Not joking, the title made me anxious 😂
I’m scared
Write it down. Put it down. do something physical like go to bathroom. Come back. Read it. What do you think about it?
It's the thumbnail for me😅
😂
I doubt it
Its easier said than done when you are in the middle of an anxiety attack !
Stop trying to avoid the anxiety attack (or work up to not avoiding it) it can't hurt you. If it's not rational, just let it happen and don't react. Eventually, your body and brain will recalibrate, and you'll stop having panic attacks about things that should not induce panic. If the anxiety is based on an actual threat of potential real harm (an anxiety attack alone does NOT constitue a real threat) *then* take measures to avoid the threat.
@@avamasqueradeehh, anxiety attacks if left to just happen and perpetuate itself can give you heart problems
right & people say that same thing with every bit of advice when it comes to anxiety, yes clearly it’s not gonna be easy, that doesn’t need to be said , but it doesn’t mean it’s not possible…When you’re having an attack that’s EXACTLY when you implement the advice.
@@CheekieCharlienever heard of that. So far from my years of panic attacks I’ve just been told it’s all mental. The best you can do is try and cope with it. I honestly what else is there. Once medication no longer works. You’re gonna have to find ways to deal with them mentally alone.
Deep breathing
Yes but HOW do you do that? How do you think about something differently in the middle of an anxiety attack?
@@Kharis- thanks for sharing what you do! I still don’t always recognize what triggers mine, so I will have to try and pay better attention, which isn’t easy as you’re in one and it’s peaking. I’d be curious to learn how you were able to identify what triggers yours?
breathe through and ask yourself did it happen in last 15 minutes?
It is having methods prepared before triggers and flashbacks.
For example Mel Robbins talked about it - to enter already prepared to not get triggered before any social situation. Your own decision beforehand can prevent dysregulation pattern occurring later on.
Another method is writing.
That you put on paper your thoughts and clarify what is bothering you, what is actual problem - what you think causes it and what can you do about it.
I do this through blog - and it helped me tremendously.
Anxiety springs up due to toxic people. Predatory personalities do have influence on our mindset more than it is acknowledged.

Redirecting your thoughts..it gets easier with time and practice. In the middle of an attack call a friend
I just removed all anxiety provoking entities. i.e. people places activities. I only engage in healthy activities. i.e. selfcare home security creative projects. I am in a peaceful place. I feel good!
then you have to be unemployed to not engage in stress. you cant ignore all stressors, thats life
The big thing that has helped me with social anxiety. is learning people are thinking about themselves. People are too wrapped up with themselves. That's why I don't take it personally if people laugh at me or don't want to talk to me. I still struggle with social interactions . Like keeping conversations going . But I don't beat myself self up about having social anxiety anymore as I understand I can't help it . People who are naturally out going don't have the struggle with interacting with people . Because they don't have the fear of social interactions. Like us with social anxiety do. If people show disrespect they lack respect. That's why I don't take it personally if people are disrespectful. Or over react and make a fuss about nothing. I can accept that Im shy and socially awkward. But I always try and make small talk with people.
I always find it funny how it is the people who don't suffer from anxiety that claim these things. It's not that simple at all. I can go into a situation thinking only positively and I still feel anxious. It goes much deeper than your thoughts. In my situation anyway. I don't expect to ever get to the bottom of it so I just get on with it.
This method only stops us from getting anxious. It can't really stop the uncomfortable feeling after we get anxious.
But deep breathing can. It can reduce the uncomfortable feeling after we get anxious. Breathe calmly and deeply, until you feel relaxed.
So true 🥲
I freak out hear her talk about it like it’s a controlled experiment or situation. At some points I can’t even control my thoughts. I literally get physically sick just trying to go out and be a human. I do believe some have control but I also believe there’s a line of not coming back from your severe anxiety. Even if I was heavily medicated, I’ll still be fighting my body physically besides doing whatever activity is in place.
Just follow 3 steps.
1. Relax you body
2. Look up
3. Breathe deeply and fully

You don't try to think, you ACT.
ACTIONS brings RESULTS. Results bring confidence and confidence destroys ANXIETY.
GOLD!!! thank you
Absolutely. I prefer a bad/not that good/ result than not even making an effort. It's exposure and it's the best thing you can do. Every small thing counts, even though anxiety makes you this the opposite. Say "YES" to yourself, life and new experiences, no matter what. 🙏🏻❤️
from exp, i can agre
Thank u❤
Yeah but then you start all over.
This is pure gold. This may be unrelated but I feel like I’ve sabotaged myself my entire life because I was finding it hard changing my perception of things in an attempt to go forward in life and grow. I was stuck mind screwing my self for over thirty years. I was terrified to go out in public at one point, passed up countless opportunities to move up at a job and didn’t trust ppl to be in a faithful relationship with them because I thought I’d get cheated on. I was called a loser and a lazy bastard throughout my childhood but maybe my perception of ppl was just negative due to all the past encounters being not the best..
What was the turnaround point and how did you deal/are dealing with it now?
You're so relatable for me. I'm in my early 20s. Hope I change soon
@@suvidhijain7436good luck , it might not be you , it might be the other people.
@@user-sd5hz2rq5t how can it be other people? Can you explain?
Also I don't wanna blame anybody. Just wanna hold myself accountable and try to improve.
I used to think i was alone.😢😭
Now i think, im alone! 🎉🤸♀️🧘♀️
Gotta do work. Overcome it u don't try. Not going no where. I got but trying stopped it.
Hey guys just calm down its that simple.
Counting backwards from 100 very slowly helps me a little. Sometimes I have to go lay down in a dark room and not move not talk breathe slow and count from 100 down to 0 over and over. I lose count a lot lol then start over. I eventually fall asleep. I have to know that someone is near me though. Not right up next to me but in yelling distance
Thank you, counting backwards from 100 helped me just now. Thank you again!
This short clip was too short
Yes, Chang ones relationship with the issue. Friend it.
Love u Dr and medcircle
I don’t want to cope I want it to be gone
She is Amazing indeed Much Respect for Sure She is great for one’s mental health!!!! She’s the best indeed….
Thinking of something different can be useful but if that's all you do it can be damaging in the long g run.
I used to always distract my mind when I had anxiety but that won't always work. What worked best was meditating and actually paying attention to my anxiety to face it so I would no longer fear it. To surrender and understand that it's okay to feel it and that it will pass. I don't have to do anything or "distract" myself. Just recognize it and let it be. Do this enough and you come to almost be friends with it and it is no harm to you.
We all want to run away from uncomfortable feelings but thats what got us here in the first place. Learn to face it and overcome. Same attitude applys to anything in life. We are problem solvers so when we avoid every uncomfortable feeling then we can only trick our minds for so long.
Thank you
i cleaned out my closet for the tenth time since the past two years of lockdown
I agree. I learned that when we don't like a record, or song, we change the record or radio station. We can do that with our thinking!
Your truly amazing good bless you
That's an over simplistic way of seeing severe anxiety disorder. She has no idea what it feels to feel like you're dying every single day.
The only way I've been able to do the method she says, was get on antidepressants first, then I was able to think clear enough to work on my thought process. But when you're in crisis mode, not so much☠️
The thing is, if I’m feeling anxious about something specific, more often than not, I know that it’s irrational. I know I’ve got no reason to be feeling anxious, but that knowledge in itself isn’t enough to make the physical symptoms go away.
Its because without you knowing physiologically your brain lympic systems reacts , like a fight or fllight move so just like kids believe ghost and monsters are real but it's not , ssme thing with thoight and feelings caused by anxiety
That's relatable.
Med you got not idea how helpful are your videos. Love Dr Romani.👍🏽
One cannot use said power within themselves when one cannot think straight. One cannot use a tool when one can't find it. Hmmm
But you do have it. You just need to pick the tool up. Stop telling yourself how you can’t be helped. You’ll never change that way.
wait until you realize this is basically all that cognitive behavior therapy is
Hard when your in the hight of it
You can challenge your anxiety when you are not feeling anxious, and use what you found out in time of anxiety. This helps! For example, I used to believe I am inferior to others and unloveable so I would feel anxious being around other people. I captured that thought and brought it home, where I don't feel anxious, and challenged why I feel this way. Once I could see in clear sight that I am worthy of love, with enough evidence to back me up, I could use that info in time of anxiety.
Two even more important tools are, mindfullness and deliberately acting and thinking calmly when in panic. First helps to capture a thought from going too deep to cause anxiety in the first place. The other helps to calm down after anxiety has begun.
This has been God's present to me and I am so grateful for His teaching. Anything is possible with Jesus.
I never lose my senses, if I get an attack. For me it's just, some body part will shake, mostly which one is needed at that time. Like if I need to say something, or appear, it will be my lower lip. If I am driving, it's my leg. But I have always tried to make myself calm and saying positive things to overcome the situation at that moment. Anyway, when she said about changing the way you see it, actually I have been practicing that by myself and it really have helped.
Thank you Dr. for the validation. ❤
This has helped me since I first heard Dr Ramani talking about this technique. It's hard the first time but then it becomes easier. It doesn't matter what you switch your thinking to, anything to take you away from what is troubling at the time. Also slowing down breathing is huge help. I have severe depression and some anxiety, the anxiety is now under control. I use this method for both situations.
the thumbnail made me anxious 😂
Change your mental approach......and prayer helps as well....😊❤
My family makes sure I have something to calm me down during anxiety attacks during school
Thank you for the ADVISE Very Motivating.
So true, Tysm Dr Ramani and med circle it's really helpful 🌻
I then tried
writing it down ,
write negative feelings then positive one's later right beside it..
say " it's okay ",
deep breathing slow in and out, pray or chant something (could be numbers backward or colours)
watch or remind yourself a funny quote, funny cute memes or video etc
actually mostly doing these tips or method on your own works.
sometimes it might take a lot of time and energy to calm down even before trying it.. but it's OK, you can do it..
I've taken days or even weeks for no reason really..and surrounded by folks who simply term it as "lazy" just makes it worse. just remember you're a star 🌟 who shines differently 👍
Dr. Ramani is an Angel from Heaven
not from heaven she isnt just another utuber trying to get ratings
Dr Ramani is a beautiful human with a beautiful soul ❤
I'm so glad I found the Lord. Dealing with the attacks has become a lot more manageable knowing that the Jesus knew how it was to be human that He "sweat blood" with the magnitude of anguish and fear he felt before His crucifixion. It makes me think, I am partaking in the suffering of Christ and have the hope that this will all pass away and we will have new bodies when He returns and spend joyous bliss with our Creator our God forever and ever.
The lord choked my chicken and my anxiety was cured. Amen.
You can be delivered from it in this world. We are to overcome ourselves in this world with the help of the Holy Spirit. I don't know what kind of anxiety you are going through but I used to deal with social anxiety stemming from childhood abuse and low self esteem. Once I figured out my identity and worth in Christ it helped tremendously. Another thing is to NOT believe in the lies of satan. But for this you need to be pretty sure about your truth in JESUS. Then the lies of the enemy lose its power. And in times of crisis (and at all other times) we look to Christ with absolute thankfulness. We renew our mind with the word of God and the prophecies of God. We keep feeding ourselves the Scripture and it goes away. There is hope for you, too and may the Lord show you your way to healing. You can look up Cindy Rivera Guzman (I hope I didn't butcher her name) she has a series about overcoming anxiety with the help of the LORD. It has helped me tremendously.
If I could “think about something else,” I wouldn’t have anxiety 🤦🏻♀️
This is soo true, I've tried this thing, a long ago it actually Works to someone extent
It’s so hard😢💔💔💔💔and I’m a doctor dealing with cardiophobia
I had sever anxiety the first time I dealt with it and no matter what I wouldn’t take anxiety meds. I coped in my own ways that I knew would help me
The words simple and anxiety don't belong in a sentence together.
"Everyone is a therapist until they experience anxiety themselves."
Thinking about something differently doesn't help me!! It just gives me something different to worry about and get more anxious!
Focusing on breathing will reroute your thinking. There is plenty of info on this technique.
@@coloradopeoplesnews7676can you help with more? I feel like being swallowed into the ground while in public places
And even when I try to think of something differently, my mind just goes right back to what I'm anxious about. I can't make my mind escape it.
Sometimes I count slowly backwards from 100 it helps some
Lemme tell you something, for some people such as me thinking about something else only triggers the: "but what about this" thought in our heads. It takes alot to remember something positive but only a little to remember something negative and same goes for forgetting. Really the easiest way is just to let it float away on it's own but even that wont work for some people so really it all depends. Personally i am constantly aware that i am overthinking and that its not real but i still cant help but think about it even when knowing its stupid. Guess i just cant catch a break huh.
Thank you! ❤
exactly , just by having a different perspective on things that is causing us anxiety can exactly can a reason to take us out of it.
I'm literally crying now
It's been 5yrs that I'm fighting with this battle
😔
Those it come n go my anxiety just started 😫
@@kendraharold7797 don't worry friend

I strongly focus on Jesus and call out His name. He Always makes the anxiety go away. Thank you Jesus ❤️🙏
helpful
Ask him for his peace and he will give it to you
Jesus boned me
I don’t get how one would go about thinking of other things while in the midst of an anxiety attack??? Too bad this video clip wasn’t longer and explained more. I personally didn’t find it that helpful…actually made me anxious and kinda down, since no clue how to do this when in the middle I’m freaking out! So makes me feel there’s something else wrong with me? 🤷♀️
Mindfulness is a huge help. The book 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels has helped me a lot.
Where's the rest of it?!
Oh, I can so do this!!!😬 It just doesn't ease the symptoms.🙄 That's simply powerful!😲
Remember, the difficult part of anxiety is the feeling, not thoughts. Even if i change my thoughts, the feeling of anxiety will remain. This method can't reduce anxiety but can stop us from getting anxious. But after we get anxious, this is useless.
I somehow managed to reduce that feeling through deep breathing. Practice it. It will surely help you. Forget everything and everyone, breath deepy and fully until you feel relaxed. Could be 5 times 10 time or 30 times. Just until you don't have that felling anymore. It can reduce anxiety.
Beautiful and practical:)
I do this a lot
And when I think about it different and make myself not to be bothered about it, i get weird head sensations that makes me feel like i am standing up, like i was kneeling before with one knee then i just kind of emotionally, mindfully, everythingly😂 stand up.
Its the best feeling
And i love to get that feeling
Its like fear leaving me
Its sooo great and unexplainable
Yes
I wish its easier as she said.
I tried to divert my mind a lot of times, play games and etc but the feeling of something crawling onto my skin, thé numbness of my teeth and feeling so exhausted is just unending. It hurts not physically but mentally and people will just tell u to think postivity. I will if i can
I wouldn't divert my thoughts. This could lake things worse. What she is saying is actually looking at the situation from a different angle. Self acceptance is key and it means accepting you have anxiety. Embracing it and showing yourself self compassion, self soothing really works. In other times questioning the lies that anxiety brings and using the valuable answers in times of anxiety helps tremendously as well. You are lived and worthy. Just as you are now.
I know exactly what she means because it actually works for me when I do this.
Aaaand I'm cured!! Thanks alot!! 😢
Magnesium
What kind of magnesium?
@orleviawashington1891 brand called theonia I use.. A lot of magnesium on the market are worthless, this is the only one I found helped
It's difficult to think about something differently when you don't believe in that.
Easy to think that something will go great.
But I don't believe that something will go great, what's the point of it then?
Shit, im around anxiety all the time. He's my boss. It cripples me so much sometimes that simple things i do at my job all of the sudden become ultra complicated when he shows up.
Definitely Works
You are SO helpful Dr.!!!
What I do especially in public, I talk to myself saying that this is my anxiety, keep breathing, this is not a heart attack, no one is watching having this problem and this will pass. It works 99 % of the time.
Yes, there are tools you can use while in the middle of an anxiety attack…… Xanax being a big one. (If you have a humane doctor) So you don’t feel like your tripping on bad acid for 45 minutes 🙄
“Think different thoughts”
“Smell peppermint oil”
“Focus on your breathing”
Pffffffffft, I’ll stick with my meds.
Sometimes I wonder if the people speaking have even had a panic attack and what list of meds have they tried ?
Hmmmm ? ❤️
Exactly, myo inositol also helps.
My meds have helped give me the space I needed to calm me down so I can start to think and reinterpret past events, triggers in a different way. Like learning that its my lymbic system in over drive when I have a panic attack and not anything weird but there is a logical reason even if I don't know what it is right away.
Meds are temporary and using xanax long term can causes dependencies and make things worse.
I am prescribed xanax. Got so bad after a few ER visits and my doc prescribed me them but I only take it when I absolutely need it. Used to be so bad I needed it every other day but now I am to the point of rarely taking it. How? You need to change your outlook. For one distracting yourself from anxiety is probably worse long term since you are teaching yourself to run away. That anxiety is scary. Anxiety is actually VERY normal. We just now process it differently.
Next time when you get anxiety try to meditate on exactly what you are feeling and surrender to it. You know damn well it won't kill you so just let it be. Dont fight it. Dont do anything at all about it. You don't have to do anything anymore. Just be present with it and let it be. You aren't trying to make it go away or stay. You just do nothing and let it be. It will pass eventually.
Do this enough times and anxiety starts to become A LOT less scary and you learn to live with it again. Also important to keep improving yourself in any way in life to build back that confidence.
Anxiety is hard to handle, and psychology try to make to as simple like fight and flight ✈️ That is not applicable because most of the people are not in any dangerous condition. The more study is required to end such meaningless illness. 💜
Reframing!!👍🥰👍
Ik what she is saying, it happens occasionally when I’m super anxious about something, I can change my perspective on it if I use lots of mental power and It can make me feel slightly less anxious but that’s very rare I have debilitating anxiety and it doesn’t matter your perception on a situation that harsh awful painful terror in ur heart takes over every single aspect of your life until you can’t even leave your house
Think about something differently. For example: “I’m gonna stop worrying about the opinions of others.”
Love this foc
Phone games have been a game changer for my anxiety issues.
As someone who has the actual disorder, uhhh it doesnt always "ruin your day" or make it impossible to do so and so. For me it feels like a monster who creeps up on me
Thanks
My Friend suppose to take me home at night he knows I have anxiety. I had a bad cold ? He freaks out because I'm sick and doesn't want his mother getting Covid then I freak out with bad panic attack and he see's me the first time having anxiety. So he tells me I need you help read the instructions for the testing kit. It really help alot because your brain shifts to different subject. I hope it help you guys out in case you start having anxiety ❤️🙏
I do wonder sometimes if any of these people have anxiety. Like I ain’t gonna think about anything else if I’m having an anxiety attack 😂
OMGGG nowayyyy why did we not think about ths
whatever makes you anxious do not be afraid to face it , example if you are anxious about a relationship with someone just go and see him straigth and talk to him the issue, no one deserve to suffer, if you cannot face the real issue you will continue to suffer forever
It’s a tool we all carry within us, at all times, but we don’t all know how to tap into it.
But HOOOOWWWW???
How do you think differently when you're mind is screaming the worst possible outcome at you and all you can do is curl up and cry?
When the worst possible outcome seems to be the most logical outcome?
❤
Wow so helpful wow thank u buggy eye lady u healed me wow
How to cope if u know life is hard. So by thinking it is not difficult and lying to ourself?
The thumbnail gave me anxiety
When I'm anxious I feel like I absolutely need to keep thinking about the thing that frightens me as if my thoughts and hypervigilance can keep danger at bay. "Just think about something else" means doom!
Omgosh I just had a million thought shoot out if my brain!!
I think I get morning anxiety because I'm really bad at eating breakfast right away. Eat first, then get ready.
Change our perception on things…
I actually tried that and it worked but you have to clear your mind and tell yourself it’s gonna be ok or else that anxiety will continue to have you worried so try it out and see if it works
Think, "the glass is half full and not half empty". Don't let small frustrations crowd out the big joys. Experiencing the joy takes energy too, in an exhilarating way. I had 2 panic attacks lately and both turned out to be false alarms!
If it was that simple we wouldn't be here suffering horribly
How to stop anxiety, just stop being anxious!
But atleast for me, it's really difficult. I've got this little voice in the back of my head I can't turn off the constantly contradicts any rational thing I tell my self
40 years of terror is not just going away
Why aren’t we talking about what’s under anxiety? Instead of medicating our symptoms!! This is meant to be a educational channel
I read somewhere, this guy wrote what his therapists told him that it has something to do with adrenaline and cortisol. Meaning that it's actually hormonal. Especially with women, I am definitely going to check my thyroid soon. If hormones are f....ed up and heart rate is slow, then it's not pumping enough blood to the brain and that's why there are anxiety and panic attacks. The things that could help, magnesium, myo inositol, folic acid, regular excersise. All of that actually regulates hormones. Good luck!
