Nothing is more comforting than getting comforted by someone who ACTUALLY seems to get it. Thank you so much for this and for doing it in a whisper 🥺❣️

The “I am not weird or broken or over dramatic for feeling this way” really got me 😭 It is so nice to feel heard and like someone understands what I’m going through and I so appreciate you putting in the time and effort to make these videos. Sending hugs your way! 🤗🤗🤗
I like that you say “we are safe” instead of “you are safe.” When I’m feeling anxious when trying to sleep all I want is for someone to be by my side. It helps when you know you’re not alone. Thank you for this little detail to add even more comfort. ❤️
you know it's bad when it's 9am, you just woke up an hour ago and you find yourself here already lol thank you for the videos, your anxiety relief videos seem to be helping me the most!
Just like you I feel like my anxiety comes out of no where. And just like you my anxiety causes physical symptoms and then I become hypersensitive to those symptoms which causes me to have worse and worse symptoms which only fuels the fire. This is the only video that's been able to calm me down. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. Anxiety has a way of making you feel so alone and isolated. God bless all of us who fight this disease. You're all loved and not alone💗
I'm sorry, anxiety is a horrible feeling. At my worst point, I had daily physical symptoms for nearly 2 years and I'm glad to say that it's 95% reduced and almost not a factor in my daily life anymore. 💕 Sending you love, you've got this!
oh my god. i thought it only happened like this to me! that it comes without being triggered, just comes out of nowhere! it gives me horrible physical symptoms too! and it only comes at night! it can last 6 hours if i dont take some medicine for it. anyways. you are not alone! i am not alone. im glad you exist! 🥹💖
@@thamibanditome too it’s almost like anxiety takes over my brain which causes all of me to think that something is wrong and that i need to panic it’s like all of a sudden i think about, and then it happens. i just need something to distract me but almost nothing works. this video however made me feel sooooo much better 💞
here r some things that help me: - memorizing as many numbers of pi as I can - reciting the alphabet backwards (I have added the ASL signs to this exercise) - deep breathing/square (box) breathing - tensing and releasing one part of my body at a time to release tension - talking to someone I trust - going outside - listening to music - breathing into a paper bag - listening to asmr like this to everyone going through anxiety and stress, know that ur not alone and that u r safe and loved. there r always ppl out there to support u and help u when u need it. and please, do NOT b ashamed of anxiety. feel better and I hope this helps
funky music like boburnham words or lemon demon is good for anxiety any funky music, undertale (or deltarune) or animal crossing has some cool music or maybe you like rain sounds or asmr!
Mine got so bad this week, been feeling short of breath, tight chest then I worry something is wrong with me besides anxiety. It’s awful. I hope you’re feeling better. This video is helping me.
I started crying ten secs into the video. I cannot thank you enough for this. I've been suffering from a severe anxiety disorder and panic attacks since I was 16. I started therapy long ago and I started to feel better and learnt to control my attacks whenever they appear. It seems it has gotten worse lately, I've been having a hard time and this week has been a nonstop rollercoaster of anxiety attacks, feeling like I can't breath and I'm about to pass out or have a heart attack at any moment. No matter how many times I've experienced it, I never get used to it and I enter this loop of anxiety-fear caused by it triggering even more anxiety, and it's honestly horrible and so draining. This is the very first video that truly made me feel understood and like I am not alone. I am so sorry for everyone who suffers from this and I just wanna say we're extremely strong for dealing with it. Remember it will pass every single time and we're not alone ❤ Thanks a lot again for this video, you have no idea how much you're helping 🫂
This is my go-to video whenever I’m having bad anxiety or when I can’t sleep. Sarah just makes it feel like she really understands what’s happening, and makes me feel less alone. She’s a friend I need in my life, and I am forever grateful ❤
I had a very terrible night filled with tears and panic/anxiety attacks, I needed a distraction and I came across your video, I’m really glad I did!! This helped me a lot and I ended up feeling much better and falling asleep. Thank you and I hope everyone is safe and happy🤍🤍🤍
Sarah, with tears in my eyes, tears of relief for being seen and accepted. So much of the anxiety for me is the fear of not being accepted, or being a burden. This video was beyond healing. Thank you💜✨
Every night in Ukraine we have air alarms and shelling, such an ASMR is exactly what can calm down a bit, thank you for your video! P.S. Thanks everyone for your support!
Give your anxieties to God. One day I was so suicidal and depressed and I said Jesus take this away from me and all my horrible feeling physically I felt left my body and I felt it go up almost as if Jesus took my pain to heaven with him to heal me.. :)
LOVE this video, very well timed. "the human brain is very weird" is a vibe lol as a note for anyone else who finds deep breathing difficult: it can sometimes actually make anxiety worse! it definitely does for me sometimes, and I've had it trigger multiple panic attacks in a row before. afaik (I'm not a professional lol) it can increase sympathetic activation by stimulating blood flow/increasing heartrate. so for anyone who's been caught in that weird 'I'm deep breathing but it isn't working' or 'I feel worse when I deep breath' just know you're not alone! I appreciate the therapist who explained the process to me/helped me figure out alternatives/learn how to deep breathe more effectively a lot.
I’m so happy to have come across these comments deep breathing has caused panic attacks for me also not always but it has in certain occasions. I as well find the short quick breathing makes my brain snap out of panic mode. As Sarah said the human brain is weird, but thank you for this and for everyone sharing their experiences we are not alone….! Thank you for bringing up the EFTapping, that definitely worked for me 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey, friends. I’m a trauma therapist so I actually work with a lot of people who struggle with breathing exercises. When I have my own panic attacks, I find that I have to take one deep breath, hold it as long as I possibly can, let it out slowly, and repeat as necessary. It stops me from hyperventilating, but this might not be the case for everyone. If you struggle with breathing exercises during anxiety/panic, try any other activity that brings you “into your body” like a complicated finger-tapping routine, lightly scratching your palms, visually imagining your heart beating more slowly, etc. Anything that provides your brain with evidence that you are in your body and it is the present. If you have trauma-related panic attacks, it can also be very helpful to do non-breathing activities that remind you that you’re in the present and not in the trauma. Things like slowly stating the date or acknowledging the present to separate ourselves from the trauma. E.g., “it is now June of 2023. I am 23 years old. I graduated last spring. I live in Toronto now. I have a loving partner at home that I will see later today. I am on my way to my yoga class.” That’s helped some of my clients, so maybe it will help you 🥰
I suffer greatly from depression, anxiety, and complete paranoia and fear, so having this definitely helps me feel relaxed and remember that there are people in my life who love and care for me.
You’re anxiety & panic videos are one of the only things that genuinely helps me calm down. You’re an absolute god send and it’s so comforting knowing you’ve been through it yourself, it makes me trust you so much. ❤️
@@tracymay6702 I'm saddened to hear that, you are very strong, I went through self-harming in 2021 and it will get better I promise, even though it seems and sounds impossible it will❤ I know how it feels, it may not be the same reason tho... I love you and so do a lot of people, but you should be the number one person on that list, make sure to treat yourself well in tiny ways that will lead to the big ones.
For the past month I have been struggling with stress and anxiety and I always felt like something in my throat was blocking me from breathing and the things that I would think about just made me even more anxious and I felt like I was being dramatic and I kept saying that this wasn’t me. Watching this and reading the comments really helped I personally love affirmations and I’m glade I’m not the only one dealing with anxiety rn❤️
Thank you a lot Sarah, I had an anxiety attack because I live in Russia and have a flag of 🇺🇦 on my window, it’s kinda prohibited here but I still have it and I’m afraid a bit that someone will come for me. You help me feel more comfortable, calm down and realise all I can have is only some big fine. I am okay. I am safe. You are really a life saver, that’s my word.
Fight on, Masha. Don't let anyone, least of all the government, tell you what you can and can't do in your own home. I'm happy Russia has lots of people like you in it.
@@robertlombardo8437 oh my god thank you a lot, I was so exhausted because of all this guilt, and pain, and fear, and compassion - and your comment made me feel better and realise I am not alone. Thank you so much Robert P.S. the flag is still there 🇺🇦 no one came so far!
I wanted to thank you for this video - watched it last night when I was having anxiety and my chest was hurting. It took some time but your prompts did calm me down. I have been watching your videos for a while and they always bring such peace and calm but this one was special 💜
I liked it so much when you told us what to do like “all your attention on me right now”, then proceeded to comfort us. It really feels like you’re the one in charge yet we’re not being forced to do anything, and that’s really comforting. Thank you so much! 🤍
I'm not really okay...life has been really hard...I don't even want to be alive anymore but still keeping up so seeing this was like a light in a really dark place...thank you for being you are...
Just take it each day at a time ❤ i know the thought of living your life like this can be overwhelming and too much but dont think about the rest of your life just think about getting through today x
I just came across this video whilst I could feel a real bad panic attack coming on and I’m so grateful I did! Thank you so much it made me so much calmer ♥️
Watched this video a few months ago when things were bad and i was having the craziest anxiety attacks i couldn’t sleep but this video helped me sm!! You don’t know how much you’re appreciated really ❤
I can’t even express how much this works. To a point that I’ve watched this mid panic attack, mid sobbing, etc. and now, just seeing the video, I begin to calm down 😭 thank youuuu it helps so much
Can you do more anxiety relief videos with tips please? 😭 This was so incredibly comforting and calming, I can’t believe how many times I’ve watched it. Thank you so much for creating this video, there’s not many things that calm my anxiety, but your video always seems to do the trick 😊
I know this video has been up for a couple years but I cannot thank you enough, I've used this for multiple nights now after thinking no video or asmr could help me feel better but this has worked wonders, thank you so much ^^❤
I've been having horrible anxiety that effects my sleep and I can't do the breathing on my own, so I always come back to this video. Thank you so much for helping me get through my anxiety and letting me rest!! ^^ 💗💗
This is the video I always come back to whenever I feel myself getting into a anxiety/panic attack spiral. This video always makes me feel better, safe and reminds me that I’m not alone with my thoughts and feelings❤️
Just wanted to say, thank you for making this video. I was just having a horrible anxiety attack and couldn't breath and your video forced me to focus on my breathing and re center. I still kinda feel like some one is sitting on my chest but atleast now I can breath and that feeling is becoming lighter.
I had an anxiety attack a few days ago, it was overwhelming to the point where it’s still affecting me and has heightened my anxiety. It was probably due to the fact that it was one of the first times I’ve had an attack in front of another person. This calmed my nerves a bit, thank you.
I’ve struggled with awful anxiety for years now. Actually caused me to quit my job recently and it’s been really hard. But I REALLY appreciate videos like this. Thank you. ❣️
THANK YOU! I was having a really bad anxiety spell last night & thought I was going to be up all night. You had me asleep after 15 minutes. I appreciate these videos so much ♥️
Just found your channel a few days ago, and I'm so happy I did! You seem so down-to-earth and genuine. The way you described the 3 types of anxiety that you experience really struck me, because I can relate to experiencing the distinction between those different types of anxiety as well. The exercises in this video really helped me reduce my anxiety so thank you ❤
Thank you for helping me.I had a fight with my family, and I cried.... I really felt guilty, and I even said "I wish I was alone, and no one else could make me cry"
Thank you, I've never heard of the tapping and I think this is something I will carry with me to help. I've been teetering on the edge of a panic attack all day and I finally feel like I can breathe better and relax my body.
Thank you so much for this video 🥹 you saved me from my anxiety attack right now that felt like it was going to last me all day. You really helped relax and calm my body, spirit, & mind. I hope you and anyone else reading this is doing well. And if anybody ever needs someone to talk to me I’m here! There’s no better feeling than having someone there w you when you’re having a anxiety / panic attack. Much love to everyone 🩷
I'm so thankful for this video. I've had anxiety for most of my life, and I'm 26 now. Breathing techniques were always recommended to me, but I suppose I never did them correctly, so I'd usually think they aren't working for me. However, I was experiencing a very bad panic attack after a possible night terror, and this video was the only thing that could calm me down! I now fully believe in breathing exercises, it just takes a few minutes to feel the effects. Your whispering voice and white voice help a lot, too. You're truly an expert, as I've rarely felt myself transitioning into a calm state so smoothly. Your video managed to get me there, though. Thank you!
I started this video to help with my nighttime anxiety I get in bed and I almost stopped watching after a few minutes but I am glad that I stayed and was able to calm my thoughts. This was one of the best videos I’ve come across to help my anxiety 🙏👏
Sarah, you have no idea how perfectly timed this video release was. My whole life was very harshly redirected this weekend, and I’ve been having the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced in my life while trying to deal with it. This video did wonders. I watched it three times in a row 🥺🥲 The breathing, the affirmations, the gentle whispers… everything was perfect. Thank you for making content, you are genuinely making a difference in our lives. 🤍
I really appreciated this video, I have been really stressed with school and other challenges that have led to bad anxiety the past couple weeks and your channel has really helped me feel that I’m not alone in feeling this way, thank you so much ♥️
I have so bad anxiety, I can't even explain. Your video really helped me. Thanks a lot. I am watching your video while doing my assignment(late in the night) as I can complete the work without any stress and also fall asleep(I have severe insomnia) Thanks again.
The world is in such a dark place right now. I am devastated for the Ukraine. I think there are sadly alot of people suffering from anxiety tonight. So thank you Sarah!
I have 36 years on this earth and nothing has comforted or soothed me more quickly or thoroughly than this. i have shared this widely and i return often in my most painful moments for a comforting and soothing experience. from the depths of my being - thank you 🙏🏼
I can't begin to thank you enough. I was having the worst anxiety ever from a medication I'm on and i found this video and like 13:00 mins in i felt so much better and by the end of the video I'm feeling so relaxed and calm my anxiety is gone for now so ty. This is the 2nd video of yours that has helped me so much. I really appreciate you and what you do. There are only a few channels that can help my anxiety as fast as this did and they are softly galoshes,michael seely,asmr darling and well that's all of them. But you and softly galoshes are my top 2 favorites even though I'm quite new to your channel michael seely isn't asmr but he does hypnosis and meditation videos for anxiety depression ect and i must say atleast from my experience it really works. I'm sorry for rambling just wanted to say I'm so glad i found your channel and ty again.
this honestly helped and relaxed me in ways i didn’t know were possible and it’s so comforting. thank you soo much for being understanding and kind and funny and caring throughout the video. i think the deep breathing really helps because most of the time when i have an anxiety or panic attack i completely forget to breathe at all which makes it so much worse. after this video im reminded to breathe and it helps so much 🤍🤍🌊
Love these videos. Your previous one I watched so many times during drives and train rides when I was dealing with a massive panic episode a month ago. It helped so much. It is reassuring to me personally hearing from someone who has dealt with these issues as well. One day I would love to do this too to help people.
The moment I hear that "You have to forgive yourself, I feel so much better", becuase It's reminder to me no matter how stupid mistake one has made, we all have to go one... Thank you Sarah so much! I am so happy that you understand source of all anxiety, that it's actually caused by personal mirepresentation of oneself... You helped me out.
I've been pretty stressed with school lately and I found this sometime last year when i was in the middle of a panic attack. Calmed me down instantly and helped me fall asleep as soon as my body was to tired to even keep my eyes open. I always come back to this even when I'm not that anxious. Thank you so much for creating this!
Thank you for this video. It helped calm me down and It honestly made me cry a little bit bc I feel so weird and crazy all the time but hearing you say how valid my feelings are really made me emotional in a good way ❤
Though I listened to your video last night, I came back to write a comment this morning. I found it during the hardest and ugliest cry about my non-stop exhausting anxiety about my future. It was 3 am, and I thought that I wasn't going to sleep tonight. Your ASMR helped me to calm down, and I was peacefully sleeping right after the part with the nail tapping started. Thank you for this video, and have a really nice day!
Watching this at the hospital 💕💕 My resting heart rate has been over 150 for over 3 hours and this is the only thing that managed to calm me down 💕 Loved the EFT
I was having a panic attack and my heart was pounding I seriously thought I wasn’t okay at all but now I watched the whole video and now I feel normal again. Thank you so much for what you do and never stop making these videos ❤️
Thank you Sarah ❤ you really helped me when I had the badest anxiety attacks of my life and felt so alone . Now I am better, and I think you are a part of the reason that I am better now. I listened to you for 2 months in a row, several times a day. You give so much of your self, so for that I wanna thank you. You make perfect ASMR for mental health ❤❤❤
I am new to your channel and I have watched 11 videos already! They are all incredible made! I really wish that you receive more recognition because you definitely deserve!!
I’ve lost count of how many times this video has helped me through my anxiety attacks. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I seriously can’t thank you enough!
I’ve been suffering from incredible anxiety, paranoia, and panic attacks as my physical health stays in the dumps longer than expected. This is the first thing that’s been able to slow my beating heart and make me realize that much of my negative symptoms today have been a continual panic attack. Thank you
Can you please do more guidance breathing with positive affirmation asmr videos! They are very helpful. With counting numbers and finger snapping too!🥺🤩 if possible longer than 30 minutes. I notice when you reach the 30 minutes you feel very calm and relax but the extra 15-20 minutes give you the las quick to total relaxation and even sleep.
I just wanna say that I am 8 minutes into the video and I love you already. You helped calm me down completely 🥺 thank you so much. I will be watching your videos daily 🫶🏽💕
This was so powerful , thank you so much. I got an anxiety .. not attack, but a rush almost, after having my mother attack me. Even being in my late 20s, and living independently in a different country, I still can't fully shrug off her attacks whenever she decides to blame me for her problems with her mother, not feeling loved or safe getting old. So I'm always on the search fro calming, self-soothing and self-affirming practices, and this video has been one of the best!! Thank you for you dedication and work, this really really helped me bring myself together. Will definitely be coming back 🙏
I’ve been pushed a lot out of my comfort zone today in an effort to better myself, but my anxiety has been coming here and there because of it. I feel very calm right now just typing this comment out though and I appreciate the support you are giving without asking anything in return 😊. I feel very grateful in this moment, thank you for being understanding and down to earth.
I was having difficulty breathing, racing thoughts and pressure in chest. I realized I was having an anxiety attack triggered by something. Sarah you really helped ground me and calm me down. Your videos are always beautiful! Thank you so much
I was having an anxiety attack in the middle of the night and for two hours i had been panicking to the point of bursting into tears. I searched for literally anything that could calm me down just a little and opted for your video... by the end of it i was sleeping safe and sound. THANK YOU
As my first ever comment on RUclips I'd like to thank you for this video, Sarah. Not only it helped me to calm down when I had a panic attack, but I felt better for the first time after breathing exercises! I never believed that it is a thing for me, but being assured that this will work gave me hope that I can beat those "anxiety waves". You have a really soothing voice for me too. Thank you so much! And to anyone who might read this comment - you're stronger than anxiety. There are a lot of ways to deal with it and I wish you to find one's that'll work great for you! Please don't give up on trying them ❤
I'm sorry that you're dealing with anxiety. It can be really difficult to push through those difficult moments, but you are so strong!!💖💖I'm glad that you're here and that the videos are helpful!
Tonight this was a life saver. Woke up 4 am completely stressed and unable to calm down, and I accidentally found your video. Thank you for your kind help.
Nothing is more comforting than getting comforted by someone who ACTUALLY seems to get it. Thank you so much for this and for doing it in a whisper 🥺❣️
Thank you Jennifer 🥺💕

I’m so happy to have come across these comments deep breathing has caused panic attacks for me also not always but it has in certain occasions.

As Sarah said the human brain is weird, but thank you for this and for everyone sharing their experiences we are not alone….! Thank you for bringing up the EFTapping, that definitely worked for me 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey, friends. I’m a trauma therapist so I actually work with a lot of people who struggle with breathing exercises. When I have my own panic attacks, I find that I have to take one deep breath, hold it as long as I possibly can, let it out slowly, and repeat as necessary. It stops me from hyperventilating, but this might not be the case for everyone. If you struggle with breathing exercises during anxiety/panic, try any other activity that brings you “into your body” like a complicated finger-tapping routine, lightly scratching your palms, visually imagining your heart beating more slowly, etc. Anything that provides your brain with evidence that you are in your body and it is the present. If you have trauma-related panic attacks, it can also be very helpful to do non-breathing activities that remind you that you’re in the present and not in the trauma. Things like slowly stating the date or acknowledging the present to separate ourselves from the trauma. E.g., “it is now June of 2023. I am 23 years old. I graduated last spring. I live in Toronto now. I have a loving partner at home that I will see later today. I am on my way to my yoga class.” That’s helped some of my clients, so maybe it will help you 🥰
I suffer greatly from depression, anxiety, and complete paranoia and fear, so having this definitely helps me feel relaxed and remember that there are people in my life who love and care for me.
🥺♥️
i’ve been suffering from crippling anxiety for about a year and a half now, and this video almost instantly calmed me down. thank you so so so much.
This video made me cry. I just feel like I have a real friend. Thank you for doing this. You seem like a really nice person.
You’re anxiety & panic videos are one of the only things that genuinely helps me calm down. You’re an absolute god send and it’s so comforting knowing you’ve been through it yourself, it makes me trust you so much. ❤️
Thank you so much 💕 I’m glad they help 🥺
This is the second time you have rescued me from an intense self harming panic attack. I wish I had a friend, or mother, or sister like you.
How are you doing rn?❤
still have bad episodes every now and then 😔
@@tracymay6702 I'm saddened to hear that, you are very strong, I went through self-harming in 2021 and it will get better I promise, even though it seems and sounds impossible it will❤ I know how it feels, it may not be the same reason tho... I love you and so do a lot of people, but you should be the number one person on that list, make sure to treat yourself well in tiny ways that will lead to the big ones.
@@lorena98695 thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I wish i had a family member or friend like this.
For the past month I have been struggling with stress and anxiety and I always felt like something in my throat was blocking me from breathing and the things that I would think about just made me even more anxious and I felt like I was being dramatic and I kept saying that this wasn’t me. Watching this and reading the comments really helped I personally love affirmations and I’m glade I’m not the only one dealing with anxiety rn❤️
Needless to say, this is definitely something we all need right now. Thanks a million Sarah for all ya do 🙏🙏
Thank you Jacob 🥺💕
Out of all the triggers, there is not even a match. Your whispering voice is what does it!
Thank you a lot Sarah, I had an anxiety attack because I live in Russia and have a flag of 🇺🇦 on my window, it’s kinda prohibited here but I still have it and I’m afraid a bit that someone will come for me. You help me feel more comfortable, calm down and realise all I can have is only some big fine. I am okay. I am safe. You are really a life saver, that’s my word.
That’s extremely brave of you! Thank you 💕
Fight on, Masha. Don't let anyone, least of all the government, tell you what you can and can't do in your own home. I'm happy Russia has lots of people like you in it.
@@robertlombardo8437 oh my god thank you a lot, I was so exhausted because of all this guilt, and pain, and fear, and compassion - and your comment made me feel better and realise I am not alone. Thank you so much Robert
P.S. the flag is still there 🇺🇦 no one came so far!
@@pannocska
You're very welcome. I'll pray for you, and I hope you'll do the same for me.
And P.S. I'm happy to hear that!
😊🇺🇦
Yes stay safe Marya god will keep u safe and u stay safe as well god bless
I wanted to thank you for this video - watched it last night when I was having anxiety and my chest was hurting. It took some time but your prompts did calm me down. I have been watching your videos for a while and they always bring such peace and calm but this one was special 💜
I liked it so much when you told us what to do like “all your attention on me right now”, then proceeded to comfort us. It really feels like you’re the one in charge yet we’re not being forced to do anything, and that’s really comforting. Thank you so much! 🤍
I'm not really okay...life has been really hard...I don't even want to be alive anymore but still keeping up so seeing this was like a light in a really dark place...thank you for being you are...
Just take it each day at a time ❤ i know the thought of living your life like this can be overwhelming and too much but dont think about the rest of your life just think about getting through today x
How are you today ❤ I hope you've come through well x
I just came across this video whilst I could feel a real bad panic attack coming on and I’m so grateful I did! Thank you so much it made me so much calmer ♥️
Watched this video a few months ago when things were bad and i was having the craziest anxiety attacks i couldn’t sleep but this video helped me sm!! You don’t know how much you’re appreciated really ❤
I can’t even express how much this works. To a point that I’ve watched this mid panic attack, mid sobbing, etc. and now, just seeing the video, I begin to calm down 😭 thank youuuu it helps so much
This video is so so so lovely and helpful! Love this!!! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much Matty!!! 🥰
Hi Matty!
I'm a music therapist with PTSD and I found this SO helpful. Thank you for such a lovely and yet practical video.
Can you do more anxiety relief videos with tips please? 😭 This was so incredibly comforting and calming, I can’t believe how many times I’ve watched it. Thank you so much for creating this video, there’s not many things that calm my anxiety, but your video always seems to do the trick 😊
I know this video has been up for a couple years but I cannot thank you enough, I've used this for multiple nights now after thinking no video or asmr could help me feel better but this has worked wonders, thank you so much ^^❤
I've been having horrible anxiety that effects my sleep and I can't do the breathing on my own, so I always come back to this video. Thank you so much for helping me get through my anxiety and letting me rest!! ^^ 💗💗
This is the video I always come back to whenever I feel myself getting into a anxiety/panic attack spiral. This video always makes me feel better, safe and reminds me that I’m not alone with my thoughts and feelings❤️
Just wanted to say, thank you for making this video. I was just having a horrible anxiety attack and couldn't breath and your video forced me to focus on my breathing and re center. I still kinda feel like some one is sitting on my chest but atleast now I can breath and that feeling is becoming lighter.
I had an anxiety attack a few days ago, it was overwhelming to the point where it’s still affecting me and has heightened my anxiety. It was probably due to the fact that it was one of the first times I’ve had an attack in front of another person. This calmed my nerves a bit, thank you.
This was lifesaving for stopping my panic attack- you’re an angel
I’m so happy it helped ❤️ sending love
I’ve struggled with awful anxiety for years now. Actually caused me to quit my job recently and it’s been really hard. But I REALLY appreciate videos like this. Thank you. ❣️
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been going through that and I’m glad I could help! 🥺💕 things will get better!
Omg same! Had to get back on meds. Hope you’re well 👍🏾
THANK YOU!
I was having a really bad anxiety spell last night & thought I was going to be up all night. You had me asleep after 15 minutes. I appreciate these videos so much ♥️
Love all your mental health focused ASMR :)
Just found your channel a few days ago, and I'm so happy I did! You seem so down-to-earth and genuine. The way you described the 3 types of anxiety that you experience really struck me, because I can relate to experiencing the distinction between those different types of anxiety as well. The exercises in this video really helped me reduce my anxiety so thank you ❤
Thank you Nichol! 🥰
Thank you for helping me.I had a fight with my family, and I cried....
I really felt guilty, and I even said "I wish I was alone, and no one else could make me cry"
Thank you, I've never heard of the tapping and I think this is something I will carry with me to help. I've been teetering on the edge of a panic attack all day and I finally feel like I can breathe better and relax my body.
I’m so glad! 💕
Thank you so much for this video 🥹 you saved me from my anxiety attack right now that felt like it was going to last me all day. You really helped relax and calm my body, spirit, & mind. I hope you and anyone else reading this is doing well. And if anybody ever needs someone to talk to me I’m here! There’s no better feeling than having someone there w you when you’re having a anxiety / panic attack. Much love to everyone 🩷
I needed this.. I haven't been feeling right and I'm scared it might be something worse than just confusion.. thank you!
I don’t know you, but you got this! 🙂
Same here 😔
I'm so thankful for this video. I've had anxiety for most of my life, and I'm 26 now. Breathing techniques were always recommended to me, but I suppose I never did them correctly, so I'd usually think they aren't working for me. However, I was experiencing a very bad panic attack after a possible night terror, and this video was the only thing that could calm me down! I now fully believe in breathing exercises, it just takes a few minutes to feel the effects. Your whispering voice and white voice help a lot, too. You're truly an expert, as I've rarely felt myself transitioning into a calm state so smoothly. Your video managed to get me there, though. Thank you!
i really like the aesthetic to this, i feel it adds to the homely, comfy factor (:
I started this video to help with my nighttime anxiety I get in bed and I almost stopped watching after a few minutes but I am glad that I stayed and was able to calm my thoughts. This was one of the best videos I’ve come across to help my anxiety 🙏👏
I get panic attacks pretty regularly and this video is stopping me from crying so thank you :)
Sarah, you have no idea how perfectly timed this video release was. My whole life was very harshly redirected this weekend, and I’ve been having the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced in my life while trying to deal with it. This video did wonders. I watched it three times in a row 🥺🥲 The breathing, the affirmations, the gentle whispers… everything was perfect. Thank you for making content, you are genuinely making a difference in our lives. 🤍
I’m so glad it was able to help, Gracie! Sending you love and good vibes 💕 you’ve got this!
I really appreciated this video, I have been really stressed with school and other challenges that have led to bad anxiety the past couple weeks and your channel has really helped me feel that I’m not alone in feeling this way, thank you so much ♥️
I'm glad Brielle 💕 thank you
I have so bad anxiety, I can't even explain. Your video really helped me.
Thanks a lot. I am watching your video while doing my assignment(late in the night) as I can complete the work without any stress and also fall asleep(I have severe insomnia)
Thanks again.
The world is in such a dark place right now. I am devastated for the Ukraine. I think there are sadly alot of people suffering from anxiety tonight. So thank you Sarah!
I have 36 years on this earth and nothing has comforted or soothed me more quickly or thoroughly than this. i have shared this widely and i return often in my most painful moments for a comforting and soothing experience. from the depths of my being - thank you 🙏🏼
oh wow🥺❤️thank you so much for this sweet comment! I'm so glad that the videos help🥰
I can't begin to thank you enough. I was having the worst anxiety ever from a medication I'm on and i found this video and like 13:00 mins in i felt so much better and by the end of the video I'm feeling so relaxed and calm my anxiety is gone for now so ty. This is the 2nd video of yours that has helped me so much. I really appreciate you and what you do. There are only a few channels that can help my anxiety as fast as this did and they are softly galoshes,michael seely,asmr darling and well that's all of them. But you and softly galoshes are my top 2 favorites even though I'm quite new to your channel michael seely isn't asmr but he does hypnosis and meditation videos for anxiety depression ect and i must say atleast from my experience it really works. I'm sorry for rambling just wanted to say I'm so glad i found your channel and ty again.
this honestly helped and relaxed me in ways i didn’t know were possible and it’s so comforting. thank you soo much for being understanding and kind and funny and caring throughout the video. i think the deep breathing really helps because most of the time when i have an anxiety or panic attack i completely forget to breathe at all which makes it so much worse. after this video im reminded to breathe and it helps so much 🤍🤍🌊
You are the only person who help me calm my anxiety yesterday, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
Love these videos. Your previous one I watched so many times during drives and train rides when I was dealing with a massive panic episode a month ago. It helped so much. It is reassuring to me personally hearing from someone who has dealt with these issues as well. One day I would love to do this too to help people.
The moment I hear that "You have to forgive yourself, I feel so much better", becuase It's reminder to me no matter how stupid mistake one has made, we all have to go one...
Thank you Sarah so much! I am so happy that you understand source of all anxiety, that it's actually caused by personal mirepresentation of oneself... You helped me out.
One of the most calming ASMR videos I've ever watched. Kudos Sarah
Thank you! 🥺💜
I've been pretty stressed with school lately and I found this sometime last year when i was in the middle of a panic attack. Calmed me down instantly and helped me fall asleep as soon as my body was to tired to even keep my eyes open. I always come back to this even when I'm not that anxious. Thank you so much for creating this!
Hola 5 month ago me. So far you've done pretty good in school and urs only Q2.
My anxiety’s been very bad lately and I often struggle to find ways to calm myself, this helped so so much. Thank you!
You’re so soothing and the way that you understand how it feels and include yourself makes me feel less alone, thank you for this
Thank you for this video. It helped calm me down and It honestly made me cry a little bit bc I feel so weird and crazy all the time but hearing you say how valid my feelings are really made me emotional in a good way ❤
Though I listened to your video last night, I came back to write a comment this morning. I found it during the hardest and ugliest cry about my non-stop exhausting anxiety about my future. It was 3 am, and I thought that I wasn't going to sleep tonight.
Your ASMR helped me to calm down, and I was peacefully sleeping right after the part with the nail tapping started. Thank you for this video, and have a really nice day!
Watching this at the hospital 💕💕 My resting heart rate has been over 150 for over 3 hours and this is the only thing that managed to calm me down 💕 Loved the EFT
How are you now ❤ I hope you are well
I was having a panic attack and my heart was pounding I seriously thought I wasn’t okay at all but now I watched the whole video and now I feel normal again. Thank you so much for what you do and never stop making these videos ❤️
I wish the best for you ❤
Thank you Sarah, your anxiety relief videos have always helped me, back to the very first ones you did. Really appreciate you💖
Thank you Sarah ❤ you really helped me when I had the badest anxiety attacks of my life and felt so alone . Now I am better, and I think you are a part of the reason that I am better now. I listened to you for 2 months in a row, several times a day. You give so much of your self, so for that I wanna thank you. You make perfect ASMR for mental health ❤❤❤
I am new to your channel and I have watched 11 videos already! They are all incredible made! I really wish that you receive more recognition because you definitely deserve!!
Aw thank you!! 💕
With you’re very first “you’re ok” started breaking down crying. Thank you for this video it really helped me let everything out and then calm down 💗
i'm so happy it helped ❤️
i went from having a massive panic attack to feeling calm, thankyou so much❤️
I’ve lost count of how many times this video has helped me through my anxiety attacks. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I seriously can’t thank you enough!
Honestly I think we all need this video rn. Anxiety & panic out the wazoo 🥴 Tysm for the video
I don't even know what it takes to be this kind, but I can't thank you enough. There are no words to express what these videos have meant to me
I get panic attacks every single night. They’re so debilitating. This really helped. Thank you💗💗
Finally someone’s like me! But I hope your anxiety goes away!❤
I’ve been suffering from incredible anxiety, paranoia, and panic attacks as my physical health stays in the dumps longer than expected. This is the first thing that’s been able to slow my beating heart and make me realize that much of my negative symptoms today have been a continual panic attack. Thank you
Can you please do more guidance breathing with positive affirmation asmr videos! They are very helpful. With counting numbers and finger snapping too!🥺🤩 if possible longer than 30 minutes. I notice when you reach the 30 minutes you feel very calm and relax but the extra 15-20 minutes give you the las quick to total relaxation and even sleep.
Of course! I’m glad you liked it 🥰
@@SarahLavenderASMR thank you so much!🥰 thank you for helping me calm down and relax!
I just wanna say that I am 8 minutes into the video and I love you already. You helped calm me down completely 🥺 thank you so much. I will be watching your videos daily 🫶🏽💕
I would love to see more content like this from you Sarah
This genuinely helps me so much. I was on the verge of a panic attack last night and this totally stopped it. Thank you.
You never fail to produce, amazing, have a great sleep you guys 💖💖
This was so powerful , thank you so much. I got an anxiety .. not attack, but a rush almost, after having my mother attack me. Even being in my late 20s, and living independently in a different country, I still can't fully shrug off her attacks whenever she decides to blame me for her problems with her mother, not feeling loved or safe getting old. So I'm always on the search fro calming, self-soothing and self-affirming practices, and this video has been one of the best!! Thank you for you dedication and work, this really really helped me bring myself together. Will definitely be coming back 🙏
Been having a lot of anxiety lately. This was perfect! Such a great job.
I’ve been pushed a lot out of my comfort zone today in an effort to better myself, but my anxiety has been coming here and there because of it. I feel very calm right now just typing this comment out though and I appreciate the support you are giving without asking anything in return 😊. I feel very grateful in this moment, thank you for being understanding and down to earth.
Your channel brings me peace 💟
I was having difficulty breathing, racing thoughts and pressure in chest. I realized I was having an anxiety attack triggered by something. Sarah you really helped ground me and calm me down. Your videos are always beautiful! Thank you so much
I just can say: THANK YOU!
went from shaking like a leaf and scared of puking to crying and sleeping in minutes. This feels so genuine, thank you
I had anxiety from the age of 10 I think and I just had an anxiety attack and this is the thing that helped me the most 😴🍃💖
i'm glad it helped! 🥺💕
I was having an anxiety attack in the middle of the night and for two hours i had been panicking to the point of bursting into tears. I searched for literally anything that could calm me down just a little and opted for your video... by the end of it i was sleeping safe and sound. THANK YOU
Thank you for this ❤️ I'm struggling with breathing because of covid and anxiety and this is helping a lot xx
Of course, I hope you feel better soon!! 💕
As my first ever comment on RUclips I'd like to thank you for this video, Sarah. Not only it helped me to calm down when I had a panic attack, but I felt better for the first time after breathing exercises! I never believed that it is a thing for me, but being assured that this will work gave me hope that I can beat those "anxiety waves". You have a really soothing voice for me too. Thank you so much!
And to anyone who might read this comment - you're stronger than anxiety. There are a lot of ways to deal with it and I wish you to find one's that'll work great for you! Please don't give up on trying them ❤
I'm sorry that you're dealing with anxiety. It can be really difficult to push through those difficult moments, but you are so strong!!💖💖I'm glad that you're here and that the videos are helpful!
Love this! #mentalhealthmatters 💚
Tonight this was a life saver. Woke up 4 am completely stressed and unable to calm down, and I accidentally found your video. Thank you for your kind help.
