I’ve cried in public places because of this or I’ve even avoided hanging with family I’m not alone but i do want to be genuinely happy instead of faking it
It was my #1 issue during my extreme anxiety, it is a very normal response as your body and mind are going through a drastic shift. Hang in there: This too shall pass
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "social anxiety how to overcome" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Telaavar Anxious Amanita - (just google it )? It is a great exclusive product for removing the root cause of social anxiety without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey got excellent results with it.
Thank you brother you give me strength we are the same feeling the time that you have panic attack until now i am fighting for this im hoping and praying one day i will be ok thank you and God bless
I can’t sleep at night 🙂right now I’m having a panic attack i feel like I’m out of my body🙂ufff Allah my panic attack getting worse aab yeh saara din mujhe nhi chorti i feel panic attack all day all time 🙂i feel like my soul want to leave my body ufff what to do🙃🙂🙂🙂I can’t even feel myself
"The scariest place I've ever been is my own head." This hit me hard. Thank you for this video. I have been consumed by anxiety and off for many years, and I'm finally getting getting help and being proactive with learning how to live with it. It's a long, long process and some days are very hard, but also some days are good. Some weeks are good. And I'm proud of myself for continuing to endure this. To anyone out there who is going through this struggle, I'm proud of you for every moment you have managed to cope. Other quotes that resonated: "Nothing is permanent, it's always changing. Things need to unfold in their own way." "What you resist, persists." "In the days that are low, go with the flow." "I love having you here. You are a part of my life. I am not going to push you away. But you do not get to attack me. You are a part of my life, just as I am a part of you. You do not get to take the power."
Tara, I am so humbled by your message. It means more to me than you can imagine that you have taken the time to share your takeaways. Means the world to see this video and message impacted you (and found you!) I am here for you dear friend ♥ Your journey is unique but we all share a common passion to grow and thrive. Let me know how I can help! Your friend, Arsalan
I can relate to this so much!! I fought my anxiety until the very end and I wish I would have tried to heal sooner before it got really bad. I have a very severe anxiety disorder and now depression, OCD etc. Currently in the middle of healing, sending hugs to anyone and everyone going through this!! You are strong, keep going, nothing is too hard to overcome.
You can absolutely over it. I watched Dr Michael Norman and trust we can get out of this for good. saying through my experience. You are brave and you will be fine ❤️
“i hated going to sleep at night because i didn’t know… i didn’t want to wake up the next day” hit too close to home. the way you describe anxiety and dissociation is so accurate. i hope more ppl who have never had to go thru this watch this so they can better understand
That's actually true. It tricks you into believing that you have to figure out what's happening and fight it when you don't and when you do, it's a set up for failure but it happens to the best of us.
One hour ago, I had another panic attack and the soothing music and breathing was unable to calm me down. So I came here and listened to your story again. Your personal story always bring me hope. Thank you very much for sharing your story! I am feeling a lot better now.
I am honored to hear this. Please remind yourself that "This too shall pass". Also, I have a few more anxiety videos on my channel that will help you tremendously, be sure to give them a listen for more insights from my personal story. Stay strong! -Arsalan
DUUUUUDE THIS VIIIIDEOOOOO I've been dealing with depression since 15 - my anxiety and panic attacks since early 20s - now at thirty I've just overcome the darkest year of my life and am trying with all my might to defeat my demons and be able to live to my potential Thank you for not being just another youtuber screaming 'believe in yourself! You've gasts thiiiis!' you shared a true story and I can see that your anxiety was a true experience. I originally just needed some reassurance that I wasn't alone and that others have overcome the paralysing life situation I am in... but little would I discover possibly some of the most sound advice I've ever had in my search for better understanding my mental health. Possibly for the first time in my life I've realised that Depression and Anxiety are not foreign entities within my mind - a sickness I have to purge to become healthy again They are both a very real part of me which have just come out of balance... that I just haven't been able to moderate I shouldn't be fighting them.... What you resist persists... thank you so much
James, Thank you for such a kind and insightful response 🙏 I am beyond honored to see you found this message so helpful, and it resonated with you so deeply. I have a bunch more content on anxiety coming soon, with loads to watch over on my channel. Thanks for the subscribe and please let me know if you want to see a video on a particular subject matter. Your friend, Arsalan
@@ArsalanMonawar No probs! Had to let you know! If you're willing to share your thoughts on maladaptive daydreaming - that's a topic I've become really interested in recently Keep up the good work :D
I lost it when you started talking about "what if I have a braintumor....". Omg that really hit! I remember it started and the hell that awaited me. Living with anxiety, health anxiety is so hard!
It is the one that scared me the most, but then made sense when I studied the brain more. Lisa, I recently posted a video on 5 scary symptoms that are normal: I talk about the brain aspect and tumor scare on there. Be sure to take a peek. Let me know how I can be of help! All my best, Arsalan
@@ArsalanMonawar thank you so much. I am on my recovery journey at the moment but I am not sure if I am doing i right, like accepting the feelings to be there. It is really difficult for me to accept life in general. I already mourn over things like my mom passing away, my kids moving out, me aging. I can't enjoy the moment because these thoughts take over my brain and all my focus is on there. I simply can't accept the way life goes.... 😔. I was never worried about having a braintumor but I was scared of other brainrelated things like MS but all is good with me said the doctors. But to have health anxiety and never being able to relax is horrible. Thank you for making these videos. I like that calm way you talk. I will keep watching. I wish you happiness and strength. I am soooooo happy every time I hear about somone overcoming their worse time with anxiety ❤️🙏
same thing here. when I was having full blow panic attacks I would normally end up completly exhausted. but if you are alone that is actualy quite good! you can just go to sleep after :)
Thank you for this video, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been experiencing for 6 years. You explained what it feels like to have crippling anxiety and panic attacks better then anyone I have ever heard.
This video has really helped me a lot. You made me realize I'm a creative. I'm a chef and own my own restaurant. Everyday I'm trying to create menus and dealing with stress. I always think doctors missed something. I always go to worse case scenarios. I was taking medicine that made me feel worse. So thank you sir for this video. God bless you
Looking forward to trying your creative culinary goodness in the near future. Blessed to hear you found this video and sending you my love and grace. Your friend, Arsalan
Your story is shockingly similar to mine, I am a creative, I happen to have started a film media company, and also my anxiety started when I was stressed out about finances and figuring out my life path, it's crazy, but makes me feel like im not alone, thanks for sharing this brother, takes a lot of courage!
omg yes.. i went through the same thing where I could no longer exercise because the feeling you get from exercise feels very similar to a panic attack so it would trigger it. i'm not alone in this.
Oh my god “do I have a tumor”? That is so relatable. My husband has been my saving grace he’s been my savior. Sometimes the people who have a personal history are the one who give you the best advice.
Wangyel, It is all in the mind. God has given us life to enjoy. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair and do it. Second life transforming technique is to close eyes, sit in one place with back erect without moving for 5 to 10 minutes-Be still and observe your breath. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit
Arsalan, I cannot express how much you have validated my feelings regarding my anxiety. Everything you have explained is exactly what I’m going through at the moment and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experience as I don’t feel alone anymore. I’m literally crying listening to your story and I feel for you as well. I am so happy to see you living so happy and back to life. I’m currently finding ways to cope with my anxiety and after watching your video I understand what I have to do in order for me to not rid it, but to maintain the peace within me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛💛
Jill, You have left me without words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words, and for taking the time to watch and listen. I have posted many more anxiety and mental health videos on my channel since this story, and they too will help you learn and grow. If there is anything I can do to be of value and service in your journey, please do not hesitate to reach out. Remember: You are not alone in this and YOU will GROW through this. Anxiety is your super power, I promise you this. Your dost (Friend), Arsalan
This was said so well. I had my first panic attack 2 months ago and have been suffering daily since then. Only recently have I started to try and fight back and stop being so afraid of it all. I've been searching the internet for people who have figured it out. I am so glad I found this. I know that this will be a process to beat this but I am determined. Things are already getting slightly better these days, so I am very excited. Thank you for making this
You are the REAL DEAL bro. Finally, someone who has been in the trenches and know exactly what is like, and not just someone making a video and say things people want to hear. Today is my 7th day since this journey started for me. Now, i feel i have something to work with from now on.
arslan, thank you for this video. last year i went through severe depression and this video gave me so much hope, i was able to recover fast. two weeks ago i fell right back into it again and i come back to this video because it gives me hope.
@@Wienerslinky i’ve been a lot better for almost 5 months now , i really got through it , it took a lot of learning and understanding myself but i finally did it !!!!! Couldn’t be more blessed.
I've been dealing with panic disorder for almost 4 yrs. it's been hell for me. you described panic attacks perfectly. I go to the ER every other day because it gets so bad. I have parasthesia now from how bad it's been for the past 2 months. I'm in tears watching your video.. I really hope God helps me through this ..
I am going through this too because of Covid, I get tremors in my body now and then, feeling of fear, racing heart, chest tightness. This video really made me calm. More power to you brother! :)
I've struggled with an anxiety disorder plus more for going on 25 years in October and it wasn't until recently after almost a life long battle that I found out what was causing my problems all along. I've been through hell and back but I'm still here and while I've been fortunate enough to be powerful enough to be able to deal with it un treated , I know that everyone isn't able to. For those who aren't as strong, it's okay! Just keep your head up and stay strong, it's all in your head. Trust that if I can do it, you can too. Peace and Love to all of you from one high vibration to another.
I have been suffering with General Anxiety Disorder since I was 12 years old. Today I am 44 years old and just beginning to be treated for it. This video is THE BEGINNING of learning, as well as, APPLYING a new learning/coping skill to better and further confront my Anxiety, my Depression, and most of all...MY PANIC ATTACKS! Let the Journaling Movement..BEGIN!!
Wish you the best 22 years old and been dealing w it since a kid but got more severe 2 years ago. Currently on meds I’m on day 6 I’m hoping this would calm the noise out. Let’s get through this Pablo !
Thanks so much for sharing. I am 59 and have had anxiety/OCD/depressive episodes my whole life but also tons of joy and tons of compassion for other (because I have lived through the struggles). What you said about impermanence is so true. This too shall pass... And doing the creative stuff is huge too. I think I am going to paint tonight!!
Wonderful energy, thank you so much Arsalan for such an inspiring story! I have been on medication for depression and anxiety for years and since last year on 12 step program as an Adult Child of Alcoholics. I am sure things happen for a reason and I do believe that finding this video is a good sign of the progress I am making in feeling less victimized by my mental issues. Despite all the suffering, my anxiety and depression have tought me a lot about self-love and self-compassion. What you are saying resonates within me a lot and feels like my own truth too. Accepting my anxiety and depression as a part of me instead of treating them as my enemies, inviting them to be my partners with mutually respected boundaries - that all sounds just the right and timely thing to do! What you talk about is in alignment with the teachings of my spiritual teacher David Hawkins and his emphasis on the power of letting go. Basically, your final words of being the one with anxiety and depressions is a step towards oneness and wholeness which are the essence of divinity, beyond duality and separation. Thank you and God bless you Arsalan !
I am left speeches reading yout comment, and your story. Thank you dear friend for not only watching, but also opening up about your journey. If I can be of support or value in anyway, do not hesitate to reach out. Your friend, Arsalan
Having a normal brain seems boring. But who is normal anyways? Panic attacks/ dissosiation is terrible. Finding creatives/ kindred spirits is what keeps you going. Long live the creative soul!!
Is it true in recovery you are one stop forward 2 steps back coz I can feel good for week than bam all anxiety symptoms are back basically its back and forward is this part of recovery you think
I have a creative brain and my boyfriend said I think too much in the future. Your explanation of your anxiety/panic attacks, and similar to my personal experience. Sometimes my future can be doom and gloom thoughts leading to depression/grief. This video is very helpful. Our creative brains can work to better our anxiety as well. Art can be good therapy.
Seriously God Bless you! this is the missing link. I have done everything. Tried it all. Had too much stress in my life - sales job toxic. - fiancé hated my family wedding didnt happen...was in hospital she didnt come see me in hospital. 3 years in - I have experienced every symptom you can think of...and what you say makes the most sense. So as someone who understands I thank you for opening up. I used to cry myself to sleep every night - trying to keep myself awake afraid to sleep. I wasnt sure if I would wake up :(.
I am so sorry to hear you went through so much struggle and pain, but please realize that all those things were layers of your life that needed to be removed and strengthened to build you up for the greatness that lays ahead. You are paving your future and anxiety is the superpower (as I say in all my work). Please let me know if you ever need anything. Your friend, Arsalan
Yup, had all those things happen to me too. That was a year ago last month. Now I'm doing so much better, just living my life, not even scared of covid even with my health anxiety because I feel like I lived through absolute hell for months and months.
Arsalan thanks so much for sharing am sure with you my journey for healing has started, whatever your saying is exactly what am going through and I've always been in much fear of the what ifs.God bless you
It does help to know that there are tons of other people going through the same racing thoughts and difficulty with mental health that you do, being on their own individual mental health journeys. You're going to help out so many people with your understanding and breakdown of it, thanks so much!
I have listened to your video sooo many times today, Thank you so much for it, My anxiety disorder has come back so bad since I got covid 19 virus, I just can't stop crying, listening to this today has helped me,
Maggie, I am honored to hear this and beyond blessed to have you here. Thank you for sharing your story. Trust me, it will get better. Sending you my strength and courage. -Arsalan
@@ArsalanMonawar Thank you so much, your video has given me some hope and strength,, I just want to get back to myself, It's going to take a while as have covid virus bad,
I appreciate your video and your store I’ve been experiencing really bad (gad)and panic attacks constantly worrying and feeling if im crazy if I’ll never get better i constantly worry about eating or not eating or from relationships just everything .
I wish I could do what you said. I escaped Albania with my family and almost drowned and ever since I can remember I’ve had nightmares of drowning and when I wake up I feel like I’m drowning. And the bullets flying all around me and people getting shot and the low moans. Still terrify me every night. I used to be so much stronger but when my mother departed I’m loosing it. Inside and out. I thought I could control it but I now under suicide.
Thank you for making this video. My anxiety started a few weeks ago and it was the worst night of my life. I was on the floor in the bathroom with a feeling of doom. I had one again last night and still feel off this morning. This video helped a lot and I want to say thank you for sharing your story. I dont feel so alone or crazy. I will give these steps a try and keep God first. Thanks again.
My goodness....I had my first severe panic attack a week and a half ago right after my miscarriage, something triggered it and I don't think I'll ever be the same. The way you described your anxiety was exactly how I felt, it's scary. This video has been so helpful and I need to remind myself to be patient because I cannot wait to get to this point. I feel back to normal as far as being able to work and even listen to music but now I'm more in tune with what anxiety feels like and I feel traumatized by the actual panic attack. I started seeing a therapist because this has rocked my world and I've been logging my feelings everyday to give to my therapist every week for our session but the actual logging/Journaling has actually helped me so much. Thank you for such an amazing video and giving so many hope 💜 I'm so grateful for beings like you!
Melanie, Thank You for sharing your story and I am so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. My wife had a miscarriage two years ago and we know the heartache all too well. I am sending you my strength and am honored that this video helped. With love and friendship, Arsalan
@@rupadevidevi2718 I'm so sorry love, I've actually gotten worse, and I didn't think I could. Trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel but this is hard. I have faith for the both of us.
@@melbelle1989 Yes dear friend...I'm sure we will come out of this... everything happens for a reason and we have to understand this....may God bless everyone who is facing this situation...we are warriors and we will fight it together..❤️
It’s so true what your saying, I had panic disorder really bad like 24 yrs ago , I overcame it ,then a few years ago I started getting symptoms again. I’m slowly getting through it again, it is not like before my panic attacks don’t last long as long and I know we can heal from it . It still sucks but at least it’s not as bad.
you sweet young man, thank you for this powerful testimony, it is so profoundly helpful, I so appreciate hearing your story and the lessons you are sharing
This hit right in the deepest part of my heart. 100% the truth and exactly what I've been experiencing. Beautiful video. I'm gonna DO THIS !! 💪💪💪 Thank you
I haven’t even finished your video but I already know that I can relate to it so much. I think I went to the ER twice because I thought I was going to die. I’ve been feeling disconnected for almost two years. I thought that maybe I also had a brain tumor. I’m a very creative person so it totally makes a lot of sense. Currently, I’m feeling mentally drained all the time. I’m so done feeling this way. I thought I wanted to just end it all, but the reality is that I do want to live, just not like this. Thanks for giving us hope. ❤️
I too had the worst experience of anxiety and panic attacks through alcoholism. I went through hell where my mind and body was driving me insane. I am working on becoming sober and to stay away from alcohol. Your video is encouraging and enlightening as well as your story. Stay strong and positive because you're not alone on this.
OMGGGG I AM IN SO MANY TEARS RN I SO NEEDED THIS. AND IT WAS ALL FREE TY SO SO MUCH FOR THIS VID AND YOUR TESTIMONY YOU HAVE GIVEN ME HOPE WHEN I HAD NONE. I WILL TAKE WHAT YOUVE TAUGHT ME AND RUN WITH IT TY
@@ArsalanMonawar I am so filled with joy THIS IS EMBRACING WHO I AM FEELS LIKE? I HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN SO HOPEFUL IVE AM BEAT IM TIRED DRAINED I WANT TO EMBRACE MY FEARS.....I would have never ever imagined anyone knew what it's like but God sent you with a message just for me.......I am having thoughts of suicide it's to much the darkness the pain the hurt it's to much.......SIR U HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT U HAVE JUST DONE FOR ME.....MY FACE IS ABSOLUTELY SWOLLEN AS I SAT HERE AND WENT THRU YOUR VIDEO AGAIN TAKING NOTES THIS TIME.......I TRIED THE MEDS THEY ONLY MADE IT WORSE.......ONCE AGAIN THIS WAS THE MOST HOPE IVE HAD IN 16 LONG EXCRUCIATING YEARS
I feel so alone in this world I've pushed away the ones that ever loved me (not meaning to) 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭how did I get here? It dnt even matter at this point I have to break free from myself it's my only option.....ty for this free video I haven't been able to work in years it sucks so bad all I want is to b normal but my severe illnesses have help me captive and made it impossible. Most everyone wants to charge for guidance and to help but I dnt have any money am so thankful for u God bless you and your beautiful family sir.
Meny 2 saal tak panic attacks or anxiety face ki hy😥.... It was the most worst and dark time of my life.😑I was dying every single Second... Those scary nights. !!! Ahh😓.. But Alhumdulillah now im fine .. That time of pain is over 😊 beshaq bura wqt hmesha nahi rehta... Or Allah sabr karny walu ka sath deta hy... ❤
I cannot express shocked I am to learn about your experiences, and knowing that I'm not alone in this since your experiences and thought process during the panic attacks are EXACTLY like mine, from getting a full blood work to ECG, thinking the doctors missed something, do I have a tumour? and ultimately the big question "am I going to die?". Last summer I had panic attacks every night at 3 am for about almost a week and each one was worse than the one before and I was in an ambulance on my way to the hospital every night (even the paramedics and hospital staff were starting to remember my face), sleep deprived and anxious, little did I know this wasn't a heart attack, but that sudden rush of adrenaline and heart racing up to 150 just sitting there wasn't easy to deal with. Been on medication since then (wish I could fix everything without it but my family and surroundings weren't able to understand what was going on since you know how desi people think 'namaz parho aur ye burger wagera chordo rotti khaya karo sab theek hojayega, humein bhi itni tensions thi tumhari age mein lekin aesa to kuch nhi hua'', and also the fact that corona didn't make it any better with being stuck at home with the family 24/7 :') , had to cut out soda and caffeine since those were triggering, along with exercise which became even harder since my heart was just prone to racing every time I did a light jog. Still fighting this battle, haven't had any panic attack since then and I'd give anything to not have another one.
This video was God sent. I was diagnosed with GAD on May 8, 2020. You literally described my story almost word for word. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have not tried journaling but will start today.
24:42 Meditation... 😂 Yeh, that one was a no go for me too. My anxiety can be triggered by my body, how I feel. So focussing on my body wasn't exactly relaxing.
This was very helpful :) Its true what you said about how difficult it is to meditate or breathe when u are having a panic attack, also what i find hard is that people around don't understand, they just say "think positive" they have no clue. It can feel very lonely suffering from this but thanks to youtube, i dont feel so alone.
Jeanette, It is all in the mind. Take some action. God has given us life to enjoy. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair and do it.

Hearing you talking I feel you talking about me because I know what it feels to have anxiety and panics I suffer from that now I’m on meds hope to fight this and get back to my normal life thank you for sharing !!!
I think I’m starting to get better with this. I can recognize when I have anxiety, and I know I need to distract myself and shut down those thoughts, but I seem to forget what to do. I feel lost and I keep repeating myself “I have anxiety” multiple times, and I freeze not knowing what to do.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been dealing with this recently and this gives me hope that soon things will get better. Currently on my healing journey and some days are good, some days are reallyyyy bad. Hanging in there though, you explained all of my symptoms so seeing you got through it, gives me strength.
Thank you for sharing your personal story Rebecca. I am grateful to hear that this message sparked my needed hope. Sending you love and friendship! -Arsalan
@@denise.delilah6953 Im happy to say that I’m doing a lot better than I was a couple months ago. Even a month ago from the last time I commented on this video. I started therapy and talked about my traumas. Incorporated meditation to my daily routine. Started journaling, praying working out and began to see progress. Healing takes time, I have good days and I have bad days. Sometimes I have moments where I stumble, but I remember the things I’ve learned during therapy, and videos I’ve seen on UA-cam and they anchor me back. I’m starting to find my safe space and learning to find things that make me feel good. I tend to follow that. And whenever I feel scared, unbalanced, anxious or panicky I remember to stop, breathe, and take a minute to just be.
Knowing its a part of me and its never gonna go away and im never gonna go back to how I was before anxiety makes me more anxious and scared. I need to learn how to get past that
I promise you: YOU will arrive at that place at your own time and in your own way. This is speaking from personal experience as someone who was EXACTLY where you are now. Remember, Anxiety is a super power because it is nudging you and pushing you towards the next version of YOU. It is an ultimate self development journey. Yes, it won't be easy but the person you are about to become through this is going to be incredible. I have achieved more success, abundance, joy, passion and wealth in my life SINCE my first panic attack. I got here because of all that pain and suffering. I have a couple other videos on anxiety too for you dear friend. Go check them out. You got this! With friendship, Arsalan
Omg i was diagnosed with anxiety and now om having pressure and tension headaches and palpitations..i had an EKG and doctors day my heart is healthy..and im going to get a MRI just to make sure. Its crazy cause I wonder of i have a tumor, or if the doctors missed somthing. I think of the worst possible scenarios
I have a question Sir. .... I always feel overwhelmed in the grocery stores and it’s hard for me to walk in the aisle ... Do you think this can be anxiety related ?
Baljit Bhamrah yes it definitely can be, you might want to research it, but I know people who feel like this with shopping and driving, anything can cause anxiety, if you struggle with it in general!
This is it guys if you’re going through anxiety. This is most of the cure. I been at it for one year now and I been able to come out of it and got back into it and I have noticed that my anxiety is part of me it will not harm me. I will continue to move forward and let symptoms come and go. Today I am almost free from this and almost back to to normal. But I have learned that anxiety is part of me it never leaves its just me and I can choose other me’s to be
This story is amazing...The day of my birthday about 2 months ago, I had two puffs of the strongest hash i've ever tried before (and I don't usually smoke). I usually got paranoid with weed, which is why I was a bit standoff-ish to smoking weed. However, that day, someone passed me a blunt, and I was like okay fuck it. Little did I know that the dose of THC I had just inhaled was insanely high; 2 minutes after taking 2 puffs I completely lost control of my brain, I felt like my brain was going 300 km/h , and I couldn't stop it. This led me to having my first and most severe panic attack. I felt like I was going to die and that I was never going to be a normal person again. After hours of having racing thoughts, I finally fell asleep and woke up the next day feeling a little bit off. I felt like disconnected from reality and myself, which made me VERY scared. I thought i was going crazy, thought I was going to have schizophrenia, and that I was never going to recover. Until now, I live in a constant state of worry and fear. Over thinking everything that is going on with me, and constant anxiety. I try to talk to everyone I can; I've been to therapists, I even did hypnosis, I workout more than ever, but I still feel an insane amount of anxiety all the time. Currently, after 2 months from my first panic attack, I would say that whats helped me the most is identifying what I have, and listening to stories like Arsalan's story, which is completely relatable, and makes you feel like your not the only one in the world with this problem. Keeping everyhthig to yourself is the worst thing you can do. Today was a bad day for me , I was starting to lose hope, and felt a little bit in despair. However, Arsalan's story reminded me that NOTHING is forever, and that I WILL recover from this, and that everything I am going through will make me stronger than ever; and you will too. Thank you.
Thank you ❤️ I saw many videos but they didn't help me ,I'm at stage of making my career ,I lost hope of dealing with it , continued night crying daily .This video really helped me ,I trying pencil art and journaling
Thank you for posting this, I can relate to what you said. I've had physical manifestations / symptoms for the past 2 1/2 years.....it's a beast. I just recently retired from law enforcement at the reccomendation of my doctor. It was such a tough call to make, but the benefits and money is just not worth my family / health. I've accepted that it is a part of me and will stop arm wrestling it...it's so fatiguing. Thanks again, I learned a great deal.
@@thesilverone94Thanks, It is definitely a work in progress. I have good and bad days. I've been doing this medication free for several years now...not saying this is the way to go, but, I'm making changes and trying to stay away from areas that trigger...if it's possible. I still fail blood pressure checks at the doctor. I'll go home and it's normal...go to doctor, off the charts. Thanks for asking! You have a super day!
I just can’t thank you enough for making this video for us .. this has really given me hope..I am dealing with a bad phase and I needed to hear this from someone who has battled with this thing .. who could actually understand what a person with anxiety goes through.. you said it all with such calmness.. God bless you dear
I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for 2 years and I didn't see any light at the end of the tunnel until I submitted all my fear, worry, thoughts and actions to Jesus and then Jesus took all my fear and worries away. Try Jesus guys, he won't disappoint you. I would be happiest i could be of any help. Thanks
I love Jesus and I'm still having trouble giving it to Him. I dont know how to do it. I've said it outloud. I will continue to to give Jesus all my fears I pray daily
Seriously , this is what I'm going through from last one year nd you explained it so easily , no one else explained it so nicely people even don't talk about this even doctors consider it very lightly , no one else except the one who is going through can understand this.....People around should understand this nd help people who are struggling
i think a community of people with anxiety or depression is a best way to end this anxiety and depression kind of stuff when a person suffering from it have a communication with the other having same situation will help the other alot !! communication plays a very important role we feel relaxed and calm that the other person have the same issues and same story like i have so i think it is the best way to deal with these anxiety stuff....
Nice!!! Thats the only way to Deal with anxiety and all the other emotions. We have to feel them. They want to be feeled. As long as we resist them they will stay. Embrace the pain. Run towards and face the fears.
Dealt with anxiety disorders all my life. I was 12 when they quickly prescribed me with medication before trying anything else. I was young and didn't have much of a choice as I didn't know what was going on with me. Now that I am 25 years old, let me tell you: TRY counseling, a strong support system, diet & exercise, educating yourself, and self-reflecting (journaling is so important). Be consistent but also allow yourself to feel what you feel. Thank you for this video.
Your so on it , I have heard people say I overcome it I don’t have anxiety anymore. It’s so what happened to me when I healed . I had several years without the disorder but I would still get some symptoms, like tingling or small episodes of the dream like state . I feel like your keeping it real . I also think you will see what foods ,drinks and so on make you get more sensitive to anxiety symptoms. Like if I drink alcohol after so many months I will start getting anxiety symptoms. I’ve tried stopping and starting more then a few times and it never fails. You do learn a lot about yourself that’s for sure . My health with my stomach has made this set back a little more harder to get through but I’m doing way better now then I did when I first had my anxiety years ago .
To anyone struggling with mental illness, the trick to CURING it is to completely obessesed with overcoming it. Always think "what can I do right now to improve my mental illness." And then take the actions that youre inspired to take or think will help you. That is the most effective tool for transformation, I've found.
i had my first anxiety attack 3 months ago and i'm far from beginning the healing process. my life is stressfull but i will be better. better times are coming
@@myleenpang3548 Thanks to the medicine paroxetine, I survived being anxious and have no more panic attacks. I also stopped drinking / smoking and my life is now stable. The medicine was not nice in the first 4 weeks because it needs time to work. I have some side effects but I don't mind because the side effects are not worse than anxiouty & panic
I've been suffering for years but just lately it's getting worse and it's scaring me. I hope it gets easier because I am tired and defeated all the time.
Anyone else get memory issues where it’s almost like you can’t remember your day or week? Then sleep like you have the flu. I find myself sleeping super deep and for long periods. And having major issues with comprehending my week.
Love this, I almost cried .... I have been practicing journalling since a few months , it helps so much with tracking progress, ups and downs, because anxiety kills memory too ... but I am not yet doing it in detail, just briefly.. I am looking forward to practicing the dialogue with anxiety you mentioned at the end .... God bless you, me and everyone going through this xx
I am so thankful to my panic attacks and Anxiety days that i overcame and it made me a lot more self aware. 3 months back i had almost given up with frequent panic attacks and severe Health anxiety which somehow still exists but i think i have found ways to get over those scary thoughts. Great job Man! Never stop doing UA-cam or Instagram videos. Anxiety prone people are super creative! (I have my Hypochondria story on my UA-cam channel, My story of scary days of anxiety) If you're reading this comment and wondering if you're going to die or going to go insane?? Answer is you are not. Trust me with some practice you can overcome your anxiety. Do mediation, learn mindfulness and if you can do please seek help of a therapist or people like Arsalan and even i can help you out. We have been through it and we're now doing the best in life we ever did. It will go away within 2-3 weeks.
@@syedjafferimam5789 i will tell you my story 💬 All my weedsmoker friend told me that weed gives u panic attack at first when u smoke huge weed,an later i found one weed smoker panic attack compilation video and i saw one guy who was proving him he was paralysis and stuck in time,i freaked out that does it really happen and im a dj so all our club staffs smokes weed and before its like in march 23 we were planning a pool parties program i reached ther at 5 pm and i asked for weed bcuz i was smoking in club back than but not to many just a 2 or 3 puffs i felt great and i asked them do u guys have weed he told me yes i do have its but this time i smoked it all alone very strong weed later than we smoked and i sat on chair and we discussed i started to feel panic my heart raced like im heaving heart attack and all my body started to feel cold and numb i used my phone to distract my self but after few minutes i got numb thinking that guy who i saw on UA-cam got stuck in time and i just experienced that and when ever i remember that day when i got panicked from weed that gives me a huge anxiety that was worst truamatic events and you will only get anxiety or panic attack because of traumatic events like i faced while smoking weed. i dont smoke now but i still feel panic sometimes
Thanks Arsalan, i followed your advice by trying to welcome my depression rather than fighting it, this strategy made me control my brain... Thank you so much...😘
The worst part of anxiety disorder is seeing everyone happy living life and you are stuck in the same problems sad and alone...
Dont worry I'm struggling with you, you got it

All the time when i was at my worst
It was my #1 issue during my extreme anxiety, it is a very normal response as your body and mind are going through a drastic shift. Hang in there: This too shall pass
I am feeling it right now .. I feel like I should die..I don't have anything to live ...I mean any reason.

Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "social anxiety how to overcome" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Telaavar Anxious Amanita - (just google it )?
It is a great exclusive product for removing the root cause of social anxiety without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey got excellent results with it.
Thank you for watching Brenda. You will get through this stronger, I promise. -Arsalan

"The scariest place I've ever been is my own head." This hit me hard. Thank you for this video. I have been consumed by anxiety and off for many years, and I'm finally getting getting help and being proactive with learning how to live with it. It's a long, long process and some days are very hard, but also some days are good. Some weeks are good. And I'm proud of myself for continuing to endure this. To anyone out there who is going through this struggle, I'm proud of you for every moment you have managed to cope.
Other quotes that resonated:
"Nothing is permanent, it's always changing. Things need to unfold in their own way."
"What you resist, persists."
"In the days that are low, go with the flow."
"I love having you here. You are a part of my life. I am not going to push you away. But you do not get to attack me. You are a part of my life, just as I am a part of you. You do not get to take the power."
Tara, I am so humbled by your message. It means more to me than you can imagine that you have taken the time to share your takeaways. Means the world to see this video and message impacted you (and found you!)

Nice!
I can relate to this so much!! I fought my anxiety until the very end and I wish I would have tried to heal sooner before it got really bad. I have a very severe anxiety disorder and now depression, OCD etc. Currently in the middle of healing, sending hugs to anyone and everyone going through this!! You are strong, keep going, nothing is too hard to overcome.
Sending you all my strength and courage Vienna. It is never too late to begin healing. You got this dear friend!
I am in same boat as you do you find your self one step ahead 2 step back well this what happening to me.
You can absolutely over it. I watched Dr Michael Norman and trust we can get out of this for good. saying through my experience. You are brave and you will be fine ❤️

@@ashamohan3737 are u free from anxiety now? if so, can you please kindly tell me how? :(
“i hated going to sleep at night because i didn’t know… i didn’t want to wake up the next day” hit too close to home. the way you describe anxiety and dissociation is so accurate. i hope more ppl who have never had to go thru this watch this so they can better understand
Thank you for sharing your story! It means so much to many of us. Your Crystal is my Milly. I don’t know what I would have done without her. Thank you
The second you try to fight it it's already won because you're just giving it fuel .
That's actually true. It tricks you into believing that you have to figure out what's happening and fight it when you don't and when you do, it's a set up for failure but it happens to the best of us.
Love this statement. Thank you
@تلاوات القران - Tilawat Al-Quran anxiety is not a killer. Stress is. Anxiety is normal..even too much of it.

@تلاوات القران - Tilawat Al-Quran thank you so much
One hour ago, I had another panic attack and the soothing music and breathing was unable to calm me down. So I came here and listened to your story again. Your personal story always bring me hope. Thank you very much for sharing your story! I am feeling a lot better now.
I am honored to hear this. Please remind yourself that "This too shall pass". Also, I have a few more anxiety videos on my channel that will help you tremendously, be sure to give them a listen for more insights from my personal story. Stay strong! -Arsalan
DUUUUUDE THIS VIIIIDEOOOOO
I've been dealing with depression since 15 - my anxiety and panic attacks since early 20s - now at thirty I've just overcome the darkest year of my life and am trying with all my might to defeat my demons and be able to live to my potential
Thank you for not being just another youtuber screaming 'believe in yourself! You've gasts thiiiis!' you shared a true story and I can see that your anxiety was a true experience. I originally just needed some reassurance that I wasn't alone and that others have overcome the paralysing life situation I am in... but little would I discover possibly some of the most sound advice I've ever had in my search for better understanding my mental health.
Possibly for the first time in my life I've realised that Depression and Anxiety are not foreign entities within my mind - a sickness I have to purge to become healthy again
They are both a very real part of me which have just come out of balance... that I just haven't been able to moderate
I shouldn't be fighting them....
What you resist persists... thank you so much
James,
Thank you for such a kind and insightful response 🙏
I am beyond honored to see you found this message so helpful, and it resonated with you so deeply.
I have a bunch more content on anxiety coming soon, with loads to watch over on my channel. Thanks for the subscribe and please let me know if you want to see a video on a particular subject matter.
Your friend,
Arsalan
@@ArsalanMonawar No probs! Had to let you know!
If you're willing to share your thoughts on maladaptive daydreaming - that's a topic I've become really interested in recently
Keep up the good work :D
Hey man, how are you doing these days? Happy 2022!
I lost it when you started talking about "what if I have a braintumor....". Omg that really hit! I remember it started and the hell that awaited me. Living with anxiety, health anxiety is so hard!
It is the one that scared me the most, but then made sense when I studied the brain more. Lisa, I recently posted a video on 5 scary symptoms that are normal: I talk about the brain aspect and tumor scare on there. Be sure to take a peek. Let me know how I can be of help! All my best, Arsalan
@@ArsalanMonawar thank you so much. I am on my recovery journey at the moment but I am not sure if I am doing i right, like accepting the feelings to be there. It is really difficult for me to accept life in general. I already mourn over things like my mom passing away, my kids moving out, me aging. I can't enjoy the moment because these thoughts take over my brain and all my focus is on there. I simply can't accept the way life goes.... 😔.
I was never worried about having a braintumor but I was scared of other brainrelated things like MS but all is good with me said the doctors. But to have health anxiety and never being able to relax is horrible.
Thank you for making these videos. I like that calm way you talk. I will keep watching. I wish you happiness and strength. I am soooooo happy every time I hear about somone overcoming their worse time with anxiety ❤️🙏
After the panic attack end, I feel drugged, worn out, light headache etc
Same
Me too anxiety makes me feel overly messed up and being/feeling drugged and high gives me more anxiety and it feels like you’re actually dying.
same thing here. when I was having full blow panic attacks I would normally end up completly exhausted. but if you are alone that is actualy quite good! you can just go to sleep after :)
And then the sleepy feeling after panic attack struggle.
That's debilitating!
It's hrd
Thank you for this video, this is EXACTLY what I’ve been experiencing for 6 years. You explained what it feels like to have crippling anxiety and panic attacks better then anyone I have ever heard.
This video has really helped me a lot. You made me realize I'm a creative. I'm a chef and own my own restaurant. Everyday I'm trying to create menus and dealing with stress. I always think doctors missed something. I always go to worse case scenarios. I was taking medicine that made me feel worse. So thank you sir for this video. God bless you
Looking forward to trying your creative culinary goodness in the near future. Blessed to hear you found this video and sending you my love and grace. Your friend, Arsalan
Your story is shockingly similar to mine, I am a creative, I happen to have started a film media company, and also my anxiety started when I was stressed out about finances and figuring out my life path, it's crazy, but makes me feel like im not alone, thanks for sharing this brother, takes a lot of courage!
omg yes.. i went through the same thing where I could no longer exercise because the feeling you get from exercise feels very similar to a panic attack so it would trigger it. i'm not alone in this.
I'm going through this right now arghhh
Omg I thought I was the only one!
Same! I love working out now though..i like making my heart beat on my own and know why its beating lol makes me feel alive 💗
Oh my god “do I have a tumor”? That is so relatable. My husband has been my saving grace he’s been my savior. Sometimes the people who have a personal history are the one who give you the best advice.
I pray it helps. I have been suffering from Anxiety Disorder for the last 6 years.
Thanks
Wangyel, It is all in the mind. God has given us life to enjoy. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair and do it. Second life transforming technique is to close eyes, sit in one place with back erect without moving for 5 to 10 minutes-Be still and observe your breath. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit
R u better now
Arsalan, I cannot express how much you have validated my feelings regarding my anxiety. Everything you have explained is exactly what I’m going through at the moment and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experience as I don’t feel alone anymore. I’m literally crying listening to your story and I feel for you as well. I am so happy to see you living so happy and back to life. I’m currently finding ways to cope with my anxiety and after watching your video I understand what I have to do in order for me to not rid it, but to maintain the peace within me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛💛
Jill, You have left me without words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words, and for taking the time to watch and listen. I have posted many more anxiety and mental health videos on my channel since this story, and they too will help you learn and grow. If there is anything I can do to be of value and service in your journey, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Remember: You are not alone in this and YOU will GROW through this. Anxiety is your super power, I promise you this.
Your dost (Friend),
Arsalan
Your story inspired me. I have been trying to fight my anxiety. Now I know I have to learn to live with it and not let it control me.
This was said so well. I had my first panic attack 2 months ago and have been suffering daily since then. Only recently have I started to try and fight back and stop being so afraid of it all. I've been searching the internet for people who have figured it out. I am so glad I found this. I know that this will be a process to beat this but I am determined. Things are already getting slightly better these days, so I am very excited. Thank you for making this
U feeling better now dude
Hope you’re doing better!
You are the REAL DEAL bro. Finally, someone who has been in the trenches and know exactly what is like, and not just someone making a video and say things people want to hear. Today is my 7th day since this journey started for me. Now, i feel i have something to work with from now on.
arslan, thank you for this video. last year i went through severe depression and this video gave me so much hope, i was able to recover fast. two weeks ago i fell right back into it again and i come back to this video because it gives me hope.
you literally explained exactly what i’ve been experiencing in the last 3 months word for word , your really helping me get through this !!
how's it going now?
@@Wienerslinky i’ve been a lot better for almost 5 months now , i really got through it , it took a lot of learning and understanding myself but i finally did it !!!!! Couldn’t be more blessed.
I've been dealing with panic disorder for almost 4 yrs. it's been hell for me. you described panic attacks perfectly. I go to the ER every other day because it gets so bad. I have parasthesia now from how bad it's been for the past 2 months. I'm in tears watching your video.. I really hope God helps me through this ..
Sending you love and comfort dear friend!
Do you get chest pains?
Please dont give up. Seek help. You'll find a way
I am going through this too because of Covid, I get tremors in my body now and then, feeling of fear, racing heart, chest tightness. This video really made me calm. More power to you brother! :)
I've got parathanesia too in my legs
I've struggled with an anxiety disorder plus more for going on 25 years in October and it wasn't until recently after almost a life long battle that I found out what was causing my problems all along. I've been through hell and back but I'm still here and while I've been fortunate enough to be powerful enough to be able to deal with it un treated , I know that everyone isn't able to. For those who aren't as strong, it's okay! Just keep your head up and stay strong, it's all in your head. Trust that if I can do it, you can too. Peace and Love to all of you from one high vibration to another.
This is by far the best Anxiety Advice I’ve ever received. Thank you. It’s been a year and I’m ready to start the foundations.
If you know of any parent struggling with an anxious teen, maybe my latest video can help them.
Thank you for your video. I too find journaling very good too.
I have been suffering with General Anxiety Disorder since I was 12 years old. Today I am 44 years old and just beginning to be treated for it. This video is THE BEGINNING of learning, as well as, APPLYING a new learning/coping skill to better and further confront my Anxiety, my Depression, and most of all...MY PANIC ATTACKS! Let the Journaling Movement..BEGIN!!
Wish you the best 22 years old and been dealing w it since a kid but got more severe 2 years ago. Currently on meds I’m on day 6 I’m hoping this would calm the noise out. Let’s get through this Pablo !
If you know of any parent struggling with an anxious teen, maybe my latest video can help them.
Thanks so much for sharing. I am 59 and have had anxiety/OCD/depressive episodes my whole life but also tons of joy and tons of compassion for other (because I have lived through the struggles). What you said about impermanence is so true. This too shall pass... And doing the creative stuff is huge too. I think I am going to paint tonight!!
I’m the same age and been up and down all my life too. I have good spells then bang - I’m back to panicking and negative thinking. It’s such a battle.
Wonderful energy, thank you so much Arsalan for such an inspiring story! I have been on medication for depression and anxiety for years and since last year on 12 step program as an Adult Child of Alcoholics. I am sure things happen for a reason and I do believe that finding this video is a good sign of the progress I am making in feeling less victimized by my mental issues. Despite all the suffering, my anxiety and depression have tought me a lot about self-love and self-compassion. What you are saying resonates within me a lot and feels like my own truth too. Accepting my anxiety and depression as a part of me instead of treating them as my enemies, inviting them to be my partners with mutually respected boundaries - that all sounds just the right and timely thing to do! What you talk about is in alignment with the teachings of my spiritual teacher David Hawkins and his emphasis on the power of letting go. Basically, your final words of being the one with anxiety and depressions is a step towards oneness and wholeness which are the essence of divinity, beyond duality and separation. Thank you and God bless you Arsalan !
I am left speeches reading yout comment, and your story. Thank you dear friend for not only watching, but also opening up about your journey. If I can be of support or value in anyway, do not hesitate to reach out. Your friend, Arsalan
Having a normal brain seems boring. But who is normal anyways? Panic attacks/ dissosiation is terrible. Finding creatives/ kindred spirits is what keeps you going. Long live the creative soul!!
Is it true in recovery you are one stop forward 2 steps back coz I can feel good for week than bam all anxiety symptoms are back basically its back and forward is this part of recovery you think
I have a creative brain and my boyfriend said I think too much in the future. Your explanation of your anxiety/panic attacks, and similar to my personal experience. Sometimes my future can be doom and gloom thoughts leading to depression/grief. This video is very helpful. Our creative brains can work to better our anxiety as well. Art can be good therapy.
I get the same feedback. My what if brain and creative mind can get me into trouble with my anxiety.
Seriously God Bless you! this is the missing link. I have done everything. Tried it all. Had too much stress in my life - sales job toxic. - fiancé hated my family wedding didnt happen...was in hospital she didnt come see me in hospital. 3 years in - I have experienced every symptom you can think of...and what you say makes the most sense. So as someone who understands I thank you for opening up. I used to cry myself to sleep every night - trying to keep myself awake afraid to sleep. I wasnt sure if I would wake up :(.
I am so sorry to hear you went through so much struggle and pain, but please realize that all those things were layers of your life that needed to be removed and strengthened to build you up for the greatness that lays ahead. You are paving your future and anxiety is the superpower (as I say in all my work). Please let me know if you ever need anything. Your friend, Arsalan
Yup, had all those things happen to me too. That was a year ago last month.
Now I'm doing so much better, just living my life, not even scared of covid even with my health anxiety because I feel like I lived through absolute hell for months and months.
Arsalan thanks so much for sharing am sure with you my journey for healing has started, whatever your saying is exactly what am going through and I've always been in much fear of the what ifs.God bless you
Loice, sending you all my love and friendship. Stay strong as it will get easier.
It does help to know that there are tons of other people going through the same racing thoughts and difficulty with mental health that you do, being on their own individual mental health journeys. You're going to help out so many people with your understanding and breakdown of it, thanks so much!

I appreciate your video and your store I’ve been experiencing really bad (gad)and panic attacks constantly worrying and feeling if im crazy if I’ll never get better i constantly worry about eating or not eating or from relationships just everything .
I wish I could do what you said. I escaped Albania with my family and almost drowned and ever since I can remember I’ve had nightmares of drowning and when I wake up I feel like I’m drowning. And the bullets flying all around me and people getting shot and the low moans. Still terrify me every night. I used to be so much stronger but when my mother departed I’m loosing it. Inside and out. I thought I could control it but I now under suicide.
Please don't....god will save you..... even iam experiencing severe anxiety and insomnia
I exactly understand what you're going through i promise it will pass
Thank you for making this video. My anxiety started a few weeks ago and it was the worst night of my life. I was on the floor in the bathroom with a feeling of doom. I had one again last night and still feel off this morning. This video helped a lot and I want to say thank you for sharing your story. I dont feel so alone or crazy. I will give these steps a try and keep God first. Thanks again.
My goodness....I had my first severe panic attack a week and a half ago right after my miscarriage, something triggered it and I don't think I'll ever be the same. The way you described your anxiety was exactly how I felt, it's scary. This video has been so helpful and I need to remind myself to be patient because I cannot wait to get to this point. I feel back to normal as far as being able to work and even listen to music but now I'm more in tune with what anxiety feels like and I feel traumatized by the actual panic attack. I started seeing a therapist because this has rocked my world and I've been logging my feelings everyday to give to my therapist every week for our session but the actual logging/Journaling has actually helped me so much. Thank you for such an amazing video and giving so many hope 💜 I'm so grateful for beings like you!
Melanie, Thank You for sharing your story and I am so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. My wife had a miscarriage two years ago and we know the heartache all too well. I am sending you my strength and am honored that this video helped. With love and friendship, Arsalan

I haven’t even finished your video but I already know that I can relate to it so much. I think I went to the ER twice because I thought I was going to die. I’ve been feeling disconnected for almost two years. I thought that maybe I also had a brain tumor. I’m a very creative person so it totally makes a lot of sense. Currently, I’m feeling mentally drained all the time. I’m so done feeling this way. I thought I wanted to just end it all, but the reality is that I do want to live, just not like this.

boht sare sugestion aa rhe h pta ni aapka kon sa accnt h
I cannot express shocked I am to learn about your experiences, and knowing that I'm not alone in this since your experiences and thought process during the panic attacks are EXACTLY like mine, from getting a full blood work to ECG, thinking the doctors missed something, do I have a tumour? and ultimately the big question "am I going to die?". Last summer I had panic attacks every night at 3 am for about almost a week and each one was worse than the one before and I was in an ambulance on my way to the hospital every night (even the paramedics and hospital staff were starting to remember my face), sleep deprived and anxious, little did I know this wasn't a heart attack, but that sudden rush of adrenaline and heart racing up to 150 just sitting there wasn't easy to deal with. Been on medication since then (wish I could fix everything without it but my family and surroundings weren't able to understand what was going on since you know how desi people think 'namaz parho aur ye burger wagera chordo rotti khaya karo sab theek hojayega, humein bhi itni tensions thi tumhari age mein lekin aesa to kuch nhi hua'', and also the fact that corona didn't make it any better with being stuck at home with the family 24/7 :') , had to cut out soda and caffeine since those were triggering, along with exercise which became even harder since my heart was just prone to racing every time I did a light jog. Still fighting this battle, haven't had any panic attack since then and I'd give anything to not have another one.
How are you doing now?
@@bagyalakshmi5973 Still on antidepressants but holding on, exercising and going outdoors does seem to help a little
This video was God sent. I was diagnosed with GAD on May 8, 2020. You literally described my story almost word for word. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have not tried journaling but will start today.

"You do not want to go back to your old self" thank you, I needed to hear this!
The biggest realization was that very moment; glad it stuck out to you. Thank you for watching!
I know exactly what you have gone through very good video
Dr. Claire Weekes wrote about this in her book..and it's how so many people have gotten healed..u can also look her up on utube
She's amazing
24:42 Meditation... 😂 Yeh, that one was a no go for me too. My anxiety can be triggered by my body, how I feel. So focussing on my body wasn't exactly relaxing.
Very relatable story. Anxiety robs you of your life as you know it
I know exactly what you're saying i went through the same thing .my depression started with a panic attack too.
This was very helpful :) Its true what you said about how difficult it is to meditate or breathe when u are having a panic attack, also what i find hard is that people around don't understand, they just say "think positive" they have no clue. It can feel very lonely suffering from this but thanks to youtube, i dont feel so alone.
Jeannette, thank you for sharing your vulnerability. It helps take the layers of anxiety off. Love and friendship, Arsalan
Jeanette, It is all in the mind. Take some action. God has given us life to enjoy. Meditation heals anxiety as it reprogrammes the mind. Watch alternate nostril breathing meditation videos on Google and do it for 5 to 10 minutes if possible twice a day. You can sit on a chair and do it. Second life transforming technique is to close eyes, sit in one place with back erect without moving for 5 to 10 minutes-Be still and observe your breath. Negative thoughts will reduce. Shyaaam Sir, Mentor. Make meditation a daily habit to change your life.
Thank you so much. I will try my best to your advise
Hearing you talking I feel you talking about me because I know what it feels to have anxiety and panics I suffer from that now I’m on meds hope to fight this and get back to my normal life thank you for sharing !!!
U okay??
I think I’m starting to get better with this. I can recognize when I have anxiety, and I know I need to distract myself and shut down those thoughts, but I seem to forget what to do. I feel lost and I keep repeating myself “I have anxiety” multiple times, and I freeze not knowing what to do.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been dealing with this recently and this gives me hope that soon things will get better. Currently on my healing journey and some days are good, some days are reallyyyy bad. Hanging in there though, you explained all of my symptoms so seeing you got through it, gives me strength.
Thank you for sharing your personal story Rebecca. I am grateful to hear that this message sparked my needed hope. Sending you love and friendship! -Arsalan
And how are you now ?
@@denise.delilah6953 Im happy to say that I’m doing a lot better than I was a couple months ago. Even a month ago from the last time I commented on this video. I started therapy and talked about my traumas. Incorporated meditation to my daily routine. Started journaling, praying working out and began to see progress. Healing takes time, I have good days and I have bad days. Sometimes I have moments where I stumble, but I remember the things I’ve learned during therapy, and videos I’ve seen on UA-cam and they anchor me back. I’m starting to find my safe space and learning to find things that make me feel good. I tend to follow that. And whenever I feel scared, unbalanced, anxious or panicky I remember to stop, breathe, and take a minute to just be.
Knowing its a part of me and its never gonna go away and im never gonna go back to how I was before anxiety makes me more anxious and scared. I need to learn how to get past that
I promise you: YOU will arrive at that place at your own time and in your own way. This is speaking from personal experience as someone who was EXACTLY where you are now. Remember, Anxiety is a super power because it is nudging you and pushing you towards the next version of YOU. It is an ultimate self development journey. Yes, it won't be easy but the person you are about to become through this is going to be incredible. I have achieved more success, abundance, joy, passion and wealth in my life SINCE my first panic attack. I got here because of all that pain and suffering. I have a couple other videos on anxiety too for you dear friend. Go check them out. You got this! With friendship, Arsalan
Exactly how I feel everyday. My thing is my anxiety is only the thought that I have an anxiety disorder. How do I deal with that?
This is the first video about this topic that i actually finished cause simply i felt like he s describing my situation
same
That may work for some but not all.
Omg i was diagnosed with anxiety and now om having pressure and tension headaches and palpitations..i had an EKG and doctors day my heart is healthy..and im going to get a MRI just to make sure. Its crazy cause I wonder of i have a tumor, or if the doctors missed somthing. I think of the worst possible scenarios
You look so pure ... listening to you is so peaceful
Thank you for this sincere comment, it truly means more than you know.
I have a question Sir. .... I always feel overwhelmed in the grocery stores and it’s hard for me to walk in the aisle ... Do you think this can be anxiety related ?
Baljit Bhamrah yes it definitely can be, you might want to research it, but I know people who feel like this with shopping and driving, anything can cause anxiety, if you struggle with it in general!
Love this having a conversation with it🥰👍🏽
I'M THANKFUL FOR U MAKING THIS !!
I am thankful for you!
Dude, I'm watching this Video in the darkest Times and it's so incredebly helpfull! Thanks man.
This is it guys if you’re going through anxiety. This is most of the cure. I been at it for one year now and I been able to come out of it and got back into it and I have noticed that my anxiety is part of me it will not harm me. I will continue to move forward and let symptoms come and go. Today I am almost free from this and almost back to to normal. But I have learned that anxiety is part of me it never leaves its just me and I can choose other me’s to be
This story is amazing...The day of my birthday about 2 months ago, I had two puffs of the strongest hash i've ever tried before (and I don't usually smoke). I usually got paranoid with weed, which is why I was a bit standoff-ish to smoking weed. However, that day, someone passed me a blunt, and I was like okay fuck it. Little did I know that the dose of THC I had just inhaled was insanely high; 2 minutes after taking 2 puffs I completely lost control of my brain, I felt like my brain was going 300 km/h , and I couldn't stop it. This led me to having my first and most severe panic attack. I felt like I was going to die and that I was never going to be a normal person again. After hours of having racing thoughts, I finally fell asleep and woke up the next day feeling a little bit off. I felt like disconnected from reality and myself, which made me VERY scared. I thought i was going crazy, thought I was going to have schizophrenia, and that I was never going to recover. Until now, I live in a constant state of worry and fear. Over thinking everything that is going on with me, and constant anxiety. I try to talk to everyone I can; I've been to therapists, I even did hypnosis, I workout more than ever, but I still feel an insane amount of anxiety all the time. Currently, after 2 months from my first panic attack, I would say that whats helped me the most is identifying what I have, and listening to stories like Arsalan's story, which is completely relatable, and makes you feel like your not the only one in the world with this problem. Keeping everyhthig to yourself is the worst thing you can do. Today was a bad day for me , I was starting to lose hope, and felt a little bit in despair. However, Arsalan's story reminded me that NOTHING is forever, and that I WILL recover from this, and that everything I am going through will make me stronger than ever; and you will too. Thank you.
Thank you bro I needed this .
Thank you ❤️ I saw many videos but they didn't help me ,I'm at stage of making my career ,I lost hope of dealing with it , continued night crying daily .This video really helped me ,I trying pencil art and journaling
Thank you for posting this, I can relate to what you said. I've had physical manifestations / symptoms for the past 2 1/2 years.....it's a beast. I just recently retired from law enforcement at the reccomendation of my doctor. It was such a tough call to make, but the benefits and money is just not worth my family / health.
I've accepted that it is a part of me and will stop arm wrestling it...it's so fatiguing.
Thanks again, I learned a great deal.
Hope you’re doing well! How are you feeling now?
@@thesilverone94Thanks, It is definitely a work in progress. I have good and bad days. I've been doing this medication free for several years now...not saying this is the way to go, but, I'm making changes and trying to stay away from areas that trigger...if it's possible. I still fail blood pressure checks at the doctor. I'll go home and it's normal...go to doctor, off the charts.
Thanks for asking! You have a super day!
I just can’t thank you enough for making this video for us .. this has really given me hope..I am dealing with a bad phase and I needed to hear this from someone who has battled with this thing .. who could actually understand what a person with anxiety goes through.. you said it all with such calmness.. God bless you dear
If you know of any parent struggling with an anxious teen, maybe my latest video can help them.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Now I know that what i feel is completely part of my anxiety. I am Hoping to recover too soon. 🎉
I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for 2 years and I didn't see any light at the end of the tunnel until I submitted all my fear, worry, thoughts and actions to Jesus and then Jesus took all my fear and worries away. Try Jesus guys, he won't disappoint you. I would be happiest i could be of any help. Thanks
I love Jesus and I'm still having trouble giving it to Him. I dont know how to do it. I've said it outloud. I will continue to to give Jesus all my fears I pray daily
this is hardly to belive
I will start to read the Bible soon. I hope I will get help there.
Why not share your story with a video so we can learn from you?
Praise the Lord
Seriously , this is what I'm going through from last one year nd you explained it so easily , no one else explained it so nicely people even don't talk about this even doctors consider it very lightly , no one else except the one who is going through can understand this.....People around should understand this nd help people who are struggling
i think a community of people with anxiety or depression is a best way to end this anxiety and depression kind of stuff when a person suffering from it have a communication with the other having same situation will help the other alot !! communication plays a very important role we feel relaxed and calm that the other person have the same issues and same story like i have so i think it is the best way to deal with these anxiety stuff....
Thank you. You are a lovely and caring man x
Sometime i ask myself " why me ? What have i done to have this ? Why do i have all these thoughts ? Why can't i just be a normal person ? "
Nice!!! Thats the only way to Deal with anxiety and all the other emotions.
We have to feel them. They want to be feeled. As long as we resist them they will stay. Embrace the pain.
Run towards and face the fears.
easy to say not to really do
@@M.Đ-z4u
Youre right. But its possible. Maybe better with a good mentor.
Dealt with anxiety disorders all my life. I was 12 when they quickly prescribed me with medication before trying anything else. I was young and didn't have much of a choice as I didn't know what was going on with me.
Now that I am 25 years old, let me tell you: TRY counseling, a strong support system, diet & exercise, educating yourself, and self-reflecting (journaling is so important). Be consistent but also allow yourself to feel what you feel.
Thank you for this video.
You got it so young. You are so strong.

YOU JUST SAID IT ALL I LOVE YOUR STORY AND I WILL WORK WITH IT
Your so on it , I have heard people say I overcome it I don’t have anxiety anymore. It’s so what happened to me when I healed . I had several years without the disorder but I would still get some symptoms, like tingling or small episodes of the dream like state . I feel like your keeping it real . I also think you will see what foods ,drinks and so on make you get more sensitive to anxiety symptoms. Like if I drink alcohol after so many months I will start getting anxiety symptoms. I’ve tried stopping and starting more then a few times and it never fails. You do learn a lot about yourself that’s for sure . My health with my stomach has made this set back a little more harder to get through but I’m doing way better now then I did when I first had my anxiety years ago .
To anyone struggling with mental illness, the trick to CURING it is to completely obessesed with overcoming it. Always think "what can I do right now to improve my mental illness." And then take the actions that youre inspired to take or think will help you. That is the most effective tool for transformation, I've found.
i had my first anxiety attack 3 months ago and i'm far from beginning the healing process. my life is stressfull but i will be better. better times are coming
May i know ur process of healing.pleasw.tq
@@myleenpang3548 Thanks to the medicine paroxetine, I survived being anxious and have no more panic attacks.
I also stopped drinking / smoking and my life is now stable. The medicine was not nice in the first 4 weeks because it needs time to work. I have some side effects but I don't mind because the side effects are not worse than anxiouty & panic
this is the best video about anxiety ever! thank you!
The best video ever, am suffering but all shall pass
Everything will work out in your favor and you too shall grow through this dear friend. Thank you for watching. -Arsalan
Excellent content my friend. You obviously found a great woman which is beyond rare. Most will leave in a drop of a hat
Tears came down... As..... I was watching tis... 💔
I've been suffering for years but just lately it's getting worse and it's scaring me. I hope it gets easier because I am tired and defeated all the time.
Thank you for your help and I will go with the 4 steps that you mentioned.
You're the best. You can make people calm and recover based on your personal perspective... God bless you.
Anyone else get memory issues where it’s almost like you can’t remember your day or week? Then sleep like you have the flu. I find myself sleeping super deep and for long periods. And having major issues with comprehending my week.
Yes! Right there with you!
Yes brain fog it's debilitating
Yes I have this. I feel like I cant remember nothing. I hate it. I hate it so much
I didn’t know anxiety did that. I’m so sorry.
Love this, I almost cried .... I have been practicing journalling since a few months , it helps so much with tracking progress, ups and downs, because anxiety kills memory too ... but I am not yet doing it in detail, just briefly.. I am looking forward to practicing the dialogue with anxiety you mentioned at the end .... God bless you, me and everyone going through this xx
I am so thankful to my panic attacks and Anxiety days that i overcame and it made me a lot more self aware. 3 months back i had almost given up with frequent panic attacks and severe Health anxiety which somehow still exists but i think i have found ways to get over those scary thoughts.
Great job Man! Never stop doing UA-cam or Instagram videos.
Anxiety prone people are super creative!
(I have my Hypochondria story on my UA-cam channel, My story of scary days of anxiety)
If you're reading this comment and wondering if you're going to die or going to go insane?? Answer is you are not.
Trust me with some practice you can overcome your anxiety.
Do mediation, learn mindfulness and if you can do please seek help of a therapist or people like Arsalan and even i can help you out. We have been through it and we're now doing the best in life we ever did.
It will go away within 2-3 weeks.

Thank you for creating this video.
Thanks Arsalan, i followed your advice by trying to welcome my depression rather than fighting it, this strategy made me control my brain... Thank you so much...😘
This is wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing! I am so elated to hear it helped.
