That’s me this morning. Lost my son five months ago he was only eight years old. I’m currently laying on the couch. I’m about to do everything you said. I’m going to get out and take a long walk.
I suffered from anxiety & depression for decades from trauma , brain injury , and adrenal hormonal imbalance . I was at a funeral today and I’m so proud of myself because my heart was racing I was sweating but I did positive self talk I calmed down and I was able to get through the funeral ! So proud of myself ! I’m correcting hormonal cortisol imbalances with diet rest and exercise . 54 years old and lost 50 pounds thank God !
Oh wow, I need this right now. I’m 62 and have to make huge decisions and feel out of control, I shake all the time. I feel as though I’m not going to make it after so many years of severe depression and anxiety that brings me to my knees. The talking to myself “Come on, you can do it” doesn’t work anymore. I walk every day and exercise but now I’m so in to my own head all the time, I can’t relax. Years of abuse, debilitating depressions and scared to death about what’s going to happen to me. I have to make big decisions and do everything as to not face anything. Can’t get away from thinking I’m too old, it’s too late, I’m a massive failure…debilitating.
I started a new career path that is commission based and every morning the anxiety is deliberating.. I've recently gotten more into watching your videos and implementing the 5 second rule in every situation that is uncomfortable, slowly but surely with your help I will find peace and learn how to control my emotions and life in a more positive and productive way. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone !!
I am almost 49 and have been caring for others, including my own mother, for most of my life. I am tired of caring for others with nothing in return. I am sad and exhausted.
Do you now feel really lonely, alone, confused, brain fog, forgetfulness ..& emptiness.. Did all ur friends and family leave or ghost u coz they don’t know how to Handle your pain.. rather than just being beside you or hug hold you.? Or is it just me.?
Mel , Thankyou is not a big enough word for you and your amazing soul! You have kept me going throughout these transitioning years , from domestic violence, depression, anxiety, familial abandonment and solely preparing three beautiful children for this world. I am so grateful for you. I am still a work in progress thanks to you I am starting to move through my life with your words in my ear any time of the day !
I am currently battling some of the hardest anxiety AND depression at this time in my life. It’s been soul crushing, I couldn’t have found this video at a more perfect time- I need this. Thank you 🥹
Thank you Mel. I really need these talks right now. I'm in a life transition, almost 60 and daughter moved away to college, nothing left here for me. Planning some big big changes but I struggle with chronic generalized anxiety. I'm afraid of it keeping me from making the move away from here and toward a wonderful life that's waiting for me on the other side of the state. Thank you Mel.
I am 70 yrs young and this my schedule everyday, however I do give myself a break if needed have chai tea with hazelnut 0 sugar creamer and be nice to myself, anxiety is always there but I am learning to tame it.I retired to take care of my hubby who passed 15 months ago and I'm entering a new chapter in life I'm excited but fearful.I appreciate your wonderful videos and it took me a while to figure out myself,but I'm healing.
I don't know if you will see this comment, but I want to tell you a) you are amazing! b) 3 days ago I quit a green habit that I was using as a coping mechanism and allowing me to be complacent with my wreck of a life, 2 days ago my doctor gave me medication which is actually starting to help (first time in 4 years), yesterday when I was driving in the car a radio podcast came on that I desperately needed to hear in order to help my depressed teen child and today, as I got in the car your TED talk on getting what you want, came on, and I am so endlessly grateful to G-d and you for being a warrior of light in the darkness. TBH my words can't do how I feel any justice. Thank you for existing and thank you for fighting! Love from Dev
Thank you. I'm at the beginning of this now and you may be saying the same thing later on but how I overcame anxiety and depression (often 2 sides of the same thing) was to learn to meditate and get present and then to engage the frequencies of the heart...there are different practices and ways to go about it but I love and use "Heart-Brain Coherence" and I can virtually guarantee if you do this practice as recommended in time your anxiety/depression will vanish to be replaced by the beautiful frequencies of the heart in elevated gratitude, appreciation and love. Namaste
hi Mel !!! thank you so much for your amazing video , I recently separated after 30 years and getting really anxious about how I am going to go on especially towards retirement , I watch you everyday trying to apply some of the knowledge not always easy but I am hanging in there
I love this Mel , I’m glad I found you ,, I often wondered where my anxiety came from and with your videos I realized it was from a terrible sexual experience that ended in disaster for me when I was a teenager it changed me fir ever I was never the same person after it it still haunts me today only I’m better at not blocking it out , I hated myself for a long time after and didn’t respect myself anymore I still struggle with saying I’m a good person I deserve respect, that’s really hard still and I’m 56 , I do have a loving husband and great kids but now I know where it started from and I’m still struggling with it so it’s great to listen to you as often as I can so thank you Mel xx
I find that my anxiety hits when I am sitting in my office chair. Perhaps getting up in that moment is what I need to do. I usually don't wake up anxious.
There is different levels of anxiety, I was a caregiver for my mother for 9 years, I would go months or years without a day off ! When I finally put her in a nursing facility I was literally shaking all over ! The first thing I would tell people is do things to counter your stressful situation ! Spend as much time outdoors as possible whether it is exercise or physical labor which is best do it. Do diaframic breathing meditation. Get massages, stay away from negative people and turn the news off ! Don't allow yourself to be overworked by anybody ! Lastly take 500 MG of gaba with taurine and b6, magnesium supplements can help greatly but check with your doctor ! Drink lots of water, no caffeine or soda and eat healthy, try to cut out sugar and white flour. Lastly keep your since of humor watch funny movies.
I just have to say that I have spolen to several professionals who agree with me that anxiety does not always start with a thought, a worry or evern in the brain. Sometimes anxiety is triggered by hormone imbalance and can wreak havoc on your body. Hence why doctors tend to prescribe psych meds for women in peri/ menopause. It could very well be high cortial or low progesterone or a thyroid issue.
so useful and so difficult to listen .I am going through loss of job and income...totally panicked and full of anxiety that i am working through.....hard stuff
It can happen like it did this last time night out in front of the gas station.... I literally had to force the breath... Or when the wind picked up too much
This is such great help.. thank you..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜 My request is if anyone could include the link of her video of worrying and anxiety video #13 I can’t narrow dow the video and would like to find that one..🙏🏼
Same here, it’s because your brain is trained to think that when your heart rate goes up it’s anxiety, because that’s what happened when you have a panic attack. What helped me is retraining my brain into thinking it’s not anxiety my heart is racing to help my anxiety. Kinda laugh at yourself once you feel that panic come and tell it this anxiety I can control because I’m creating it I have a hold over you not the other way around. Hope that helps
Hi Mel I got sleep problems I always thinking about when will I sleep every day I am thinking about sleep would I take pill for the sleep for long time

Did you have problems sleeping? Hair loss?
It’s amazing how we need things a different times in life, I needed this badly.

When I exercise, I get an adrenaline rush and when I get an adrenaline rush, I get an anxiety attack
Same here
@@ravynisbae the therapist told me to exercise but it makes me worse lol, so I dunno what to say really
Same with me…it’s crazy how my heart rate doesn’t come down for minutes… it’s a horrible feeling
Same here, it’s because your brain is trained to think that when your heart rate goes up it’s anxiety, because that’s what happened when you have a panic attack.

Hi Mel I got sleep problems I always thinking about when will I sleep every day I am thinking about sleep would I take pill for the sleep for long time
Mine is when I wake up , I got so much going on at the moment not sure how to start to finish . 😞
A lump on my neck would make me very nervous … My mom was negligent on a lump in her neck and listed to her doctor who said wait and see if it gets bigger and she had non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and died a few years later
Cold showers And magnesium
Question? When you’re treated unfairly, bullied, etc like by landlord. Other than anxiety and anger how can I respond better?
