Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I wish you a happy and healthy recovery. It can be very disorientating at first. With ups and downs. But if there is one thing I learnt, it was to take time. Feel free to ask any questions.

@@AnxiousGregg Thank you Gregg. Appreciate the advice and I will keep it in mind.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I can really relate to still having struggles. We are so programmed in what is essentially an unhealthy society. I think having a different perspective and pace, is the way to move forward. I wish you the best.

It happens when your mind is racing 100 miles per hour more than the person you are speaking with. It’s terrible and a great sign of a need to slow right down.

Glad you found me again! Thanks for your support! Hoping you are well.

Sorry my very late reply. I somehow missed your comment. Firstly thanks for watching. Im glad the videos were able to help you feel less alone. And yes there are some amazing people who have opened up in the comments, so generously willing to share their experiences. I find them an incredible source of encouragement and a wonderful community! Wishing you the best with your recovery!

I'm right there with you everyday you're not alone

Thank you! I was very lucky to be in a position that I could. Lots of people who write here simply can’t. So I’m very grateful for being able to do so. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Glad it helped you in some way. Hope you are doing ok in your situation. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I am in a better place. I still have my ups and downs but many lifestyle changes (sometimes some tough choices) have helped. Appreciate your comments. Hope you are doing well.

I really understand. And to be honest, even after all this time I still get that feeling from time to time. But it did fade over time as i begin to replace some of those old behaviours, habits, good and bad, with updated and improve versions of myself that are even better. I wish the same for you. Thanks for watching and hope you are going well in your situation.

Sorry my late reply. Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear you are going through this. But it does get better. Stay strong and give yourself all the time and space you can, for a health and happy recovery.

Apologies my late reply. I hope by now you have managed to get to the core of the issue your son is facing. I’m not a train professional so the only advice I can offer is to seek a therapist to speak with him. I know from my experience, when I was younger I also stopped eating and gave any kind of excuse to people not to address the problem. The reason why, is I didn’t understand or know how to express myself or the depression I was going through. It was many years later and repeatedly going through these unhealthy cycles that a therapist was finally able to help me understand. I wish you success for your sons health.

He claims he eats at school so …. and we DO see a bill. Guess that’s a good thing. ….Thanks for responding !

Thank you for sharing this. I too have had a similar situation and was overwhelmingly sad and had no fight left in me

Hi Grace. I know a lot of people here have said that they really found their beliefs, religion and community a great support to them. I’m glad you have that to turn to during this difficult period in life. I wish you the best. Thanks for watching and commenting . Much appreciated 🙏

You’re welcome. Thanks for your kind words and for watching! Much appreciated. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks Michelle, Honestly, my life is up and down, but thats closer to "normal' - whatever they may be - than the consistent overwhelming state it was. I kinda get sad at times my life is like this, and I long for the days before it was, but at the same time, I've learnt so much about myself, about setting boundaries and made some really good choices these last years that Im proud of. So I try to accept and remain positive. Living alone I understand can really be difficult. A good friend of mind really struggles. But what Ive found is having those important people (friends) who really understand your situation and are there for you, really helps. Even if just a call to listen to me. I do hope you have a network who can also be there for you,. Hugs, Gregg

@@AnxiousGregg Thanks for you reply Greg. I have a few close friends and family near by who visit but i need to rest and have quiet time which is frustrating too i prefer to be busy but its impossible as im sure you'll know. Its a long road ahead and a different me i guess. Big hug to you. 🌟🙂🕊

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

Hi! Thanks for watching and many thanks for your kind words. Yes I agree speaking with others who have the shared experienced has really help me. Wishing you the best through your recovery.

Many thanks Lily. I’m currently taking a break from the channel. But hope to have a new video soon! Thanks for watching and supportive words. Hope you are well

Hi. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experiences. Sorry my late reply. I’m really glad I was able to help in some way. And I appreciate your supportive words. I do wish you a healthy and safe recovery. Hugs

Hi mate. I’m very sorry for delayed response. I’ve been off the channel for a little while due to my own struggles. Firstly thanks for watching. I’m sorry to Here you burn-out with your studies. I hear this a lot recently. But yes, no energy, will or interest were some of the biggest effects my burnout had on me.

Just one more thing I am not able to sleep, It takes me very long 1or 2 hour to fall asleep or sometimes not able to sleep at all and also most of the time i walk up at middle of the night,can u please tell me is this also the thing happened to you. Please reply please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@harshmunda5358 sorry late reply! Yes I completely understand the sleepless nights. My brain was always so active with worry about what was going on, I had a very difficult sleeping pattern for months. That said, I also always just wanted to sleep all day. It was a vicious cycle.

Hi. Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear you are going through this challenging period. I completely understand when you say it came out of the blue! I wish you the very best on your road to recovery. Stay intouch and know there are many of us out here to help support each other. Best Gregg

Hi Victor. Apologies my delayed reply. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I’m so sorry to hear of your horrifying experience. I truely wish you the very best. Gregg

Hi and first of all, thanks for watching! I'm really sorry to hear you find yourself in this situation. And I really appreciate you reaching out. Going back to art and giving it meaning with activism has really been a life saver for me. I highly encourage you to use your talents and passions. And I think using them in mental health would really benefit so many people as well as yourself. I really hope you stay intouch and let us all know how you get on. And don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I would love to tell you everything I know. Secondly, you talk about shame and guilt and feelings of not being good enough. The fact is, you probably excel in what you do and because you care, this is how you ended up with a burnout. This was a real difficult one for me to overcome. I think it is our brain saying "hey you're not in your usual routine, get back to it". But that is exactly what you shouldn't do, just yet! I gave into this too often and it really set me back a number of times.just accepting this will be hard enough work in itself these coming weeks. I really encourage you to try and first think of this time off work as a holiday. Work is always there. But right now you just need to empty your brain as much as possible. When ideas and thoughts pop into your head, just write them down and acknowledge you will come back to them when you have the capacity. This next few weeks for you is vital to release everything and allow you mind ) and body to recover. Do anything and everything that feels caring and good for you. Eating good, sports, outdoors, spa, mediation etc Avoid watching tv, movies, social media, reading the newspaper and just filling your head with more. Acknowledge once your had this rest, you can go back to your notes, or take new things up. And pick up where you left off in a better place with stronger boundaries. Of course this is just my advice based on my experience. But there are many things I really wished I just understood and dis differently during my experience. Like I said in my videos, I was using my time to make these videos because I was desperate for answers. But I really could have used this time to first be good, kind and gentle on myself. I wish you the very best for a safe and healthy recovery. Please stay intouch. Your comments will certainly benefit others also. Best, Gregg

@@AnxiousGregg Thank you for the advice Gregg - this was really helpful! I actually did start being creative again, little by little. I decided that I will write a few pages a week, detailing the experience of bringing up my daughter (now 11 months) - from how I felt before she arrived, to the current day, and as she gets older. The mornings is the worst for me right now. Each morning, I have to pull myself up and try to be strong. It gets better throughout the day but I dread the mornings right now. Lastnight I got frustrated and had anger inside at my daughter for waking us up at 2 a.m - which is not normal for me as I am usually quite a balanced, calm person. So, some rides still to wave. Thank you Gregg

@@altctrlscream wow! I really admire your strength! Not only are you burnt out, you are raising an 11 month daughter. This takes incredible strength . I do hope that you remind yourself of this when you are feeling low. I can’t imagine myself just how challenging this period is for you. I do hope with each day you find things getting a little easier. I really look forward to hearing more of your progress in the coming months! Take care, gregg

Hi Lauren. Thanks for watching and for your comment. I hope you are doing well in your situation. 🤗

Thanks for watching. Hope it helps!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you like it. 👍

Hi Hector. Thanks for watching and sharing. I know exactly where you are at with the feelings of wishing I was my old self. But from my experience I can assure you, I learnt so much about myself and it wasn’t easy, but on the other side of it now. Although there are sometimes little feelings of if only I was my old self, my new self is way better! More boundaries, more awareness of what works (and doesn’t) work for me, and a feeling of just standing better in this world. Try not to let these feelings overwhelm you anymore with everything else you are experiencing. I wish you a healthy and safe recovery. I hope my videos can help you some. If you ever have specific questions, do leave them in the comments. Hopefully either myself or someone here following the channel can offer some support. All the best.

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.

Hi Jackie, I’m so happy to hear you are doing so well! You have really worked hard to not only get though your burnout but set up a life that works for you. Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing, taking the time to watch my videos and supporting the channel and those who watch it. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I am just so sincerely delighted to hear your story! 👏🤗 all the best!
