This is me. I developed it in Nov. 2021 due to a physically and financially abusive marriage plus work stress. It got so bad that I lost my job this year and now I am practically broke. I know if I came up with 100k to get me out of debt as well as found a new job , I would be cured . I can not spend tue rest of my life like this 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Right now, I'm still on the debilitating part of anxiety. It's hard to do most things, but I hope things will get better as I keep trying to understand what is happening.
I can relate to you Dr. Scott and that’s why I love your channel so much. You understand anxiety because you lived with it. Congratulations on overcoming so much, I’m glad you’re telling your story. Thanks🤗💖🙏🏼👍
This is inspiring. I just started having anxiety in my forty’s. I’m still young hearted and vibrant. No one believes my age and I still have so many goals….When my son turned on me and left home I was devastated. That along with other traumatic experiences have now given me anxiety and it makes me so disappointed. Life is pretty strange when you have anxiety.
I e had anxiety since I was about 17 or 18. It would come and go, getting worse and then getting better. Once I hit my 40s, it got debilitating. I also started to experience perimenopause symptoms. I did a lot of research on it and estrogen, and particularly progesterone, can affect anxiety, depression, and sleep. I went on HRT and it got measurably better. I also went through some pretty traumatic events as well (mom diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, daughter diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, cheating husband, my job) and I’m sure that made it worse in addition to stupid hormones.
@ I’m sorry to hear that. But I’m glad to know you found something to help. I’ve had a partial hysterectomy. I will purchase HRT and give it a shot. I don’t want to take medication. Thank you so much for sharing and God bless you.💜
I want to thank you for your insightful content. You make such an impact on those of us who struggle with our mental health and are often misunderstood by those, who unlike you, have never been there. Thank you, Dr. Eilers.
Yes you sure have Doctor! I relate. However I took it to my physician 2004? She said here... Take this pill. I did & she continued to increase for years. I moved after adult kids were off & running. They just kept me on it. All was fine until I decided to wean off. It took me easily 4 yrs to get off. Bad. But after a couple moves & a person who plowed into my car that I had just paid off.. I crashed into depression since 2018 however I would not go back on certain meds. I feel anxiety on occasion...especially the Helena & Milton catastrophic mess. Still in my 4th hotel in hopes my place will be done soon but then what? I work on me SELF only. I sure appreciate your down to earth presence & practical guides you offer. To all listeners I 🙏 for all at daily Mass. Life...well It is not an easy road but we do the best we can. Fight the good fight!
You are always so relevant to so many of us. Your share with real life experience & understanding is invaluable and you, with that, is why you and your help so resonates. Thank You for sticking with us like this, as we with you. TY Dr. Scott - I like saying your name that way. ❤️🌹💯
I know you mentioned having anxiety, even doing your videos & having the ability to shoot in 1 take or not stumbling over your own words. But to outsiders, it seems so effortless. You have a very genuine, empathetic & relatable approach. So, to be honest, we are all in our heads; our own worst critic. ❤✌️We are doing our best!
At one point in my life, I was in a constant state of hypervigilance. I'd flinch if someone switched the light on or off. Going to work brought me to tears. Now? I'm a therapist :)
Same, sometimes I get really tired and mad when I get anxiety because I know it changed my perspective many times and most of the times it was for the worse so now I know to not trust it and when it comes up I do the thing its telling me not to do and I feel how its losing power little by little
I fell apart in July 2024 with anxiety….had always had a bit, but wowza….after some very traumatic experiences (had many prior)…I am seeking psychiatric help and trying to learn to deal with it. Unfortunately, meds have had to be tried….that alone has broken my spirit. I have always been an upbeat woman….even when life got challenging….at 61 …I feel defeated.
Wow... I have same... Wasted chapter. And I thought I was the only one who wasted years on worrying and having anxiety over things people consider petty thing. How you changed yourself so much?
Any of the somatic tools/exercises that are showing up in abundance these days on RUclips are helpful. My favorite is 4-8 breaths. Breathe in for a count of 4, out for a count of 8. (Really any doubled number for outbreaths works.) Simple, easy, and immediately effective for me. Also orienting - looking around and noticing pleasant things in your physical environment, including sounds and scents as well as sights. This gets your attention focused on the present moment, and helps get you grounded in your body. These are my go-tos because they work quickly for me, and are easy for me to remember even when my anxiety ramps up.

Well said - and the precise reason that you resonate with me...and I am comfortable telling others about your channel.

I've had this kind of anxiety for a long long time! People don't understand why I don't talk on the phone unless I absolutely have to!!
At one point in my life, I was in a constant state of hypervigilance. I'd flinch if someone switched the light on or off. Going to work brought me to tears. Now? I'm a therapist :)
Your video is very helpful, as always!👍👍👍
Thank you
What helps me sometimes is to get pissed at anxiety, or to just not care if I get anxious. Kinda say “eff it.”
Same, sometimes I get really tired and mad when I get anxiety because I know it changed my perspective many times and most of the times it was for the worse so now I know to not trust it and when it comes up I do the thing its telling me not to do and I feel how its losing power little by little
I've been doing that too. Panic attacks are hard to say "eff you" to, though.
@@WWskrs That’s a good method! I’m going to try that
@@katt_ylva I know. It’s kept me from going to job interviews, or going to work period
@@WWskrs
Very cool. That is great!
I think the fact that you are married and have children have contributed enormously to help you overcome depression and anxiety.
You give us much hope.

Hang in there
You are not defeated
Fight the good fight! 😘 💪 🙏
Remember, a circle is never ending.
Me too and i still have issue, i get by but its not well
Wow... I have same... Wasted chapter. And I thought I was the only one who wasted years on worrying and having anxiety over things people consider petty thing. How you changed yourself so much?
You're not the only one😢
Wao. How did you go about doing all of this and dealing with your former anxicity Dr?
Cause i, atm, can TRULY relate to being held back
I'd like to know as well.
Watch you on the regular because you lived what you talk about.
What can we do to help ourselves, with anxiety. PLEASE

You have exposure therapy down! Anxiety robs so much joy from so many lives.
Dr Scott, did someone hit you? Hoping it’s just the light 💡. ❤
Debilitating that's for sure
Do you take medication?
I can't think about my problems while looking at you. You are so handsome :)
