- In this episode, I discuss a coping mechanisim I use with anxiety and anxiety attacks.
Yesterday, in what should have been a happy day, It was Valentines Day, I’m just a few days back from a winter vacation in the sun, and although it was cold outside, the sun was shinning and skies were blue; But I was triggered by an conversation that left me curled up on the floor, my heart was beating fast, I was sweating, my head rushing with so many thoughts and this feeling I couldn’t breath; the world was literally compressing on me from every angel. I was completely overcome by the emotion of fear, and my eyes glazed over and everything was just a blur. Now sadly, this is a experience I know all too well when I suffer from anxiety attack. But thankfully, I have a number of different methods to help me cope in this situation.
Since my job burnout I have suffered from Anxiety and Depression and dealt with symptons of PTSD. I hope that in this video I can share my ways to achieve some anxiety reflief, for anyone suffer from anxiety disorders.
I discuss a process call Cognitive Restructuring as part of my mental health and self care routine for further burnout prevention and as taught to me by my therapist during my burnout recovery.

Wow you look so much better than in the old videos. Great to see your progress. Are you fully recovered?
I am in the thick of it. It started one year ago already however, only now, letting the self employment go, I had my full mental breakdown. Anxiety rushed through me until emotional numbness hit me like a rock. Cannot relate to anything anymore. It’s exhausting while having a small kid you still have to take care of. I don’t know how I do it honestly 🙈 I try to accept it and take baby steps. 😢
I watched your burnout videos when I was in a really dark place last year. It was hard for me to believe I could ever be free. And the chronic fatigue I was experiencing set up a vicious spiral. I worked with a therapist and eventually got myself back. I recently had a test of my anxiety and I was so delighted that I could bring myself back with the tools I learned. However, I would not have recovered if I stayed in my toxic job with my monster boss. I'm living a more authentic life. I remember you discussing this. Full recovery is possible but it does take patience. And thank you again for sharing your struggles. It helped me believe. And that kept me on my path. 🙂

The temperature change is a new concept for me - it makes sense. Thanks for all of this. PS: I also enjoy your other channel.
Hey Sonja, thanks so much for watching. And my other channel 😃😃 I can’t remember who suggested to me the changing temperature, but I find it really works well. Especially if at home and I can’t get outside to change environment. I really recommend giving it a try! Thanks for the support! Hope you are well.
Good talk. Thanks. from Toronto Canada

Anxiety is awful numb legs tight throat tired but can't sleep
Hi Gregg Ive been struggling with anxiety for 3 years now and had awful panic attacks in march i thought i was going insane they were very painful and frightening i am seeing a counsellor now but i think ive had a breakdown too and lost a part of who i was its a strange feeling how can i be sure. Im still suffering with anxiety without medication. Ive been having alot of stress before this happened one thing after the other. Any advice. 😔🦋
Dear Michelle, Many thanks for watching and mores sharing your experience. I really wish I had a solution to share...haha... for me it's just finding various coping mechanisms that work best at the time of an attack. And also trying to structure my life better to give me more mental space to handle situations when they arise. This channel has been as much about sharing my experiences and what I find helps me as hearing from others. But I know that there has been so much that I thought was important and that just feed my anxiety that nowadays, I just say... I acknowledge it. It's not urgent. I have to do things in a time that works for me. And this can be a really hard thing to comes too grips with when we live such crazy busy lives, but it does seem to help. I hope my videos offer some support in your circumstances. Hope you stick around for future videos. Thanks for taking the time. Wishing you the best, Gregg
