Julia Kristina Counselling feeling paralyzed and not able to get things done. I remember a couple of job interviews I went on, and I completely froze at both of them. I couldn't seem to get my words out and the ones that did didn't make sense. LOL, it was so humiliating! It kind of traumatized me from doing interviews!
Hi Julia, I can relate to each of the 7... In particular 5, 6, & 7. On a daily basis I feel disconnected and have trouble with staying focused and often stuck. And the last one, I can totally relate...having a tidy house is comforting and makes me feel happy. When the outside world feels in dissarray, our personal space is like having a little retreat to relax and enjoy. So is there truth to "clean house clear mind" ?
My anxiety is horrible. I get nervous and embarrassed. I’m a mother, a wife and I’m feeling so overwhelmed and tired. It’s been heavy this week and now I worry it will happen everyday. I’m exhausted I just want to be free.
I get such a shaky voice when I speak in front of groups! It's really noticeable and terrible... It's hard to step up to do career building things/speaking engagements when I'm so noticeably scared!!
Sometimes I can’t remember things when I’m nervous and I stumble on my words. It’s like I have a temporary memory lapse....very frustrating. Also, I get a dry mouth when I’m speaking to a group😱
I over-analyze everything, especially social interactions, when I'm anxious! I get hyper-observant and then re-hash every detail. And I try to control things as much as I can.
Omg, I can relate to most of these! Another one that I experience is feeling the urge to poop at the most inopportune times. Whether I'm running late, or about to go into a job interview, or anything that I've got to be doing right then, the urge will come up!
I’m so glad I found someone who experiences this too !!

The great thing about youtube is that it proves exactly what you said: we are not alone. Sometimes we feel depressed, anxious, etc and cannot find pears in our immediate community. But through here we can find people from all over the world who are going through the same.
I do feel alone at times. One of my problems is that I question everything. It's so annoying. The pattern is this. I question myself, then the worrying comes, and anxiety follows. It brings me down so hard.
This video is freaking me out perfectionist constantly cleaning and making sure everything has a place. If I ask my daughter to do something and she doesn't do it in the steps I would I think it's not done correctly. Shaking having to pee all the time, controlling, having brain fog and also the feeling that I'm going nuts. I really hope i can over come this
I start crying when I’m anxious. Then when people ask if I’m ok it makes it worse. I lose all confidence in myself or what I’m trying to do and fear that it’s all going wrong.
Dear Julia there is another manifestation you did not mention.I have observed people with anxiety to do nonstop talking,and this is of course when other people are present.plz take good care of yourself,because I am a fan and follow you regularly.
I have a type of blindness when stressed. I'll be looking for something at work, can't find it to complete my assignment and someone else walks up and points it out......right in front of me!!!
I've been suffering from Panic Disorder since 2001. I'm new to Mindfulness, and I'm really glad that I found you! I've watched 3 of your videos so far, and I truly appreciate you putting this information out there! Thanks again! Dave
Hit the nail on the head! The insight really helps simplify and tame the self-blame and create some distance from the symptoms (it's not ME, it's just something that happens sometimes) especially lately, I've been worried about the occasional disassociations or losing sense of self. It can be REALLY scary.
Great video! I experience many of these. I have also noticed that when I'm feeling anxious I drop things and become quite clumsy. That's my sign to stop, be mindful and pay attention to the present moment.
I never used too feel anxious before. I used to be able too handle the run of the mill types of things. But since I've gone downhill I've lost my way and the small little things get to me now.
I used to have anxiety almost all the time, whenever I had to be around people I didn't know that well. This was for me, I do believe, to be social anxiety. People would often say to me, "Why are you so quiet?", and "you should open up and talk more." It just wasn't going to happen. Whenever I tried to be more social, as in going to events, meetings, & such, it would be hard for me to talk much due to my anxiety. Whenever I was in a social situation, the anxiety was just there. I couldn't just turn it off, or get rid of it no matter how much I wanted to. People have labeled me as shy my whole life, and it is not something I have ever wanted to be, but I can't help it because of the anxiety I had. This has pretty much ruined my whole life, since I've dealt with it most of my life. Starting from my earliest memories as a child, I remember being this way.
😭Me too it has been recking my life in so many ways it somed times makes me behave shy, nervous,silly and do stupid things 🤦 some people think am weird, negative even stupid and I know am not but they just don't understand what am going through.I get frighten easily, pee often,feel insecure, rejected,tense, muscle problem,forgetfulness ,tired, fatigue, problem concentrating , thinking more than 1 thought at the same time etc.🙆😭
You are an amazing person and you seem like an amazing councelor!As a victim of narcissist abuse i try to overcome my anxiety and i want you to know that someone to the other side of the Atlantic is so greatfull for your help!
For me, it’s excessive sweating, shaking, & overthinking to the extreme to where I’ll bite my nails, pick my skin, or chew the ends of my hair. Ohhh anxiety, how I despise you! You’re videos are so incredibly helpful, & by far one of the most helpful channels that focuses on mental illnesses. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻
This is a huge deal! While My anxiety has lessened a great deal these last few months, it’s reared it’s ugly head this past week. Thank you for sharing this!
I'm guessing part of the reason may be because you're doing big and amazing things Stefanie, and stepping up beyond the level of success you thought you were allowed to have. Know that YOU DESERVE EVERY bit of success that is coming to you. Without a doubt.
I have lived with generalized anxiety and panic attacks most of my life. At a very young age I had no idea why my heart would race and I would feel the need to run for help or that I was losing my mind being completely unaware of what these feelings were and why they were happening. Your videos have been so instrumental in understanding why and how my anxiety seems to be so much more troublesome that for other people. Thank you. I appreciate you and your videos so much.
I subscribed because my partner has depression but I just found myself nodding along at almost every point! Being frozen and over planning resonate particularly.
Someone recommended that I read the anxiety section of a self-help book, but I haven't done it yet. After listening to this video, I don't think I suffer from anxiety... but if anxiety will help me clean my house better, I may be willing to sign up!
I’m a senior in high school and I’ve dealt with the shaky voice. profuse sweating, and sever overthinking all through high school. It’s only gotten worse and it’s gotten more noticeable on the exterior. The Anxiety and depression has started breaking down my entire life. I wish i could control it or find a way to calm it.
So glad I found your videos. I over think, project, clamp down (tighten hands into fists). I can't think, I lose my train of thought. First panic attack Nov 2013, saw cardiologist thinking I was having heart problems, nope heart and cardio system in good working condition. Hyperfocus, yes! Make it stop! Anxiety is new to me began affecting me April 2017 again June 2017 when it almost destroyed me. My dad passed away in January, I spiraled. Finally recognized this past week. Thought maybe I was losing my mind, nope just struggling with anxiety.
Hi, I also can relate to many of these things as well that people have also commented on. The constant urge to urinate, is very annoying to say the least!! I also get the hot and cold sweats, dry mouth, nauseated, and feeling as if i'm almost depersonalized at times. Very hard to focus and concentrate on almost anything, even the most simplistic things, such as unloading and loading the dishwasher, doing laundry, and I find that I have to write "everything" down on paper, or "I will forget" it !! Very unsettling at times. Thanks for all who shared, as it gave me great insight to know that i'm not alone in this world with all of these "emotional" and "physical" things that happen in the body when hyper anxiety arises. Thanks everyone for all of the comments, as it has helped me a great deal!! Thank you to Julia Kristina for sharing this wonderful and insightful video.
Oh wow!! This is me in almost every way! The freeze and fight or flight is me 100%. Even in the smaller issues if I am feeling overwhelmed I tend to freeze and shut down like totally have to retreat from the world and hide until I can talk myself back to a level I can handle without totally losing it!!
This is REALLY frustrating - I definitely feel your pain on this one because there's so little that can be done - except no light grey t-shirts or blouses!
I have been complaining to my family for months about my eyes. My eyesight has been terrible. I wear glasses and it has been so bad it's almost like I'm not even wearing them. I was put on medication for depression and anxiety and my eyes are completely fine now. I had no idea that it could affect your eyesight. I have also been so foggy brained I couldn't put sentences together or get through a conversation without crying. Thank you so much for your videos they have been so helpful.
Hi Julia! Just want u and all to know I just found your wonderful, easy to understand talks. Helping my family a lot as well as myself which has been so hard in my life.
I can relate very well with the last 3. Sometimes it is quite debilitating. It would take way to much time and space to explain my situation here, besides I am trying to go get out in nature this afternoon so I can hopefully refuel and get more centered. Thank you for all that you do. It is helping me.
I"m human! LOL Glad you are talking about this. annoying things.. love that you choose this word to talk about anxiety. She sure can be annoying and take us places that can sure work us up! She can take on a life of her own can't she! She is such a.... dedicated to us ... soul! I find, she really doesn't like to get wet and so that is a beautiful way to connect with her and calm her down! Awesome video! Important to be out here. ~ Elizabeth
Wow, you are really nailing a lot of my triggers. I constantly overthink, even when I feel no anxiety. I also frequently have the "Mental Fog" but I also have Fibromyalgia, so that could be a combination symptom.
Hey Julie I think you so much for your videos! It did feel flawed and weird until I started listening to all the situations that you explaining I appreciate your Insight
Great video! Love the look in B&W and how your face pops in the screen. I find that when I speak in public and on stage, my hands shake. I don't normally suffer from anxiety, I didn't even know that was what was causing the hand shaking. Thanks for this!
Sweat yes , I get a bad tummy, overthink yes, i forget things like my PIN number etc then I panic more thinking I won't ever remember it again ,and I really over control .
I've always done overthinking and perfectionism and focusing on little things, and not feeling good enough, but in the last period it's like 100 times more powerful, and I feel stuck. I never thought that I have anxiety I just thought that I was feeling a bit nervous. My problem is that I feel so stuck and I can't talk to anyone about this, not even my husband, and I would like him to know what I'm going through. I often feel alone on this way.
I having anxiety I show all the signs but I know that anxiety is a problem that I have to manage / deal with or overcome but I also know that everyone out there has something wrong with them whether it be mentally or physically or psychologically everyone in the world has some kind of problem
I am only half way through the video, but I definitely have the sweat issue, and I thank you for pointing out that it could sometimes be anxiety related... It caused one of the worst Panic Attacks of my life.
Thanks Julia for your great tips on anxiety , I'm one of those who thought that I'm the only one who suffers with most of these simtoms of anxiety and for me this manifested in me suffering for years thinking that I was weird and I found out that I have social anxiety and I also would count in my head I would have to check the door lock several times or check the sockets and taps that I hadn't left the tap running it would be so exausting , but thank god I now know that I'm not alone in this god bless you for making a difference and helping people x 😀
You are SO not alone... or broken or weird - just struggling with anxiety which many do, and the good news is it's soft wired into the brain, not hardwired so can be re-wired with the proper help and support!
Oh, yeah, we're familiar with "stuck!" Sometimes, when you know what's causing it, you can talk yourself out of being stuck, but sometimes that doesn't even work... At that point, I know I need to walk away and come back to it. Great vid, thank you! Not on FB, but sounds like a nice group.
Thank you Julia! I'm a new subscriber. I have terrible anxiety which I'm getting help on. This video is spot on with the specifics that I am dealing with.
I've never faced anxiety while talking to a group of people.... Most of the times, I get really anxious at night when I go to bed... When I lie down every night its like a wave of thoughts just rushes through my brain and I start thinking about stuff worrying that something bad is going to happen in my life, emotionally or financially or physically.. The thoughts are so vivid and terrific that my heart starts pounding coz i get horribly scared.... I can't for nights cos of this. Although I am not sure if this is anxiety or something else coz most people are anxious when they are in crowd, while i get really nervous right before sleeping...
omg! Dead on!!! Especially with controlling my surroundings. Cleaning my house. I HAVE to do it and put everything in it’s place perfectly clean just to feel calm in my body.
I feel like I struggle with all of these almost everyday, even just the short 20 metre walk into my office and going past everyone makes me sweat like crazy
Hello mam, I can relate to almost everything you mentioned. I have terrible anxiety. I am 27 andI have lost precious years of my life to this illness. It's slowly consuming me. What should I do?
One time I was at school, and so nervous I completely forgot my lock combination, and I was late, then I had to go back to the office since my teacher had already marked me late,and that caused a lot of panic...
Hi Julia yes I can relate peeing wen my anxiety goes off, over thinking, and I'm doing a lot better with not being a perfectionis since I have been watching your videos, thank you for them, have a great week and take good care.
I deal with chronic anxiety. I definitely deal with the overthinking and brain fog. I have spoken to my nurse friend it’s like I’m seeing things in a weird perspective. Very dissociated. Back when I had mild anxiety I would micro focus and found cleaning as an escape.
I always try and straighten my beard or spend minutes in front of the minute to make sure it doesn't look messy. I like to take control back on my appearance when I'm anxious. I'm glad I'm not the only one with these weird traits
Hi Julia, I have chronic PTSD symptoms and anxiety and insomnia, many of things that you mentioned I struggle with periodically but! There's one thing that you mentioned in about the last couple of minutes of the video that really stood out to me which was needing to do something, and not able to get it done. I think afdressed that as being frozen, I experience that practically every day, but! I don't know what to do about it? I have things to do and want to get it done but I am able to do it, and I am not someone who just likes, or want to just sit around doing nothing. I keep telling myself that I need to do things that need to be done But never seem like I can get it done, and I absolutely feel like I am frozen or even sluggish and no energy to do things that need to be done.
These days as i realize the things i could have done in my 20's and i never did because of some repeated psychological traumas that happened to me during the past years which led me to the isolation(all these years i lived without friends and without love)i feel distressed.I am 30 years old now and i know that i'm not old and i want to live a complete life for now on but my anxiety still exist.Can you give me an advise?
I didn't go out tonight....because of Anxiety....so I was sifting through your anxiety videos....years of mental health issues it always comes back....phsychosis 5 or 6 times...it comes back when I get anxiety...my vision changes and I get delusions.....none of that stuff like walking ha it's the people staring at me I can't handle it...you even had me hanging upside down before....but meditation I'm learning...mindfulness meditation was the only thing (I was able to leave work and do this...family business) that used to work at it's worst...I'd go home lye on the floor cover my eyes and listen to tapes guiding me through a meditation and as though by magic it would go away sometimes in the 15 minute meditation.....otherwise like my last job it could last all day acute shake in fear anxiety until I went home and I'd do the above but just cover my eyes and listen to music and it would go away but not ever until I was alone...it's very hard.....I became a very good actor.....I didn't go out tonight I was supposed to be at an open mic performing my music....I used to go felling anxious and damn it to hell I'd go anyway and as I waited to perform it slowly went away...that fear...but I went and if I couldn't perform well I'd just leave no one cares.....I used to be scared to even go to the supermarket a lot of the time...people tell you your stupid but it's very real....so in my case it did get better...and oh your videos I think all that stuff does work for a lot of people...I need to excercise EVERY day or I feel anxious EVERY day but I do it in the mornings when I'm not anxious... you do things like that...I do do the breathing but it makes no difference to me unless I'm meditating etc and as I got to one of your first videos the message of "you got through it you can do it again" that woke me up a slight bit tonight because if you did that speech or whatever your scared of that trip to the dairy even ONCE WITH anxiety you know you can do it again because every time I've been scared sorry shitless and I've asked someone about it "I was having an anxiety attack the whole time???" they never noticed even if your voice wavers or your sweating people will probably just think it's a cute trait or something....anyway the things I wan't to do in life I'm going to have to just do it anyway if I was ever playing my own show etc you can't just cancel....and if it's a regular job which I do every day you just have to be nice to people don't bite their head off even if your just barely functioning most people are just barely functioning at EVERYTHING anyway....anyway I blabber to much and no one listenes to me and leaving these comment's always makes my anxiety much worse because I've overshared but there might be one person who finds it handy so I'll stop or I'll write a chapter by now take care out there....xxoo
Oh my I relate to so many of these, especially the 'nervous bladder' one. It's so frustrating. The first thing I do when I enter any building or home, is find out where the bathrooms are.
Hmm, after watching that I think my anxiety just went up, about having so traits that were covered. Heading over to check out the other videos, to resolve it. It's a recent malady and I'm reflecting on my contribution , in acquiring anxiety responses . Thank you for sharing this message, and the offerings you bring to the world . Blessings
I tend to overthink a lot. My experience is my mind tends to go into overtime especially when I get ready to settle in for the night and go to sleep at night.
Can you relate to any of these? If so, which one stood out most!
Julia Kristina Counselling feeling paralyzed and not able to get things done. I remember a couple of job interviews I went on, and I completely froze at both of them. I couldn't seem to get my words out and the ones that did didn't make sense. LOL, it was so humiliating! It kind of traumatized me from doing interviews!
Oh man Leslie - that is SO tough - those kinds of situations are so stressful!

And the last one, I can totally relate...having a tidy house is comforting and makes me feel happy.

I get such a shaky voice when I speak in front of groups! It's really noticeable and terrible... It's hard to step up to do career building things/speaking engagements when I'm so noticeably scared!!
My biggest anxiety issue is overthinking. ❤
I have to pull myself out of that one sometimes too!
Me to
Same
i suffer from that a lot
Yes I'm the same way overthinking and fear
Sometimes I can’t remember things when I’m nervous and I stumble on my words. It’s like I have a temporary memory lapse....very frustrating. Also, I get a dry mouth when I’m speaking to a group😱
sandramA heynemana Same, my memory is really bad and my brain is so slowed down now.
Yes, exactly.
Woah... Thought I was the only one
I over-analyze everything, especially social interactions, when I'm anxious! I get hyper-observant and then re-hash every detail. And I try to control things as much as I can.
Me too!
Omg, I can relate to most of these! Another one that I experience is feeling the urge to poop at the most inopportune times. Whether I'm running late, or about to go into a job interview, or anything that I've got to be doing right then, the urge will come up!
Leslie Yancey I get such a stomach ache ( nauseated ) that I feel like everyone can hear my stomach gurgling it’s so loud . Not a good feeling 😖
Yes! that one is brutal - and super annoying! Digestive system goes on hyperdrive.
Exactly the same here Leslie. First thing I thought when Julia mentioned peeing it was, that's what happens to me but with number 2 hahah
I’m so glad I found someone who experiences this too !!
The great thing about youtube is that it proves exactly what you said: we are not alone. Sometimes we feel depressed, anxious, etc and cannot find pears in our immediate community. But through here we can find people from all over the world who are going through the same.

We're so NOT alone in this! xo!
Right???
It's a fear of what has happened. I can't accept it happened! No, no, no, no, just take it away! That is the feeling for me.
I've been suffering from Panic Disorder since 2001. I'm new to Mindfulness, and I'm really glad that I found you! I've watched 3 of your videos so far, and I truly appreciate you putting this information out there! Thanks again!

Oh, good one Claire! Yeah, I get clumsy to when I'm stressed or anxious and fluttering around.
Very interesting. I can relate. Im going to test this the next time it happens. Thank you!

👍
Except for sweaty, I am your twin. 🌻
isn't anxiety just fear
Except 2 and 3 i too have everything
Yes I have these things
I subscribed because my partner has depression but I just found myself nodding along at almost every point! Being frozen and over planning resonate particularly.
Wow, so glad it connected with you Laura!

Is crying anywhere , anytime, without any reason and can't stop it is also anxiety attack?

That's amazing that you have such healthy and effective self-talk that you can access when you need it most Denise!
Can relate to all, but excessive peeing is most common and annoying!
Isn't it?? urgh.
Julia Kristina Counselling mine is talking to myself out lawd in public 😂🤣
I've had a bad 24 hours of anxiety and have been constantly peeing! Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Great talk. Now I know why I'm doing so much work on my garden, when I should be focused on my new business!
Yes! Sometimes we avoid things that are important to us out of fear of failure - isn't that fascinating?That brain of ours is seriously complex!
Sweating, overthinking and freezing. Not so much the shaky voice, but I get this involuntary gulp thing, it's really embarrassing and frustrating.
RandomUploads2017 yesss i hate the gulp aswell
I sweat profusely in social situations and have struggled with this for at least 50 yrs. Frustrating! Thanks for this great video.
This is REALLY frustrating - I definitely feel your pain on this one because there's so little that can be done - except no light grey t-shirts or blouses!
I have been complaining to my family for months about my eyes. My eyesight has been terrible. I wear glasses and it has been so bad it's almost like I'm not even wearing them.

Hi Julia! Just want u and all to know I just found your wonderful, easy to understand talks. Helping my family a lot as well as myself which has been so hard in my life.
I can relate to most of these, this information is so helpful . I am now understanding why I feel so unbalanced. Great video
I can relate very well with the last 3. Sometimes it is quite debilitating. It would take way to much time and space to explain my situation here, besides I am trying to go get out in nature this afternoon so I can hopefully refuel and get more centered. Thank you for all that you do. It is helping me.
Julia, such helpful information. Thank you for giving these a voice because it's so easy to slip into that "what's wrong with me?".
SO so grateful it connected Lisa! xo
Can totally relate ! Stuck and frozen sucks from fear of failure and perfectionism!
Over analyzing and overthinking are definitely my issues! Crazy how they control me to the point where I almost shut down....
I"m human! LOL Glad you are talking about this. annoying things.. love that you choose this word to talk about anxiety. She sure can be annoying and take us places that can sure work us up! She can take on a life of her own can't she! She is such a.... dedicated to us ... soul! I find, she really doesn't like to get wet and so that is a beautiful way to connect with her and calm her down! Awesome video! Important to be out here. ~ Elizabeth
Right? She can be a pest, can't she?? Thanks for sharing your insights Wild Woman Enchanted. xo
Wow, you are really nailing a lot of my triggers. I constantly overthink, even when I feel no anxiety. I also frequently have the "Mental Fog" but I also have Fibromyalgia, so that could be a combination symptom.
Julia - this is so powerful, and your work is needed by so many people!!
Thank you dear sweet Melanie - this means so much to me!
Hey Julie I think you so much for your videos! It did feel flawed and weird until I started listening to all the situations that you explaining I appreciate your Insight
Mental health is so important. Thank you!
Great video! Love the look in B&W and how your face pops in the screen. I find that when I speak in public and on stage, my hands shake. I don't normally suffer from anxiety, I didn't even know that was what was causing the hand shaking. Thanks for this!
It could also be the adrenaline from excitement! Because you know what they say, Anxiety is just Excitement without Fear or Judgement.
Thank you! I always had a problem feeling like I had to pee before a presentation or dealing with my in-laws and now I understand. Awesome!
Sweat yes , I get a bad tummy, overthink yes, i forget things like my PIN number etc then I panic more thinking I won't ever remember it again ,and I really over control .
I can definitely relate to some of these. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Julia. Thank you for this video. Overthinking is one of my problem areas, along with perfectionism. Thank you again :-)
THANK YOU Julia! This is incredible!
You are about the kindest. Thanks James, that really means A LOT!
I have anxiety in school and it’s the worst. I think everyone talks about me, I always feel ppl r saying my name. Anyone else? Great vid btw
Thank you Julia! This is so helpful, I can totally relate to these as I’ve experienced them myself.
So nice to know we're not alone, hey?
Julia Kristina Counselling yes absolutely! Because dealing with anxiety you feel alone at times.
I've always done overthinking and perfectionism and focusing on little things, and not feeling good enough, but in the last period it's like 100 times more powerful, and I feel stuck. I never thought that I have anxiety I just thought that I was feeling a bit nervous. My problem is that I feel so stuck and I can't talk to anyone about this, not even my husband, and I would like him to know what I'm going through. I often feel alone on this way.
Overthinking is mine. Once I get in to my head it is really hard to get out of it.
I get over think so bad I think I'll have stuck thoughts
I can relate to so many of these! Especially the need to control the little things
I having anxiety I show all the signs but I know that anxiety is a problem that I have to manage / deal with or overcome but I also know that everyone out there has something wrong with them whether it be mentally or physically or psychologically everyone in the world has some kind of problem
I can relate to some of those for sure. Thanks for shining a light on this issue.
I am only half way through the video, but I definitely have the sweat issue, and I thank you for pointing out that it could sometimes be anxiety related... It caused one of the worst Panic Attacks of my life.
Thanks Julia for your great tips on anxiety , I'm one of those who thought that I'm the only one who suffers with most of these simtoms of anxiety and for me this manifested in me suffering for years thinking that I was weird and I found out that I have social anxiety and I also would count in my head I would have to check the door lock several times or check the sockets and taps that I hadn't left the tap running it would be so exausting , but thank god I now know that I'm not alone in this god bless you for making a difference and helping people x 😀
You are SO not alone... or broken or weird - just struggling with anxiety which many do, and the good news is it's soft wired into the brain, not hardwired so can be re-wired with the proper help and support!
This is such great insight! I can relate to so much of what you’ve shared! Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to say so Tahira. So grateful it connected.
Love the insights in this video, thanks!
So glad it connected Wendy!
Oh, yeah, we're familiar with "stuck!" Sometimes, when you know what's causing it, you can talk yourself out of being stuck, but sometimes that doesn't even work... At that point, I know I need to walk away and come back to it. Great vid, thank you! Not on FB, but sounds like a nice group.
Love your session, I so relate to 90% . It is amazingly helpful.
Thank you Julia! I'm a new subscriber. I have terrible anxiety which I'm getting help on. This video is spot on with the specifics that I am dealing with.
Being frozen, not being able to do anything. I get sweaty hands afterwards
I can relate to most of them.... Oh my word... Thanks for your videos!
I've never faced anxiety while talking to a group of people.... Most of the times, I get really anxious at night when I go to bed... When I lie down every night its like a wave of thoughts just rushes through my brain and I start thinking about stuff worrying that something bad is going to happen in my life, emotionally or financially or physically.. The thoughts are so vivid and terrific that my heart starts pounding coz i get horribly scared.... I can't for nights cos of this. Although I am not sure if this is anxiety or something else coz most people are anxious when they are in crowd, while i get really nervous right before sleeping...
omg! Dead on!!! Especially with controlling my surroundings. Cleaning my house. I HAVE to do it and put everything in it’s place perfectly clean just to feel calm in my body.
I feel like I struggle with all of these almost everyday, even just the short 20 metre walk into my office and going past everyone makes me sweat like crazy
Hello mam, I can relate to almost everything you mentioned. I have terrible anxiety. I am 27 andI have lost precious years of my life to this illness. It's slowly consuming me. What should I do?
What about being unable to breathe or short if breath?
One time I was at school, and so nervous I completely forgot my lock combination, and I was late, then I had to go back to the office since my teacher had already marked me late,and that caused a lot of panic...
I am overcome with anxiety every morning when I wake up - for a minimum of an hour - every morning!! Ugh!
I over think to where i get stuck sometimes. Thanks for this helpful video.
Hi Julia yes I can relate peeing wen my anxiety goes off, over thinking, and I'm doing a lot better with not being a perfectionis since I have been watching your videos, thank you for them, have a great week and take good care.
This is such great information! I love all of your tips, they are so helpful. Thank you for sharing and putting this out there!
Sherry!! Thanks so much for taking the time to say so.
Yes, I can definitely relate. 💙💕💙
I deal with chronic anxiety. I definitely deal with the overthinking and brain fog. I have spoken to my nurse friend it’s like I’m seeing things in a weird perspective. Very dissociated. Back when I had mild anxiety I would micro focus and found cleaning as an escape.
Totally relatable! Thanks for this video :)
Absolutely my pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to say so Nancy.
I always try and straighten my beard or spend minutes in front of the minute to make sure it doesn't look messy. I like to take control back on my appearance when I'm anxious. I'm glad I'm not the only one with these weird traits
Hi Julia,
I have chronic PTSD symptoms and anxiety and insomnia, many of things that you mentioned I struggle with periodically but! There's one thing that you mentioned in about the last couple of minutes of the video that really stood out to me which was needing to do something, and not able to get it done. I think afdressed that as being frozen, I experience that practically every day, but! I don't know what to do about it?
I have things to do and want to get it done but I am able to do it, and I am not someone who just likes, or want to just sit around doing nothing.
I keep telling myself that I need to do things that need to be done
But never seem like I can get it done, and I absolutely feel like I am frozen or even sluggish and no energy to do things that need to be done.
Hi I double cheak if I locked doors. The door at dose not close during the spring time. I find myself double checking the if it's closed all the way.
Thank you your helping me alot while I'm in rehab god bless you
Love this video and all that you share 💗
Michelle! You are the BEST and I'm so glad it connected with you. xo
Over thinking. Foggy. Freezing. Thank you Julia - well said.
Professional level Checker and over thinker here !
These days as i realize the things i could have done in my 20's and i never did because of some repeated psychological traumas that happened to me during the past years which led me to the isolation(all these years i lived without friends and without love)i feel distressed.I am 30 years old now and i know that i'm not old and i want to live a complete life for now on but my anxiety still exist.Can you give me an advise?
Very relatable!! Thanks for a fabulous video.
Nikki - this means SO much to me! You are about the kindest.
Yes my anxiety is unreal😖
Yeah I look at things in the house allot didn't know that it was for control. Good thing to work on.
I didn't go out tonight....because of Anxiety....so I was sifting through your anxiety videos....years of mental health issues it always comes back....phsychosis 5 or 6 times...it comes back when I get anxiety...my vision changes and I get delusions.....none of that stuff like walking ha it's the people staring at me I can't handle it...you even had me hanging upside down before....but meditation I'm learning...mindfulness meditation was the only thing (I was able to leave work and do this...family business) that used to work at it's worst...I'd go home lye on the floor cover my eyes and listen to tapes guiding me through a meditation and as though by magic it would go away sometimes in the 15 minute meditation.....otherwise like my last job it could last all day acute shake in fear anxiety until I went home and I'd do the above but just cover my eyes and listen to music and it would go away but not ever until I was alone...it's very hard.....I became a very good actor.....I didn't go out tonight I was supposed to be at an open mic performing my music....I used to go felling anxious and damn it to hell I'd go anyway and as I waited to perform it slowly went away...that fear...but I went and if I couldn't perform well I'd just leave no one cares.....I used to be scared to even go to the supermarket a lot of the time...people tell you your stupid but it's very real....so in my case it did get better...and oh your videos I think all that stuff does work for a lot of people...I need to excercise EVERY day or I feel anxious EVERY day but I do it in the mornings when I'm not anxious... you do things like that...I do do the breathing but it makes no difference to me unless I'm meditating etc and as I got to one of your first videos the message of "you got through it you can do it again" that woke me up a slight bit tonight because if you did that speech or whatever your scared of that trip to the dairy even ONCE WITH anxiety you know you can do it again because every time I've been scared sorry shitless and I've asked someone about it "I was having an anxiety attack the whole time???" they never noticed even if your voice wavers or your sweating people will probably just think it's a cute trait or something....anyway the things I wan't to do in life I'm going to have to just do it anyway if I was ever playing my own show etc you can't just cancel....and if it's a regular job which I do every day you just have to be nice to people don't bite their head off even if your just barely functioning most people are just barely functioning at EVERYTHING anyway....anyway I blabber to much and no one listenes to me and leaving these comment's always makes my anxiety much worse because I've overshared but there might be one person who finds it handy so I'll stop or I'll write a chapter by now take care out there....xxoo
Oh my I relate to so many of these, especially the 'nervous bladder' one. It's so frustrating. The first thing I do when I enter any building or home, is find out where the bathrooms are.
You just answered a pressing question, thank you! Idk what I am going to do about it, but I feel better being able to identify it. ♥️🙏
Hmm, after watching that I think my anxiety just went up, about having so traits that were covered. Heading over to check out the other videos, to resolve it. It's a recent malady and I'm reflecting on my contribution , in acquiring anxiety responses .
Thank you for sharing this message, and the offerings you bring to the world .
Blessings
Frozen. Let it go, let it go...hmmm... Thanks for alternatives to doing the impossible. Practical help. Giant 🤗
I tend to overthink a lot. My experience is my mind tends to go into overtime especially when I get ready to settle in for the night and go to sleep at night.
overthinking and focusing on the little things. i can relate to one or more of these.
Thank you for your great videos!
