something dangerous to avoid. Your brain learns, and will now (being the survival device that it is) very helpfully look out for these dangerous things even more and sound the 'alarm' even faster. Resulting in more anxiety and more panic, with increasingly severe symptoms.
Again: focus on what you value. You value friendship, or kindness? Good. Now however anxious and panicky you feel, you can still practice friendship and kindness. Just take the panic and anxiety with you, let it be there. You brain is just trying to protect you.
Focus on what you value, do valued actions and show your brain what is actually important to you.
This works.
Great words!
💙
What a great advice.
Wow! What a great advice, God bless you!
I get yelled and screamed at for 😢 having them.
In my experience, your environment is one of the biggest factors that cause anxiety. Great video, takes balls to be vulnerable and talk about this to the world bro!
As a person that has had panic attacks and anxiety and recovering from it. I would give you a hug because we are not alone and if I were to cry it would be tears of joy my brother. Whoever is seeing this message and is going through this uncomfortable moment, (YOU ARE NOT ALONE!) it’s gotten me closer to God and I am feeling the best I’ve ever felt in a long time.
I’m finding my way out. The symptoms are still here but less. It’s been two months, my way to handle it is when it comes, focus on the sensations and feel them, do not fight them or fear them, and keep working and do what you do. I’m looking forward to a full recovery. I think we’ll all be fine, maybe not today, not tomorrow, but one day, we’ll be fine.
We'll get through this! Can't wait to feel free again💗💪🏻
@@ASHH2005We definitely will. I’m still feeling tightness in my chest when I’m sleeping, but no panic attack or other serious symptoms. But I think it will go one day. We will all be fine and free. I know I can do it, so can you.

🎉Same for me chest tightness is worst, I also noticed whenever I feel emotions it gets Even more tight
Wow that’s sound amazing
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
Shrooms was the best trip I had. It was an amazing experience.
Dr.spores is the best, he's been my supplier for anything psychedelics.
Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict and micro dosing has done wonders for me. I don't take it to trip just take it for my mental health and it helps me tremendously
7 years living with this.Shaan your story so relatable.Lost so much time avoiding the anxiety.I used to say im not crazy!my mind is clear!
we all start by a panic attack then we have those physical symptoms , we start consulting many doctors and nothing wrong we panic more , while we're having derealisation and depersonalization we barely can talk since we're not here ,we're anxious about our anxiety then it turns to depression it's a whole cycle and still struggling with anxiety while depression is ok it's a whole world this anxiety
Literally my life rn
@@KimTheIII Hey how are you? this just now became my life but I know it won't be for long, we got this, Have you made progress?
This is so accurate
i haven’t even been driving!!! i must stop this
This is fuckin accurate
Personal experience on how I successfully overcame my anxiety:
It's a cycle of thought --> emotion (what you feel) --> thought --> emotion (what you feel) ....
First you need to differentiate between these two. Because dealing with one is different from dealing with the other.
Since it's a circle, you must break one of these, but you can deal with both. Dealing with the thought(s) is more important.
The circle (your anxiety) does not disappear instantly. But it becomes weaker every time you manage to break one element of it.
1. Regarding the emotions you might search for breathing techniques or methods to cause physical pain to lessen the feeling. And remember the emotion (= physical, what you actually feel when anxiety manifests itself) is not the same as the thought which triggered the emotion. You cannot fight the emotion itself or run away mentally without making things worse. But what you can do is to face the emotions which means to become aware of your bodily symptoms and accept them voluntarily. Your emotions cannot (!) force you to fight them mentally (= with your thoughts). That’s how the chain between emotion and thought can be cut by refusing to fight the emotion after having had the thought.
2. Regarding the thoughts themselves:
Your thoughts can become an inner circle if you start catastrophising. Catastrophising should be interrupted right at the start and must not be thought through till some presumed result is found which falsely promises inner peace if you act according to it. How do you do it? Do not try to not think about it because that does not work. Instead, think about something else something that distracts you very easily (for instance, in my case that’s the latest football news).
And now back to 1..
And remember, the anxiety circle doesn’t disappear instantly, but it becomes weaker every time focus on 1. or 2..
Your anxiety will steadily decrease by time, might take you days, weeks or months. But it works if you stick to it.
You are in control: Your fear cannot force you to fight it.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1. John 4:18, highly recommend the entire 4th chapter)
“God is love.” 1. John 4:16
Important: Your emotions cannot (!) force you to fight them mentally (= with your thoughts). That’s how the chain between emotion (1.) and thought (2.) can be cut by refusing to fight the emotion after having had the thought.

Hey friend, please go to a doctor!
That being said, the following might help you understand the core of your problem.
What fear has to do with love:
Apart from this, the following might help you to understand - if you do know already - what perfect love means and what it has to with the nature of fear. Love in a divine sense is truly unconditional. Fear is always conditional. The one who fears thinks conditionally. "If X happens, it might cause Y to happen." X is the possible condition for Y. You're so afraid of Y that you'll act irrationally to avoid X. But why is it irrational to try to avoid X so hard if it minimizes the risk of Y. It is irrational because there is not only one Y. There are so many things we can lose. In fact, everything in this world is transient, everything fades at some. And this is the point where the beauty of love comes in. Which is truly unconditional from all eternity.
Again, Christianity is really about the idea that: "God is love." 1. John 4:16 Love is not only what God is like, it is who he is. Love only exists in communion, in relationship. Therefore, God by his very essence must be something like a relationship of love. The love between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit. One in being/essence, three in person. In our human experience, perfect love seems to manifest itself when we give to others willing the good of the other. It is truly unconditional. Unconditionally giving. And here is God becoming man, living the perfect - sinless - life, taking all punishment upon himself and dying the most dreadful death one can possibly imagine sothat we might be saved. What more could one give - how could one give more unconditionally? Love is who he is. In Thomas Aquinas' words, God is 'ipsum esse per se subsistens'. Being itself subsisting. The sheer act of being. Love. That is what we see in the first books of the bible to our salvation in Jesus Christ. From the God who gives by creating, from the burning bush which was not consumed by its flames of self-giving love, to Pentecost. Then, "what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on their heads" - the Holy Spirit. God is love. :)
And through Jesus we are invited to join this relationship of love - to become one with the one who is love.
By surrendering our lives and our worries to the one who has overcome fear and death for once and for all.
This is how we can evade the conditions of this world thereby the condition of fear. I really hope you give love a chance - even though the advice might not be as practical as the first one above.
All the best :)
@Joh-jf5kc hi, I realised yesterday, that going outside and sitting on the grass near a forest with my dog and mum helps, everytime I start feeling anxious, which is your body going into fight or flight mode, so if I just do breathing exercises everytime I feel it alot and go outside, because I really felt a difference after I came back home, It should get better? If you've got something to add or tell me please do, it will help me.
Is it possible to get out of this disorder?Im a Christian and praying for my deliverance for many years.I’m 57 years old female suffering from hypochondria.

You may ask, why all that theological thinking?
Because through Jesus we are invited to join this relationship of love - to become one with the one who is love.
"For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.", as the early Christians put it.
By surrendering our lives and our worries to the one who has overcome fear and death for once and for all.
Surrender to the one who is love, who will always love you - no matter what you think, feel and fear. If there is one thing I learned in my life, it is that he loves all of us uncondtionally. He never gives up on us. He never gives up on YOU.
Letting yourself be loved by Jesus changes everyhing. Truly trusting in his unconditional and most personal love for you.
No thought can take that away from you.
This is how we can evade the conditions of this world and thereby the condition of fear.
All the best :)
I experienced panic attacks for the first time a few months ago. I started feeling very dissociated from my surroundings. It was a very debilitating experience and I remember thinking I was all alone in the world and no one could understand what I was experiencing. I thought it’d last forever. I’d constantly compare myself to the past version of me, who didn’t deal with anxiety.
Fast forward a few months & I’ve been able to bring my life back almost to normal. I still feel dissociated & anxious from time to time, but I know that it’ll pass. So to anyone that’s going through anxiety and feels like there’s no end to it, give it time. Better times are ahead. I know it’s hard to feel that way from the mind space that you’re in right now, but find peace in the fact that there will be times when you feel at bliss once again.
Here’s a tip though- Don’t self diagnose and create more anxiety for yourself by scrolling through comments on social media & google articles. Back then, I had convinced myself that I had a severe anxiety disorder and DPDR just because of comments I read online. The best way to deal with anxiety, is through therapy and a good support system.
Best comment.
Hey, it's really nice to see someone who is recovering from whatever thing bothering 🫶🏻. I just want some help, I think I've Derealization cause and have a constant headache all the time and I'm very anxious about everything. I just want some help to be back to normal. Can you help me cause you've been in this before?
Thank you so much for this comment.
As I said in my first comment for this video, it's so comforting knowing people have recovered (or are in the process of doing so) from these particular symptoms.
Posts like yours truly do lift my spirits and hope. 😊
Sean, not only do you give us tools.. but you give us HOPE! When I was feeling dp/dr and in a panic, you were the only one who explained its mechanism. I’m now 95% recovered and starting to feel more and more like myself again. Only this time, a much better version! Some days are still shaky but I now have the tools and faith to keep going. I feel my full recovery just right around the corner and I’m so thankful that I’ll be able to look at this part of my life as not traumatic anymore but as a hard temporary time in my past that I’ve triumphed! Keep going friends, victory is yours!

Thanks man your words gives hope.
I feel like part of me recovered but not fully. I just barely feel the anxiety now. Even when i get those intrusive thoughts, i brush it off quite easily now. I just never acknowledge the anxiety even if my mind is screaming loudly at me. All I've really done is more working out, more sleep, write in my journal regularly and meditation. I can't say this enough! Meditation for me is the best thing ever! It really saved me from going completely mental and i mean that. I have health anxiety so every odd body sensation would drive me completely crazy and it would literally make me believe that i was dying. It was like this for me since 2020 but then i finally said to myself. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! And so this is how i started becoming more consistent with my journey to improving and bettering myself. As I've said previously i don't think I'm completely healed just yet but I'm most definitely in a much better position than i have ever been in my whole life. All you need to do is to keep at it and keep being as consistent as you possibly can and do NOT give up! 💯 💪🏽 you got this, friend 😊
Thankyou so much for your comment!

Omg I’ve never seen anyone else have the same anxiety of schizophrenia or bipolar. This was a fear of mine for months, probably the darkest time of my whole life. I’ve had that obsession twice and the second time I completely shut myself from the world for the fear of losing control or having a panic attack. I started questioning my reality and listened to see if I would hear any voices or see any hallucinations. It got so bad that I would start dissociating and then that was my “proof” I was crazy. I saw you had that written down and it made my heart happy for the first time in a while. Definitely subbing!
Sameeeeee broooo
I have this fear too. Actually very common among the people I know

Same bro
This resonates a lot with me. Mirroring a lot of my life story. I had insomnia as a teenager and I've always been a night owl. Later in life I was diagnosed with M.S.. I tried to fight it, but I kept having relapses roughly every 2-4 months. I got on medication after a little less than 2 years after my first M.S. attack. I stayed on medication for close to a decade. I finally decided to stop fighting it and stopped taking medication. Things are not great now, but i feel a bit better because I am not as much of a leach on society. I'm still looking for answers and things that can help. I have been watching videos about community and the lack of it in modern society! Best of luck to you Shaan!
I am so thankful I came across your channel… your story is literally how I have felt the past few years with anxiety. So many doctors - saying “your fine”. But symptoms keep coming, and make you feel like your going crazy. I’ve always felt alone in this but this had given me great hope 🙏🏼
Due to all your information I now recognise I had panic attacks in my early 20's, my hair fell out and I was put on pills to slow my heart rate (which I took for 2 weeks due to fear). I cut down my working days and made sure I didn't get overloaded because I had heart problems.
I've continued to have heart problems, countless ECGs, I weirdly have a low heart rate, even during a panic attack, which thunders irregularly and has a weird squashy.
feeling. I'm now 60 and have just been diagnosed with Anxiety! What a life changer it would have been if this had happened 35 years ago.
You are helping so much and many of us are relying on you ❤ because doctors and health specialists are overwhelmed with Covid. Thank you so much.

Today I came across this video & I totally agree to what he said. I went through the same thing but now I'm in a better place than before.
There are few points I would like to mention that helped me personally during those attacks:
1. Accept that you are going through something & tell your mind "This will pass & you are not going to die".
2. You can remind yourself that how the last time you felt the same way, but then you came out of it, so this time too you will be fine(you won't die;)
3. Talk to your friend/ any person who can divert your mind or make you feel better and if you have no one to talk to, talk to yourself(positive self-talk) , trust me, you will feel better.
4. Don't force yourself to feel better soon, take as much time as needed, don't try to control it, just let it be, think something good(for e.g. what you're going to do the next day)
5. Don't be afraid of it, know you're more powerful than your thoughts, treat those thoughts as a bad person who is trying to harm the good person i.e. YOU.
6.Have a routine for each day & try to follow it, it will keep you engaged and in your list don't forget to add something that you love doing, basically, your soul food.
It may take months and even years to recover, so don't be upset, give yourself the time needed.
It won't just go away suddenly, you'll learn how to deal with it & once you see the reality, someday you'll realize that it has gone, having said that, it doesn't mean you'll never face it again, you may or you may not but the time span will be less(since now you know how to deal with it) & it won't have the same effect in you as it did before. In short, You are no more afraid of the "fear" now.
Love this!
Thank you so much for this I believe I will be fine it's just a matter of time.
I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without SSRI medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
His name is *DR Adolf Petter*
@ohmakure4716
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
Shaan the support of your family i cant bent enough of how important that is . Your channel has been helping me so much. I'm currently reading your report and everytime I feel a bit anxious I read your report .so thank for this and all the help you're giving 🙏
I actually knew all the way it was anxiety, but the symptoms just freaked the hell out of me, so I was constantly afraid of having those feelings again. And by living in fear, I stopped doing many things in my life and just succumbing into anxiety. The past 3 years were a hell to me, as nothing any therapist or psychiatrist could do to help me. Not even the medications were working well. Until I started watching these kind of videos about 2 weeks ago and started changing my mind about it. Really started to face my worst fear. I saw results immediately. I’m still recovering, but I’m glad I finally get to have hope again and see a way out of this 🙌🏻
Absolutely! Can’t run from our problems but we have to face them head on. How are you now?
@@notoriousosc1669 Thanks for the support! There are good days and bad days, but still I can feel the improvement. Meditation and mindfulness have been of great help whenever I get super tense and detached
- did you / when you have anxiety ever get twitchy? Or like shakey in person? Or when someone’s close to u?
@@dcmasta123 Absolutely I did. That’s a common reaction.
@@lililucena22 - ahhh , I’m just tryna see if someone else with like anxiety had that. Lately I’ve been like really twitchy and get really weirded out almost thinking somethings wrong with me or I got some wrong with my head or body nerves, I get super twitchy and my neck moves fast when I’m close up to someone or talking / eating in public etc. try to avoid Public :(
This story is so relatable❤...this problem is so bad 😢 no one understands the fear we face and they believe we are just overthinking... accepting its anxiety helps but it returns to haunt you without warning
I found your vids about 6 weeks ago I’m goin to keep this short if u have the will power if u have self control u can and will recover a year ago I couldn’t even get out of bed I couldn’t eat sleep talk to ppl drive work here I stand a year later 95% recovery I’m bak to me I’m driving I’m smiling more plz trust that u can and will overcome I’m living proof (FACE THE FIGHT) don’t put out the fire out with gas anymore go to the dr and get some reinsurance first then just let it be there no more wat ifs it’s all in are head guys I look bak now like wow I wish I would of found Shaans videos sooner I would of been recovered but I thought I was alone with the way I was feeling now everything is so much better I ca ln go to the stores and drive on the highway I have forgotten about anxiety I still watch his videos to remind me of where I was to where I have came Acceptance is a beautiful thing guys plz try it I promise I put a million dollars that u will overcome anxiety 100% it’s a ugly road but it’s worth it
Thank you for sharing this! I didn’t know what was happening to me when I started getting panic attacks last summer. I thought I was going crazy because I had never had anxiety before. Now 8 months later, I am finally feeling back to normal, not 100% yet, but getting there. Acceptance really works! It’s not easy, but there is no other way out.
Thanks for sharing Jay

Im experiencing this right now and it's been a year now. Thank you for doing the video. I know now that I'm not alone. with love, Farah xx
I AM SOO THANKFUL TO YOUUU MYYY BOYYY. i love youu😭😭❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing, I really relate to this and this is hope for those going through it. Anxiety is a demon in itself, the trigger point can be pulled instantly over the tiniest of things and you don't have to be sad to be anxious it just happens and often we don't know why. Some situations don't require words to explain. I set up my channel using my passion for dance to reach out to others with anxiety and autism. The mind likes to play tricks on us, it is lovely to watch something you can relate to. It is right that no one knows what you go through unless they experience it themselves.
Man I can’t tell you how much this relates to me. Mine all started in 2022. I was in the army for 6 years once I got out I became a cop. I was on night shift we just had a new baby boy and I wasn’t sleeping much at all. I had my first panic attack one evening before my shift and once that happened everything went down hill. I started to have panic attacks constantly and stopped eating. I was so damn scared but I didn’t know what to do. I was supposed to be strong and be a man as a veteran and a cop. Fast forward a year and a half later. I still struggle with anxiety but my medication has helped allot and I want to just keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
You continued work as a cop? I was a LEO and I got medically separated.
Visiting a therapist is not normalised in my country and I always look forward to heal by myself. this typa videos are such a motivation!
Amazing video. Currently suffering anxiety for a year, main symptoms are muscle twitches, hot flushes, chills, had heart palpations etc. Great video and certainly at the start of recovery..long way to go !
Recovery is not just possible it's inevitable
❤
Hi Shaan , at the moment my son is going through. My heart is broken to see him😢 like this. I am really praying to God that he gets better. Thanks for your story and your recovery.
I'm going through this right now! Thank you!! You are saving lives 1 at a time!
Sometimes it seems that we would almost prefer to have a physical rather than a mental problem as it can be seen, so it can be treated and, if we are lucky, receive tender, loving care from someone/anyone. Looking from the outside at a handsome young man, it is understandable that someone/anyone might never imagine the struggle and pain that was within you.
I am so happy that you have moved on from your struggle and pain, at least for now sir. Of course there are always challenges to face in life but, having had your experience, perhaps you will be stronger and more prepared to tackle them than you might have been previously without them.
I wish you blessings and peace
When I was struggling with anxiety, I wished it was something physical - BC anxiety gave me the impression that it meant something was wrong with me as a person. Looking back, I’m so lucky it was just anxiety
@@byebyepanic From what I have heard and seen of you there is nothing wrong with you as a person at all! You are trying and succeeding to help people so you are a compassionate, experienced teacher. The world values you very much.
God, I just want to live again. 😞 my son doesn’t deserve to see my panic attacks. I feel so lost and broken.
God bless 🙏 stay strong
Am so sorry...you will be fine ❤
This is exactly my story on the dot! Mine begin early 2022 and I’m still dealing with a bit of it. I went from being pretty out going to just wanted to stay at home. I was scared to go out because I felt that I would get a panic or anxiety attack. I visited many doctors, took so many medical tests and everything came back normal. I insisted that there was something wrong with me. I felt pain in every part of my body, every joint, head to toe to the point where I was really depressed. I felt like all the doctors were against me and why wouldn’t they tell me what’s wrong. I am slowly recuperating but now dealing with bad gastrointestinal issues which I believe all from the stress and anxiety has left me.
Thank you for your video and for letting me know that there’s hope and light at the end of the tunnel.
Coud u feel leg muscle weakness??
Idk for me too it started in early 2022 .....when 3rd wave hit ....why so many people got issues at that time😳
I just cry!! I feel the same right now! You give me hope, you make me feel relief that someday im going to be free
R u free yet ?
This was amazing I can’t wait until I fully recover I have been suffering bad with anxiety since a young child
I am currently in the exact same boat, mine is currently getting beyond out of hands, I am having panic attacks everyday, crying constantly every single day, not a single day goes past where I don't cry due to high levels of nervousness, fear, anxiety and very much so intense emotions and terrible nerves. I am so begging for that light at the end of the tunnel, I don't know what to do and I feel beyond hopeless, if anyone has cures please help, thnsks ❤❤

Same here going to school was so hard for me as a child because of anxiety.
I NEVER SAW THIS VIDEO AND I WATCHED HUNDREDS. SHAAN YOU GOT ME SO EMOTIONAL. Your so transparent. I'm blessed to be in your Anxiety recovery academy! Much love! :)
I can't thank you enough for you doing what you do. I don't know how bad it would have been by now without your videos truly thank you😭
Psychedelic are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety...it saved my life
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety level. I would love to try shrooms.
When you've experienced psilocybin, the visions, the feeling that others feel become relatable and real, but when you haven't they could sound weird
Saw some reviews about myco_louiis,checked him out and I must recommend he is good at what he does
@ Bianca is he on insta?
I just finished weaning off all these terrible psych meds that made me crazy and worse.It’s hard for me to imagine that, but watching all these studies has given me hope.
Thank You Shaan!!! You are helping so many people♥️💫🌿🌷🌞
Really great video. Thanks for sharing your story, it is very similar to mine!
Solution (short version) for anxiety and panic attacks which works for me. It solves also stress and fear which are often related to it:
1. Figure out if there's something in your "background mind" which can start anxiety/panic attack (like trauma from your past) settle it and let it heal.
It's good to sit under the tree and divide your life into core elements like "family", "relationships", "work/school", "health", etc. Take each of this areas and plan it. Tell yourself how it was, how it is now, if you are satisfied with the current state and potentially how could it be and what you are going to do with that. It really helps to settle your life and to control it. Do this every time you feel that your mind needs to clean up (every few months for example). Also i found out that if you want to figure out some problem of yours, speaking ALOUD to yourself works just awesome. If you don't anyone to talk to at the moment, speak it anyway. But it has to be ALOUD. It works like a magic, trust me, try it. If you are believer address your words to your God. If you're not, address them to universe or life force.
2. Learn to breathe and be present. Stop creating toxic stories in your mind.
3. If you are afraid of fear and panic attacks, accept it and face it, don't stand in one place. First step is always the hardest. Fear can paralyze you but in that moment you move forward you will overcome it. If panic attack happens, you will know in the future that there's nothing to be afraid of.
4. Stop overthinking and stop caring too much. You solved all your inner troubles at this point. Thinking about your state at this time is like pouring gas into fire. Learn to "let it go" and focus your mind on something else. Learn that it's ok to not feel good time to time. There are bad days and there are good days, it's normal. But every state has its end.
In The Beatles words:
"When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be"
Fun fact: I was always phlegmatic. In that point i changed my behaviour to be less unflappable, panic attacks and anxiety started.
Other things that helped me a lot:
Faith, meditating, positive thinking, daily routine and planning, listening to relax music, singing and playing the guitar, exercising...
It can take time, months or few years to overcome it. Don't push yourself too much, take your time.
Life is like a mix of goniometric curves - up and down in different amplitudes and these curves are overlapping:)
Have a great day! ^^
i relate to this so much, before i was confident and outgoing i was never usually anxious about anything and it started so suddenly and it was awful. but i have really made so much progress, speak to people it will get better ❤
took me 10 years to break from daily panic attacks. Thank God Im free from them.
How did you break from It?
One day I I woke I was just tired of relying on medication . That day I had a doctor's appointment and received a B12 shot. I prayed all night to Jesus to help me 🙏 I changed my perspective of thinking day by day. Jesus is the answer honestly it's a miracle. I know Jesus helped me .
Is it really possible to come out of chest pain , palpitations?
Thank you for sharing your story. It made me cry and I know this is the beginning of my recovery!
I love this Video. Thank you so much Shaan. You have helped me to live my life again. I was in a dark place feeling stuck. Once I stared watching your videos you have helped me figure out what anxiety was doing to my body. Now when I feel those things happening. I know know what to do now. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I also had a bad panic attack and was overcome by fear. Thought something was wrong with me. I am finally able to enjoy my life with my three kids. Thanks! God bless you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please teach me how to handle in step by step process.
I was just about to head to bed when I saw this video in my recommendations. Another anxiety recovery video for people who sweat and think they're having a heart attack, etc., etc., I thought.
...But then I thought: "eh, why not? It might just be the most important 15 minutes of your life!"
I will say that very soon in, my eyes welled up and I cried a bit. I won't go into it in depth, but I have a long history of anxiety and, unfortunately, an all too good memory of just how frightening an experience it is.
Thank you so much for sharing your story because what you have overcome is exactly what I am yet to. Your description and especially the written notes literally spoke to me in a way only someone who has been though the same things himself could.
yes, there are a myriad of resources, but this video absolutely nailed it in letting me know that someone has beaten exactly what I deal with.
It's too early to say...but it very well could end up being the most important 15 minutes I ever spent. I hope so.
thank you Shaan😁
Now that was some amazing story telling and next level visuals. You are doing some amazing work man ✌️
Thanks for the kind words. I made this video a while back - but I had a hard time releasing it because it was so personal for me. Love your content as well!
Love both your channels guys you are awesome
i love you improvement path.
I love your content, very to the point and extremely helpful 💖❤👏🙏
Shaan .. I am feeling great day by day and it's because of you . I have been struggling with anxiety thing from past 1 month. Though it's too early to say but your guidance helped me a lot in soothing my nerves and I feel like am on my way to recovery. Thanks again. I will update every now and then
I’m literally going through exactly what he’s talking about literally had almost all of it happen to me. This is pretty comforting to watch
Going through this now, thanks for posting this, I can 100% relate, glad you’re healed and enjoying life, congratulations!! 🥳😁🙌🏼
How are you now?
I promised I would come back if I ever recover. Oh man, here I am. I used to watch all of these videos over and over again, thinking I would never get out of this. But one thing is for sure: I am now recovered. And I'm not just saying it, i feel it. I don't know if this is even the right word, recovered, but you got the point. And I know it is frustrating because you don't hear people recovering from anxiety. But trust me, they exist. I am one example. They just don't come back here because they don't need this type of content anymore. I will not lie to you; it was a full journey. And it took some very hard months. But it was worth it. I now enjoy life again. I didn't took any treatment. I don't say it's bad; I just want to say that is possible with nothing else but willpower. For me personally, a game changer was when I started to relax my body again. Calm the body, and the mind will follow! Also, be patient with yourself. It will be a long-run journey, but it will pay off. And also, thank you, Shaan. You definitely had contributed to my journey. Peace and love to everybody!
I can relate so much to Shann and many others out there.
My first panic attack happened when I just finished secondary school and started college. It was scary and at that time nobody really spoke much about anxiety nor panic attacks. I remember during classes in college I would leave room and sit on bench checking on myself and feeling my wet sweaty hands. I felt alone and terrified, I didn’t know what I was going through. I kept going to hospitals for check ups & thinking I was seriously ill.
I don’t remember how but slowly anxiety and panic attacks disappeared ( I wish I kknew what I did ) and 10 or more years later I experienced another panic attack at this point I have forgotten how it feels like 😢so I panicked of some weird sensation I experienced ( like fainting, head spinning) I called my bf to come from work as I was telling him I was dying 😢 we went to ER and they did tests , nothing was wrong because when I got there I felt safe. It was hardest time of my life because the aftermath of panic attacks are something else. It took me long time to get better. Since then it’s been 4/5 years and some months are good , some are ok and some are bad. At the moment I am seeking some help because I realized I cannot do it by myself, unlike shaan i don’t have my family beside me as I live abroad, and I really wish they were here to support me 😢 I have hope and faith that I will find my way to get better, if we don’t push ourselves or keep going we will not survive in this 🌎 I would also like to think that anxiety is here to tell me a lot of things, I was happy before but I was not fully appreciating things in life, I always did things in a rush, I didn’t stop and look at the sky for longer than 1 minute, I didn’t appreciate my family or things I had in life , and list goes on…. At the end of the day we have to learn how to cope / overcome anything in life ❤ so we are all in this together, let’s do the work to succeed, remember just by feeling sorry for yourself won’t get u anywhere, only if we act we will see progress xxx sending everyone love and hugs whoever needs it 😊 🙏🤗

I have been going through this for 3 and a half years. it started with chronic dizziness for me. that developed into an obsessive fear that I was developing schizophrenia (I wasn't). that theme lasted for a year and a half before switching to numerous different topics along the way.i have went through periods of severe agoraphobia. this past week im starting to have the worst panic attacks of my life multiple times a day. I can't sleep much and ive developed a fear of eating because it seems to trigger these horrible attacks without fail. These attacks are lasting hours too, and once I finally start to come down from it I get hit with another intense wave of panic. ive been to the hospital 4 times in the past 2 weeks, one of those trips by ambulance. I dont know how im supposed to get over this. I am starting to believe that I actually need medication. ive held off on it for so long because of all of the UA-camrs saying that you dont need it. I have tried and tried to get better, and nothing has worked. I scheduled an apt with a psychiatrist the 20th. im hoping to get at least some of my old self back. this has taken just about everything from me, including my personality, goals, ambitions, relationships, etc.
Very sorry to hear all this. Is it only 3 years ago that it started or has it been recurring? Your age is important too.
I have Complex PTSD and I'm wondering if you've ever suffered any severe trauma, either 1 event or repeated shit, through childhood or the military maybe?
I think you need to speak 100% honestly to your doctor and/or mental health professional. There is a time and a place for meds sadly, there's only so much that "advice" or self-help stuff can achieve. Don't rule them out, I couldn't survive without certain meds.
I wish you all the best and always remember, you're not alone ❤
hello, thank you for taking the time to respond. I am currently 24 and my issues started before my 21st birthday. aside from emotional neglect from my parents I can't pinpoint a "serious" traumatic event nor I fixate on one thing inparticular. I definitely believe trauma plays a role however, as I have struggled with dissociation a lot. CPTSD has definitely been proposed as a diagnosis by a therapist in the past.
regardless, I am starting to see a psychiatrist because I cannot take it anymore. I just got fired from my job for calling out because of this. I am very scared for the future
@@thomasstrickland7383 emotional neglect could be more than enough to cause all your problems, don't underestimate it. Dissociation is weird ainnit, I too am affected by severe agoraphobia like you.
Try not to be scared (easier said than done) and be proud and positive that you're taking the first steps towards healing. You're still very young, this could all be a thing of the past soon with your whole life ahead of you 👍👍👍
All the very best with your bold and courageous decision to seek help. Contrary to opinions of many that don’t condone the use of ,medication , there are numerous stories of the positive effect of medication. I personally had both challenging and extremely positive experiences with medication. You must give it time and find the right psychiatrist and find the right medication that suits you. Believe in the medication, never abuse it and once you use it correctly, it could be a lifesaver. This. Is strictly my personal opinion based on my 8 year ordeal with General Anxiety Disorder and Major Depression. Be well and take care; importantly have faith in the process and your ability to overcome this. We are much more resilient than we think..
Yeah u have the same thing as me, can i ask, did this start with covid vax or covid?
This is exactly my story. this is exactly what i've been through and now i can say im recovering i accepted it, i accepted the symptons and feel it. I'm not scared of it anymore.
I used to have Anxiety because of my substances abused and mental abused. Once I stopped allowing those things in my life, the anxiety magically just when away. I can make a firm decision every time I needed to without any hesitation and doubt, don’t ever give away your power to anyone or anything that is not godly.. wish you all well...🙏
What substances if you don’t mind. I’ve struggled with anxiety a while and am now quitting nicotine and weed cold fueled. I’m on day 3 and am dying currently

I'm closing 2 years of that debilitating anxiety. That's enough, I choose life!
3 years n half same here bro :/
How are you 2 years later ?
The root cause of anxiety/panic disorder is inflammation in your stomach and esophagus caused by viral infection or bacterial infection.
@@CelestialTrailblazer that's my theory! Can u give us more detail
@@coffeeblogger7441 I don't think this is a coincidence that, since the start of cov!d, a lot of young healthy people with zero pre-existing condition magically all of a sudden started experiencing the exact same type of bizarre breathing issue.
I think cov!d damaged both the autonomic nervous/muscle systems. Apparently, everyone with Long Cov!d or post cov!d syndrome experiences not just shortness of breath due to what could be respiration/ diaphragm muscle freeze/malfunction along with abnormal high pulse rate upon slight exertion but also malfunction with the LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter Muscles) and swallowing muscles.
In my case, I apparently had chronic gastritis due to a poor diet and it also could be due to inflammation caused by post-cov!d damage. Additionally, I also had a h.pylori infection with symptoms that was blamed on anxiety nonsense for 8 months until it was diagnosed by a gastroenterologist after doing an upper endoscopy procedure. I think the h.pylori bacteria remained dormant until my whole system started to malfunction after catching cov!d.
So, all in all, most of my symptoms could be linked to post-cov!d damage, GERD, stomach and esophagus inflammation caused by both poor diet and, h.pylori infection .
My symptoms started back in April 2021 and only after June 2022, when I actually saw some meaningful improvement in my breathing problem and all the other symptoms in general. These days, I breathe 40% better or 40% closer to normal breathing.
I'm not a doctor but what helped me is changing my diet to a GERD-friendly and anti-inflammatory diet, sleeping at a 30 degree incline and avoiding the majority of physical stress and activities (ex: lawn mowing, snow shoveling, weightlifting, running, etc). Also, taking vitamin D2 as prescribed by my primary doctor. You have to be patient and give it time. You'll heal! Don't lose hope.
this video needs to go viral.
.its going to help alot of people.Thank you for this
I pray God Gives More Power to everyone who is dealing with this kindda painful phase
This is beautiful because I see myself in you. I’ve mentored others and help them overcome their anxieties. 👌😊
Came across this video for the 1st time. This is me watching it while going through anxiety at the very moment. Is not easy to come out and share your mental health story & recovery. Video was very calming.
Hope u get better soon
This video made me tear up just sitting over here wondering if it's anxiety I need to overcome in order to gain confidence. I hope one day I will overcome anxiety.
This video was heartfelt and wonderful keep up the great vids.
I had really bad anxiety. I started taking vitamin D and my anxiety went away. 😊
Hope this help! God bless
Thankyou shaan for coming forward and sharing ur story. Felt like I am not alone , who has been experiencing all of this
It started the same way for me except it was the other way around. The doctors were telling me I had anxiety while I was in complete denial. I was convinced I had something other than anxiety. I refused to medicate. I always believed in my mental fortitude. And I refused to believe that I had no control over my mental state. It wasn’t until the physical effects lingered for some time that they became debilitating. From difficulty breathing that lasted for weeks to IBS that lasted much longer, the symptoms became severe that I had to finally acknowledge them. The road to recovery did not happen overnight. And to this day it’s a continuous fight to overcome those episodes. I’m glad to see you beat anxiety.
Your videos have helped me so much. I have had anxiety my whole life, in I’m my late 40s, and your videos and techniques are the first ones that have made sense and “clicked” with me. You are also very sincere. Thank you
I have had anxiety all my life. It`s easy to just say ``Accept`` it. That`s like telling someone to keep their hand in a fire, you`ll come to accept it. It`s great Shaan that you are reaching out and helping people, but I wish it was as easy as you say to solve it. Alas for many it don`t work that way. Best of luck to anyone on here who reads this. Walking is very good i find for anxiety. It releases serotonin the happy mood. Give it a try. Good Luck. 👍
That’s the answer. That’s how I stopped my crippling anxiety a few years ago when this happened. Dont fight it! Let it do what it’s going to do, you’re fine! Embrace the feeling. You’re completely fine. Let it happen. Tell it to come on stronger. And it will fade away… we won’t be held down anymore.
I’m here now trying figure out why it’s back and I’ve been dealing with it for months. This time around experiencing different medications and I don’t need to
This was emotional to watch. Thank you for sharing & for always giving others HOPE in a time where Hope is the only thing we have ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Shaan. I suffer from anxiety and physical activity like sports always helped me with it. Last year I had disc bulge in my lower back . I got over it and still continued my physical activities to manage my anxiety. 2 months back I got a disc bulge in my neck and my lower back also seems to be hurting more . I'm quite depressed at the moment. Trying my best to be positive
This is what I’m going through and trying to tell my husband about it but he wouldn’t listen to me and it only made him more depressed, I feel so alone and so scared to talk to him about it because he may think I’m crazy and that I need to be strong that I’m better than this… but thank you for sharing this you are a blessing for the others 🙌
Hey, how have you been? I know it's been two months since your comment, I just wanna know since I'm now going through it.
@@DelvReign hey I’m doing good, sorry I was just going through some hormonal changes as I have just given birth not long ago… So it kind of raised my anxiety and didn’t know how to control it, I had it for 7 years and I knew how to control it but after having a child it made my anxiety worst. But what used to help me was to take some deep breath and bring my attention to what’s right there in the moment and it has been helping. I’m a really anxious person and I’m so alert with everything around me. But I hope you find relief, go to the gym, walks and listening to music should help you. I’m a believer so I listen to worship music and also I watch a lot of testimonies and it gives me peace.. everyone is different in healing. I wish you all the best and pray you have the peace of God 🙏🏼

Exactly me too ,palpitations and fast heart rate chest tightness and shortness of breath…my test are normal but still in symptomatic ..I’m boxed up in extreme fear ..fear of the rumination and intrusive thoughts..fear of things I can’t control …but I accept and I finally want to let go of the things I stomached in me and Deny denial ..I’ve accepted that it’s all in my head ..and I want to make peace with that

@@disshaa2435 I hope so and thank you so much for your concern it means a lot ❤️
anyone else feel like there heart is racing constantly and feel like you're going to have a heart attack like a slight pressure feeling? It's not a full blown panic attack, its like a half ass one 24/7 . this is most of my day. I have a weird adrenaline feeling in my brain constantly..super hard to describe.
Yes I feel the same 😞
I feel the same 😞
God bless you Shaan for sharing this with us---to see how something like Anxiety turned your life around in a good way---to help others. Thank you
Man i needed this today. I was doing good then slipped and started to spiral again but the past couple days i’ve forced myself to workout and that has been really helping. Just gotta get back into the routine again and continue on the path of acceptance. There will be good days, bad days, good weeks and bad weeks. We are not alone! Onward friends!
Im almost there!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Keep going!
Same gurl

I have struggled with anxiety fir 20 years and it appears randomly. I relate with everything you have shared, especially with accepting your anxiety. It taught me that exercise and for me personally yoga has assisted.❤
I have watched all of your videos and im waiting for more cant wait.
More to come!
As I sit here watching this profound video, I have tears welling up in my eyes. I am reminded of the shell of a person I was just two short years ago, with body pain and symptoms that convinced me I was dying every single day. I didn't correlate pain to poor mental health and I literally thought I was going crazy. It was until I had to finally surrender and accept that unless I took charge of my mental health, I would always feel like I was going to die. Discovering you has given me such a huge sense of validation for the first time ever. I am much better than I used to be. I couldn't see a way out. Watching your videos just solidifies how far I've come. I still need reminders every now and then but your videos and experiences are EVERYTHING to me. Thank you for holding your hand out to others and showing people how to overcome anxiety.
How did you help yourself? Did you take any medications at all?
@@jenniferlee9029 occasionally Ativan but I did lots of talk therapy and took better care of myself physically. I still have a bit of anxiety but nowhere near as bad as I was.
