I personally lived with anxiety, fighting it day by day, for over 10 years (age 10- 20). My health continued to get worse year by year although I was doing all the exposure (duh, I had to go to school everyday which was absolute hell. Even travelling because people assured me my symptoms would get better. They didnt.) I was under so much stress that I had to quit school, otherwise my organs might have given out. They already werent working properly any more. Damn let me tell you, I was exhausted to a point I cant even put it into words. I was in a reeaaallly bad place, mentally and physically. Every year I would find some solution to push trough, to as you say „win against my anxiety“. The self hatred grew only more and more as its been 10 YEARS and I still didnt overcome my anxiety and all the symptoms that came along. So of course I wouldve eventually lost the fight. I only see it now, also thanks to you, what the real solution would have been. Stop fighting against myself. Embrace my discomforting feelings. The healing treatment isnt out there, where I was looking for a decade, but within. Honestly, I was a child, so how the hell could I have known 😅 I dont blame myself for not realizing it earlier. So now after 2 years of stabilizing my body from my complete collapse, Im finally ready to live again. Work with all the pain and suffering Ive endured. For the first time ever, I am able to love every part of myself. The light and the shadow. I dont feel like Im beyond help anymore at all. Thank you for everything youve done
Oh...Lisa...thank you so much for sharing. The searching becomes a problem in and of itself - that's exactly what I experienced, too!! All the time I was searching for a way to fix myself, I just got worse. And you are right - you couldn't have known. I think in a lot of ways it's ingrained in us anyway, to move away from what feels uncomfortable, and to try and find a way to 'fix' it. Nature has figured out how to embrace change and uncertainty..its humans that haven't yet 😂 I so hope you keep me posted on your journey and what you discover about yourself. It's a wild ride when we start to go inwards!!! Sending you a lot of love, and cheering you on ❤️ Glad you have got your own back.
Great video. I struggle with agoraphobia, ocd, panic attacks, gad, depression and ARFID. My health issues exacerbate these issues. I really want to crush the stigma around talking about our struggles. Thank you for being part of that.
Omggg same my health has really made things get so much worse now I’m afaraid to go anywhere be around anyone because I can’t breathe so I’m like is this asthma / anxiety / blood clots
I'm going home from college for the weekend. It's about a 2 hour drive. And I'm taking a greyhound bus. Which is pretty scary to me. But I'm proud of myself. Wish me luck, it just pulled up!
Thank you for all your videos. You’ve helped me more than you’ll ever know! 🩷 been making great strides in my agoraphobia recovery these last couple months
As always thank you for these videos everything you say is spot on xx
Thank you Rachael!
