When ever i hear or speak with a person who suffers with anxiety and panic attacks I understand how brave and loving they are and I instantly recognise them as the true hero's in their life story and the world. They give me hope. God Bless you all.
I think this gentleman is brave not simply to have ultimately confronted his demons but shared with us the journey to recovery via this blog. I'm sure it will enormously help millions who similarly suffer. I salute you.
I had completely missed this series. It's wonderful to see all these brave people! So inspirational. This guy here is a real hero. Keep crushing it brother!!
Wow I needed this, I was always the big protector in my family, so when I started having bad anxiety and panic attacks it was embarrassing and I hid it as much as I could. I'm still in the trenches but it does get better.
Fantastic. He explains his circumstances and experiences so eloquently and clearly. That sense of utter doom and despair that you can feel, all the while knowing that it's not true or real, but you feel it anyway and treat it as though it is real. Congrats on your success John!
I read Barry’s book around a year back and honestly none of the meds really helped me. I still have good, bad days but the reason I have good days it’s because of DARE. I have stopped measuring. Honestly, there is no silver bullet for anxiety it’s tired or inflamed nerves plus your habit has thrown you in it. I have great respect for people who have overcome GAD it’s one thing that is hardest to achieve only a sufferer would tell you. Barry doesn’t promise any easy method.
Loved this! Sometimes it’s those of us who are bold dynamic personalities that develop an anxiety disorder. NFL players and Olympic athletes develop anxiety disorders. Any one of us can accidentally self perpetuate anxiety. Fighters are so used to fighting through life that we try to fight anxiety in the same manner. It can’t be fought through. It can be UNDERSTOOD and demystified. 😌 Ty all for sharing your stories with us.
I work 2:00PM-9:00PM Monday-Friday. The moment I wake up, I go into work. The moment I get home, I go to sleep. If I stay up and try to read, or do anything productive, I will start to have panic attacks for no apparent reason. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to deal with this.
It’s nice to see people open up and talk about this… it’s a great opportunity to help others and help ourselves because we don’t have to suffer, but also to know that it’s also okay. It’s okay to feel these things. It’s human. But gotta keep fighting and trust Gods plan 🙏
Amazing. I have the exact same intrusive thoughts at the moment. It is incredibly frustrating. I used to work at an intensive care unit where I would come into contact with patients doing self harm. That's where it started for me. The fear of becoming like them. All the pain their families go through, what if I put my family through that, yada yada. This was 10 years ago. I went to CBT and it disappeared, now it's back. Currently in CBT again but damn it's scary, and hard. I can't believe there's more people with the same thoughts, I thought i was the only one.
Wow it’s been over a year now of anxiety nightmares Headaches and Diziness r keeping me in a cycle thinking somethings wrong I checked with doctors specialists they said nothings wrong I understand but I feel as if I don’t trust them voice in my head is telling me somethings wrong 😢
John, thanks for being vulnerable and sincere about your journey. Great to see a mans perspective and now I can send this to my hardworking strong male family members who are also going through the same thing! Glad you are loud about recovery so others who are quietly struggling can see a way out 😊
This was very touching. Thank you for sharing your story so genuinely, John. There is so much inspiration in your journey, especially how you’ve openly discussed the depths of anxiety and the unique challenges from a male perspective. Your incredible recovery will no doubt inspire and give hope to many others. Keep up the amazing work!
@@aidabeco I want to watch a video where Barry or one of you get a panic sufferer and take them to a supermarket and do a live video on how they feel and feedback on the sensations.
Anyone here in the comments successfully allowed the surge of panic? I find myself w an averson to it especially bc at the crescendo my peripheral vision is black and fuzzy and i'm so detached from mself i think i will faint or die. Racing existential thoughts as well.
Yes..... I don't mind the panic attack. I know I will not die, and it's just really strong nervous arousal. I use the app SOS panic attack too and it helps but I don't get panic attacks much anymore since ice stopped fearing them
I have a question about OCD. Is it possible to plan something "consciously," while _subconsciously_ you don't actually plan to do it? For example, *_in the moment,_* you "consciously" plan to hit or spit on someone, but _subconsciously_ it is not your intention/chosen action?

@@bittyoside thank you so much. That's inspiring. That crescendo part is the most difficult.
