  • Since Nadiya Hussain won Bake Off in 2015 she’s rarely been off our screens. But behind the scenes Nadiya suffers from extreme anxiety and debilitating panic attacks, which she’s had since childhood. For decades, she has kept her anxiety a secret, ashamed to speak out.
    She’s never had a proper diagnosis but thinks she has an anxiety disorder, and with around 5 million people suffering from the condition in the UK, Nadiya is not alone.
    In this one-off documentary for BBC One, Nadiya sets out to find the cause of her anxiety, exploring the most effective, available treatments, whilst having therapy herself, in the hope of managing her anxiety.

    I suffer with anxiety and has ruined my life. They say don't let it control you but it is easier than done. I'm not suicidal but oh man does it feel nice to think that it will go away when I do. I'm envious of people who are normal and have fulfilling lives.

      @@inezamy9523 My initial reaction was the same, but unfortunately those littel pr*cks and c*nts that did the bullying might have been exposed to some similiar experience in their own home(?) environment, so if we want to hurt somebody, it is the bully in their life. But then it is an endless chain, really.
      Children in any generations should be aware, that they might just be the lucky ones, who are not bullied because of their skin or hair color, or any other features of theirs, but things can quickly change for the worse. I'm not saying to (experience) experiment with these perceptions in any environment with children, just make them aware, that for example a moving to a different culture can turn the tables, and bullies can easily become the bullied.

    I met this thing called panic attack 17 yrs ago and rather than avoiding and running away from it, i learned how to be friends with it. The moment i treated it as a friend, it visited me less and less. Its awful and i woudnt wish it on anyone, but I think without it, I wouldnt have realized and become the person I am now. One thing for sure is that it goes away and each time you overcome an attack it only strengthens you. Sending love to everyone who is going through this mental issue. ❤

    I have suffered a massive anxiety disorder for 5 years. As bad as it gets. What I have learned is that the problem all comes down to this quote by Carl Jung: "What we resist not only persists, but will grow in size." We create these fears that are unjustified by resisting/avoiding them. Every time we resist/avoid these fears they just become bigger and bigger and bigger inside of us. The solution for me was applying this quote: "What we embrace dissolves". I actually like this variation more: "What we befriend transcends". The more I resisted/avoided the bigger my fears got, the more I embraced/befriended the less the fear became.

Being still, being without purpose, any break from school like spring break, summer break, winter break, I'd have an issue. I'd feel listless and fall into depression, then have an issue the first few weeks of a new semester because my routine would change. so.... yeah, being in school feels less of an issue because you're busy. at least in my case.

    Thank you very much Nadiya for hopefully helping people understand more about anxiety in all its forms. I have suffered from it for decades. Mine was caused by an abusive childhood, one where I used to hide in the dog house for safety. That was not the norm in most people's house, but it was better than being beaten.

    I forgot to add this: I'm so sorry that you had to go through that bullying at school. I, too, was teased at one point in my adolescence but nothing like what you've been through. Can't imagine and it seems like anxiety and panic attacks are the only reasonable outcome from that horror. But, as I said, you've taken a step toward healing and freeing from your monster. Keep applying the techniques bit by bit. Don't feel setbacks as failure. You will get there. Sending you all the cheers and courage. You're so inspirational.

    have anxiety due to insomnia. I have to face in some nights. it has been affecting my life. I have to cancel beautiful pre-paid trips because I had panic attack just by sleeping in a hotel. I can't sleep in a same room with my husband, I can't go out at night because if i am not in my bed before 9 pm gives me anxiety.
    Watching this makes me feel that I am not alone in this dark side of the world. Big hugs for everyone !

    Thank you for this, Nadiya. I know it isn't easy opening up like this in front of the cameras, but as someone who has struggled with mental health since my pre-teens, it's important to have these conversations and chip away with all the prejudice and stigma. Sending you much love and light!

    I was first introduced to Nadya through her cooking/baking shows on Netflix I remember having a twinge of almost jealousy about how perfect and bright and beautiful her life appeared to be on the show. This brings so much humanity to the forefront I’m humbled and as a woman who has suffered with crippling anxiety in my late 20s and early 30s I can relate. I do feel as if I conquered panic attacks in the sense that I can still have them, but I understand when they are happening and find my way to the other side and survive through it. The author Claire Weeks really helped me I read her books and also listened to her audio books and broadcasts, they are a bit old fashioned but it really really helped me. You are such an inspiration to so many people and you make this world a better place. I really really hope you can not only conquer this but that you will thrive in life, your amazing and I know you are just at the beginning of your incredible life journey. Sending light and so much love.

    I'm so glad she shared this with us. I'm going through the same thing. I had no idea it was anxiety until I slowed down and started to pay attention to my mind and body. I ignored my anxiety for so long by keeping busy with other things, but now it's caught up to me in a way where it's affecting me from functioning. From this video I've learnt that I have to work on myself to control my anxiety. I need my me time. Nadiya is such a beautiful soul, beautiful person, and she's got such beautiful gorgeous eyes.

  • @kingfisher9553
    @kingfisher9553 2 года назад +2

    This was great. Thanks Nadiya. I am very anxious but hide it well. I used to be a world-class worrier, but I've gotten a lot better over the years. I also have CPTSD and PTSD and recently had an attack of PTSD which surprised and shocked me. It took me nearly a week to realize that what happened was PTSD related to a childhood trauma experienced more than 60 years ago. Once I had that realization the really, week-long, nearly unbearable anxiety dissipated. Still plenty of anxiety to deal with, but not on the level of that recent PTSD attack. I will say that CBTherapy should be approached with caution. Nadiya's doc seemed very good, but there are many truly unqualified people with certificates that say they are qualified in CBT. If you feel you are being manipulated . . . you may have met an unqualified person as CBT is also used by multi-level sales organizations and other charlatans.

    So glad she talks about this subject! I suffered from panic attacks because of trauma and I have gone past that. Since therapy I haven't had panic attacks for 4 years now. I'm so glad I went to therapy and worked it out. I really thougth I'd have to live with it for the rest of my life. I wish I had chosen to do it earlier, but at least going forward I'm free of it. It's really important to destigmatise it. Before I went to therapy I tried to "heal" myself by learning as much as I could about trauma. But even though I understood it in my head, I was missing that piece to understand it in my heart and really believe it. Believe that it wasn't my fault, that I didn't do anything to "attract" what happened to me, there was nothing I could've done. That I litereally couldn't speak, because panic stops the language centre in your brain. I was shouting in my head but I couldn't say anything. People told me "why didn't you just scream?" I understood that I literally couldn't. I understood more about the reasons why the perpetrator probably did it to me. All of that helped me so much. I learned things that help you get back into control when you're feeling a panic attack coming. I have never had to use them, thanks to therapy.

    Thank you Nadiya for your good work on telling your story. I had once big social anxiety and went to many psychological therapies. The last one was four years and ended now. I really see a difference. As well as I know some of my fears are not mine, I recon now there is a percent too of stuff from my parents and grandparents while I was raised. Hugs to you and thank you so much
    Never give up. Even now I am down at times but its normal. Its a living process - with all the tools I got from the therapy I am coping. At least letting the pain come and let it go later. xx
