On point Shaan! Stage 3 / 4 in 3 months since I fell into the loop but this isn’t a race. The timeline doesn’t even matter. There will be setbacks. There will be days when symptoms will come on strong. I’m just really grateful I found your videos early on in my journey. I’ve watched so many and I think it’s your passion to help others fully recover is what sets your content apart 🔥 Eternally grateful for your mentorship 🖤 I’m a new person now 🧠✨
This is so true.. I have been struggling for a year with depersonalization I don't even remember what normal feels like, the world seems so foreign to me and scary at the same time...sigh but I'm gonna commit to your mentorship and whatever you have to say because Shaan, your content is the best I have seen so far...
I recovered and it takes time. The key is just go with the flow of how you feel, good or bad. Don’t fight or try to get rid of anything, let it all be there for as long as it wants. This shows your brain that you’re not scared of the symptoms and that’s when real change starts. Good luck everyone!
Can I still use my resources on those good and bad days? Like EFT, aromatherapy, therapy, legs up on the wall, somatic exercises and bilateral stimulation music.
@@ClemTigers281 Hi there, sorry never saw your reply. I never really used any of those things but I don’t see how they can hurt. As long as you don’t use them as a way to “avoid” anxiety it should be fine. You want to live as normal as you can and face anxiety head on. I used to meditate when I had it, and still do. Even when meditating I would let all the anxiety fly around in my head and not chase it away. Good Luck!
I got overwhelmed with worries couple of months back then all of a sudden my nerves was shattered, lights noise everything I couldn't handle. Got myself isolated with depression, then agoraphobia happened. Felt weak,dizzy fast heart beat. As soon as I realised the circle, I had to stop it. Started with a routine of walking my dog an HR a day. I feel uncomfortable if I put myself out there but it's just a feeling, you need to keep feeling uncomfortable to build new neaurotransmitters in your brain, new pathways. The more you put yourself out there the more resilient your becoming. It's just a feeling ❤ Godbless you all,
I feel vertigo and nausea type when this happens I will fall again if I go out of home or what will happens I’m trying but runs back to my bed as I feel that enough I have to go back that as well I don’t know not good English but hope you understand me
@@parcelmove3680 face your fears, nothing happens! So here are your options stay home or go out again. If you choose to go out i promise your life will change. You wont ever notice the change, but it does happen , also remember its about how u respond that shows how far youve gone not your symptom levels, be consistant and YOU WILL get back to normal, just focus on doing everything you want to do, not on what u feel you need to do
Started on the first stage, down to the last, it gets better I promise you! Just follow Shaan & everything he teaches, he knows what he’s talking about 🙏🏻
This is something I didn't realize when I was still in stage 3 while I was fighting my symptoms. Now I see the truth: I have to let them be and not let them get in the way of my happiness.
Something that really helped me overcome anxiety was a video i watched where the man said, everyone feels fear it’s natural but its your choice to be brave which means feeling fear and going through with whatever caused it anyways, that’s real bravery doing something that you’re afraid of, kind of like exposure therapy. As soon as i heard that something clicked inside me and slowly i started doing all the things i was afraid of and eventually these seemingly impossible things became easy... and overthinking went away. It didnt happen overnight but it happened.
The key isn't fighting your anxiety, it's to allow it to be there while you enjoy doing the things you love. If you allow it to be there and don't pay it too much mind, you desensitize yourself to it and eventually your mind will stop reacting this way to your triggers. This is how you overcome chronic anxiety.
@@User-qz9bo you gotta remind yourself that you aren’t going to go crazy and you have the power over your own mind. Remind yourself that you are in control and you can enjoy your life even if you experience these thoughts. When they do come, challenge them and reframe them by saying they aren’t true and you can live a happy life without fear.
I’m in the 3-4 stage right now. I am still experiencing a couple of symptoms but I have stopped trying to fight it and am choosing to live my life, do my hobbies, and hang out with people even if I still feel the symptoms. I have been dealing with this for about a month. It started because I overworked myself and burned out. It has been challenging but it has pushed me to incorporate things into my daily life that reduce stress and are beneficial for my health - like taking breaks, going for walks outside, cutting back on screen time, meditation, and learning to rest and to be ok with doing nothing. And I’m thankful that even though it has been hard, it is helping me to take better care of myself.
Anxiety doesn't go away it's a natural feeling it's responsible, for your flight or fight response and when your brain doesn't turn it off your stuck in constant anxiety and it sucks ass because my body and mind know what's wrong but I still struggle with it praying for you all...
Notes: Stage 1. Realise the problem/know its anxiety Stage 2. Acknowledge and accept your symptoms, stop resisting. Stage 3. Achive a neutral relationship with your symptoms, stop caring about them. (Hardest stage) Stage 4. Completely getting over anxiety and recovery, not letting any of it run your life. Essentially the goal with recovery is not having a goal, just letting go of your symptoms and unknowingly watch them fade away.
Man ive been having anxiety for 3 years. First year was back to back panic attacks every day. Literally lost 40lbs and thinking I'm going to die. First panic attack i was for sure thinking I'm dying and was even ok with it at that moment since it seemed like its happening. Eneded up passing out and fast forward medication has really helped and now my mindset has been strong so i rarely get anxiety. Sometimes it creeps up on or gives me symptoms but i just relax and breathe. The Quran relaxes me and being kind to my parents and wife makes me happy that if anything does happen i lived a life with love and that god has his plan. Death will just return men back to my lord. Be strong guys, it's hard, very hard. But it only strengthens you. The first time you overcome with your heart and mind. The door for recovery is now on the right track.
“They use accepting & allowing as a sophisticated way of avoiding anxiety.” You just put it perfectly!! I think the key like you said is changing our relationship with the symptoms. Avoiding the compulsions to fix it (whether that’s acceptance, seeking reassurance, or coping)
I'm going thru Hormonal Imbalance Anxiety, it comes & goes, some days are more harder than others especially the days before my menstrual cycle. I'm in treatment for my Hormonal Imbalance already & getting a hold of this situation very soon! I wanted to share because I know there's TONS of Women out there going thru this & not even DOCS know how to help us, I've had to do my own research & I've been able to manage it without medication, solely menopausal supplements. Thanks!
Well guess what? Prayer became hard for me with anxiety as I felt no different after praying and that upset me...I wanted to feel less anxiety and comfort but it didn't happen like I wanted....so I got frustrated.
Feels like I'm at every stage.. I live with it, I dealt with it, I accepted it! When it hits me I will always turn on "anxiety attack music" get fresh air and concentrate on the music slowly my heartbeats back to normal!
Every single time I struggle with setbacks I watch your videos. They help me every time :) Sometimes I think I‘m healed and I don‘t have symptoms for months. Then suddenly they come back and I don‘t know how to get out of it again. But your tips always help, we can all get out of this by just letting the symptoms be there :)
I find that when my nerves are hyper stimulated I get anxiety for no reason, I have been dealing with this for a month , I am recovering slowly, the first 2 weeks I could not sleep , I can finally sleep now , I am going to work even tho I am anxuios for no reason, i could be sitting watching tv and my brain is freaking out - almost like the world is ending . I get anxiety about anything, I know if I keep going on with my day and live with it , it will go away .
Wow you are truly brave I so admire your determination or dedication... it's not easy I find to keep on track and I often get nasty and want my feelings to change!!
The no sleep is hard, I done well for over a month getting back to normal ( 3-7 broken Hours a night but better than 0) then a course of antibiotics wiped those weeks out in a few days, last night freaking out over a 3rd night of no sleep and had to calm down using accupressure mat and controlled breathing. Which did eventually work. So hard to not think about sleep as I never get a feeling of tiredness anymore I just kind of nod off but wake up like I have never been asleep. (A year ago I would never of thought I would type words like these or even have any issues with sleep of anxiety) Burnout is a bitch
Ten second summary: 1) Trying to get rid of symptoms. 2) Accepting symptoms. 3) Actually accepting symptoms. 4) Doing other stuff. Two second data extraction: 1) Fight it. 2) Accept it. Reality check: Zoom out and see that this is actually the stages of grief all over again. Denial (I'm fine). Anger (why me, grr). Bargaining (this is the fight part). Depression (nothing works). Acceptance (it do be like that).
Wisdom! It all makes sense - though it's really hard. I have some chronic pain and I am at the beginning of state 2. I am praying not for delivery from the pain but for the grace to accept it so that I can stop hurting myself even more, needlessly. Thankfully, most of my pain is mild at this point or most of the time.
Its amazing how quickly you can progress through anxiety when you can relate and understand content. Enjoy the ride while you can, you'll learn so much about yourself, the limits and strengths you never knew you had, the resilience in the end.. some symptoms can be extremely debilitating, but its an exciting journey, if you look at this optimistically - it goes a long way on your healing journey. But solid work brother!
I have been between stage 3 and 4 for 2 years now and I agree, it is the hardest. Sometimes I still fall back into the hole of having a hard time to have a neutral relationship and to accept the symptom. I do not want to avoid it anymore, I want to accept my feelings.
Spot on! living my life thinking I can’t stand this, I want this gone - then realizing it was the ‘I can’t stand this, I want this gone’ that is the anxiety disorder - its not a separate thing, the moment i realised this i was like ‘holllllllly fuuuuuuck’ i see it clearly now. It was like bang, this is what i need to work on, not managing, not coping or putting up with it. That was the day my real recovery started 😄
Wait.. this is what’s happening to me. Every time I go out all I think about is how im anxious and how I feel hopeless and how I’ll never get better. How did you get past this
@@kyliemartinez1507 Well - the videos on this channel are helpful or checkout the anxious truth, there is a wealth of help. Watch the videos and put into practice what you learn. Also CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is the gold standard treatment. Also mindfulness and mindfulness meditation is incredibly helpful. Basically you have become afraid of your own anxiety so its become a vicious circle. But to overcome it you can learn to not be afraid of anxiet let it come and go by practicing acceptance. Go out and allow that anxiety, let it happen - don’t push it away or try to avoid it, move through it. The only thing wrong is the fear of fear, anxiety can’t harm you and its not dangerous - you just need to retrain your brain.
@@vekishegassumi5052 I had them almost daily at one point. In simplest terms, I started to practice welcoming them, trying to have them almost a ‘bring it on and do your worst’ . once I realized it was the fear of panic attacks and not the actual panic attack that was the problem over time they stopped because I no longer viewed them as a problem or something to be scared. it took loads of practice over about 12 months. Basically its changing your relationship with panic and anxiety
Great video. I know how it feels to be anxious, the overwhelming sensation of being stuck into your mind, you're shivering, getting dizzy and etc, when these symptoms happen you have to push past them and focus on whatever task you have at hand, even watching this video. Stop fearing the symptoms, or they will never go away. You CAN do it.
@@statusglowhere3.2mviews4da8 Face your demons. Stop trying to forget about what makes you anxious, face it instead. Come to peace with the idea that you might fail. I know it's easier said than done, but everybody has their own battle to fight. I can say pretty confidently that I don't feel anxious anymore, I've made lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, going outside more, socializing, going to the gym.. and I even found myself a girlfriend I love. Don't think I don't have existential thoughts and similar anymore.. I do, I simply grew to overcome those thoughts and not let them affect me. It's not the end of the world my friend, you will get better.
„…It‘s actually the hate that causes the resistance. And it‘s the resistance that creates the symptoms….The trying to fix it is the issue.“ So well said. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really needed to see this today.
Thanks shaan you’re really great! Am on I will say 3rd stage stuck at using acceptance as a crutch or “saying I will start going to bars until I feel better” this help me realize what I was doing
I’m at stage one and suffering so many physical symptoms that doctors now have me on a heart monitor for 30 days which triggers even more symptoms. Now I am scared something is really wrong with my heart. It’s all physical and scary and I don’t know how to dig out. I also have derealization on some days. All I live now is constant fear. As I type this I feel so overwhelmed by it all.
This is profound, Shaan. Reminds me of when Paul David talks in his book about when he was going out with friends during the worst of his anxiety. You've got this in a nurshell - I would say to anyone that this is probably the single most useful video you have created. Thank you for all you do!
Bro going through this. I hope there's a light at the end of this tunnel. I wish nooneelse get these feelings ever. I wish whoever is struggling with this will overcome it as soon as possible.
This is what helps me so far. When having symptoms, I just snap my fingers and I just tell myself it’s just a cortisol/epinephrine rush(you can name it). Same with catastrophizing, i just tell myself it’s just a catastrophizing, and it will break the train of thoughts. And I use the epinephrine/cortisol rush instead. Let’s say if Im anxious Im gonna tell my self Im gonna use that to my task(fight), or if I can’t do the specific task I just dont do it(flight)
So it’s more like being able to ignore it at some point. To the point where it knows its not getting fed at your house anymore so it moves on. That’s what I got from your explanation anyways. Thanks for your insights.
Extremly true video! I was/am that type of person stuck between phase 2/3 as you describe it. Where you are like ''Okay I accept it, it worked to a certain degree, WHY DO I STILL HAVE IT?!'' and you actually go back and you don't actually accept it. It's hard to realize that the process takes literally weeks... You very SLOWLY start to learn how to respond to your emotions, new situations, everyday tasks. It's a process... Oh and lastly, Psychotherapy is a game changer. I recommend a CBT, but anything helps A LOT. Literally if only you have an option to do so pls I beg you do it and live a great life... Guys let's all make it happen. I believe in us, I believe we can live great lives one day, let's just be patient: ''Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.''
@@statusglowhere3.2mviews4da8 Work helps. Working towards helping yourself. Read books, go to therapy, take meds, talk to people. If you look for solutions you will get it done. Idk why I was stuck doing nothing with how terrible my life was…
I remembered the time this anxiety started: February 1st, 2021. A combination of Quarterlife crisis, Seasonal Affective Disorder and staying in during the pandemic got to me and it caused my brain to go on an overload of anxiety and got my brain to think that the things that bring me pleasure in life aren't worth it anymore, that I'm wasting time no matter what I tried, and increase my fear of aging. But the problem is almost everything triggers my anxiety.
Despite having high cholesterol and hypertension, which led to my first panic attack last month, I was just diagnosed with high depression and extreme anxiety after repeated ER trips. I had to quit my job abroad since anxiety is wrecking my life day by day, especially in the last several weeks. I often experience palpitations and extreme dizziness at work, which makes it difficult for me to perform well. I used to be in denial and was always looking for a quick fix, but now I've made up my mind to accept my condition and put up with the symptoms until they go away. I'm making progress every day, and I'll soon return to my native country to be with my family. I'm exposing myself to a lot of things that triggers my anxiety and I hope I could see a lot of progress in the next few weeks. I'm not rushing as I need to give myself some time to recover but in a timely manner. Good luck everyone!
Hi Shaan thank you for all your knowledge I’m glad that I found you a few months ago you always make feel better when I’m going through something I tune into you and I start to feel better thank for that and for all that you do … God Bless you and thank you for all your work
I guess the only way to escape any kind of fear, anxiety, depression is to stop all the negative thought on the thing you are thinking...just literally focus on mindfulness, try to detach, don't add any negative meaning to the situation...it is not denying...pause and cry for a moment...but then detach...allowing broken pieces to be broken, things unclear and uncertain and certain relationships to not be fixed even if they mean the world to you...because it's accepting that no matter what we do to try to control everything in our minds, we can't! We are killing ourselves from trying to fix them...compartmentalizing, detaching, distracting and yes, finding the thing that makes us feel in a safe or happy place..or doing things that make us forget those negative things...I guess it's a skill that we will eventually have to learn...the world will always present us with negative things...the art of learning not to care for things we can't control...and detach and remove any negative emotions or meanings we attach to things and be hyperfocused on things that bring us peace and joy...that's the only way to live.

Derealization and fun do not exist together. Its like saying burning yourself and fun can exist together. I don't love doing anything. You have passion. Some of us don't.
Do it as I tell you, in the order I'm telling you: In the morning start doing 15-20 minutes of yoga asanas (poses). The easy ones After the poses do first time for 1-2 minutes bastrika respiration (inhale, and exhale, with your nostrils largely open, if you inhale for 4 seconds, you will exhale for 4 seconds too). Next you do nadi shodan pranayama (alternating respiration through nostrils, with the mouth shout). Do it again in the evening:) In a few weeks you will be better. Some times, the symptoms will still come, but at a lower intensity. Anxiety is produced by the body, not by the mind, hence yoga posing and yoga breathing will rewire your nervous sistem in the proper way, over the time. Anxiety is body trauma, remembered by the body, at a cellular level. Take your medication too.
I’ve gotten to the 3rd stage and I’m getting there still I’m trying to prepare myself by putting myself in uncomfortable situations so then ik I won’t be bothered by it if it comes up again I’m facing it myself because I’m wanting to be prepared I don’t hate my symptoms anymore so I’m pretty close to full recovery
This is Abel ❤️🙏pls include me in your prayers daily I'm suffer from General Anxiety.. panic attack...high blood pressure... Tooth and gum deease...my Anxiety and panic attack is killing me every day I can't sleep.. vomiting...sweating... numbness ... weakness...no appetite...fear of everything.... I'm taking escitalopram daily but the symptoms still exist everyday... I've been praying everyday that our Lord Jesus Christ would also heal and free me completely from all my illness especially Anxiety . panic attack. High blood pressure . Tooth and gum deseas..pls take time to include me in your prayers so God will heal me now from my suffering..I know God is merciful and powerful and our Great Healer... God bless you and your family too ❤️🙏

I wonder which stage is this tiredness a part of? I no longer fear the symptoms, most of them are gone anyway...I sleep better, I don't avoid places that used to cause me panic...I feel like I progressed a LOT since finding your channel. Now I just feel exhausted and lethargic. Where am I at, Shaan ? 💙🙏
This type of approach may work for mild anxiety, but, how are you suppose to go on about your day when anxiety is keeping you from eating or sleeping? You can’t focus on anything so how are you suppose to work? Your blood pressure and heart rate are thru the roof and your suppose to just carry on? Cmon man
great advice & info , been into this awhile , but @ the point of just moving forward wheather i feel like real bad or not , been a journey for sure , keep up this great info 👍
I’m between 2-3 cuz I find myself allowing and accepting for long periods and then when the symptom doesn’t dissipate, I get frustrated cuz WHYYYY CANT MY BODY UNDERSTAND WE ARE SAFE!!!!! But I have to step back and just keep going..
I have seen Jesus heal others miraculously and then others through treatment or therapy or other things. I guess I just always have that burning hope that makes me question why do I have to wait a suffer so hard and long for my healing.
Im lucky that i understand my health anxiety and knows its my mind reacting and why its scared 2 months been dealing it (from numbness to heart palpitation also headache like that feels like im on a boat ) im on stage 3 right now but like what he told its 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 again and again its hard because you will become addicted to "acceptance" but when acceptance dont work you will panic and that panic will counter your syntoms again and will make it stronger
In my honest opinion, trying to intellectualise anxious feelings repeatedly is what leads most of us here. Shaan’s videos, his ability to communicate and hit the nail on the head is outstanding. I would love to meet you in person man. ♥️
I was way sicker than this. I couldn’t sleep or eat for months on end. I couldn’t just get up and go about my life. I lost 20kg in a couple of months. I had to take some medication and do meditation for months. I had to learn diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness. This advice is “just get over it.” It’s not going to be enough for some people who are gravely ill with this disorder. I couldn’t move an inch off the couch. I lay there for months. I couldn’t sleep. My anxiety was like a bushfire raging 24 hours per day. This advice would not have touched the surface of what I needed when I was gravely ill with it. If anyone is out there suffering with life threatening anxiety, please don’t listen to this advice. Seek medical help from a psychiatrist or doctor and learn meditation and diaphragmatic breathing. You don’t have to go without sleep and food for an extended period of time. I dont expect you to just act like the symptoms don’t exist and continue on with your day. Not when you are practically dying from this illness. Get some medical help. I bet this guy doesn’t have any medical qualifications. But if he does, that’s even worse.
My body is acting up with some unexplained physical symptoms. I cannot work because of these unexplained physical symptom. This increases my tension and stress.My mental state becomes completely scattered. A different kind of bad feeling happens to me and very hard for me to bear. I don't know what to call this feeling. It is not because of any stress, tension, fear or any sadness that these symptoms start but from these, tension and fear start in me. A kind of pain starts from the left side of my chest which is felt from the chest to the inside of the eye sockets and the scalp. The chest becomes very heavy and everything inside seems to be churning. The left side of my lip started to tingle when the levels increased. I feel like this most after waking up. My chest feels like a brick. My symptoms revolve around chest, lips, eyes and head. The worst feeling is because of the bad feeling. This painful feeling causes panic in me. My academic life has already destroyed because of this problem & now I don't know what will I do in future.
I use to just lay and the bed then boom I got up walk around the corner 8 times and every day I would do this unless it rains ,or it I’m tired and want a nap but I just learned to go more places I’m on vacation at a resort now vacationing with my sensations and having fun .. I really don’t know my stage but hey I’m gone to enjoy my life
You ONLY get over it or beat it when you LOSE the FEAR of having it all together (all the symptoms including your doubts and worries). Just live your life as if you would not have it. It ain't easy, but feasible ! Overtime you'll notice (all of a sudden) ... ehhm where is my struggling or suffering ?! Did I miss something 🤔 Sure, the doctors are gonna speak of it as a serious mental illness just to gain your trust, making you wanna believe in their words but don't be with them (it's a business strategy). Yes, what you're going through is NOT normal, but it's NOT weakness or a life sentence either.
Shaan, great explanation of stages. Now, what about medications, like SSRIs people use. Like me. One thing, I really am more relaxed as they helped me to cool down, be less agitated, feel more relief, at the same time I can find myself somewhere between stage 3-4 now. But what is your opinion on that - do meds help your clients to recover faster, in a more decent way, and do stages feel the same, or there’s some other logic according to you?
There is no link down here for a free book or anything else I can go read Sometimes listening to these people give me anxiety I have had derealization for 40 years and have tried everything even my medication doesn't seem to be working as good as it did of course my life is a mess right now family problems my whole life my mom always told me you're nervous why are you so as a child so now that I guess what? That negative input has stayed with me I'm trying prayer now 🙏🏽
The panic attacks almost cause accident, i feel like i have no control of my car, sometimes it causes me to STOP suddenly .Started 2007 with bad sad news . Then Had to Drive to Jersey From Upstate NY , had to put flashers on to get off Ny State Thruway to return home. Since then no longer driving to Jersey Plus curves on the road r the worst. I take natural supplements.
I started to feel all these symptoms after quitting coffee cod turkey and since then i struggle with this symptoms coming and going. My main symptom is dizziness. Shaan Kassam
@@ledianaejlli9385 I still dont drink coffee, its been nearly a year. I started walking alot, i dont get the dizziness anymore 🙏 remember it could also be down to heart rate also, if your anxious 🙏
Great info but I do have to say mindfulness sessions will help you to desensitize and keep your mind and body from becoming sensitized in the first place. It works.
What if the anxiety is the sole cause of your anxiety (mine are eye symptoms, flashes, floaters, weird moving things in peripheral vision, even with my eyes closed! So when you say don’t focus on the symptom, it’s almost funny because my eyes are focused on my eyes! Lol. Our eyes are open all day so it’s so hard to let it be there when it’s right in front of me. Help!
It is extremely hard , but at the end of the day it is still anxiety . No matter how you get it , you have to follow what he tells you. Even if it seems impossible. I completely understand how you feel , but you need to try.
On point Shaan!
Stage 3 / 4 in 3 months since I fell into the loop but this isn’t a race. The timeline doesn’t even matter. There will be setbacks. There will be days when symptoms will come on strong.
I’m just really grateful I found your videos early on in my journey. I’ve watched so many and I think it’s your passion to help others fully recover is what sets your content apart 🔥
Eternally grateful for your mentorship 🖤 I’m a new person now 🧠✨
This is so true.. I have been struggling for a year with depersonalization I don't even remember what normal feels like, the world seems so foreign to me and scary at the same time...sigh but I'm gonna commit to your mentorship and whatever you have to say because Shaan, your content is the best I have seen so far...

As long as you don’t use them as a way to “avoid” anxiety it should be fine. You want to live as normal as you can and face anxiety head on. I used to meditate when I had it, and still do. Even when meditating I would let all the anxiety fly around in my head and not chase it away. Good

Did you feel numb too?
Could you able to sleep ?
I got overwhelmed with worries couple of months back then all of a sudden my nerves was shattered, lights noise everything I couldn't handle. Got myself isolated with depression, then agoraphobia happened. Felt weak,dizzy fast heart beat. As soon as I realised the circle, I had to stop it. Started with a routine of walking my dog an HR a day. I feel uncomfortable if I put myself out there but it's just a feeling, you need to keep feeling uncomfortable to build new neaurotransmitters in your brain, new pathways.

Started on the first stage, down to the last, it gets better I promise you! Just follow Shaan & everything he teaches, he knows what he’s talking about 🙏🏻
I’m at stage 3 since finding Shaan. I felt the same way you did and you can do this. We all can!!!!
"Its actually the hate that causes the resistance, and its the resistance that creates the symptoms." Wow well said.
This is something I didn't realize when I was still in stage 3 while I was fighting my symptoms. Now I see the truth: I have to let them be and not let them get in the way of my happiness.
Life > Anxiety
When I started making my life bigger than my anxiety, that’s when I felt real close to full recovery.
Have you recovered from Anxiety 💯 percent?
Please reply.....
@@ravishekkumar6703 how r u feeling bro
Yes!!!
Something that really helped me overcome anxiety was a video i watched where the man said, everyone feels fear it’s natural but its your choice to be brave which means feeling fear and going through with whatever caused it anyways, that’s real bravery doing something that you’re afraid of, kind of like exposure therapy. As soon as i heard that something clicked inside me and slowly i started doing all the things i was afraid of and eventually these seemingly impossible things became easy... and overthinking went away. It didnt happen overnight but it happened.
This is wear I’m trying to be. I’m ready to get out and start living my life again
Thank you Bea. That’s inspiring.
@Bea can I ask you a few questions?
@@melissaquintero7201 yes absolutely
@@Ecatgirluwu did you ever experience sadness while in the recovery journey? And if so is that also a symptom of anxiety?
The key isn't fighting your anxiety, it's to allow it to be there while you enjoy doing the things you love. If you allow it to be there and don't pay it too much mind, you desensitize yourself to it and eventually your mind will stop reacting this way to your triggers. This is how you overcome chronic anxiety.
But what if your anexity came from a going crazy fear and that’s all you think of how do you let that go
@@User-qz9bo you gotta remind yourself that you aren’t going to go crazy and you have the power over your own mind. Remind yourself that you are in control and you can enjoy your life even if you experience these thoughts. When they do come, challenge them and reframe them by saying they aren’t true and you can live a happy life without fear.
I'm at the final stage of recovery 🙏 🙌 I'm getting comfortable with my discomfort and living life no matter what.
How ?
@@gaurangsadhu8027 just keep yourself busy. Don’t give too much attention to your thoughts
@@sekeriyasharif6593 have you fully recovered by keeping yourself busy
I’m in the 3-4 stage right now. I am still experiencing a couple of symptoms but I have stopped trying to fight it and am choosing to live my life, do my hobbies, and hang out with people even if I still feel the symptoms. I have been dealing with this for about a month. It started because I overworked myself and burned out. It has been challenging but it has pushed me to incorporate things into my daily life that reduce stress and are beneficial for my health - like taking breaks, going for walks outside, cutting back on screen time, meditation, and learning to rest and to be ok with doing nothing. And I’m thankful that even though it has been hard, it is helping me to take better care of myself.
How are you now? And what helped you
Love how positive these comments are!
All the best everyone, We can do this!
Yes we can. It's gone 4ever🎉
Anxiety doesn't go away it's a natural feeling it's responsible, for your flight or fight response and when your brain doesn't turn it off your stuck in constant anxiety and it sucks ass because my body and mind know what's wrong but I still struggle with it praying for you all...
Notes:
Stage 1. Realise the problem/know its anxiety
Stage 2. Acknowledge and accept your symptoms, stop resisting.
Stage 3. Achive a neutral relationship with your symptoms, stop caring about them. (Hardest stage)
Stage 4. Completely getting over anxiety and recovery, not letting any of it run your life.
Essentially the goal with recovery is not having a goal, just letting go of your symptoms and unknowingly watch them fade away.
Well said!
On the second stage still on the road to recovery have realised my problems
@@fireimpulse4492how u doin now
Man ive been having anxiety for 3 years. First year was back to back panic attacks every day. Literally lost 40lbs and thinking I'm going to die. First panic attack i was for sure thinking I'm dying and was even ok with it at that moment since it seemed like its happening. Eneded up passing out and fast forward medication has really helped and now my mindset has been strong so i rarely get anxiety. Sometimes it creeps up on or gives me symptoms but i just relax and breathe. The Quran relaxes me and being kind to my parents and wife makes me happy that if anything does happen i lived a life with love and that god has his plan. Death will just return men back to my lord. Be strong guys, it's hard, very hard. But it only strengthens you. The first time you overcome with your heart and mind. The door for recovery is now on the right track.
What all are the symptoms you had??
“They use accepting & allowing as a sophisticated way of avoiding anxiety.” You just put it perfectly!! I think the key like you said is changing our relationship with the symptoms. Avoiding the compulsions to fix it (whether that’s acceptance, seeking reassurance, or coping)
I'm going thru Hormonal Imbalance Anxiety, it comes & goes, some days are more harder than others especially the days before my menstrual cycle. I'm in treatment for my Hormonal Imbalance already & getting a hold of this situation very soon! I wanted to share because I know there's TONS of Women out there going thru this & not even DOCS know how to help us, I've had to do my own research & I've been able to manage it without medication, solely menopausal supplements. Thanks!
How are you now? And what helped you
"The hate creates the resistance and the resistance creates the symptoms."
Beautifully stated.
Nothing beats prayer if its sincere🙏❤️🙏
True ❤️
Well guess what? Prayer became hard for me with anxiety as I felt no different after praying and that upset me...I wanted to feel less anxiety and comfort but it didn't happen like I wanted....so I got frustrated.
Feels like I'm at every stage.. I live with it, I dealt with it, I accepted it! When it hits me I will always turn on "anxiety attack music" get fresh air and concentrate on the music slowly my heartbeats back to normal!

Every single time I struggle with setbacks I watch your videos. They help me every time :) Sometimes I think I‘m healed and I don‘t have symptoms for months. Then suddenly they come back and I don‘t know how to get out of it again. But your tips always help, we can all get out of this by just letting the symptoms be there :)
I find that when my nerves are hyper stimulated I get anxiety for no reason, I have been dealing with this for a month , I am recovering slowly, the first 2 weeks I could not sleep , I can finally sleep now , I am going to work even tho I am anxuios for no reason, i could be sitting watching tv and my brain is freaking out - almost like the world is ending . I get anxiety about anything, I know if I keep going on with my day and live with it , it will go away .
Try mindfulness exercises for anxiety.
Wow you are truly brave I so admire your determination or dedication... it's not easy I find to keep on track and I often get nasty and want my feelings to change!!
The no sleep is hard, I done well for over a month getting back to normal ( 3-7 broken Hours a night but better than 0) then a course of antibiotics wiped those weeks out in a few days, last night freaking out over a 3rd night of no sleep and had to calm down using accupressure mat and controlled breathing. Which did eventually work. So hard to not think about sleep as I never get a feeling of tiredness anymore I just kind of nod off but wake up like I have never been asleep.
(A year ago I would never of thought I would type words like these or even have any issues with sleep of anxiety) Burnout is a bitch
Ten second summary: 1) Trying to get rid of symptoms. 2) Accepting symptoms. 3) Actually accepting symptoms. 4) Doing other stuff.
Two second data extraction: 1) Fight it. 2) Accept it.
Reality check: Zoom out and see that this is actually the stages of grief all over again. Denial (I'm fine). Anger (why me, grr). Bargaining (this is the fight part). Depression (nothing works). Acceptance (it do be like that).
Wisdom!
It all makes sense - though it's really hard. I have some chronic pain and I am at the beginning of state 2. I am praying not for delivery from the pain but for the grace to accept it so that I can stop hurting myself even more, needlessly. Thankfully, most of my pain is mild at this point or most of the time.
thank you so much i realized i was stuck at stage 3, ur videos helped sm i can't even thank you enough, god bless!!
Same...
Thanks for the video! I am somewhere between 3 and 4. 1 or 2 months ago I was at stage 1. I spent a year at stage 1 until I discovered this content!
Its amazing how quickly you can progress through anxiety when you can relate and understand content.
Enjoy the ride while you can, you'll learn so much about yourself, the limits and strengths you never knew you had, the resilience in the end.. some symptoms can be extremely debilitating, but its an exciting journey, if you look at this optimistically - it goes a long way on your healing journey.
But solid work brother!
I have been between stage 3 and 4 for 2 years now and I agree, it is the hardest. Sometimes I still fall back into the hole of having a hard time to have a neutral relationship and to accept the symptom.
I do not want to avoid it anymore, I want to accept my feelings.
Spot on! living my life thinking I can’t stand this, I want this gone - then realizing it was the ‘I can’t stand this, I want this gone’ that is the anxiety disorder - its not a separate thing, the moment i realised this i was like ‘holllllllly fuuuuuuck’ i see it clearly now. It was like bang, this is what i need to work on, not managing, not coping or putting up with it. That was the day my real recovery started 😄
Wait.. this is what’s happening to me. Every time I go out all I think about is how im anxious and how I feel hopeless and how I’ll never get better. How did you get past this
@@kyliemartinez1507 Well - the videos on this channel are helpful or checkout the anxious truth, there is a wealth of help. Watch the videos and put into practice what you learn. Also CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is the gold standard treatment. Also mindfulness and mindfulness meditation is incredibly helpful. Basically you have become afraid of your own anxiety so its become a vicious circle.
But to overcome it you can learn to not be afraid of anxiet let it come and go by practicing acceptance. Go out and allow that anxiety, let it happen - don’t push it away or try to avoid it, move through it. The only thing wrong is the fear of fear, anxiety can’t harm you and its not dangerous - you just need to retrain your brain.

@@vekishegassumi5052 I had them almost daily at one point. In simplest terms, I started to practice welcoming them, trying to have them almost a ‘bring it on and do your worst’ . once I realized it was the fear of panic attacks and not the actual panic attack that was the problem over time they stopped because I no longer viewed them as a problem or something to be scared. it took loads of practice over about 12 months. Basically its changing your relationship with panic and anxiety
Great video. I know how it feels to be anxious, the overwhelming sensation of being stuck into your mind, you're shivering, getting dizzy and etc, when these symptoms happen you have to push past them and focus on whatever task you have at hand, even watching this video. Stop fearing the symptoms, or they will never go away. You CAN do it.
How are you now? And what helped you
@@statusglowhere3.2mviews4da8 Face your demons. Stop trying to forget about what makes you anxious, face it instead. Come to peace with the idea that you might fail. I know it's easier said than done, but everybody has their own battle to fight. I can say pretty confidently that I don't feel anxious anymore, I've made lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, going outside more, socializing, going to the gym.. and I even found myself a girlfriend I love. Don't think I don't have existential thoughts and similar anymore.. I do, I simply grew to overcome those thoughts and not let them affect me. It's not the end of the world my friend, you will get better.
„…It‘s actually the hate that causes the resistance. And it‘s the resistance that creates the symptoms….The trying to fix it is the issue.“ So well said. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really needed to see this today.

Doing what you love ❤️👌 I am going to do this 👊👊👊 Goodbye fight and flight response 🤞
Thanks shaan you’re really great! Am on I will say 3rd stage stuck at using acceptance as a crutch or “saying I will start going to bars until I feel better” this help me realize what I was doing
Comment below and let me know which stage you feel you are at? 👇
I’m at stage one and suffering so many physical symptoms that doctors now have me on a heart monitor for 30 days which triggers even more symptoms. Now I am scared something is really wrong with my heart. It’s all physical and scary and I don’t know how to dig out. I also have derealization on some days. All I live now is constant fear. As I type this I feel so overwhelmed by it all.
I was there too! You are still fearing,dont fear rules my friend
Feeling emotionally numb and depressed??
What is the next stage??
@@atulalkr2867 did you recover?
@@melissaquintero7201 did you recover
This is profound, Shaan. Reminds me of when Paul David talks in his book about when he was going out with friends during the worst of his anxiety. You've got this in a nurshell - I would say to anyone that this is probably the single most useful video you have created. Thank you for all you do!
Bro going through this. I hope there's a light at the end of this tunnel. I wish nooneelse get these feelings ever. I wish whoever is struggling with this will overcome it as soon as possible.
This is what helps me so far. When having symptoms, I just snap my fingers and I just tell myself it’s just a cortisol/epinephrine rush(you can name it). Same with catastrophizing, i just tell myself it’s just a catastrophizing, and it will break the train of thoughts. And I use the epinephrine/cortisol rush instead. Let’s say if Im anxious Im gonna tell my self Im gonna use that to my task(fight), or if I can’t do the specific task I just dont do it(flight)
This helped a lot! Will try this technique. Been avoiding things far too long from the fear but focus away from it i must.
So it’s more like being able to ignore it at some point. To the point where it knows its not getting fed at your house anymore so it moves on. That’s what I got from your explanation anyways. Thanks for your insights.
Extremly true video!
I was/am that type of person stuck between phase 2/3 as you describe it. Where you are like ''Okay I accept it, it worked to a certain degree, WHY DO I STILL HAVE IT?!'' and you actually go back and you don't actually accept it. It's hard to realize that the process takes literally weeks... You very SLOWLY start to learn how to respond to your emotions, new situations, everyday tasks. It's a process...
Oh and lastly, Psychotherapy is a game changer. I recommend a CBT, but anything helps A LOT. Literally if only you have an option to do so pls I beg you do it and live a great life... Guys let's all make it happen. I believe in us, I believe we can live great lives one day, let's just be patient:
''Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.''
How are you now? And what helped you
@@statusglowhere3.2mviews4da8 Work helps. Working towards helping yourself. Read books, go to therapy, take meds, talk to people. If you look for solutions you will get it done. Idk why I was stuck doing nothing with how terrible my life was…
I remembered the time this anxiety started: February 1st, 2021. A combination of Quarterlife crisis, Seasonal Affective Disorder and staying in during the pandemic got to me and it caused my brain to go on an overload of anxiety and got my brain to think that the things that bring me pleasure in life aren't worth it anymore, that I'm wasting time no matter what I tried, and increase my fear of aging.
But the problem is almost everything triggers my anxiety.
Despite having high cholesterol and hypertension, which led to my first panic attack last month, I was just diagnosed with high depression and extreme anxiety after repeated ER trips. I had to quit my job abroad since anxiety is wrecking my life day by day, especially in the last several weeks. I often experience palpitations and extreme dizziness at work, which makes it difficult for me to perform well.
I used to be in denial and was always looking for a quick fix, but now I've made up my mind to accept my condition and put up with the symptoms until they go away.
I'm making progress every day, and I'll soon return to my native country to be with my family.
I'm exposing myself to a lot of things that triggers my anxiety and I hope I could see a lot of progress in the next few weeks. I'm not rushing as I need to give myself some time to recover but in a timely manner.
Good luck everyone!
Hello
May i ask how youre feeling now??
Hi Shaan thank you for all your knowledge I’m glad that I found you a few months ago you always make feel better when I’m going through something I tune into you and I start to feel better thank for that and for all that you do … God Bless you and thank you for all your work
Once again thanks, I found stage 4 to be what I was missing. You rock
Great video. I think I'm in phase 2. Looking at it this way is more encouraging. Thank you!!!
After 3 years, I'm finally at Phase 4. Lezgo!!!
I guess the only way to escape any kind of fear, anxiety, depression is to stop all the negative thought on the thing you are thinking...just literally focus on mindfulness, try to detach, don't add any negative meaning to the situation...it is not denying...pause and cry for a moment...but then detach...allowing broken pieces to be broken, things unclear and uncertain and certain relationships to not be fixed even if they mean the world to you...because it's accepting that no matter what we do to try to control everything in our minds, we can't! We are killing ourselves from trying to fix them...compartmentalizing, detaching, distracting and yes, finding the thing that makes us feel in a safe or happy place..or doing things that make us forget those negative things...I guess it's a skill that we will eventually have to learn...the world will always present us with negative things...the art of learning not to care for things we can't control...and detach and remove any negative emotions or meanings we attach to things and be hyperfocused on things that bring us peace and joy...that's the only way to live.
Have not yet met anyone that cute themselves with prayer, exposure seems to be the only way out ❤
That recovery is not linear is a really important point to understand. The backbone of recovery
To accelerate your recovery journey, book a discovery call to see if the mentorship with Shaan will help your specific situation:

Derealization and fun do not exist together. Its like saying burning yourself and fun can exist together. I don't love doing anything. You have passion. Some of us don't.
Do it as I tell you, in the order I'm telling you:
In the morning start doing 15-20 minutes of yoga asanas (poses). The easy ones
After the poses do first time for 1-2 minutes bastrika respiration (inhale, and exhale, with your nostrils largely open, if you inhale for 4 seconds, you will exhale for 4 seconds too). Next you do nadi shodan pranayama (alternating respiration through nostrils, with the mouth shout). Do it again in the evening:) In a few weeks you will be better. Some times, the symptoms will still come, but at a lower intensity. Anxiety is produced by the body, not by the mind, hence yoga posing and yoga breathing will rewire your nervous sistem in the proper way, over the time. Anxiety is body trauma, remembered by the body, at a cellular level. Take your medication too.
I’ve gotten to the 3rd stage and I’m getting there still I’m trying to prepare myself by putting myself in uncomfortable situations so then ik I won’t be bothered by it if it comes up again I’m facing it myself because I’m wanting to be prepared I don’t hate my symptoms anymore so I’m pretty close to full recovery

Eat fruits and vegetables .cut down fast food
I wonder which stage is this tiredness a part of? I no longer fear the symptoms, most of them are gone anyway...I sleep better, I don't avoid places that used to cause me panic...I feel like I progressed a LOT since finding your channel. Now I just feel exhausted and lethargic. Where am I at, Shaan ? 💙🙏
Same here!!! I find myself trying to keep my eyes open throughout the day of how tired I am & that’s because I sleep 8-9 hours a day 😅
He mentions that this is VERY common for people who are newly recovered. I think there’s a video or Instagram about it.
How are you now?
Cool, great video.. Thank for taking time and creating these motivation tips videos.. God bless you dude.
This type of approach may work for mild anxiety, but, how are you suppose to go on about your day when anxiety is keeping you from eating or sleeping? You can’t focus on anything so how are you suppose to work? Your blood pressure and heart rate are thru the roof and your suppose to just carry on? Cmon man
I disagree with the notion that I’m only talking about “mild anxiety.”
God bless you brother ❤
This really helps for someone to explain things this way thank you
Thank you so much Shaan, this helped me so much, and it also gave me a lot of hope too.
great advice & info , been into this awhile , but @ the point of just moving forward wheather i feel like real bad or not , been a journey for sure , keep up this great info 👍
I love how when you’re talking about running away from it there are two dogs battling it out behind you. It’s how I feel currently 😭🤣
the couple videos i've seen of yours are a huge help, thank you so much for what you do.
I’m between 2-3 cuz I find myself allowing and accepting for long periods and then when the symptom doesn’t dissipate, I get frustrated cuz WHYYYY CANT MY BODY UNDERSTAND WE ARE SAFE!!!!! But I have to step back and just keep going..
Jesus is the solution for me 💗 i can't sleep but i thank Jesus Christ amen
Great video Shaan!
Thank you for making such videos . Keep them
Coming
I have seen Jesus heal others miraculously and then others through treatment or therapy or other things. I guess I just always have that burning hope that makes me question why do I have to wait a suffer so hard and long for my healing.
Im lucky that i understand my health anxiety and knows its my mind reacting and why its scared 2 months been dealing it (from numbness to heart palpitation also headache like that feels like im on a boat ) im on stage 3 right now but like what he told its 2 and 3 and 2 and 3 again and again its hard because you will become addicted to "acceptance" but when acceptance dont work you will panic and that panic will counter your syntoms again and will make it stronger
How are you now? And what helped you
In my honest opinion, trying to intellectualise anxious feelings repeatedly is what leads most of us here.
Shaan’s videos, his ability to communicate and hit the nail on the head is outstanding.
I would love to meet you in person man. ♥️
100% agreed!
I'm experiencing anxiety now. and thank you for this video 😢 hope my anxiety will be gone
I was way sicker than this. I couldn’t sleep or eat for months on end. I couldn’t just get up and go about my life. I lost 20kg in a couple of months. I had to take some medication and do meditation for months. I had to learn diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness. This advice is “just get over it.” It’s not going to be enough for some people who are gravely ill with this disorder. I couldn’t move an inch off the couch. I lay there for months. I couldn’t sleep. My anxiety was like a bushfire raging 24 hours per day. This advice would not have touched the surface of what I needed when I was gravely ill with it. If anyone is out there suffering with life threatening anxiety, please don’t listen to this advice. Seek medical help from a psychiatrist or doctor and learn meditation and diaphragmatic breathing. You don’t have to go without sleep and food for an extended period of time. I dont expect you to just act like the symptoms don’t exist and continue on with your day. Not when you are practically dying from this illness. Get some medical help. I bet this guy doesn’t have any medical qualifications. But if he does, that’s even worse.
I just got your videos n just 2 or 3 videos of yours changed my life n my mind😊
My body is acting up with some unexplained physical symptoms. I cannot work because of these unexplained physical symptom. This increases my tension and stress.My mental state becomes completely scattered. A different kind of bad feeling happens to me and very hard for me to bear. I don't know what to call this feeling. It is not because of any stress, tension, fear or any sadness that these symptoms start but from these, tension and fear start in me. A kind of pain starts from the left side of my chest which is felt from the chest to the inside of the eye sockets and the scalp. The chest becomes very heavy and everything inside seems to be churning. The left side of my lip started to tingle when the levels increased. I feel like this most after waking up. My chest feels like a brick. My symptoms revolve around chest, lips, eyes and head. The worst feeling is because of the bad feeling. This painful feeling causes panic in me. My academic life has already destroyed because of this problem & now I don't know what will I do in future.
As soon as he said “Instead of running away”, two dogs run away in the background lol...

I am at the stage 2...and i don't know what to do next but after watching your video now i know what to do thanks budy❤
How are you now? And what helped you
You ONLY get over it or beat it when you LOSE the FEAR of having it all together (all the symptoms including your doubts and worries). Just live your life as if you would not have it. It ain't easy, but feasible ! Overtime you'll notice (all of a sudden) ... ehhm where is my struggling or suffering ?! Did I miss something 🤔
Sure, the doctors are gonna speak of it as a serious mental illness just to gain your trust, making you wanna believe in their words but don't be with them (it's a business strategy). Yes, what you're going through is NOT normal, but it's NOT weakness or a life sentence either.

Shaan, great explanation of stages. Now, what about medications, like SSRIs people use. Like me. One thing, I really am more relaxed as they helped me to cool down, be less agitated, feel more relief, at the same time I can find myself somewhere between stage 3-4 now. But what is your opinion on that - do meds help your clients to recover faster, in a more decent way, and do stages feel the same, or there’s some other logic according to you?

So basically treat your anxiety like that loud obnoxious person at a group event? Acknowledge it, take a breathe and dont git it your time of day.
My anxiety was gone once I began identifying as a strong independent black woman.
Lol
What were your pronouns?😅
mine was when i transitioned to a woman and stated calling women birthing person
What if the anxiety is the sole cause of your anxiety (mine are eye symptoms, flashes, floaters, weird moving things in peripheral vision, even with my eyes closed! So when you say don’t focus on the symptom, it’s almost funny because my eyes are focused on my eyes! Lol. Our eyes are open all day so it’s so hard to let it be there when it’s right in front of me. Help!
It is extremely hard , but at the end of the day it is still anxiety . No matter how you get it , you have to follow what he tells you. Even if it seems impossible. I completely understand how you feel , but you need to try.
I can 1000% relate with this video
I have been having setbacks than successes lately

What symptoms of yours keeps coming back?
God bless you 🙏 shaan😢
