Bro you are literally saying things that are literally going in my mind...like i think you understand anxiety 10x more than most of the therapists i have seen
this is absolutely genius!! i used the same method as per he said BECAUSE literally everything used to trigger my anxiety and i used this method for couple of months, it felt terrible, the last 2 months have been a real horror for me because i was literally overloaded with anxiety when i practiced this technique but i kept on believing that it will go away eventually, i said to my self " i know it will take some time to recover, rather than suffering with anxiety for years from now on in my life i would rather prefer to suffer intensely and face my anxiety for a while and then get over it" and it worked!!, and now i don't have the any of those fucking triggers anymore which even didn't let me study for last 8 months. trust me it was hard but wasn't impossible and all the credit goes to this guy that i rewired my nervous system. remember this, "TOUGH TIMES DON'T BUT TOUGH PEOPLE LAST"
I love what you said, coz yes, facing our anxiety and triggers will heighten our anxiety/panic for some time, as opposed to coping (which most of us have been doing for years)... but facing will ensure long term freedom I am hoping.
God I hope I get here..I was just sitting last night. Watching tv and boom. Out of nowhere I get this weird stomach ache from something I ate. Triggered my anxiety due to feeling nausea...I forgot to sit with with it and let it happen..I reacted in panic Like I couldn't think Like I forgot what I learned. The weird surreal feeling set in. Sweating...dizzy...tunnel vision. Tingling feet. Terrible thoughts of me dying or having to call 911... I'm sure you know. Suddenly I'm watching UA-cam...how to stop anxiety. Etc etc..but I know all this! It's the fear, makes u do crazy things. It's sooo hard remembering you won't die. U won't faint. U won't shake until you go crazy and end up in the Looney bin.
I had anxiety attacks for 4 years now everything triggers it and fear of dying have me not working and going places i am always at the worst case all the time high heart and pounding buttocks tension and squeezing loss appetite its really bad tried 3 SSRI meds had bad syptoms then the doc give a different one completely same result so i am only on larazepam that calms me
@@nicoladaisley9909always remember this: your mind says a lot of things like a broken record, but they are not real, your mind speaks even when you’re asleep, it won’t shut up but that doesn’t mean that what it says is real. Your mind always says things that make no sense because that’s how the mind works , everybody’s mind is like that Always remember that.
i'll tell you this, this is most amazing method to recover yourself, i beg you people to go on and use this method for next few months before trying anything else. this method might save years of your life, and please share this with more people who suffer from anxiety, they might get a lot more videos on how to cool it down for a while which won't work for long term but trust me on this, the method our brother talks about is absolutely the most right thing to do if you don't wanna end up going to one therapist to another for years form now.
But I haven't seen a single person say I have recovered 100% and this fuels my anxiety.. but like Shaan says people who have recovered aren't on forums anymore :) I hope thats true
Are u recovered? Somedays I am fine. I go weeks at a time without one. And than I went to a birthday party and had cake and coffee and too much food. Woke up at 5sm with bad stomach and felt anxious...and it started a mini panic attack....I think the difference was, I didn't panic..I tried to just let it BE. I didn't react in fear. I assume the more ppl practice this. The better their recovery would go.!!
i used to be that person who cant get out of the bed bcs of my anxiety . Today its 2months on my journey of recovery i can say im 90% recovered i came back to my normal life there s some symptoms i still feel them i still deal with the setbacks but they dont scare me anymore at all . and the secret for me was to face my fearsssss i remember my 2 first weeks of recovery i was pushing my self to go out to get triggered and i had a panic attack day 1 day 2 day 3 day 4 day 5 and boom i can go out normally now i can sit on a restaurant on a coffee hanging out with friend im back to exercising again after breaking the cardio phobia ( i did the same thing again with exercising i faace my feear ) so guys face your fear accept that its just anxiety let the symptmos go and come and live your normal life

2 years sense finding his channel and jesus almost simultaneously and I'm 75% better. I was agorifobic and thought I would be broken for ever. This and Jesus works! I'm working and doing all the things I did before the anxiety came! Still get flair ups but they last minute or a day or so not months!
Nowadays I just stop giving a crap about it. At first I worried to panic but now when I know its anxiety causing my symptoms then I just let it be there. I go screened by doctor. BP is fine, breathing is fine, my eye sight is okay after visiting my eye doctor for yearly check-up, and I been working out more for my own health and eating right. Not saying I did those two last things to get rid of anxiety since that is a distracting technique so I see them as useful for my general health like when i mediate. IT WAS FREAKING HARD, but don't despair about. All you sufferers like me it gets easy the more you practice in letting go and being consistent with it
This is really it guys. I got trapped into watching too many videos about it, because I felt that in one of these videos, there'll be a magical solution, like a switch which I can just turn off. There isn't. After relentlessly watching too many videos over the last 2-3 years, I think I am finally accepting that there's no magical answer to it. The answer had always been there, but I was too scared to follow through with it. Start small. If you cannot leave the house now, try leaving the house 2 times a day, then 3 timws, then 5 times. Slowly, over the course of time you'll be able to train your brain that it is not a real threat, only a false alarm of an overprotective nervous system. PS: Again, don't try to watch all the videos, read all the books, click on all the articles. Again, THERE'S NO MAGICAL SWITCH OUT THERE.
I literally started to feel anxiety symptoms literally a couple days ago cuz I had a really bad sugar rush. But then I began to watch your videos and it helped a lot! I began to just let the symptoms pass with out fighting it and suddenly my life became a lot easier 😭
I suffered about 4 panic attacks in 1 week (on a bad hangover) which made me fear anxiety so much that it developed into social anxiety...I don't understand this as ive always been such a sociable being, but I think its come from the fear of not wanting to get anxious infront of people
You understand my anxiety so well!!! Everything you say in this video is correct for me. I was experiencing it around three years ago, BUT recovered fully. I had some panic attacks on stage this year and due to heat exhaustion in a meeting room at the end of last year. I am feeling somewhat anxious this year, BUT I am not very worried because I recovered using this method you include in this video and will again. It is just a matter of a few weeks time. You are helping so many people.
Yes. Retrain your limbic system using your prefrontal cortex. It is not easy, let me be clear, but it works. When I got the panic attack on stage the other day, I knew that ai had left the stage Inwould have lost the battle. Glue yourself to the floor where you are and stand your ground. Even if you feel dizzy, even if you depersonalise, even if you want to cry. Stand where you are and don’t run away.
Just so people reading this know. I managed to recover from panic disorder a second time in my life. Took about three weeks this time l. I am over it again
This may work for social type anxiety but not so sure about specific phobias such as needle phobia. The blood draw I had the other day brought me ever so close to fainting. The dizziness was incredible. I am in my 60s and avoided doctors for many years. I soooo wish I could get a handle on this. I was lying there waiting for the panic to pass. My nerves were a mess for an hour after. Couldn’t even drive for 15 mins.
I thought it was just me that got triggered by coffee 😮😮 I used to really enjoy a coffee or two but I somehow convinced myself that when I drink the coffee I’ll like spiral into a crazy anxiety filled day but yet I can drink tea (Irish version of tea so breakfast tea I think it’s known as sometimes) and recently learned that there’s actually nearly twice as much caffeine in that as there is in a latte.. shann we learn every day!! Thank you
God I hope I get here..I was just sitting last night. Watching tv and boom. Out of nowhere I get this weird stomach ache from something I ate.

My brother, since you start doing this, this is one of your video that I like and help me and better explain how to overcome anxiety this is the best method that can help overcome anxiety. I am on therapy right now but I am scared to container of it because in the future, without the medication, I don’t know why anxiety will do to me so the day anxiety, strong on me I take it if no I will not take because I don’t know the future👂
After a traumatic event, the panic happens during sleep, waking up shaking the more I think about waking up shaking. How can sleep panic/anxiety be addressed?
Thank you! How do you respond and not react when your whole being is screaming to leave the particular situation? Dizziness, heartbeat, flushed, sometimes even facial numbness. I can’t pay attention to people speaking with me. Only in certain one on one situations. Thank you so much for any insight.
You recognize that you are paying attention to how you’re feeling and the symptoms which means you are in your head, then you refocus OUTWARDS to the present moment to the conversation you’re or whatever you’re doing, and you just keep doing this as much as it’s needed then eventually your nervous system will recognize that there’s no threat and no need to react that way.. it’s about acknowledging and then refocus to the present moment
@@mikelrano2557 whatever the trauma that happened to you that’s not what keep you stuck since it’s behind you and in the past it’s all about how you react to it in the present moment that keeps it alive. So just do what Shaan teaches you and you’ll be back to living and the thing that traumatized you will be a thing in the past
@@mikelrano2557 how are u feeling now?? I am in your place now..all the symptoms u have. I have them all. Every single day. It's a living hell. It's so hard NOT to react. I freeze. I start watching videos on repeat. I drink cold water. I start trying to walk for hours anything to get rid of it But that wasn't good because I was REACTING to my anxiety instead of letting it be..and just breathing normally I was trying to fight it. And fighting it wasn't a good idea. I did create more panic.
I sit down and I’m calm and all of a sudden my hearts racing, feel like it’s gonna explode and I’m having uncomfortable random jerks in my body and muscles tense up and feel theirs electricity running through my body for no reason at all and don’t even think it’s my brain it’s my body. I sometimes think it’s not anxiety it’s something else. Anybody else feel this way? This also started a week ago after I smoked weed.
Yeah I feel like that everyday. I already have a obsessive thought of what I think it can be but I rather not share that cause I don't want other people to start thinking negative 😭
I’m having the exact same thing happen. It happened after I had an edible and sporadically after, you described it perfectly. My heart races, I feel like my soul is leaving my body and I feel like the feeling is never going to end. It’s terrifying
@@hi.5513 For me its like a wave of vibrating tingling pain i feel from my Hands to my head. Its kinda quick. But my mind reacts before I have a chance to respond.
Shaan says people who have fully recovered aren't even on forums or watching videos anymore... I hope thats true , coz my biggest intrusive thoughts are "recovery isn't possible, and I am broken forever", and these thoughts sound convincing.
I have severe health anxiety and try to recover. Recently got triggered by possible health issues of family members. Do you also face this??I got sooo afraid that my loved ones may have some kind of illness that i totally broke down. How do you handle these episodes? Thank you!
I'm trying to overcome my anxiety attacks by this exact method. But one thing which I just cannot overcome is my frequent saliva swallowing, if I don't swallow in a few seconds, it gives chocking sensations which leaves me breathless. Please can anyone help me find the solution?
Damn bro, I was doing pretty well, But i feel like i fell back to square 1, My triggers trigger so much anxiety bruh, Idk whether this is a setback but damn, Its pretty insane to go back to like square 1, Im here again Tryna learn how to handle the symptoms as i learn to live my life
Ive allowed emotions be a trigger. Have actually said numerous times its because im dealing with something emotional so my anxiety is now higher.. im learning that im fueling that and have created an unhealthy balance. I now fear emotional sad moments and try to be numb to them out of fear of spiraling thoughts...
I can completely relate to your videos. They are starting to help me. I have a doctor appointment today and have been feeling anxiety over it. Its just a routine physical but i get anxiety because im not good at waiting in exam room for so long and because im afraid of the bloodwork results. And also just waiting im afraid ill make a fool of myself to the doctor because of the anxiety showing on my face. Any suggestions?
Yes it does! Makes you feel like your life is falling apart. It’s important to keep in mind in the hard moments that as much as you’d like to go back to how things were before anxiety, your goal should be to come out of this a better version of yourself. One that knows how to navigate anxiety and overwhelm (since your old self’s habits led you to this stage in life to begin with). Be gentle with yourself, practice positive self talk, and BE PATIENT! You got this!
I try to remember my old self but it's hard sometimes I can't even talk and I'm just like what's going on why is this happening. Even when I'm calm I still don't feel myself . I'm either crying agitated or have guilt and shame and feel like a burden . I keep having these clarity moments when life is beautiful and clear but they aren't staying they last for only so long . I get upset cuz I want those moments back . It's like the depression lifted and everything that happened in the past wasn't real . I want that moment back . Sometimes I wanna go to a mental home to get fixed is that fighting the anxiety ?
Not sure if you’ll see this, but how did you get back to driving after becoming agoraphobic? driving alone has become a fear for me as well, I haven’t driven in a few months
Anger no friends no families support no advice correctly to he see to you your mistake all of them are amazing person that are correctly and no bad say them.
Hey, I wanna ask if it is possible to be physical sick and you are scared and have panic attacts and you use these methods to ease your nerves and triggers so will it work? I am not in best health and worries me alot now and scared it will lead to something dangerous so will this somehow help me?
I scared of my anxietu feeling but I let it be there but if I see tyoes of people who are My age and i got bullied a lot in school my anxiety get high I have hard time doing accepting method in types of situations and float method dosent work think ibam gonna try cbt reframe them stuff
It’s not about the trauma or the trigger it’s still your thinking habits that need corrected. Bad thinking habits means being in our heads too much when we should focus outward to the present moment and what we are doing. Acknowledge it’s just intrusive thoughts and move your focus elsewhere
There are suplements that are vital for anxiety sufferers. Vit B12 and magnesium. Magnesium gets rid of palpitations...especially Magnesium Taurate. B12 or a lack of it makes you tired and nervous...magnesium helps you to calm down quicker and sleep much better. Alongside practicing Shaan's formula, these may help you feel less tired and more calm....
I am currently taking b12 was deficient bc I am a vegetarian. I have severe anxiety and panic but since taking the b12 and eating magnesium rich foods it has helped some. I was put on a antidepressant and the first night was actually hell. I could barely walk shaking so bad, sweating profusely, pounding heart worse then any panic attack I’ve had couldn’t hardly talk get out what was going on to my boyfriend. He took my to the hospital and they said I was having a panic attack wanted to sedate me. I told them no didn’t take it again and had to withdrawal from one dose it took 5days I thought I was losing my mind. I looked up natural remedies it said b12 and magnesium.
and what if you are really aware that your sympthoms are caused by anxiety but they scare you anyway?? i never thought that my symptoms were caused by any health disease but they threats me anyway...cause i'm terrified of feeling panic attacks....so the problem for me is not the thought of having diseases but experiencing the fear....
Same here, I can't feel my arms much. It is so numb and it is hard for me to grab things as I can't hold stuffs for long. It is so disturbing for me because my aunt recently passed away because she also used to have extreme anxiety and her hands used to shake, then went numb and wouldn't able to do stuffs to the point her whole body went paralyzed. She was like this for 11 years and then went paralyzed fully for 5 years to the point she won't even talk. I am so scared of this, I can't accept it. I just turned 22 and this numbness in my body is constantly giving me major panic attacks. I don't know how to deal with this and I can't even tell someone. I tried to tell my sis but she got so pissed of at me, that I am too immature but these feelings and fears are really real and am so alone always.
Is it common with anxiety to feel chest discomfort and tytness 24/7 without feeling anxious,, does hyperventilation cause tension in muscles for long,, I m 21 three years ago I had ecg and I was told I have panic disorder,,,, since then every day new symptoms pop up Nd trouble me even acceptance don't work effectively,,,, now a days i feel regular chest discomfort,,, I do sit for long hrs for studies it may be due to it but I m not very sure,,, my chest neck shoulder seem stiff all the time 😰😰😰
It is absolutely normal ma'am. Gradually when you start believing that it is absolutely normal then u would find that horrible symptom of yours has gone away. I have been noticing you for such a long time about being terrified owing to your symptoms. Actually let me tell you dear if your chest tightness would have been due to some terrible disease it could have killed you way back..... Relax maam it is just anxiety just focus on actual methods of acceptance.... trust me you would find yourself to be a better person than ever before
Are you saying to just act like you are not scared? Like I get triggered every morning with body symptoms and then it lasts most of the day. When I wake up I should just spend the day acting like I am fine?
Can you have anxiety without heart palpitations ? I always feel out of it Disoriented I feel like I'm always loosing control or disoriented . I isolate myself cuz I don't wanna feel this way around people .
@@mathewrinehart530 Yes, anxiety doesn’t always have to feel the same and can manifest in different ways and 100s of different symptoms and weird sensations. Generally the symptom you fear the most will be magnified 10x worse than what it really is. Like Shaun said in previous videos, anxiety is the biggest trickster at convincing you that something is wrong with your body. The less fear, attention, and interest that you give these symptoms when they arise, the quicker they will eventually subside and disappear. As long as your doctor says your ok, you literally have nothing to be concerned about.
Man for me I used to play a bunch of video games on my Xbox and now I can’t even sit in my room and play. I’ve been robbed of everything I like. I just want to go back to who I was I love smoking weed and playing video games but it’s hard to do either now. Some times I’m fine some times it’s intense. Will I go back to the old me?
as true as all this sounds, my main trigger is the smell of weed and cigarettes so how do i face that? i mean it’s literally weed(the mind controller) i caused this by smoking weed for the first time cause i was emotionally sad from my relationship soo bear with me
Hi Shan, i was on my way to recovery and i had to work in night shift for one week and i all my symptoms came back..now night shift is my trigger.does that mean i need to go back to night shift and experience the symptoms..can anyone help me what to do in this case..i can't go to night shift because i can't sleep in the day..
You'll do fine.. just stay strong.. Pro tip - carry something to divert your mind, maybe read a book or listen to songs , carry some chocolates ..i also carry essential oils that helps in relieving anxiety.. just a smell of them helps me calm down my mind... Once all your 5 senses are in control.. nothing could trigger anxiety.. Also, just believe things are gonna be just fine.. you are not alone...we are all in this together 🙌
Now that I have realized my symptoms of anxiety and I’m not dying I literally still don’t trust myself about not having anxiety anymore like omg I’m having anxiety about having anxiety 😩😩😩
Me too . Even even I know that what is causing my anxiety is not going to happen but now I still get anxiety . It’s like I’m gettting anxiety for no apparent reason
It all started with a panic attack, now I'm not worried about a panic attack I'm worried about having all these intrusive thoughts, these feelings of unease and derealization that I have had for the past month, I was actually on paroxetine for 13 years now it stopped working so I hope that these feelings and symptoms and thoughts will go away on their own
To accelerate your recovery journey, book a discovery call to see if the mentorship with Shaan will help your specific situation: byebyepanic.lpages.co/scq-funnel-optin-page/
There is no cure, at least not for me, I'm living proof of that statement... 35 years of extreme anxiety/panic... I've had every symptom going. I'm 52 this year and today has been awful again. If you have recovered then I am so happy for you because I would not wish this living hell on any human.
@@fractalofgod6324 yes you can overcome it, there’s people who had it for more than 40 years and they overcome it in 6 months or less, you just have to have the mindset and respond good to your intrusive thoughts
I struggle with health anxiety, panic disorder and I’ve been stuck in depersonalisation for about 5 months from the chronic stress from being so worried about my physical symptoms.. I feel out of body Can’t recognise myself Voice sounds like it’s not my own Tense muscles Feel like I’m not real Feel sick when I think about myself because I feel like I don’t know myself My arms don’t feel like my own Struggle to be around family and friends Conversations are nearly impossible because of the sensation I feel..

I am feeling somewhat anxious this year, BUT I am not very worried because I recovered using this method you include in this video and will again. It is just a matter of a few weeks time. You are helping so many people.
Yes. Retrain your limbic system using your prefrontal cortex. It is not easy, let me be clear, but it works. When I got the panic attack on stage the other day, I knew that ai had left the stage Inwould have lost the battle. Glue yourself to the floor where you are and stand your ground. Even if you feel dizzy, even if you depersonalise, even if you want to cry. Stand where you are and don’t run away.
Just so people reading this know. I managed to recover from panic disorder a second time in my life. Took about three weeks this time l. I am over it again
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I needed to read each word you wrote so badly. God bless you!
Complete all your work, don't keep it for tomorrow, keep a good relationship with family and friends and excommunicate toxic friends
Thanks so much Shaan, your videos have helped me out tremendously!
This may work for social type anxiety but not so sure about specific phobias such as needle phobia. The blood draw I had the other day brought me ever so close to fainting. The dizziness was incredible. I am in my 60s and avoided doctors for many years. I soooo wish I could get a handle on this. I was lying there waiting for the panic to pass. My nerves were a mess for an hour after. Couldn’t even drive for 15 mins.
So powerful and empathic words when it comes from a fellow sufferer. Thanks for your words and compassion
I thought it was just me that got triggered by coffee 😮😮 I used to really enjoy a coffee or two but I somehow convinced myself that when I drink the coffee I’ll like spiral into a crazy anxiety filled day but yet I can drink tea (Irish version of tea so breakfast tea I think it’s known as sometimes) and recently learned that there’s actually nearly twice as much caffeine in that as there is in a latte.. shann we learn every day!! Thank you
I am almost recovered but the stigma related to mental illness not letting me go and dragging me again into it
God I hope I get here..I was just sitting last night. Watching tv and boom. Out of nowhere I get this weird stomach ache from something I ate. Triggered my anxiety due to feeling nausea...I forgot to sit with with it and let it happen..I reacted in panic
Like I couldn't think
Like I forgot what I learned. The weird surreal feeling set in. Sweating...dizzy...tunnel vision. Tingling feet. Terrible thoughts of me dying or having to call 911...
I'm sure you know.
Suddenly I'm watching UA-cam...how to stop anxiety. Etc etc..but I know all this!
It's the fear, makes u do crazy things. It's sooo hard remembering you won't die. U won't faint. U won't shake until you go crazy and end up in the Looney bin
My brother, since you start doing this, this is one of your video that I like and help me and better explain how to overcome anxiety this is the best method that can help overcome anxiety. I am on therapy right now but I am scared to container of it because in the future, without the medication, I don’t know why anxiety will do to me so the day anxiety, strong on me I take it if no I will not take because I don’t know the future👂
Thank you very much sir 😊
You say to respond to the triggers, but what should the response be?
To just ignore?
After a traumatic event, the panic happens during sleep, waking up shaking the more I think about waking up shaking. How can sleep panic/anxiety be addressed?
How do you respond correctly? is there a step by step guide?!
Best video shaan❤
Wonderful . Thank you so much sir❤
Thank you! How do you respond and not react when your whole being is screaming to leave the particular situation? Dizziness, heartbeat, flushed, sometimes even facial numbness. I can’t pay attention to people speaking with me. Only in certain one on one situations. Thank you so much for any insight.
You recognize that you are paying attention to how you’re feeling and the symptoms which means you are in your head, then you refocus OUTWARDS to the present moment to the conversation you’re or whatever you’re doing, and you just keep doing this as much as it’s needed then eventually your nervous system will recognize that there’s no threat and no need to react that way.. it’s about acknowledging and then refocus to the present moment
@@ImVictoriaRose do you think that even the worst emotional trauma can get healed?
@@mikelrano2557 whatever the trauma that happened to you that’s not what keep you stuck since it’s behind you and in the past it’s all about how you react to it in the present moment that keeps it alive. So just do what Shaan teaches you and you’ll be back to living and the thing that traumatized you will be a thing in the past
@@ImVictoriaRose thank you very much, what about you, have you ever experienced any emotional trauma, anxiety?
@@mikelrano2557 how are u feeling now?? I am in your place now..all the symptoms u have. I have them all. Every single day. It's a living hell. It's so hard NOT to react. I freeze. I start watching videos on repeat. I drink cold water. I start trying to walk for hours anything to get rid of it
But that wasn't good because I was REACTING to my anxiety instead of letting it be..and just breathing normally I was trying to fight it. And fighting it wasn't a good idea. I did create more panic.
I have been having depersonalization symptoms here lately how can I overcome it
I sit down and I’m calm and all of a sudden my hearts racing, feel like it’s gonna explode and I’m having uncomfortable random jerks in my body and muscles tense up and feel theirs electricity running through my body for no reason at all and don’t even think it’s my brain it’s my body. I sometimes think it’s not anxiety it’s something else. Anybody else feel this way? This also started a week ago after I smoked weed.
Yeah I feel like that everyday. I already have a obsessive thought of what I think it can be but I rather not share that cause I don't want other people to start thinking negative 😭
They are called body zapps, From anxiety. And they can be frequent. Mine happens when I being still and sometimes moving.
I’m having the exact same thing happen. It happened after I had an edible and sporadically after, you described it perfectly. My heart races, I feel like my soul is leaving my body and I feel like the feeling is never going to end. It’s terrifying
@@mccheezen20 oh ok thanks can you please tell me what the zaps feel like so I can understand bro
@@hi.5513 For me its like a wave of vibrating tingling pain i feel from my Hands to my head. Its kinda quick. But my mind reacts before I have a chance to respond.
Thanks Shaan! Your videos really do help!
as a sean, this spoke to me :)
Shaan says people who have fully recovered aren't even on forums or watching videos anymore... I hope thats true , coz my biggest intrusive thoughts are "recovery isn't possible, and I am broken forever", and these thoughts sound convincing.
Trust me it is possible. Don’t listen to those thoughts
Thank you Shaan!!
I have severe health anxiety and try to recover. Recently got triggered by possible health issues of family members. Do you also face this??I got sooo afraid that my loved ones may have some kind of illness that i totally broke down. How do you handle these episodes? Thank you!
I understand you.. experiencing this
I'm trying to overcome my anxiety attacks by this exact method. But one thing which I just cannot overcome is my frequent saliva swallowing, if I don't swallow in a few seconds, it gives chocking sensations which leaves me breathless. Please can anyone help me find the solution?
brother, thank you so much for all this kind help you are giving people!!! 😍
Just started to watch and trust mi need help and the steps how ca do I let anxiety pass by what’s the right thing to do when it triggers
Shaan u r awesome brother ❤
Thanks a lot brother.
Damn bro, I was doing pretty well, But i feel like i fell back to square 1, My triggers trigger so much anxiety bruh, Idk whether this is a setback but damn, Its pretty insane to go back to like square 1, Im here again Tryna learn how to handle the symptoms as i learn to live my life
I don't why anything I'm sitting with my friends 😔 i will feel running and shouting 😞 like I'm dealing 😔
Ive allowed emotions be a trigger. Have actually said numerous times its because im dealing with something emotional so my anxiety is now higher.. im learning that im fueling that and have created an unhealthy balance. I now fear emotional sad moments and try to be numb to them out of fear of spiraling thoughts...
I can completely relate to your videos. They are starting to help me. I have a doctor appointment today and have been feeling anxiety over it. Its just a routine physical but i get anxiety because im not good at waiting in exam room for so long and because im afraid of the bloodwork results. And also just waiting im afraid ill make a fool of myself to the doctor because of the anxiety showing on my face. Any suggestions?
Is anybody having trouble downloading the ebook? The link doesn't seem to be working for me. Maybe because it's 2 years ago?
Can anxiety take your personality away and make you feel out of it ? And your just barely hanging in there ?
Yeah it does
Yes it does! Makes you feel like your life is falling apart.
It’s important to keep in mind in the hard moments that as much as you’d like to go back to how things were before anxiety, your goal should be to come out of this a better version of yourself. One that knows how to navigate anxiety and overwhelm (since your old self’s habits led you to this stage in life to begin with). Be gentle with yourself, practice positive self talk, and BE PATIENT!
You got this!
I try to remember my old self but it's hard sometimes I can't even talk and I'm just like what's going on why is this happening. Even when I'm calm I still don't feel myself . I'm either crying agitated or have guilt and shame and feel like a burden . I keep having these clarity moments when life is beautiful and clear but they aren't staying they last for only so long . I get upset cuz I want those moments back . It's like the depression lifted and everything that happened in the past wasn't real . I want that moment back .
Sometimes I wanna go to a mental home to get fixed is that fighting the anxiety ?
Can you have DPDR without everything looking fake ? I feel like mine is just out of it disoriented and feel like in loosing control .
I also been diagnosed with bi polar MDD GAD should I trust her or could it be all anxiety ?
Not sure if you’ll see this, but how did you get back to driving after becoming agoraphobic? driving alone has become a fear for me as well, I haven’t driven in a few months
That’s what I’m trying to work on . I only drive with somebody in the car with me
what do you mean with responding correctly????
Anger no friends no families support no advice correctly to he see to you your mistake all of them are amazing person that are correctly and no bad say them.
Hey, I wanna ask if it is possible to be physical sick and you are scared and have panic attacts and you use these methods to ease your nerves and triggers so will it work? I am not in best health and worries me alot now and scared it will lead to something dangerous so will this somehow help me?
It works, not only it works this is the only way to get better
I scared of my anxietu feeling but I let it be there but if I see tyoes of people who are My age and i got bullied a lot in school my anxiety get high I have hard time doing accepting method in types of situations and float method dosent work think ibam gonna try cbt reframe them stuff
It’s not about the trauma or the trigger it’s still your thinking habits that need corrected. Bad thinking habits means being in our heads too much when we should focus outward to the present moment and what we are doing. Acknowledge it’s just intrusive thoughts and move your focus elsewhere
Its definitely understandable you would feel that way
Is hands and legs pain anxiety symptoms?
Also
There are suplements that are vital for anxiety sufferers. Vit B12 and magnesium. Magnesium gets rid of palpitations...especially Magnesium Taurate. B12 or a lack of it makes you tired and nervous...magnesium helps you to calm down quicker and sleep much better. Alongside practicing Shaan's formula, these may help you feel less tired and more calm....
I am currently taking b12 was deficient bc I am a vegetarian. I have severe anxiety and panic but since taking the b12 and eating magnesium rich foods it has helped some. I was put on a antidepressant and the first night was actually hell. I could barely walk shaking so bad, sweating profusely, pounding heart worse then any panic attack I’ve had couldn’t hardly talk get out what was going on to my boyfriend. He took my to the hospital and they said I was having a panic attack wanted to sedate me. I told them no didn’t take it again and had to withdrawal from one dose it took 5days I thought I was losing my mind. I looked up natural remedies it said b12 and magnesium.
@@tarinavaughn4041go carnivore get outside watch the sunrise be in nature as much as possible
and what if you are really aware that your sympthoms are caused by anxiety but they scare you anyway?? i never thought that my symptoms were caused by any health disease but they threats me anyway...cause i'm terrified of feeling panic attacks....so the problem for me is not the thought of having diseases but experiencing the fear....
Exactly i am going through this
Is it easy to do? Can you give me some tips?
How to response ??
How long does it take to retrain your nervous system?
I thought I was crazy when to the doctor they run test and found nothing I get nerve and muscle twitching all over n vibrating ankle
Your magnesium level is low....
I had SVT I guess they gave me a heart ablation and now I just get panic attacks and my heart doesn’t go 190 ft./min.
What about feeling like loosing control in your arms ?
Acknowledge it’s anxiety and laugh it off. Move focus away from how you’re feeling
@@ImVictoriaRose How do you know when your out of DPDR? I feel like I have glossy eyes
Same here, I can't feel my arms much. It is so numb and it is hard for me to grab things as I can't hold stuffs for long. It is so disturbing for me because my aunt recently passed away because she also used to have extreme anxiety and her hands used to shake, then went numb and wouldn't able to do stuffs to the point her whole body went paralyzed. She was like this for 11 years and then went paralyzed fully for 5 years to the point she won't even talk. I am so scared of this, I can't accept it. I just turned 22 and this numbness in my body is constantly giving me major panic attacks. I don't know how to deal with this and I can't even tell someone. I tried to tell my sis but she got so pissed of at me, that I am too immature but these feelings and fears are really real and am so alone always.
Is it common with anxiety to feel chest discomfort and tytness 24/7 without feeling anxious,, does hyperventilation cause tension in muscles for long,, I m 21 three years ago I had ecg and I was told I have panic disorder,,,, since then every day new symptoms pop up Nd trouble me even acceptance don't work effectively,,,, now a days i feel regular chest discomfort,,, I do sit for long hrs for studies it may be due to it but I m not very sure,,, my chest neck shoulder seem stiff all the time 😰😰😰
Yess i do , it's common
It is absolutely normal ma'am. Gradually when you start believing that it is absolutely normal then u would find that horrible symptom of yours has gone away. I have been noticing you for such a long time about being terrified owing to your symptoms. Actually let me tell you dear if your chest tightness would have been due to some terrible disease it could have killed you way back..... Relax maam it is just anxiety just focus on actual methods of acceptance.... trust me you would find yourself to be a better person than ever before

Are you saying to just act like you are not scared? Like I get triggered every morning with body symptoms and then it lasts most of the day. When I wake up I should just spend the day acting like I am fine?
Link to the book?
Its in description
Can you have anxiety without heart palpitations ? I always feel out of it
Disoriented
I feel like I'm always loosing control or disoriented . I isolate myself cuz I don't wanna feel this way around people .
Yes, completely normal! Disorientation, brain fog, etc..
@@robertcatesby157 can disoriented feel diff at times ? Not all the same ?
What about out of nowhere I feel muted like don't wanna talk ?
@@mathewrinehart530 Yes, anxiety doesn’t always have to feel the same and can manifest in different ways and 100s of different symptoms and weird sensations. Generally the symptom you fear the most will be magnified 10x worse than what it really is. Like Shaun said in previous videos, anxiety is the biggest trickster at convincing you that something is wrong with your body. The less fear, attention, and interest that you give these symptoms when they arise, the quicker they will eventually subside and disappear. As long as your doctor says your ok, you literally have nothing to be concerned about.
@@robertcatesby157 I keep getting the same pattern. Like it's patterns I recognized rotating . And I'll have flashbacks of the patterns.

Hi Shan, i was on my way to recovery and i had to work in night shift for one week and i all my symptoms came back..now night shift is my trigger.does that mean i need to go back to night shift and experience the symptoms..can anyone help me what to do in this case..i can't go to night shift because i can't sleep in the day..

I’ve heard great things about him!
I have to get on a 12 hour flight in a week and I'm not gonna lie - I'm terrified
You'll do fine.. just stay strong..
Pro tip - carry something to divert your mind, maybe read a book or listen to songs , carry some chocolates ..i also carry essential oils that helps in relieving anxiety.. just a smell of them helps me calm down my mind... Once all your 5 senses are in control.. nothing could trigger anxiety..
Also, just believe things are gonna be just fine.. you are not alone...we are all in this together 🙌

Now that I have realized my symptoms of anxiety and I’m not dying I literally still don’t trust myself about not having anxiety anymore like omg I’m having anxiety about having anxiety 😩😩😩
Me too . Even even I know that what is causing my anxiety is not going to happen but now I still get anxiety . It’s like I’m gettting anxiety for no apparent reason
It all started with a panic attack, now I'm not worried about a panic attack I'm worried about having all these intrusive thoughts, these feelings of unease and derealization that I have had for the past month, I was actually on paroxetine for 13 years now it stopped working so I hope that these feelings and symptoms and thoughts will go away on their own
