I wish menopause was more normalised....my husband is in the medical business industry, and he brought to my attention it was a chemical imbalance and was completely normal. I ended up being put on a low dose of estrogen, and my panic attacks went away...also along with your best practices of exercise, brain dump, and I also spent time in prayer. Best wishes
YES YES YES on the anxiety/Panic Attacks/racing thoughts, spining everything out of control. All related to Peri menopause. I have come out of menopause to the other side, all natural, No HRT. Sometimes I thought I was going crazy. It does come to a stop. eventually
Most definitely menopause approaching causes this strange anxiety… it just appears out of nowhere… exercise is a must .. thank you for discussing this serious issue.❤
I experienced a similar situation three years ago at the age of 46. My hairdresser clued me in that I was starting peri menopause bc my hair had started falling out at a much greater rate. I had been having trouble staying asleep, waking up around 2/3 am and been on sleeping meds for a couple years prior to this. I then experienced (like a light switch going off) waking up in the middle of the night with panic/anxiety attacks. There was no reason for them. I got hit with depression the following month and then almost constant panic/anxiety the month after that. I ended up going on several different medications for depression and anxiety and also went to see my ob and was put on HRT. What a life saver! No one talks about anxiety and menopause and there are so many of us affected by it. I think you are doing such a wonderful thing by telling your story! Thank you! ❤
I’ve dealt with anxiety and panic attacks most of my life. My best advice that I wish I had know way back when is that it can be a response to not just our thoughts etc, but our body telling us something is off. Could be food sensitivities (gluten or dairy etc), hormones, vitamin deficiencies like magnesium or low vitamin D. It is a process but worth the effort. 😊
I struggle with anxiety and depression but find a routine and exercise every morning help me tremendously. On the rare occasions I’m not able to my anxiety is higher which helps me make it a priority. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi Marnie when you started your workout I recognized Paula be voice right away she is wonderful. I find that movement really helps my anxiety and by the way you look great!
I remember when I was in my 20s, I was going to college, I had 3 daughters, and a new house . I was not very creative, had lots of homework and my house was not decorated very well. I was about 25 and hadn't learned alot about making a house look really nice. My husband's friends from another state were coming to visit us who I had only met once before. They had two kids and the wife was very creative and had a beautiful house. I was so stressed, had homework and trying to make the house look better before they came. I started itching. My face, my entire body. I had worked myself into a body full of hives. Never had hives before that. I was a mess. I panic sometimes because I have asthma, and if something scares me or stresses me out, I have an asthma attack, then I panic. Thankfully it doesn't happen often.
Marnie, your story rings very true with me! I once had a psychiatrist tell me that once you have an anxiety inducing episode, you are more susceptible for it to happen, over and over again, sometimes increasingly. Your body kind of learns to respond this way to even the smallest thing. (unfortunately) 😑 thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this.❤
Oh no!!
I’m having that problem over the last couple of years was just terrible anxiety and worry about my daughter and son. I go to great lengths not to share that because I don’t want her afraid because I never went through life afraid but the world is changed in so many ways especially in our country and I just I’m not ignorant to it and sometimes I wish I was. Sometimes when you keep your mind busy so you don’t have to worry about these things and you try to stay busy thoughts and fears come to your head when your mine has time to focus because there’s not 1 million things going on. I feel ya
Loved the video, thankyou Marnie. I have suffered from depression and anxiety all my life. Our beautiful 25 year old daughter passed away two weeks ago and I am finding it very hard to cope. Your advice has really helped us.❤
Sorry for your loss.
My beautiful 22 year old passed away in 2013. I am so much better now. As time passes, you WILL heal. It just takes a long time. Be as good to yourself as you can, and feel your feelings. I am so sorry.
Loved this video! I feel you on the anxiety piece. What you were saying about knowing your thoughts are irrational, but unable to calm your body down is so relatable. I've never heard of the bodily fluids expellant, but the body does some bizarre things when it's in fight or flight. Sometimes, I would get the shake's, like my whole body would shiver uncontrollably. For me, I would then get anxiety because I was afraid I'd have an attack when I was alone or out and about somewhere. It's honestly an awful mind-game. I'm sure your doc will offer some great help once you get in
I had severe panic attacks in my 20s and 30s. They were frightening. I’ve had depression as well throughout my lifetime. I’m 74 now and I no longer have “attacks” but I am anxious all the time. I believe it’s just the way I’m wired and I’ve had to, more or less, learn to live with it. I do take an antidepressant, which also plays a role in control of anxiety, or so it says. Lexapro. It’s not a very peaceful way to live a life and I pray for anyone dealing with any type of anxiety disorder or depression, that means you too, Marnie. 🙏🙏🙏. Take good care of yourself. ❤️
Hi Marnie, your holiday decorations are so pretty! Walking daily helps me , the fresh air and sunshine is important for my well-being.
I've suffered from panic attacks for over 20 years. Typically mine come on suddenly and I can feel my heart race and I get a feeling of dread. Sometimes, I feel chest pain. I've been to the ER many times because of the chest pain and fortunately, no heart issues are ever found. So now, what I do is the 54321 method. 1. Focus on 5 things you can see. 2. Focus on 4 things you can touch. 3. Focus on 3 things you can hear. 2. Focus on 2 things you can smell. Lastly, 1. Focus on 1 thing you can taste. For whatever reason, this works for me. It helps me to refocus my thoughts and eases the panic attack. Wishing you well. I know how feeling anxious can really mess with your head.
I find that my panic attacks happen at all times for me. My heart starts racing, sweating for no reason and shaking. I don’t automatically gravitate toward medication. Took up walking in my neighborhood years ago, meditation in the morning and evening. Practice slow breathing is extremely helpful. And put myself into a certain mind set. And less social media for me. I love to garden and spend more time in nature.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this topic. It’s important to talk about this. So others with anxiety and or panic attacks to help others. Thank you 😊
I've been watching you for years and years, Marnie, and I have PTSD & agoraphobia. I am so sorry you are going through this and I think you are going about it the right way.
Small tip I've found helpful when a panic attack is at it's maximum is breathing in through your mouth and out through your nose. Causes your brain to focus for a moment and can help get you ahead of the anxiety.
Love the return to vlogs, they were my favorites! 💜
Oh, I am so sorry you are going through this. I have PTSD from some situations that happened to me while living in Venezuela, and often I wake up with panic attacks😢
Marnie, this was a great and insightful video. Anxiety is the absolute worst. I've had severe anxiety as far back as I can remember which would be about age 6. Through the years I've learned coping skills and it's gotten better. I was at your Miami Dadeland Mall presentation and you were AMAZING!! You exuded confidence and you were so much fun. The best thing I took away from that experience (besides meeting you, of course) was that my own anxiety was non-existent that day. I was living in the moment and that's the best we can all strive for ❤
Anxiety is HORRIFYING! Been dealing with it since I was 17 and I am now 44 almost 45. Sending hugs
I’m just seeing this a year later. I too suffer and have done for years without knowing what it was! I have had the same symptoms and they really ramped up pre-menopause. Happy to say I rarely have episodes now. For me personally, due to seasonal allergies and slight dairy sensitivity, I cut out most dairy and sugar and my symptoms have nearly disappeared. I wish you success and good health on your journey. Also- give yourself permission to say No to things 🙂
Marnie you are a precious person. I have never appreciated you as much as after listening to what you had gone through. Wishing you more healing than you ever thought possible. Lots of hugs and love!
Thank you!!
Started having panic/anxiety attacks at the age of 28. I am now 67 and still on medication. Never heard of your kind of attacks, but I know it's devastating for you. Mine feel like I'm having a heart attack and are very scary. No one understands how paralyzing this condition is to ones life unless they have experienced it themselves. I hope that you can overcome yours and wish you the best.
Hi Debbie, my own experience was so similar to yours, my father had passed away at the age of 53 when I was 26, a year later I had my first baby, I was also dealing with my mother, trying to give her a life without my father, That is when I had my first panic attack, I honestly thought I was dying, my doctor prescribed medication, I went on through the years to have more attacks, but when I myself recognized the oncoming symptoms and talked myself out of it (in my mind) also using breathing control, they slowly withdrew, I'm now 56 and can honestly say, there very rare now.
The things you said about your anxiety really resonated. I spent my whole life being confident, sure and knowing what I want and how to get it. After 40/45, it’s almost as if I feel like what you would feel as a younger person figuring it all out. I do not suffer from panic attacks l, never did, BUT after 45 I think I need to rethink and he educated in what anxiety is. Just because you don’t have debilitating attacks does not mean you don’t have anxiety, and have realized that certain thought patters and behaviors that I’ve observed in myself are anxiety - potentially. :) I thank you for sharing this, and people need to feel more comfortable and have more financial access to help when they need it.
I do the same exercise videos. Since I exercise after work, I don't dread them! She is calming, and the exercises are "do able"!
Hi Marnie - thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience w/anxiety. It is so common. I thought mine started w/pre-menopause, which was definitely a part of it. I was in my early 50’s, commuting for my job. It’s under control, a lot of which you mentioned worked; exercise, journaling (brain dump); prayer; simply taking restful mind time. Now on the other side of menopause, no hormones, & the lowest dose of medication when needed; as well as accepting it, has made a huge difference. Onward & upward in finding what works for you. ❤️
So sorry as about your anxiety issues. I agree with you about exercise helping anxiety.
I have experienced anxieties as well. Mine started around age 50.
When I'm in a state of panic, I can't remember names, cannot retain any info and have not been able to hear from time to time.
Sounds crazy but, I believe mine stems from something negative my mother said when I was a child.
Hope you get some relief!
Marnie I got you girl. One of the BEST pieces of advice I got about anxiety is rather than escalate and get anxious about an impending building attack, recognize it accept or sit with it and let it pass. So when you wake up in a panic you take some good deep breaths (breath work is essential for anxiety) and keep belly breathing with your hands on your belly. Hummmming also helps slow the breath.
Also beta blockers are fabulous. I take one once or twice a month as needed. Most public speakers know about this. It literally blocks your body going into anxiety mode but without ANY dopey side effects. I think you are such a bada$$ for just calling it what it is and that will also help you tremdously.
I highly recommend that you try to cut back on the CBN gummies. There’s no FDA regulation of the product and other parts of the cannabis plant could be found in them. There’s just not enough evidence of longtime safety for CBN and I would ask your healthcare provider about their opinion. Side effects of CBN are supposed to be ANTI-anxiety, but many times, a drug compound can start off with good effects but, as it builds up in your body, it can begin to have negative effects. Since you are finding great relief from them for your sleep, you will obviously need help through some other means if you are to stop taking the CBN. You may have to wean yourself slowly from it if that is the route you take.
Pahla B...love her! Thank you for sharing your experience, it will help others. I had no anxiety until I entered menopause. I find meditation and prayer helpful.
Marnie, I went thru years of mental health issues without knowing that was going on. During pre-menopause, I had an obg prescribe an anti anxiety med which went haywire. I was out of control. DO NOT LET ANY DOCTOR OTHER THAN A PSYCHIATRIST DIAGNOSE YOU, OR PRESCRIBE MEDS FOR YOU. No other doctor should be doing that. I’m not sure how or why it’s even legal. Turns out I was bipolar. I’ve been on the right meds for 20 years, teaming them from time to time, and I finally feel whole. Now, if there was just a pill to get my ass out of my recliner in the morning. Lol
Everyone has a piece of advice, so here is mine 😂 get on the treadmill for 25 minutes every morning, I walk 4 minutes & then do a extremely light jog for one minute until I get to 25 minutes. It gives me a dose of natural mental health support & makes me mentally more sharp for the rest of the day (so I think). I am not a fan of meds if I can help it. I am 51 & have had anxiety in the past.
Thank you for talking about this cause it takes the stigma away from other people talking about this. Love your videos
Hi Marnie, Thank you for this video. I absolutely love your Day in the life videos. I always say, if you can find something to make life easier, go for it. I am a little back tracking here. I fell behind on videos and need to go watch your q and a too. I like the banister too. I decorated the outside, tedious, went to turn them on last year, NOPE!! It isn't fun...lol. Even with out your lights on the banister is gorgeous. Your jammies are adorable!! Our weather is crazy too, my thermostat, I think, thinks I lost my mind. I don't count calories per say either, I do more of an intermittent, eat when I am hungry and stop when I am no longer hungry, I don't ever eat until I am full, but until I am satisfied, if that makes sense. Thank you for this very raw conversation Marnie, I am sure you are helping so many, including me. The lights at the end are still lovely.
Julieann
Hi Marnie, you’re so real and honest and I truly enjoy watching all your videos! Thank you for all your hard work. I wish you all health and happiness in this world.
Marnie, you are very down to earth and relatable. Thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety. I as well deal with it almost on a daily basis. I take medication and taking time enjoying my life as best I can has helped me. I know its easier said than done. I hope you find the help you need. Much love from Chicago!
Never had any idea of what anxiety really was or how it could effect me until 60. For me it’s definitely hormonal, Thank you Mother Nature. So sorry you’re experiencing this. Thanks for sharing Marnie😘
This video couldn't of come at a better time for me. I'm 53, just diagnosed with hypothyroidism, had my last period about 3 months ago, along with my first panic attack this week- it was horrifying. I ended up in the ER as I thought I might be having a heart attack. They assured me it was due to the changes in hormones, and that anxiety is a huge part of that change- yay! :( Just like you, I had a runny nose, shaking uncontrollably, nausea, sweating... just awful. I'm following up with my doctor, and hopeful this doesn't ever happen again, but if it does, I'll be better prepared. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps knowing we are not alone in our struggles.
I can absolutely relate to the anxiety caused by worrying about when the next panic/anxiety attack will happen.
I have suffered from anxiety in the past and yes it was hormones that set it off or lack thereof. I agree the way you are handling it is the best way until you get into a doctor's. I also found showers helped me tremendously. I am sorry you are dealing with that because it is not fun at all no matter the severity. The house looks lovely and reminded me I wanted to Thank you. You did a video a little while back and it was a chat of life-type events bringing up a not-so-nice time when you had a stalker but during that video, you mentioned A Mezuzah. I had never heard of that. Well, my mom passed away in August, and in clearing/cleaning out her cottage I found several on the windows and doorframes so I knew exactly what it was. I got a little smile out of it. She had recently become Jewish or at least said she had. It gave me a nice feeling to think that God's presence had been with her when I was not able to be there when she passed.
Hi Marnie, I’m 51 and experienced the same thing. It most definitely is triggered by menopause! My anxiety attacks were also at night, then insomnia. A therapist I watch on YT says write down your fears/worrie during the day, it does help. This has helped me
Exercise
Praying/meditation
Lexipro
Vitamin supplements
Talking with other women who are experiencing same issues
Melatonin for insomnia, not sleeping makes everything worse!
Good luck and God bless, thankfully menopause doesn’t last forever 😊
Mine started with menopause mostly in the evening but also in stressful situations during the day which is difficult when you have to rush to the toilet unexpectedly. I have found that being on the right hrt dose has helped a lot and I also take natural supplements when I feel a little panicky. I find I can usually nip it in the bud before it becomes a full blown panic attack now. Reducing life stress in general and being mindful of how stressed I am on a daily basis has also been helpful to me. Hope you find a resolution for yourself soon.
Thanks Vanessa!
Thank you for sharing your experience with anxiety. In 2018, I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. As a result, my hot flashes were horrible. My oncologist prescribed a low dose of an antidepressant. It did help the hot flashes, but I noticed I felt much calmer and less anxious. Even my husband noticed! I will stay on the medication even after my cancer treatment ends next year. It’s not for everyone, but has made a world of difference for me. I’ve also turned into a person with a planner and a to do list; they help me avoid racing thoughts in my head.
Have you ever listened to Dr. Mary Claire on RUclips? She is such a wealth of information on menopause. I heard her say that most women our age are given anti-anxiety type of medicines for increased anxiety in menopause, but she said that HRT is more effective for most women because it is related to a drop in hormones. I am finding that I have to educate myself because when I asked my doctor about several menopause-related issues at my annual exam and he totally blew me off. I will go in more prepared next year or I will find a new doctor. Hoping you find relief.
YES! I have anxiety now that I'm in perimenopause and my hormones have tanked. Also: interrupted sleep, brain fog and low energy. FWIW, I cut out most sugar and switched to a low-carb diet, and ALL of my symptoms disappeared. I sleep well, have tons of energy and can better manage stress, anxiety and whatever craziness life throws at me. I'm not selling or promoting anything; I'm just a longtime follower who wants to repay you for all the great advice you've given me over the years. Might be worth switching to a low-carb diet for a week and seeing if it helps. I felt better in only three days.
I remember when I was watching that video of you in Florida and the symptoms you were having, I said to myself at the time, it's anxiety. My anxiety started for me when I went off to college. They say it is often triggered by something major in your life. My anxiety plays out like yours, more physical symptoms, mainly GI issues. During my time in college, I felt like I had the stomach flu pretty much on a daily basis. I went to the campus hospital over the years and no one once suggested anxiety to me. It wasn't until I had graduated in 1992 and was watching the Leeza Gibbons talk show one morning and she had a panel of people on there talking about anxiety. I thought to myself, they are talking about me. I immediately started reading all I could about anxiety and trying to find a therapist. That was a task in and of itself in the pre-internet days. I went through a couple of therapists until I found one that was a good fit. I spent 9 years in therapy. I stayed that long because I really enjoyed it. I was even in group therapy and the people in the group were like family to me. You learn so much when you hear about other peoples issues. I discovered through that process that I had Anticipatory Anxiety. I learned many tools on how to cope. The anxiety will never go away, I just know how to handle it better. It isn't always fun having to "handle it." I am 53 years old and my anxiety isn't as bad as when I was younger. I know my triggers and thankfully I am often able to avoid them. However, when I can't avoid them, I am better equipped to handle them. If something major is going on, just having Xanax and anti-nausea medicine at the ready is comforting. Knowing I have it if needed is often enough. I had to take my son by myself to NY for him to have major surgery, so I got a fresh prescription for both medications, but never used them once. You do what you have to do to get through it. I am glad you are going to seek out therapy. I hope you find a good therapist or Psychiatrist to work with. Thanks for sharing. I know it isn't always easy to talk about the subject. Often people don't understand. There is nothing worse than hearing someone say "get over it." If it were only that easy:) Take care.
Thanks so much for talking about anxiety and your experience! I too, had really no problems or "attacks " until I was 56 (I'm 58 now).
I had physical symptoms like arms and legs going numb, back pain, pressure in chest, etc. I thought I had heart issues! After numerous doctor appointments, tests etc, I started seeing a therapist and started taking sertraline and those symptoms went away. I now also have techniques to help me when I am feeling anxious and am able to minimize any issues. Best of luck to you! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Marnie, I too once had an anxiety attack where I felt that I was going to vomit, have diarrhea, and have a heart attack all at the same time. It happened just before one of my qualifying exams during grad school. None of those bodily functions happened, and my nose didn't run profusely, but what an experience! I love that you stated that you never got them when you were younger, but get them now. I am 56 and the same thing is happening! Thanks much for sharing - this makes me think that it isn't just me!
I suffer from hideous anxiety. Definitely worse with menopause. Exercise is great but a psychologist I saw also taught me breathing for it. Also I love your Hanukkah decorations. Menorahs are so striking.
With me, these things happen when I have _any_ moment of downtime. I wake up at 4 and I’m on my feet working and helping people and doing my things and going through to do lists and then internships and volunteering until midnight. Is it healthy? Not in the slightest. But doing all that keeps my mind and body occupied. Even an hour of unallocated time is _suffocating_ . I’ve tried therapy and psychiatry and outpatient services and medication over the years 😂 the whole enchilada, and nothing works except literally working myself to exhaustion. I don’t even remember when it started
Good for you, Marnie, for seeking professional help to figure out what's causing your episodes. I was absolutely shocked when I had panic attacks decades ago but got the help I needed. I hope your video encourages anyone having difficulty seeks help. Let's end the stigma. XXOO ❤️
Yep. Racing thoughts, cold sweat, diarrhea, shaking. Feeling like you need to run, it's awful.
Hi Marnie, I'm sorry that you are having to deal with anxiety. I can tell you that I became more anxious around the time I turned 48 (I'm 54 now). The first time that I had a panic attack I was in Ireland and we were visiting the Blarney Castle. I felt like the walls were closing in on me and to this day, I have no idea what prompted this! I totally believe that it has something to do with perimenopause and hormones. I have went through some difficult things in my life and never had an issue with anxiety previously. I do hope that you have found a professional that you are comfortable talking to and that they offer you some relief. Your home decor is very nice and your makeup is beautiful as always! Have a great weekend. We have snow already! UGH...I'll trade you some cool weather for some of your heat! 😆
"Therapy in a nutshell" on you Tube is very helpful to me...
I jokingly call menopause "men'll pause" (before speaking to you.) 😄 It has absolutely messed with my emotions, not to mention my body. I am very wary of taking HRT because my aunt had breast cancer twice due to being on it for 10 years. I'm using a combination of therapy, prayer, citalopram, and fresh air to cope, but it's no picnic! Hang in there.
Your decorations are beautiful! ❤️
As someone that has been suffering anxiety/panic attacks since I was 8 yrs old, I will tell you that the best decision you are making is seeking helping. My attacks led to depression (MDD). I’m now disabled because I refused any type of medication until it was too far gone. The stigma about have a mental illness was not one that I could face at the time. Peri-menopause and menopause did a make it worse. Thank you for being so open and honest with us. I look forward to your vlogs all the time! Happy Holidays 😊
Marnie, sending you prayers and wishes that you find the right physician to help you find a path to healing your health issue. And happy happy Hanukkah! 💕~Janis
Thank you so much Janis!
I know what you're talking about because I'm going through it. I understand that it is the menopause, hormonal changes that make us feel anxiety, panic attacks, tachycardia, sweating and the desire to cry. Exercise helps a lot, eat healthy and meditate.
Thank you Marnie for this vlog because my friend and I also experienced panic attacks while we were going through menopause , and thankfully were able to talk to each other about it. Her’s actually would start at night and have this weird dizzy feeling come over her and when she’d go to tell her husband some where else in the house , she’d faint!! Mine would happen as I was falling asleep I’d get jolted awake with my heart pounding in my chest and I would do breathing techniques to calm myself down. Our OBGYN’s told us it was from menopause!
Ok I can’t even begin to say I relate-you know already and yes….BUT what I would like to say is I’m so very proud of you for sharing this…because it’s humbling and not easy. Love you (and Michael) so very much.
You're the best! ❤️
Mine started in peri menopause. They are terrible. At or after sundown is also common.
It is totally freaky. And you feel terrible that you can’t control your mind and body.
And it’s awful that nobody can console or help. At least for me.
Sundown is horrible for me too
I have lived with anxiety since perimenopause. Breathing techniques, lavender and music have helped me. I talk with a therapist and see a functional doctor. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you the best!!!
So sorry to hear about your anxiety but you’re not alone. Anxiety is never rational which is the worst part. Sometime it happens for me out of nowhere and for seemingly no reason. My therapist helped me understand that sometimes my body is just used to “panicking” and so it just does it out of habit. My anxiety is worse in the evening as well. It helps me to have a nighttime routine. I can quiet my mind and body and get ready to sleep peacefully. Hope you’re able to find some relief!
Great book is menopause bootcamp. Great suggestions for questions to ask your doctor and different ways to address situations.
Thanks for the tip!
Wow! Talk about a DAY! Thanks for all your transparency, Marnie! Glad you and Michael still got to out for a good bite to eat. You always look beautiful! Your home looks beautiful for the holiday!
enjoyed this vlog! appreciate your honesty talking about anxiety, as so many of us manage it on different levels..love to hear a follow up on how you handled yours as long as your comfortable talking about it.
I love Pahula B. I just pre-ordered her new book. I need exercise for the mental health benefits. Helps so much to get out of my head
Great chat on anxiety! Thank you. I had anxiety as a kid/young adult, but called it "funeral stomach", I sometimes still do LOL. It became a bigger issue when I went thru menopause (unplanned surgically induced hysterectomy brought on immediate menopause). My symptoms were/are different. Yes exercise helps me as well as deep breathing techniques and meditation. And there's no shame if you and your doc decide to try some 'as needed' meds. It helps me. Two things I've learned which you probably know:
(1) The build up and FEAR of HAVING an AA is usually worse than the AA itself.
(2) Whatever it is that you think "triggers" the AA probably isn't what's going to 'get' you. It's the not so tragic things along the way. IE, you worry about something bad (poo poo) happening to one of your boys and maybe obsess a bit about that worse case scenario. When in fact it never happens (thank G-d), and the things that get you are the day to day issues, skinned knees, will they getvonto college? their broken hearts, seeing then struggle. 💔
I get them less now. Everyones triggers and symptoms are different. I never really spoke much about it. I feel like since Covid, it's become more of a thing. I wish that our medical community was better equipped to deal with the rising cases, I feel like people are falling thru the cracks. Oops, that more anxiety 😅. Have a good day.
Very common with peri/menopause, that’s good … talk yourself down and look up strategies for calming the nervous system.
Yup, exercise, calming teas, specific yoga moves, hydration, nature… oils, journal :)
This was such a great video . I enjoyed every minute . I also suffered from anxiety for years . The doctors put me on Xanax , which worked but made me so very tired . Then fibromyalgia came along and I was put on an antidepressant for that . Can’t explain it but panic attacks stopped and very beneficial for fibromyalgia . Please continue with makeup videos also . I find them fun and relaxing . Also instructional . Great job Marnie !
I experienced these same late night anxiety issues. It was very scary and I did get medicine for a brief time…. Side effect weight gain. I finally found exercise and addressed all things that caused the stress. That helped some but they still occur at times. I love the brain dump idea!
Hey Marnie, I have had the anxiety attacks like you are talking about because I have PTSD. It is truly an autonomic response. I do take prescription Trazedone at night at that helps but I found something specific that is non addictive and natural to help and I take it at night. I ran out and could tell it was working well so I never run out again. On Amazon, it's called Liposomal GABA with L-theonine. There are other GABA supplements but they are powder and capsules and do not work. Liposomal (and the brand is Chribubble, is the only liquid softgel in the higher amount that really gets to the blood brain barrier. You can take one before you go to bed or when you start feeling the attack. Very effective natural way that works until your appt with your doctor at least. Take care!
Thank you for sharing your anxiety story. I struggle most days with a general sense of unease that can sometimes build to almost a panic level. Psychiatry has helped with medication that keeps my symptoms more manageable and talk therapy has helped by honing in on the why’s and recognizing if they are worthy of such an intense response.
OMG, you guys have a West Highland Terrier. Buckley is my 4th. Ran across your channel when you reviewed Jones Road and very much enjoy your take on things. Thank you for sharing on you tube…best, from Nashville.
We have TWO Westies! They are our 2nd and 3rd. Our first dog was also a Westie. They’re the best! So glad you found me!
Yay, westies! Mine, Finnie, could be a Walmart greeter.
Totally understand. Had to share. Think anxiety comes out in different ways for everyone. I sometimes get nervous anxiety that shows up as nausea when I go to a restaurant or social gathering with lots of people. I actually fainted one time which was so humiliating. My primary Dr suggested a low dose Lexapro (5mg)medication. Been on it for about a year & it seems to help. Still have anxiety somewhat but it seems more in control now. Please keep us posted-❤
Thanks for the recommendation of Pahla B. I can’t wait to watch some of her videos!
Marnie. My adult daughter has suffered from anxiety attacks since she was a child. Lately she finally stopped coffee. It has helped a little.
Thank you for being candid with your anxiety struggles. Totally agree with your experience (similar to mine) and what you do to alleviate. I am older than you- 55- but definitely going through menopause does a number on mental health. When I regularly walk... it gives a boost to my low dose anti depressant medication.. I get more out of walking mentally than any physical benefits. Getting good regular sleep also helps me SO much. I don't use your gummies but have my own and they are necessary. Love your channel and content. Thank you
Oh Marnie! Hugs! Prayers! And thank you for PaulaB recommendation- it’s snowy and icy here. I need to join you exercising. Exercise chews up stress hormones in the body. Lovely Hanukkah decor!❤
Your anxiety sounds exactly like my Covid. It lasted 3 days until it subsided a bit, but man, I feel for you to experience that so often!
Same Covid experience over here. It’s horrible!
You are not alone. ❤
Yes, I did have that happen twice without the runny nose. Happened when I was going through menopause. Never took any medicine and never had it happen again. If I had that happen every week, I would definitely take something for it.
Thanks for sharing!!
My anxiety strategy is to be grateful I live in this day and age. Imagine living back before heat/ac, without medical/dental care, enough food etc. It seems ridiculous but it put things in perspective. I also think to myself, why panic? You aren't on a plane (I hate flying), lost in the wild, floating in the ocean etc. I am 57 now and past "the change". It is a change for the good. The hormonal ups and downs during peri-menopause affect your whole body... GI tract, BP, heart palpitations etc.
Thank you for doing this! Your symptoms are very similar to mine. And bar 2 random times, mine have always come at night. Very scary the first time it happened!
Rowdy on the second floor 😂. Love him. Thanks for talking about anxiety!
Thank you for talking about anxiety openly. Same thing with me, no anxiety until in my forties. One thing that has helped me is I started meditating. The Headspace app is excellent. I hope you find what works for you.
Hi Marnie.You are an inspiration to me .I come from a different culture and the way you present yourself and your lifestyle is goals for me.I learnt so many things from your vlog whether it is living in moment, enjoying empty nesting ( i am a mom of 2 boys,13,7 years).Your fashion sense is goals. Kudos to you.Big Hugs 🤗.Stay strong.
I know how you feel I had a panic attack. After my hysterectomy I had some anxiety and depression. Medicine helped. ❤️
I have Complex PTSD so no stranger to anxiety attacks- paralyzing ones. I have woken up with what my doctor calls night terrors. People say “deep breathing”- not that simple. I do take medication. I’m sure you have like Insight Timer or Calm / they have night meditations. I’m Catholic and for me the app Hallow is wonderful. I’m sure they have one for your religion
Thank you for normalizing the experience of anxiety! I appreciate these videos lately. Thanks also for the one where you answered questions on your other video also. I’m going to be watching your videos more regularly because I feel you are a real, normal person. Congrats on your collaboration on Target- that must be exciting.
Hi Marnie 🌷 👋 yes, my son wakes up from a sound sleep in a full blown panic attack . I always think....how can that be cause your asleep ..but it happens . Thanks for sharing. Myra
I’m so sorry about your anxiety attacks. That is a horrible feeling. I’ve had them too. You’ll be fine.❤
Your Hanukah decorations are absolutely gorgeous. Love your menorah 🕎 collection. Hope you get the answers for your anxiety. I have suffered from it for over 30 years. Thankfully, the panic attacks have subsided.❄️
I loved this vlog!! Mental health is not considered important by the medical field in a general sort of way. The doctors are ready to throw a pill your way but haven't been given the resources to give you meditation, therapy, qigong, or eastern practice type help. I've only had one doctor that also does acupuncture and Eastern medicine practices that actually helped be with several anxiety and IBS issues. She is no lo ger in practice for Scripps. I'm now on Kaiser insurance which won't even help with menopause hormones. Thank you for sharing because I think the Pandemic created a whole other group of imbedded anxiety issues we have yet to uncover subconsciously. My sister has your middle of the night panic attacks. I feel for you. Frustrating when you don't know the root cause. Big hug !!!! I'll be thinking about you before I go to bed with a little prayer🥰
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this....as someone who is alllll the way into menopause, I can relate to some of what you shared!! The hot flashes and racing thoughts are my main issues. I will try the "brain dump" to see if that might reduce some of my anxiety.
Fun to hear you working out with Paula B - when RUclipsrs collide!! :)
Thanks for the video!! I have had several panic attacks the last few weeks, waling up in a cold sweat at 2 am, etc. and while I had actual reasons (cooking/planning for a spaghetti dinner at my daughter’s hs, serving breakfast two days later to the teachers at that school) it was crazy and reminded me of why I was so exhausted when I was teaching and trying to pull all this crap off. And then yesterday, I was on my way to the school when the orchestra teacher called and said my daughter was having a panic attack and was in the uniform room basically hiding. She has anxiety with loud noises and too many people (but she weirdly loves concerts but has to take proactive measures). So I checked her out of school, got her some hot tea from Starbucks and took her on a drive. Yep, just like when she was a baby. Window down 🥶 no talking, radio up. It’s one of the things that works for her. I plan to share your things with her and see if we can add them in. Oh, and thanks for the Silo info! My bday is coming up…😂 happy holidays to you and your family. ❤❤
You are a great mom!!
I so sorry. Lots of hugs and love. And take care
I never had ANY anxiety until my late 50s, I am 68 and it has gotten worse.of course I am under a lot of stress, caring for my elderly parents ( I live with them) and a few months ago, I started taking Ashwaganda gummies, get them from Amazon (they are not linked below😂) they have helped me immensely! I take 2 gummies a day per directions, and highly recommend them!
I’m 32 and have a 6 month old baby. I started having panic attacks at night over an irrational fear and finally found a medical therapist who specializes in anxiety & ocd. She helped me so much! My issue was related to mild ocd, getting fixated on a thought that I could not solve which would escalate. It only happened at night. Thank u for sharing your story. I always felt super embarrassed because I couldn’t control it.
I’m so glad you realized you needed help and got it!!
