I recovered like 95 procent i hawe loes harder stools like before the all problems apered .I thik something gapened in the moment i started gheting gi pains and softer stools unthil they transformed in whater stools worst period in mi life 😢
After a whole night of waking up to panic and trembling, i got so tired of anxiety i said screw this, and got up and did whatever i wanted to and ignored anxiety that morning. As soon as i stopped focusing on it, it immediately left, and i was myself again. This proved there is nothing wrong. Now we have to do this each time we feel panic, until it stops coming.
@sciencetest8 yes. It comes back until you stop being sensitized, but at that point you know it is only nerves so you wait it out until it stops coming. I noticed I was soooo much worse when I played into all the tricks. Going on with your life is what reverses it
Idk if its that simple..it becomes so high and fast that i lose control in my mind. And acting like its nothing does not work. I have chronic hyperventilation also.
@BELG1994 we get stuck in panic and feed into it. Going on with your day loosens the hold it has and you focus on your life instead of the panic. That's what makes it go away, even if relief comes gradually, it comes.
@sciencetest8 trust that it is a false alarm and nothing more. Nerves don't kill people, they just rattle really loudly when we are stressed, that's it.
@@marywallace3100 my mom is the same way. About mid 60s. Going through the process. Don’t get me wrong. It’s like hitting the gym. You have to continue the process. I journal because I relapsed one time. I work as a cop and got a little carried away with saying yes to work. Got in way over my head in an already stressful job. I developed new symptoms and created a totally new spiral but I’m working my way back out. I keep a journal now and it helps me to see warning signs and I can manage my health better.
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about how mushrooms and psychedelics treats anxiety, but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, doctor Greg mushroom I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
i had to come back to this video because it basically explains everything for me. having strange symptoms doctors cant explain but just being caused by anxiety. idk why more people dont talk about this its been ruining my life
I had a panic attack and woke up. I went to the emergency room because I had a tight chest and hard to breath. Doctors did every test and come back very healthy and no issues. Since that time I currently am living in fear. This video has helped so much. I'm currently drinking sleep aid teas to relax my mind. I feel like I'm living in a panic everyday.
@leandregoliath6920 I hope you're doing well. I know the pain of dealing with Anxiety, panic disorder, panic attacks it's not fun at all to deal with but we will overcome it :)
Dont give up. Keep moving forward. If you get out of bed in the morning then you're already winning. Ive been dealing with a lot of symptoms for a year and a half now. My main ones are dizziness off balance and bad eye problems. Ive bad bouts of anxiety and panic attacks which have led to health anxiety and agoraphobia. I think we can all agree it sucks and we wish it would all just go away. It can really bring a person down day after day. Like i said dont give up. After everything ive been through i had my first bout of derealization today. Scared the hell out of me. Just gonna try to throw it under the umbrella the best i can. Its hard. Its all hard. But please try to remember thay suffering is a choice.
I had an absolutely terrible crash 4 years ago, recovered and then had a "replay" a year back. Same symptoms but way worse . I have listened to a huge range of therapists, life motivation speakers,trying to find a way to heal but have just felt increasingly overwhelmed by the content. I stumbled quite by accident upon this video and thought ....what the heck, let's take a listen .....oh my goodness, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, I have to date not heard it explained so simply but concisely, with totally attainable "handles" to real recovery. It was like a HUGE weight was lifted as I heard you telling me I don't have to fight it, fix it, fear it but recognise all the overwhelming emotion to be simply symptoms.of ONE, singular issue ....anxiety....and practice ALARM and the five F's again and again. I cannot tell you what this video has meant to me and I am so very very grateful for your making this intelligence available to the public. Bless you hugely.
I have suffered panic attacks for 17 years, I've done so much research , but this is by far the most helpful video I have ever watched. Thank you for this insight.
I write this advice after watching all of Shaans videos and reading Dr. Claire Weeks' book because it helped me recover. You can overcome this. The main thing is if you made it past 1 month with anxiety, then you already know nothing is going to happen to you. You'll be fine so try not to avoid work, outings, traveling, etc. Keep on living. Don't fight the symptoms. Don't use teas, herbs, weighted blankets, meditation, don't let your body know you're fighting. Think of a time when you were most relaxed. For example, you were watching a movie, sports, just sitting down on the couch, looking at the sky. Think hard on how you were breathing when you were super calm. For me it was soft breathing. No deep breaths, no long exhales. Now, from now on to when you're going through anxiety symptoms and difficult moments, where your adrenaline and cortisol are high, and your symptoms are out of control, BREATH how you would when you were in that calm state. No deep breaths, just calm breaths. All the time. At all moments. Eventually your nervous system will pick up on it, that you're safe and there's no threat and you'll get better. It's easier said than done but it took me a few months to drastically reduce my symptoms. Now they're non-existent. Slowly you'll start to build confidence and reduce fear to when eventually you recover.
weak left arms, muscle twitching, heart palpitations sometimes, chest pains sometimes makes me spiraaaaaal!!! thinking i might get a ❤ attack! when i knowww deep inside me that this is just anxiety, when i'm stresssed for a long period of time, or when i'm so worked up.
Same I’m going thru early perimenopause and my hormones are causing havoc on my body and the panic happens so out of the blue then I spiral when I get the bodily sensations
Its easier said than done. Once youre extremely anxious and get hit with a panic attack thats when it gets hard. You just want to run to your safe place and you lose control.
You are wrong. Despite me feeling wanting to do all that big realised I had no choice but to feel it and go through it. And I did and I'm much better now
I had a panic attack 3 yrs ago and had know idea what it was until i found your channel. I have come along way , but still plagued with 1 constant issue . I am trying to get back to going to the dr because this has now given me whitecoat syndrome . I will over come , ty for all your guidance
I don't think I ever even had a panic or anxiety attack until perhaps I was in my early to mid 30s! Those things can definitely also come and go, or onset at a certain point in one's life. I'm with you, I have some semblance of white coat syndrome too, mainly from actual medical stuff than anything else. But I have had mixed and terrible experiences before with psychiatrists or counselors, so I'm wary. It's ok to be wary.
Recognizing and addressing whitecoat syndrome, especially after a history of panic attacks, is a significant step towards recovery. Your journey from not understanding panic attacks to actively seeking help and guidance is inspiring. Overcoming the fear of medical environments will likely be a challenging but rewarding process. Your determination to push through and the progress you’ve made so far are commendable. It’s a reminder of the importance of perseverance and seeking support in overcoming anxiety-related challenges.
Never be scared of anxiety i have suffered from anxiety and depression at the same time. Get rid of negative thoughts for example that you are not gonna get better or how will i overcome anxiety, you will get better time heals everything ❤
I always acknowledge my anxiety and I always push through it because I have no choice. But I’m miserable. I’m exhausted all the time because I’m always pushing through anxiety and I never am just calm and chill and cool.. ever.
Excellent Video Shaan. Very well done. Ive been dealing with anxiety, derealization and depersinalization, and panic attacks for a long time. 10+ years due to drugs. Now i fear for my health due to long term smoking and cancer/thanatophobia. I had an xray and it came out clear and my blood was normal. I found i have a chronic cough but dont know its origin, this spurred my most recent bout of anxiety, which has lasted for roughly 10 months so far. I still have the cough, but im younger and witht the clear xray i doubt it’s anything serious. My anxiety does cause heart rate increased and shortness of breath at times which only exacerbates my fears. Very unfun. You hit the nail on the head. I hope you make more content. This video is currently helping me through one of my episodes right now. Thank you. To anyone else experiencing similar, i love you, and know that youre not alone. Hopefully anyone who reads this leaves a comment as a reply and we can see theres many of us, and we are together in the challenge.
Ive been having an insanely rough time over the past 2 weeks with panic disorded. Thank you for this video. I have tears running down from a sense of relief for the first time in what feels like forever.
thank you shaan for pointing out the anxiety symptoms. unfortunately most people especially those who never experienced this will never understand and say this is just an excuse for running away from the reality. i recently had a panic attack which led to hyperventilating on and off. i thought i was gonna get cardiac arrest or heart attack and all the wild thoughts coming to my mind to consume me. people around me just think that i’m just being a baby
I can relate to what you have said, I was only in the garden yesterday removing some old decking boards after I had finished I was putting my tools away and suddenly started to get a heavy chest and my neck became stiff this went on for 45mins, I started to panic, heart rate went up to 137bpm, feeling dizzy and shortness of breath, I suffer from chronic Anxiety since knowing about I have a Aortic Root Dilation from March 2023, when I get chest discomfort I just don't know what to do, it's scary living like this.
Oh yeah about the setbacks.. I once cried cause I felt great for two days and then the next day I experienced symtoms of anxiety. So I cried when I came back home. Cried so hard cause I taught I'm finally ok. Know I know what I did was wrong. Now I can finally laugh. Not fully healed but I'm getting close. For you who are reading this, I love you. I really do. I'm crying rn while I'm typing this cause of love. So whatever you are dealing rn, I'm very sure u can overcome it. Man I wish I can give you a hug rn.
@@boostandflow4603 I just let things happen..Just allowing my symptoms to be there and just wait till it's gone.. Overtime it gets weaker and weaker and you don't even have to think about it anymore.
Thank you so much, Shaan. I started experiencing massive panic attacks a few weeks back after experiencing intense stress at work for a long time, and I am currently in the process of accepting the symptoms that anxiety is causing and pushing myself to go out and continue to do my day-to-day things while the anxiety symptoms are there. This video has given me hope that I’m moving in the right direction. Again, thank you so much.
Your experience with panic attacks and work-related stress is something many can relate to. Accepting anxiety symptoms and continuing with daily activities despite them is a powerful approach. It’s about reclaiming your life from anxiety's grip and moving forward despite the fear. Your journey illustrates that while anxiety can be debilitating, taking small steps towards normalcy can lead to significant progress. Your message of hope and perseverance is inspiring, showing that even amidst intense stress, there is a way forward.
I started hiking, trekking and visiting small mountains and hills, even challenged myself to climb some difficult small mountains (not recommended) to face and fight my fear, started playing sports (cricket) and that's how I got rid atleast 80% of severe panic attacks. And still I'm an introvert, highly sensitive person with a little of social anxiety but I'm so happy that I got rid of those scary panic attacks. Now I'm planning to work 8-10 hours a day, to exersise (breathing and stretching exercises, running etc.) at most 2 hours a day (1 hours in morning and 30-60 minutes in evening) and to eliminate digital screen time before going to bed.
I had a THC induced panic attack more than a week ago, and I’ve felt like I lost 2 weeks of my life. This video has help me so much, and now I finally feel hopeful for the future! Thank you, I appreciate you so much
This was by far your best video. You sound so much more genuine now ( you always have been) but like you said, your own setback allowed you to feel a bit more for us anxious folks lol
The fear is something that can be overcome. Know that what you are experiencing is a symptom of anxiety, and know that you are actually OK, and as someone who is on the recovery journey, Know that you can with practice, some day feel great. You got this my guy, I'm working hard too. I'm very healthy, and anxiety is a liar. Know that anxiety is lying to you, you are healthy and strong, flex your muscles, look at yourself in the mirror, look at how perfectly fine you are in the mirror. And give yourself a wink, cuz you got this.
@@EpicRivers1as I'm reading this I'm smiling..these are awesome affirmations. I'm struggling for 6 months now. Getting stuck on the acceptance step. God bless you for bringing a smile to my face with your comment. ❤
oh damn...My 12 years relationship ended 2 months ago. After she left and i understood i am alone now, my world collapsed. i have always been skinny and i lost my appetite. have been lost a lot of weight (15 lbs).., self confident went down. scared about future, stressing, anxiety, overthinking everything. what, how, if, when etc... I cant find the joy of things i used to. Feeling like i lost ME with the breakup and just being STUCK. basicly a walking ghost who has no destination. I think one of the big triggers to these is the thought of my ex being happily with some1 else while i struggle and this thought is very very very often in my head. Its just so hard not to think about her... I have done small walkings outside, breathing techniques, meditation, tapping. Going gym actively to gain my weight lost back and constantly thinking about forcing myself to EAT. still just losing weight and stressing about it. Asking my self "WHY I DONT HEAL, HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO TAKE" been watching your videos now like 3 hours and i think something clicked in my head. Now i realise I have tried to fix it by forcing these things and HOPE it will do it. That leading to deeper hole cause i dont see the results witch just give me more stress and anxiety. Instead just understand the cause of these and just let it be and figure it self out. Not by FORCING or OVERTHINKING about it. accept it. I just ate without worrying over it, my stomach didnt feel twisted. i went to a walk with a thought "this wont fix it but makes me feel good" and it felt GREAT!. and same with the other techniques. Its just your body mechanic and survival instinct. Your mind will make you sick if you let it take over you and you keep feeding it. I know this is not going to be easy, but i found a little bit of peace in my head already! Thank you Shaan!
I feel you bro, I have exactly the same issue... don't fight it, go on with your life. Eventually it ends and you'll be back on track ;) good luck and all the best!
Your story of heartbreak and subsequent struggles is deeply moving. The weight loss, anxiety, and loss of self you describe are common responses to significant emotional trauma. Realizing that forcing yourself to heal isn’t effective and instead focusing on acceptance and understanding is a crucial breakthrough. Your newfound peace in small actions and the shift in mindset towards self-compassion and patience are powerful steps towards recovery. Your journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of allowing yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.
thank u brother iwill come back one day to this comment insha allah and that day iam fine and idont fear anymore from my anxiety and that day anyone who is reading this will realize the power of allah and tawakul idont know when but iam sure i have faith in allah iwill be fine insha allah and shaan my brother you motivated me so much may allah bless u.
I have health anxiety. This makes me really really down. Everytime a small part of my body pains I assume it’s a serious illness. To make matters worse, lately I think everyone around me has an illness and that would make me get that sickness too. I really don’t know what to do anymore
Listen to the doctors! They need your money. Go to them and do whatever they say. Also, wear three masks and get a mystery jab from the friendly government health officials.
This video came to me at the perfect moment. As you all heard from him, you have to consciously know your step to response to anxiety and not to avoid it. Today, I just came out of anxiety (though I didn't know how) and I feared that I will go anxious again. I searched and found this video and I was really surprised that I did every step he mentioned. This makes me sure that I was doing the right thing and it lift a HUGE WEIGHT off my head. Thank you Shaan for this great video.
The ALARM method really works. I was starting to make improvements. I had a set back so I’m not there again yet. But I know I can get there again, I know it’s possible.
Probably the best video regarding anxiety recovery and symptoms ive ever seen in my 6 years of anxiety issue. Great job, Shaan❤ Everything that you told made sense (Especially the 5Fs)
Fantastic vid. I got acute anxiety because of exposure to radiation and 1 supplement helped tremendously!! Spermadine which comes from from the oil kernal of wheat germ or brown rice. Proven at a high level to repair and harmonize DNA, Mitochondria and nervous system. The liquid extract ones seemed to work the best.
This was very helpful. As someone recovering from a mind-body illness (CFS), responding well to symptoms and dealing with anxiety is key. Its always good to hear similar principles from other sources. I also believe that we can start discovering our authentic self and live our life according to our values at the beginning. It makes it so much easier to separate our true self identity from the protective patterns (anxiety is a part playing on repeat) so we don't keep associating ourselves with it or allow it to dominate our life.
Just started going through this a few days ago. I have never been through this before, definitely very scary. I had a major attack a few days ago and when i went to the ER my blood pressure was 188/104. Felt like i was having a heart attack. End result after 3 ER visits, 3 ekg's, a CT scan of my brain and body, multiple blood work was that i am extremely healthy. Knowing that upsets me more due to the fact that they cannot find a problem.
I started having the same exact experience 3 weeks ago. I am an athlete, 33 year old female who has NEVER had these symptoms before in my life. Literally had blood work, EKG’s, chest xrays, and ended up in the ER worrying it was my heart or health. Doctors told me I was very healthy and prescriped and anti anxiety for my nighttime anxiety. Refused to take that and supplemented instead with l theanine and magnesium. This has helped a bit, but honestly this video has helped me train my brain. It’s a work in progress. You are not alone. I never, ever ever thought I could feel this way.
@@teafortwolivemusic I know what you mean, I have not taken any of the prescribed meds. I am looking at it like I am in a chess game with my mind every day. So farvthis has been working for me.
You have to recognize anxiety for what it is, which is a bluff. It's your brain telling you something bad is going to happen if you do X, and the only way to show to yourself that it is indeed a bluff and a misfiring of your brain identifying something as a threat is to simply do the thing. Exposure therapy essentially. Also, every time you avoid the thing that is giving you anxiety (a job interview for example) you are essentially telling your subconscious brain, your anxiety, that it is a legitimate threat. And that just makes it worse.
This was incredibly informative and helpful. I realize I’ve fallen into a few of the “5 F” traps myself. Watching your video helped me reset my mindset and regain focus, which has been really calming. Thank you for sharing, and I’ll definitely use these steps whenever anxiety or panic attacks come up. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
But I don't feel anxious for just three minutes; what happens when it's the whole day? Dizziness, chest tightness, pain in my legs and arms, intense dizziness, and pressure in my head. I can hardly see or hear. What can be done in that case? And it's not just three minutes; sometimes it lasts for 8 hours
Go to the doctors. Propanolol helped take the edge of it with me. Shaking body all day, pains in body. Dizziness, head pressure, racing heart 24/7. Thinking the world is going to end. Least little noise had me on high alert. Body drained for months at a time. Go see the doctor.
@@JohnSmith-eh7ozsame high racing hearts blood pressure left chest pains ..and headache ..I was propranolol for three months .but it made my palpitations worse so docs gave me caverdilol and that worked but I stopped cus I ddnt want to be dependent ...my chest pain and palpitations are so frightening
@@Rudy_yah 120 mg of propanolol took the edge of it for me. Could hear my heart thumping all day and night as if it was going to pop out. I'm on trazodone 150 mg too.
Absolute gold of information, everything said of value, work (amazon) developed horrible anxiety, (always been paranoid) so it naturally developed there, i am slowly coming out of it, and this video really nailed it, thank you.
Omgeeee listening makes me wanna cry, this is all i feel now. And i feel like ALARM will help me very much. Im gonna start it today. Thank you sooo much!!! Dealing with anxiety or fear is so hard. Thank you soo much for making this videos.🙏🙏🙏
Hi! I wanted to say thank you for this video - your advice helped me get through a difficult episode of anxiety. My journey started with intense anxiety symptoms and constant fatigue that I couldn’t explain. Eventually, I found out I had a severe vitamin D deficiency and low B12. Initially, the improvement was gradual, but around the third week of supplementing B vitamins, I started to feel a real difference - both my anxiety and concentration improved significantly. I tested my vitamin D levels about a month after my B12 test, so I'm just beginning to see the effects of that supplementation, but I feel a little better each day. If anyone is struggling with similar issues, I recommend checking your vitamin D and B12 levels. For me, discovering these deficiencies was a crucial part of my path to feeling better. You're not alone - it's worth investigating potential causes! I want you all to know that i love you and i know you will survive this!
I have always been prone to anxiety. From the outside, I am very sociable, friendly and fun. If only people knew what I go through in the inside 😢 I have been having panick attacks even in the middle of the night when I am sleeping. My blood starts to boil with fear to the point I'm scared to leave my bed and stand up to check I am OK. What helps me are guided meditations but it is not a definite solution. I fear death, I fear being alive.. It's so overwhelming 😢 I don't know what to do 😢😢😢
Great video! Suffer from General Anxiety Disorder. Most recent episode started due to high stress and burnout about 8 weeks ago. Hardest thing as you say is accepting the symptoms. My main ones are tension headaches, intrusive thoughts and more recently insomnia. I'm a logical and problem solving person so always try to fix the system! Hard to accept it when it impacts your whole day.
I completely felt this comment. I’m also a logical and problem solving person too. I want to science out everything and make sure I understand it all. I never quite get there since anxiety creates random, non logical things to happen at times. And yes, very difficult to do when you are actually feeling these things in your body
Cant believe i participated in a match past competition in a big stadium ....me that can not go to public space or walk out....is like a miracle ....all thank to u shaan.....ur vedio is superb....
My anxiety really started after doing way too much mdma for the first time and since then ive related a lot of symptoms to "feeling high" now my fear has branched out into weed and since im always around it, im always convincing myself im high. I feel a lot of vertigo and nausea and ive been waking up feeling "high". thankfully ive been acknowledging that its my stomach and have been calmly getting through that at night. I do feel myself trusting that its all just anxiety more but i do need to be reminded sometimes, just like today.
I feel seeing this at 1:05AM is God saving me. Had a horrible episode just before the bed time and almost rushed to the ER if it wasn’t for my 13-year-old Golden Retriever who would’ve ended up alone at home the whole night which he had never been in his life
God the father, his son Jesus, and the holy Spirit love you. Jesus our Savior is trying to help you. Stay in the Bible and talk to Jesus. He WILL help you get over this. You are normal and loved. ❤❤❤❤
Great Video! I love how you explain exactly what I have been doing. You are correct, it's ONE thing, not the many symptoms! Thank you for your knowledge!
Im having symptoms over 2 months Now I hope to learn n accept it n just move on But I'm quite experience Dissyness Shortness of breath Panic attack Heart ricing Numbness Having trouble while sleep This is a very big challenge for me hope to get better n over come it soon
Thank you so much. I had improved so much but at he moment dealing with so many challenges I've slipped a little I just had a panic attack. I was able to let it pass alhamdulillah. I prayed while feeling the panic accepting it there loving it to be there welcoming it and it reduced a great deal. We have rent arrears the landlord wants to auction our household items, my mother got a heart attack and with that she is also going into depression and is having panic attacks. I have a toddler as well. May Allah give me the strength to hold on one more time so this too passes. Remember me in your prayers.
Thank you so much for posting this video; even my psychologist did not explain things to me like you did, and it will be extremely beneficial to me on my recovery journey.
This is exactly like me. I tried all different blood test ,MRIs. They couldn’t find anything I’ve seen so many different specialist. They said everything is fine with you. Nothing wrong with you so I woke up today morning with heavy breathing feeling weak. I went to work I start feeling 4:30 cold sweat, this looks like more anxiety I am taking anxiety medication once or twice a week. It helps. Please advise what they said can do for last years struggling to find what’s wrong with me . .
I think its fair to say most of us have oversensitized nervous system.. with the world news at our fingertips it can keep us in high alert.. give the internet a rest for 1 week, do you things you enjoy. Works wonders.
Man this video makes sense. I had a health scare a month ago, (arm went numb, because of working for long hours on the laptop). But given my stupid health anxiety i thought i was having a stroke. Since then my sleep went for a six. I sleep timely but keep waking up at 4-5 am. (Managing 5-6 hrs of sleep but i feel tired) And my vision feels off. Not sure if anyone else faced anything similar and how did you beat it ? Im slowly getting better though its been over a month. But I think my nervous system is bery sensitive right now. Just scared honestly 😂😅.
I was suffering my anxiety been 3 yrs now and i feel so anxious in everything, it’s like i am worrying my health because of my health issues before i got fatty liver, gallstones my cholestirol get high my triglycirides getting high but now everything is back to normal. So everytime when i feel not good in myself that’s the time my anxiety attack. Sometimes, i really cry and don’t know what to do. Like early in the morning i feel nervous and it’s started my palpitations and panic. Please give me some advice that it can help me, i don’t want to suffer like this. And I am so happy i found this video Mr. Shann it help me to think good. Thank you so much… I am from Philippines.
I can’t thank you enough for this video!! 🥹 I’ve been experiencing breathlessness, dizziness and palpitations. Got myself checked and doctors said nothing’s wrong and all my symptoms are probably anxiety induced and gave me Xanax. I just felt so helpless and frustrated with my symptoms. Your video really helped me feel so much better and less lonely in this journey. Thank you!
Thankyou so much Mr. Shaan,Im a Doctor and I listened Your panic attack coping mechanism. Its very true,factual and totally scientific, including the cause, nervous system involvement, and the coping methods. You are doing a wonderful work, you have helped a lot of people facing this event. Hatsoff, you r a superhero for all stressed out people there Thankyou again, keep up the good work 😊
Five hospitals two Gastro’s several ct scans x-rays and a ultra sound as well as a scope doen my neck and all the blood panels I was very angry to find out the dr’s told me it’s in my head . Panick attacks and labored breathing and ect . 8 years later I’m learning about anxiety .. it’s crazy at the symptoms of anxiety .
Yea anxiety makes your nervous system light up like a pin ball machine. It creates symptoms in parts of your body where you are actually totally fine. Just knowing this can help. Know that it is a symptom of anxiety, and then practice what the video says, ALARM- Acknowledge, "I am having a pain in my stomach, it is an anxiety symptom", Label it "Stomach flutters, or cramps" Accept it "I have these stomach cramps, they are here, and I feel them, I don't need to fight it, I don't need to fix it, I'm going to just let it stay here as long as it needs to, and let it pass when it does" Refocus "Ok now what was I doing, Oh, I was watching My show, or playing my game, I will refocus and pay attention to the show" Move on "I don't need to think about this any more because it has passed". Not being afraid of it coming back, because now you know how to handle it. Practice it again and again, and you will get less and less reoccurring symptoms. There is also the therapy in a nutshell website, at the risk of this comment getting deleted they also have a thing on this website.
@@ClaireClaire-c2p mine I believe now was trauma. I had a bad break up and lost a job and moved to a new city all in a few day plus was drinking really heavy back then . To be honest it was scary but I believe it saved my life . I’m still hurting years later with ibs but god is good .
Recovering from anxiety... i sometimes feel dpdr sometimes not when im engaged in a activity.. but my head feels like heavy and numb and do my eyes.. vision is weird sometimes and lights feel dull..outside environment seems off...anyone feeling similar symptoms
For me it's heart racing and some trembling if I check e mails or empty my dish strainer I feel it start to subside, in other words I do something to distract myself
I get it while driving. It’s been a huge problem for me. I try so hard to keep driving but eventually it feels like my body is going into extreme fear or like I’m going to panic and it’s dangerous and I’m really scared of those feelings and then stop driving because everytime I drive it comes back. It’s like being on a rollercoaster .
OK, so what about people that do live their life and just have crippling anxiety all the time or just miserable I have physical or symptoms of anxiety all the time but I feel like I mentally fine., I always push through, but I just want it to stop because I am always, and this heightened anxious alarmed mode everything I do and it’s exhausting.
Very helpful info...... Something that started as a joke,afraid of heights,many years,never confronted it,now as I get order,am reducing my movements especially driving downhill ect,almost refusing to drive myself,am 74yrs and my children have refused to assist,have to confront safely Thanx much
Been taking propanolol for one day and I feel disappointed in myself tbh, I want to overcome all of this without medication but so far it’s helped me so much, I just fear about the side effects of weight gain e.g., but it’s stopped my heart pulpatations and shakes, I’ve got therapy 20th December so once I’ve started that I’m going to try and come of the meds and recover naturally 🙏🏼
Thank you for this formative video, I have been in CONSTANT Fight or Flight For 3 years now, I manage all my thoughts, I work everyday and drag my butt through life. I keep going and do not Focus on it, but the Elephant on my chest NEVER goes away. I have tried SO many modalities its ridiculous. I do not know what to do anymore!
Right now I’m in a dilemma. Having anxiety and went to my GP. He gave me medication. I’m really inclined to take it but don’t actually want to take it.
How do you get past the fact that you are afraid of passing out and all the physical sensations when there is some people that pass out when stressed/high emotional states?
I can relate to this comment. I experienced my first episode of passing out a month ago when I woke up abruptly at 2 am with my heart racing like a ran a marathon. I got up too fast and had tunnel vision and began panicking. I woke my husband up in terror and thankfully he held me up while I briefly passed out. Since then, the fear of that and heart palpitations in the middle of the night have put my on this new path of “anxiety.” Never in my 33 years have I experienced this, and I have been through horrible, horrible family situations involving my parents. L theanine and magnesium glycinate at night helps me relax, and cutting off ALL caffeine as well since then. This video gave me tremendous relief in identifying what I and feeling as simply Anxiety.
What if side effect it insomnia? It is the worst when I have anxiety and it is so hard to not to fear and not think about it because I’m exhausted next day after whole night of not sleeping 😢
Me too I have been trying anxiety asmr and idk maybe I’ll try melatonin bc I still can’t sleep at night even the day after not sleeping properly like I’m not getting tired
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about how mushrooms and psychedelics treats anxiety, but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, doctor Greg mushroom I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

After a whole night of waking up to panic and trembling, i got so tired of anxiety i said screw this, and got up and did whatever i wanted to and ignored anxiety that morning. As soon as i stopped focusing on it, it immediately left, and i was myself again. This proved there is nothing wrong. Now we have to do this each time we feel panic, until it stops coming.
@sciencetest8 yes. It comes back until you stop being sensitized, but at that point you know it is only nerves so you wait it out until it stops coming. I noticed I was soooo much worse when I played into all the tricks. Going on with your life is what reverses it
@sciencetest8 yes it is simple, sensitive nerves bluffs us, it's a false alarm!
Idk if its that simple..it becomes so high and fast that i lose control in my mind. And acting like its nothing does not work. I have chronic hyperventilation also.
@BELG1994 we get stuck in panic and feed into it. Going on with your day loosens the hold it has and you focus on your life instead of the panic. That's what makes it go away, even if relief comes gradually, it comes.
@sciencetest8 trust that it is a false alarm and nothing more. Nerves don't kill people, they just rattle really loudly when we are stressed, that's it.
Guys. Don’t give up. I got out of anxiety. I was able to get my anxiety under control. It took a while but it is doable. I had it since I was 13.

Psychedelic are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It is quite fascinating how effective they’re against depression and anxiety.
I’ve started micro dosing and I no longer need to take antidepressants. I feel unburdened and creative now. Really happy with the results
Hello can you help with a guide I’d really appreciate it. People talk about mushies and psychedelics but no one talks where to get it. I really need.

Yess, Silly_Mycoz.
I had a panic attack and woke up. I went to the emergency room because I had a tight chest and hard to breath. Doctors did every test and come back very healthy and no issues. Since that time I currently am living in fear. This video has helped so much. I'm currently drinking sleep aid teas to relax my mind. I feel like I'm living in a panic everyday.

@leandregoliath6920 I hope you're doing well. I know the pain of dealing with Anxiety, panic disorder, panic attacks it's not fun at all to deal with but we will overcome it :)
I am dealing with the same 🥰🙏🥰
Praying for you!
I am in this boat, always in fight and flight
Dont give up. Keep moving forward. If you get out of bed in the morning then you're already winning. Ive been dealing with a lot of symptoms for a year and a half now. My main ones are dizziness off balance and bad eye problems. Ive bad bouts of anxiety and panic attacks which have led to health anxiety and agoraphobia. I think we can all agree it sucks and we wish it would all just go away. It can really bring a person down day after day. Like i said dont give up. After everything ive been through i had my first bout of derealization today. Scared the hell out of me. Just gonna try to throw it under the umbrella the best i can. Its hard. Its all hard. But please try to remember thay suffering is a choice.
I actually have the same symptoms
Just wanted to say I really needed to hear this. Thank you. We'll get through this together.
same symptoms as me ,My world has gone smaller and smaller .
I have similar symptoms. Also some great explanation from The Steady Coach here on RUclips.
Thank you ❤
I had an absolutely terrible crash 4 years ago, recovered and then had a "replay" a year back. Same symptoms but way worse . I have listened to a huge range of therapists, life motivation speakers,trying to find a way to heal but have just felt increasingly overwhelmed by the content.
I stumbled quite by accident upon this video and thought ....what the heck, let's take a listen .....oh my goodness, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, I have to date not heard it explained so simply but concisely, with totally attainable "handles" to real recovery. It was like a HUGE weight was lifted as I heard you telling me I don't have to fight it, fix it, fear it but recognise all the overwhelming emotion to be simply symptoms.of ONE, singular issue ....anxiety....and practice ALARM and the five F's again and again. I cannot tell you what this video has meant to me and I am so very very grateful for your making this intelligence available to the public. Bless you hugely.
Feel the same. Big Thank you for this video!!!

I have suffered panic attacks for 17 years, I've done so much research , but this is by far the most helpful video I have ever watched. Thank you for this insight.
I write this advice after watching all of Shaans videos and reading Dr. Claire Weeks' book because it helped me recover. You can overcome this. The main thing is if you made it past 1 month with anxiety, then you already know nothing is going to happen to you. You'll be fine so try not to avoid work, outings, traveling, etc. Keep on living. Don't fight the symptoms. Don't use teas, herbs, weighted blankets, meditation, don't let your body know you're fighting. Think of a time when you were most relaxed. For example, you were watching a movie, sports, just sitting down on the couch, looking at the sky. Think hard on how you were breathing when you were super calm. For me it was soft breathing. No deep breaths, no long exhales. Now, from now on to when you're going through anxiety symptoms and difficult moments, where your adrenaline and cortisol are high, and your symptoms are out of control, BREATH how you would when you were in that calm state. No deep breaths, just calm breaths. All the time. At all moments. Eventually your nervous system will pick up on it, that you're safe and there's no threat and you'll get better. It's easier said than done but it took me a few months to drastically reduce my symptoms. Now they're non-existent. Slowly you'll start to build confidence and reduce fear to when eventually you recover.
So true!
This is a super-helpful comment to read, thank you for the detailed advice. Glad to hear you've recovered.
weak left arms, muscle twitching, heart palpitations sometimes, chest pains sometimes makes me spiraaaaaal!!! thinking i might get a ❤ attack! when i knowww deep inside me that this is just anxiety, when i'm stresssed for a long period of time, or when i'm so worked up.

You are wrong. Despite me feeling wanting to do all that big realised I had no choice but to feel it and go through it. And I did and I'm much better now
I had a panic attack 3 yrs ago and had know idea what it was until i found your channel. I have come along way , but still plagued with 1 constant issue . I am trying to get back to going to the dr because this has now given me whitecoat syndrome . I will over come , ty for all your guidance
I don't think I ever even had a panic or anxiety attack until perhaps I was in my early to mid 30s! Those things can definitely also come and go, or onset at a certain point
in one's life. I'm with you, I have some semblance of white coat syndrome too, mainly from actual medical stuff than anything else. But I have had mixed and terrible
experiences before with psychiatrists or counselors, so I'm wary. It's ok to be wary.
Recognizing and addressing whitecoat syndrome, especially after a history of panic attacks, is a significant step towards recovery. Your journey from not understanding panic attacks to actively seeking help and guidance is inspiring. Overcoming the fear of medical environments will likely be a challenging but rewarding process. Your determination to push through and the progress you’ve made so far are commendable. It’s a reminder of the importance of perseverance and seeking support in overcoming anxiety-related challenges.

I always acknowledge my anxiety and I always push through it because I have no choice. But I’m miserable. I’m exhausted all the time because I’m always pushing through anxiety and I never am just calm and chill and cool.. ever.
Good luck to you. You’re not alone. Sometimes I feel like I should be hospitalized 😢
Sorry I feel exactly like you 😭
Excellent Video Shaan. Very well done. Ive been dealing with anxiety, derealization and depersinalization, and panic attacks for a long time. 10+ years due to drugs. Now i fear for my health due to long term smoking and cancer/thanatophobia. I had an xray and it came out clear and my blood was normal. I found i have a chronic cough but dont know its origin, this spurred my most recent bout of anxiety, which has lasted for roughly 10 months so far. I still have the cough, but im younger and witht the clear xray i doubt it’s anything serious. My anxiety does cause heart rate increased and shortness of breath at times which only exacerbates my fears. Very unfun.
You hit the nail on the head. I hope you make more content. This video is currently helping me through one of my episodes right now. Thank you.
To anyone else experiencing similar, i love you, and know that youre not alone. Hopefully anyone who reads this leaves a comment as a reply and we can see theres many of us, and we are together in the challenge.
Ive been having an insanely rough time over the past 2 weeks with panic disorded. Thank you for this video. I have tears running down from a sense of relief for the first time in what feels like forever.
How are you doing now?
@ecaterinaignatov2026 Things are alot better. I'm completely off from medication and handling things a day at a time. Thank you.

How are you now

@@ufwa1637 you how are you do you have any Anxiety
N mine
thank you shaan for pointing out the anxiety symptoms. unfortunately most people especially those who never experienced this will never understand and say this is just an excuse for running away from the reality. i recently had a panic attack which led to hyperventilating on and off. i thought i was gonna get cardiac arrest or heart attack and all the wild thoughts coming to my mind to consume me. people around me just think that i’m just being a baby
I can relate to what you have said, I was only in the garden yesterday removing some old decking boards after I had finished I was putting my tools away and suddenly started to get a heavy chest and my neck became stiff this went on for 45mins, I started to panic, heart rate went up to 137bpm, feeling dizzy and shortness of breath, I suffer from chronic Anxiety since knowing about I have a Aortic Root Dilation from March 2023, when I get chest discomfort I just don't know what to do, it's scary living like this.
Oh yeah about the setbacks.. I once cried cause I felt great for two days and then the next day I experienced symtoms of anxiety. So I cried when I came back home. Cried so hard cause I taught I'm finally ok. Know I know what I did was wrong. Now I can finally laugh. Not fully healed but I'm getting close. For you who are reading this, I love you. I really do. I'm crying rn while I'm typing this cause of love. So whatever you are dealing rn, I'm very sure u can overcome it. Man I wish I can give you a hug rn.
I need a hug 😢

Thank you so much, Shaan.
I started experiencing massive panic attacks a few weeks back after experiencing intense stress at work for a long time, and I am currently in the process of accepting the symptoms that anxiety is causing and pushing myself to go out and continue to do my day-to-day things while the anxiety symptoms are there. This video has given me hope that I’m moving in the right direction.
Again, thank you so much.
Your experience with panic attacks and work-related stress is something many can relate to. Accepting anxiety symptoms and continuing with daily activities despite them is a powerful approach. It’s about reclaiming your life from anxiety's grip and moving forward despite the fear. Your journey illustrates that while anxiety can be debilitating, taking small steps towards normalcy can lead to significant progress. Your message of hope and perseverance is inspiring, showing that even amidst intense stress, there is a way forward.
I hope you are feeling better these days.
The best description I’ve ever heard. Purely excellent. Thank you.
you can start listening to relaxing sounds
You are doin a great job shaan, for us who cannot afford treatment god bless you.
My symptoms is muscle cramps every time panicking, all my lab test is perfect, I love listening to you. From now on I will ignore it ❤
I started hiking, trekking and visiting small mountains and hills, even challenged myself to climb some difficult small mountains (not recommended) to face and fight my fear, started playing sports (cricket) and that's how I got rid atleast 80% of severe panic attacks. And still I'm an introvert, highly sensitive person with a little of social anxiety but I'm so happy that I got rid of those scary panic attacks. Now I'm planning to work 8-10 hours a day, to exersise (breathing and stretching exercises, running etc.) at most 2 hours a day (1 hours in morning and 30-60 minutes in evening) and to eliminate digital screen time before going to bed.
I’m scared to…even though they say I’m A-okay medically, it feels wrong when my heart goes crazy 😢

You got this my guy, I'm working hard too. I'm very healthy, and anxiety is a liar. Know that anxiety is lying to you, you are healthy and strong, flex your muscles, look at yourself in the mirror, look at how perfectly fine you are in the mirror. And give yourself a wink, cuz you got this.

oh damn...My 12 years relationship ended 2 months ago. After she left and i understood i am alone now, my world collapsed. i have always been skinny and i lost my appetite. have been lost a lot of weight (15 lbs).., self confident went down. scared about future, stressing, anxiety, overthinking everything. what, how, if, when etc... I cant find the joy of things i used to. Feeling like i lost ME with the breakup and just being STUCK. basicly a walking ghost who has no destination.
I think one of the big triggers to these is the thought of my ex being happily with some1 else while i struggle and this thought is very very very often in my head. Its just so hard not to think about her...
I have done small walkings outside, breathing techniques, meditation, tapping. Going gym actively to gain my weight lost back and constantly thinking about forcing myself to EAT. still just losing weight and stressing about it. Asking my self "WHY I DONT HEAL, HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO TAKE"
been watching your videos now like 3 hours and i think something clicked in my head. Now i realise I have tried to fix it by forcing these things and HOPE it will do it. That leading to deeper hole cause i dont see the results witch just give me more stress and anxiety.
Instead just understand the cause of these and just let it be and figure it self out. Not by FORCING or OVERTHINKING about it. accept it.
I just ate without worrying over it, my stomach didnt feel twisted. i went to a walk with a thought "this wont fix it but makes me feel good" and it felt GREAT!. and same with the other techniques.
Its just your body mechanic and survival instinct.
Your mind will make you sick if you let it take over you and you keep feeding it.
I know this is not going to be easy, but i found a little bit of peace in my head already!
Thank you Shaan!
I feel you bro, I have exactly the same issue... don't fight it, go on with your life. Eventually it ends and you'll be back on track ;) good luck and all the best!
When your system calms down, you start to gain weight.
Your story of heartbreak and subsequent struggles is deeply moving. The weight loss, anxiety, and loss of self you describe are common responses to significant emotional trauma. Realizing that forcing yourself to heal isn’t effective and instead focusing on acceptance and understanding is a crucial breakthrough. Your newfound peace in small actions and the shift in mindset towards self-compassion and patience are powerful steps towards recovery. Your journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of allowing yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.
Get strong
Good for you❤
You have no idea how much you just helped me thank you man.

Thank you. It is definitely going to be a learning curve for me. Thank you so very much. I pray this works.
I have health anxiety. This makes me really really down. Everytime a small part of my body pains I assume it’s a serious illness. To make matters worse, lately I think everyone around me has an illness and that would make me get that sickness too. I really don’t know what to do anymore
Listen to the doctors! They need your money. Go to them and do whatever they say.
Also, wear three masks and get a mystery jab from the friendly government health officials.
This video came to me at the perfect moment. As you all heard from him, you have to consciously know your step to response to anxiety and not to avoid it. Today, I just came out of anxiety (though I didn't know how) and I feared that I will go anxious again. I searched and found this video and I was really surprised that I did every step he mentioned. This makes me sure that I was doing the right thing and it lift a HUGE WEIGHT off my head. Thank you Shaan for this great video.
The ALARM method really works. I was starting to make improvements. I had a set back so I’m not there again yet. But I know I can get there again, I know it’s possible.
Keep going!

Probably the best video regarding anxiety recovery and symptoms ive ever seen in my 6 years of anxiety issue. Great job, Shaan❤
Everything that you told made sense (Especially the 5Fs)
Fantastic vid. I got acute anxiety because of exposure to radiation and 1 supplement helped tremendously!! Spermadine which comes from from the oil kernal of wheat germ or brown rice. Proven at a high level to repair and harmonize DNA, Mitochondria and nervous system. The liquid extract ones seemed to work the best.
This was very helpful. As someone recovering from a mind-body illness (CFS), responding well to symptoms and dealing with anxiety is key. Its always good to hear similar principles from other sources. I also believe that we can start discovering our authentic self and live our life according to our values at the beginning. It makes it so much easier to separate our true self identity from the protective patterns (anxiety is a part playing on repeat) so we don't keep associating ourselves with it or allow it to dominate our life.
Do you have hypomobility had CFS fybromyalgia symptoms years
Just started going through this a few days ago. I have never been through this before, definitely very scary. I had a major attack a few days ago and when i went to the ER my blood pressure was 188/104. Felt like i was having a heart attack. End result after 3 ER visits, 3 ekg's, a CT scan of my brain and body, multiple blood work was that i am extremely healthy. Knowing that upsets me more due to the fact that they cannot find a problem.
I started having the same exact experience 3 weeks ago. I am an athlete, 33 year old female who has NEVER had these symptoms before in my life. Literally had blood work, EKG’s, chest xrays, and ended up in the ER worrying it was my heart or health. Doctors told me I was very healthy and prescriped and anti anxiety for my nighttime anxiety. Refused to take that and supplemented instead with l theanine and magnesium. This has helped a bit, but honestly this video has helped me train my brain. It’s a work in progress. You are not alone. I never, ever ever thought I could feel this way.
@@teafortwolivemusic I know what you mean, I have not taken any of the prescribed meds. I am looking at it like I am in a chess game with my mind every day. So farvthis has been working for me.
I am 39.
You have to recognize anxiety for what it is, which is a bluff. It's your brain telling you something bad is going to happen if you do X, and the only way to show to yourself that it is indeed a bluff and a misfiring of your brain identifying something as a threat is to simply do the thing. Exposure therapy essentially. Also, every time you avoid the thing that is giving you anxiety (a job interview for example) you are essentially telling your subconscious brain, your anxiety, that it is a legitimate threat. And that just makes it worse.
This was incredibly informative and helpful. I realize I’ve fallen into a few of the “5 F” traps myself. Watching your video helped me reset my mindset and regain focus, which has been really calming. Thank you for sharing, and I’ll definitely use these steps whenever anxiety or panic attacks come up. 🙏🏾🙌🏾

But I don't feel anxious for just three minutes; what happens when it's the whole day? Dizziness, chest tightness, pain in my legs and arms, intense dizziness, and pressure in my head.

Go to the doctors. Propanolol helped take the edge of it with me. Shaking body all day, pains in body. Dizziness, head pressure, racing heart 24/7. Thinking the world is going to end. Least little noise had me on high alert. Body drained for months at a time. Go see the doctor.

Keep practicing. Keep going. Resist a little less today, Allow it a little more today. Just know it will pass and fade more and more
You have to keep going. Just remember you’ve been through this before and nothing happened. Embrace the uncertainty
Hi I’m currently going thru the same and , it calms down . How long have you been feeling like this ?
@@rubenmorante2757 for past couple of days. It will get better trough God's grace ❤️
@@4runnerManco thank you! ❤️
Omgeeee listening makes me wanna cry, this is all i feel now. And i feel like ALARM will help me very much. Im gonna start it today. Thank you sooo much!!! Dealing with anxiety or fear is so hard. Thank you soo much for making this videos.🙏🙏🙏
OMG you totally hit the nail on the head. Feel like you're talking about me personally.
Hi!
I wanted to say thank you for this video - your advice helped me get through a difficult episode of anxiety. My journey started with intense anxiety symptoms and constant fatigue that I couldn’t explain. Eventually, I found out I had a severe vitamin D deficiency and low B12. Initially, the improvement was gradual, but around the third week of supplementing B vitamins, I started to feel a real difference - both my anxiety and concentration improved significantly. I tested my vitamin D levels about a month after my B12 test, so I'm just beginning to see the effects of that supplementation, but I feel a little better each day.
If anyone is struggling with similar issues, I recommend checking your vitamin D and B12 levels. For me, discovering these deficiencies was a crucial part of my path to feeling better. You're not alone - it's worth investigating potential causes!
I want you all to know that i love you and i know you will survive this!
Your video just got me out of an anxiety attack
I have always been prone to anxiety. From the outside, I am very sociable, friendly and fun. If only people knew what I go through in the inside 😢 I have been having panick attacks even in the middle of the night when I am sleeping. My blood starts to boil with fear to the point I'm scared to leave my bed and stand up to check I am OK. What helps me are guided meditations but it is not a definite solution. I fear death, I fear being alive.. It's so overwhelming 😢 I don't know what to do 😢😢😢
Great video! Suffer from General Anxiety Disorder. Most recent episode started due to high stress and burnout about 8 weeks ago. Hardest thing as you say is accepting the symptoms. My main ones are tension headaches, intrusive thoughts and more recently insomnia. I'm a logical and problem solving person so always try to fix the system! Hard to accept it when it impacts your whole day.
I have been dealing with tension headaches for a couple months now and I am about to go crazy
I completely felt this comment. I’m also a logical and problem solving person too. I want to science out everything and make sure I understand it all. I never quite get there since anxiety creates random, non logical things to happen at times. And yes, very difficult to do when you are actually feeling these things in your body
Any update
Cant believe i participated in a match past competition in a big stadium ....me that can not go to public space or walk out....is like a miracle ....all thank to u shaan.....ur vedio is superb....
My anxiety really started after doing way too much mdma for the first time and since then ive related a lot of symptoms to "feeling high" now my fear has branched out into weed and since im always around it, im always convincing myself im high. I feel a lot of vertigo and nausea and ive been waking up feeling "high". thankfully ive been acknowledging that its my stomach and have been calmly getting through that at night. I do feel myself trusting that its all just anxiety more but i do need to be reminded sometimes, just like today.
I feel seeing this at 1:05AM is God saving me. Had a horrible episode just before the bed time and almost rushed to the ER if it wasn’t for my 13-year-old Golden Retriever who would’ve ended up alone at home the whole night which he had never been in his life
God the father, his son Jesus, and the holy Spirit love you. Jesus our Savior is trying to help you. Stay in the Bible and talk to Jesus. He WILL help you get over this. You are normal and loved. ❤❤❤❤
you have helped me sooo much with this video god bless you.
This video is amazing please continue your work! This really spoke to me.
Great Video! I love how you explain exactly what I have been doing. You are correct, it's ONE thing, not the many symptoms! Thank you for your knowledge!
Im having symptoms over 2 months Now I hope to learn n accept it n just move on
But I'm quite experience
Dissyness
Shortness of breath
Panic attack
Heart ricing
Numbness
Having trouble while sleep
This is a very big challenge for me hope to get better n over come it soon
Thank you so much. I had improved so much but at he moment dealing with so many challenges I've slipped a little I just had a panic attack. I was able to let it pass alhamdulillah. I prayed while feeling the panic accepting it there loving it to be there welcoming it and it reduced a great deal. We have rent arrears the landlord wants to auction our household items, my mother got a heart attack and with that she is also going into depression and is having panic attacks. I have a toddler as well. May Allah give me the strength to hold on one more time so this too passes. Remember me in your prayers.
Thank you so much for posting this video; even my psychologist did not explain things to me like you did, and it will be extremely beneficial to me on my recovery journey.
aaaw
This is exactly like me. I tried all different blood test ,MRIs. They couldn’t find anything I’ve seen so many different specialist. They said everything is fine with you. Nothing wrong with you so I woke up today morning with heavy breathing feeling weak. I went to work I start feeling 4:30 cold sweat, this looks like more anxiety
I am taking anxiety medication once or twice a week. It helps.
Please advise what they said can do for last years struggling to find what’s wrong with me .

I think its fair to say most of us have oversensitized nervous system.. with the world news at our fingertips it can keep us in high alert.. give the internet a rest for 1 week, do you things you enjoy. Works wonders.
This is just the video I needed to hear. 5 weeks since my journey started. Thanks
Man this video makes sense. I had a health scare a month ago, (arm went numb, because of working for long hours on the laptop). But given my stupid health anxiety i thought i was having a stroke. Since then my sleep went for a six. I sleep timely but keep waking up at 4-5 am. (Managing 5-6 hrs of sleep but i feel tired) And my vision feels off. Not sure if anyone else faced anything similar and how did you beat it ? Im slowly getting better though its been over a month. But I think my nervous system is bery sensitive right now. Just scared honestly 😂😅.
Thanks that was a really relifing and clarifying Video ☺ and gave me a lot of hope.
This is the best video ever !
sure i also think so
This is whole summary is SO helpful - thank you!!
I was suffering my anxiety been 3 yrs now and i feel so anxious in everything, it’s like i am worrying my health because of my health issues before i got fatty liver, gallstones my cholestirol get high my triglycirides getting high but now everything is back to normal. So everytime when i feel not good in myself that’s the time my anxiety attack. Sometimes, i really cry and don’t know what to do. Like early in the morning i feel nervous and it’s started my palpitations and panic. Please give me some advice that it can help me, i don’t want to suffer like this. And I am so happy i found this video Mr. Shann it help me to think good. Thank you so much… I am from Philippines.
Go for a vipasana course once & see.❤
I can’t thank you enough for this video!! 🥹 I’ve been experiencing breathlessness, dizziness and palpitations. Got myself checked and doctors said nothing’s wrong and all my symptoms are probably anxiety induced and gave me Xanax. I just felt so helpless and frustrated with my symptoms. Your video really helped me feel so much better and less lonely in this journey. Thank you!
Awesome video, thank you !! Took me multiple videos to understand everything you’ve mentioned here in this one video here. Very clear explanation.
Thankyou so much Mr. Shaan,Im a Doctor and I listened Your panic attack coping mechanism. Its very true,factual and totally scientific, including the cause, nervous system involvement, and the coping methods. You are doing a wonderful work, you have helped a lot of people facing this event.
Hatsoff, you r a superhero for all stressed out people there
Thankyou again, keep up the good work 😊
Five hospitals two Gastro’s several ct scans x-rays and a ultra sound as well as a scope doen my neck and all the blood panels I was very angry to find out the dr’s told me it’s in my head . Panick attacks and labored breathing and ect . 8 years later I’m learning about anxiety .. it’s crazy at the symptoms of anxiety .
Yea anxiety makes your nervous system light up like a pin ball machine. It creates symptoms in parts of your body where you are actually totally fine. Just knowing this can help. Know that it is a symptom of anxiety, and then practice what the video says, ALARM- Acknowledge, "I am having a pain in my stomach, it is an anxiety symptom", Label it "Stomach flutters, or cramps" Accept it "I have these stomach cramps, they are here, and I feel them, I don't need to fight it, I don't need to fix it, I'm going to just let it stay here as long as it needs to, and let it pass when it does" Refocus "Ok now what was I doing, Oh, I was watching My show, or playing my game, I will refocus and pay attention to the show" Move on "I don't need to think about this any more because it has passed". Not being afraid of it coming back, because now you know how to handle it. Practice it again and again, and you will get less and less reoccurring symptoms.
There is also the therapy in a nutshell website, at the risk of this comment getting deleted they also have a thing on this website.
I have had anxiety for years why does it cycle why do people get it
@@ClaireClaire-c2p mine I believe now was trauma. I had a bad break up and lost a job and moved to a new city all in a few day plus was drinking really heavy back then . To be honest it was scary but I believe it saved my life . I’m still hurting years later with ibs but god is good .
Recovering from anxiety... i sometimes feel dpdr sometimes not when im engaged in a activity.. but my head feels like heavy and numb and do my eyes.. vision is weird sometimes and lights feel dull..outside environment seems off...anyone feeling similar symptoms
Yes
Yes I feel that , and does yours come with bad thoughts when your feeling like that , like you look around and life seems meaningless and weird
Yes
Yes!
Yes
For me it's heart racing and some trembling if I check e mails or empty my dish strainer I feel it start to subside, in other words I do something to distract myself
Thank you brother…i saw many videos yours finally understand what to doo
Awesome!
I get it while driving. It’s been a huge problem for me. I try so hard to keep driving but eventually it feels like my body is going into extreme fear or like I’m going to panic and it’s dangerous and I’m really scared of those feelings and then stop driving because everytime I drive it comes back. It’s like being on a rollercoaster .
Hugs
OK, so what about people that do live their life and just have crippling anxiety all the time or just miserable I have physical or symptoms of anxiety all the time but I feel like I mentally fine., I always push through, but I just want it to stop because I am always, and this heightened anxious alarmed mode everything I do and it’s exhausting.
Thank you so much for this video!! It is so so helpful 😊😊😊
I’ve been watching all the videos so exited decided to look at the blueprint and can’t believe it’s behind a pay wall 😢😢😢
Very helpful info......
Something that started as a joke,afraid of heights,many years,never confronted it,now as I get order,am reducing my movements especially driving downhill ect,almost refusing to drive myself,am 74yrs and my children have refused to assist,have to confront safely
Thanx much
Been taking propanolol for one day and I feel disappointed in myself tbh, I want to overcome all of this without medication but so far it’s helped me so much, I just fear about the side effects of weight gain e.g., but it’s stopped my heart pulpatations and shakes, I’ve got therapy 20th December so once I’ve started that I’m going to try and come of the meds and recover naturally 🙏🏼
Thank you for this formative video, I have been in CONSTANT Fight or Flight For 3 years now, I manage all my thoughts, I work everyday and drag my butt through life. I keep going and do not Focus on it, but the Elephant on my chest NEVER goes away. I have tried SO many modalities its ridiculous. I do not know what to do anymore!
Right now I’m in a dilemma. Having anxiety and went to my GP. He gave me medication. I’m really inclined to take it but don’t actually want to take it.
This was one of the best straightforward, explanations of anxiety thank you!
How do you get past the fact that you are afraid of passing out and all the physical sensations when there is some people that pass out when stressed/high emotional states?
I would try to accept the possibility that I might pass out to begin with and then try to figure out what to do about it if it happens.
I can relate to this comment. I experienced my first episode of passing out a month ago when I woke up abruptly at 2 am with my heart racing like a ran a marathon. I got up too fast and had tunnel vision and began panicking. I woke my husband up in terror and thankfully he held me up while I briefly passed out. Since then, the fear of that and heart palpitations in the middle of the night have put my on this new path of “anxiety.” Never in my 33 years have I experienced this, and I have been through horrible, horrible family situations involving my parents. L theanine and magnesium glycinate at night helps me relax, and cutting off ALL caffeine as well since then. This video gave me tremendous relief in identifying what I and feeling as simply Anxiety.
I am applying these things for my RA! Thank you 😊
What if side effect it insomnia? It is the worst when I have anxiety and it is so hard to not to fear and not think about it because I’m exhausted next day after whole night of not sleeping 😢
Me too I have been trying anxiety asmr and idk maybe I’ll try melatonin bc I still can’t sleep at night even the day after not sleeping properly like I’m not getting tired
acknowledge
Label 🏷️ the symptom
Accept
Refocus
Move on! Continue living your life
It's great to know what's going with panick, anxiety attacks. My first time experiencing this.
Very good video and great points about anxiety 😬 symptoms. Thank you 🙏
As someone who suffers with extreme severe anxiety I can totally relate to her. I would stop eating for days at a time as a punishment. I worry a lot about my life, everyone around me and pleasing everyone. It's absolutely crippling, so glad she got the help she needed, lovely young lady it's so sad that society has 1 in 3 people suffering mental health issues. I hope everyone seeks help
People need to realise that people with anxiety disorders have oversensitised nerves, it's not a simple case of manning up and getting over it.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about how mushrooms and psychedelics treats anxiety, but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, doctor Greg mushroom I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Please, how do I reach doctor Greg?
Is he on the internet?
Powerful stuff here! Thanks Shaan
