[@cristinakoni7488]

What my therapist told me to think when I have anxiety. Okay so, think of anxiety as a lady that comes to your house (mind) and hits your door. Most of us we will not open because we are trying to fight those bad thoughts right? I am telling you, open the door. Let the lady come in, the lady in black I say, and be friendly with her. Drink coffer or tea make a scenario in your head. She will start telling you all of the bad things. Respond to her, I know. I fucking know, and it's okay. Make her understand that you don't care anymore. Make her afraid of you. Please try and never ever give up❤

[@HIGHLANDER_ONLY_ONE]

Me too. I just found out that my father had a abandonment issues, and my mother has Borderline Personality Disorder. In essence I eas abused. I thought it was normal that my parents were strict. So, now that I'm 54 I have a finally found a therapist I like. The more l learn about my parents issues, not to judge, but to learn why im having issues. I also have ADHD - it can be genetic, and made, low on the autism and OCD. I'm told that BPD mothers really mess up their kids... Good luck, I wish you peace 🌷

it is horrible indeed!! The thing i hate is that i don't know why!!!I used to be the happiest person ever !!Never sick or anything and now i battle anxiety up to a part that i'm frightened to drive a car or face people at work even tho i am well liked. i have seen doktors but they don't seem to listen or understand!! I've been told to picture myself in a good place or try to have pleasant thoughts or meditate... jeez don't these dokcors understand that once you have a anxiety attack there is no way to put yourself in a better place 'cause one has enough trouble already to deal with the situation you are in already!! A tree and flowers on a meadow just don't do the trick that easily!!! For all those who think anxiety is they're own fault don't see it that way!!! I have the almost perfect life !! Great job , no money problems , no future worries no relationship troubles , no family drama yet still those attacks come !! thats why i am furious with doctors who seem to look down on you , thinking a little pill or long walks in the fresh air would help , like one is an idiot !

I've been to several therapists and this man is leagues above them all in terms of knowledge and caring. If healers intend to heal instead of just keeping you coming back they would have a plan such as this man presents. Carefully crafted using all his knowledge of the issues, and indeed a wise knowledge imo. If we had more healers like this man the world would be a better place

Having seen numerous therapists over the years, these videos make more sense than any of them. This guy absolutely gets it, I did have an NLP guy try some processes with no effect but I suspect / hope to combination of understanding and practical tools could crack it. GAD sounds like cptsd which I notice getting triggered but have no idea what interpretation my unconscious has made. All the best to all those brave souls suffering and searching - you are not alone.

I had a SEVERE generalized anxiety disorder and can't believe how it went away. Now I have normal anxiety that's easy to shake off. At the peak of my GAD, there was absolutely nothing that would help. I got on medications, which helped to a certain extent. Then I added daily cardio. Then I started doing CBT on my own (all you need is a workbook, no need for an expensive therapist). Learn how to set boundaries, especially if there is a toxic relationship in your life. But to be perfectly honest, I think what cured my GAD is just letting time do it's wonders.

[@jollyroger1009]

That second step for dealing with worry: after 24 years I finally realized this while talking with a friend who also has GAD. The key thing for me was to first realize that I was agitated (and had been for 24 years) and needed to calm down (I found humming the Taylor Swift song with those lyrics strangely comforting at that moment). Now after 24 years I am finally starting to feel a change back to what it was like before this happened. It took 24 years to realise: it destroyed a career, countless friendships and relationships and led to a life on constant Turbo charge. Feeling some sense of relaxation after 24 years...can't explain how good. Thanks Mike for your work. Good counsellors are hard to find in my experience, glad you're out there.

[@jollyroger1009]

I’m anxious almost 24/7, worrying about everything. I start feeling dizzy immediately after going out in public. Especially in supermarket, malls or restaurant. Sometimes it just goes away but there is times when it’s very very persistent. I found that magnesium helps so I usually always take big amounts.

[@katrinakaye7997]

I've become the same this year due to the lack of social interaction and what's going on in the world. Dizziness non-stop, upon waking to going to sleep. Exercise, meditation and accepting the symptoms as they are tends to help. I hope we both heal soon.

[@bintehahashim196]

Went to seek for help and found out I am indeed diagnosed with anxiety disorder. It is truly depressing. To get your day ahead seems very stressful, waking up everyday is putting me into a lot of worries and stress. Even though some of my family members aware of my anxiety they don't seem to fully understand how it works. All I hear from them is 'you have to go to work', if only it was that easy. Even if I wanted to, if the anxiety comes and attack me right then there's nothing I can do about it. The hardest thing for me is to explain what I feel when I'm having this anxious feeling, even after explaining to them, no one actually understands.

[@shirleykaye4344]

Very helpful video. I have forwarded information to my therapist so she can watch it as well as some of the others. My GAD is complicated further by Major Depressive Disorder, Agoraphobia and a bunch of other fears. Due to hyponatremia in the past, I cannot take SSRIs or SNRIs, so all my meds are only partially effective. I agree with the prior comments about never thinking about emotional trauma in the past being relevant. My parents were very overprotective, I'm an only child, and they taught me to fear almost everything, and never untaught me as I got older, so my fears are still stuck in a child's mind in my head. Thank you for the insights you provide on the KZbin channel.

It’s a horrible vicious loop. I’ve had long term health anxiety and it’s cardiac phobia for me unfortunately. I’ve been checked out numerous times so it’s a habit now. Any feelings in my body of sensations and I’m afraid. It’s crippling in many ways and exhausting.

[@olgaitz2553]

I have health anxiety too! And particularly cardiac, I don’t sleep, my heart is racing know it’s bad for my health to be this way and it’s bring more anxiety

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

@@olgaitz2553 Hi, how long has this being going on? Firstly the best thing is to get checked out by a GP and then a cardiologist to rule out any medical issues. Secondly I’d get help in the form of CBT, exposure therapy, to build confidence and accept you have health anxiety or cardiac phobia. Once that’s taken care of remember you are NOT your thoughts! You can think the world will end tomorrow but that’s just a thought, you have no proof! You might think “what if I get a heart attack?” But that does not mean you will, I mean you’d know if you did I’m sure. Don’t live in fear. Live every day fearlessly because the one life we have is every day. Just say no to your thoughts, let them wash over you. Anxiety is like an airplane flying through turbulence, it may be uncomfortable but it generally doesn’t harm you! I hope this helps!

Do you have any advice about sleep 🙏🏻

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

@@olgaitz2553 You’re welcome. Sleep is important! I never had sleep problems thankfully. How long is this going on? Do you exercise daily? You look very fit, do you drink lots of coffee? Smoke? Have you a lot of worries? All can affect good sleep! The best thing is cut out stimulates, wind down in the evening by talking a 30 min walk, stretch, have a shower or bath, avoid TV, phones and internet. Read a book, try deep breathing and muscle relaxing exercises. Go to bed early and get up early. Keep hydrated. Sleeping pils are not good because they eventually become a bad habit or disrupt natural sleeping patterns. I’m no expert but excessive worry, stress and lifestyle can cause sleep problems. Get a partner to massage you at bedtime and listen to soft music or try yoga! I hope this helps!

In engineering it would called positive feed back loop. in machine if positive response is to strong you get device that over reacts. in amplifier if put mic to close you get squeal. antidepressant help reduce the strength of the positive feed back.which means it easier to break the loop.

Listening to Kay’s story is similar to mine and in a way I believe some of my anxiety comes from my fear of also being like that unconsciously after being in such an environment for a while.

Wonderful video!

[@johntimken9842]

I told my boss where to stick his job, sold my house, and downsized to a cheaper lifestyle. Then I was beholden to no one, and while the stress never disappears, now twenty years later I'm happier than ever. Booze, drugs, and therapy are a waste of time. Just liberate yourself and follow your instincts.

Medication and therapy can help. It’s simply a chemical imbalance

I enjoyed this video. The English/British accent if so soothing. Reminds me of Harry Potter as a child.

I usually wake up with anxiety. How do I get rid of my nightmares? It's so agonizing

[@Masterstockli]

I know where mine is coming from.. I was paralyzed for no reason...I'm recovered now but iv become so self aware of my body its always on my mind. I especially since the doctors could not find out what caused it.. What's worse is that drinking takes it away.. Makes you want to drink but I almost never do.

[@jerryjones1344]

Thank you Mark. Id just like to say that your advice on exercise as aid to lower anxiety is spot on. I hate exercising but it's only thing that helps with my GAD. You do a wonderful job with your advice on youtube.

[@ivanvukoja7654]

I'm struggling with anxiety for last 6 months.. I don't know if anyone have but I do have that all time face numbness, it starts between my eyes, and now it's all over my face, around mouth under eyes, my cheks,.. And it becomes worse when my anxiety kicks me harder.. Idk what to do anymore.. Don't won't to go on medication, I was prescribed zoloft 100mg.. But from anxiety I don't feel hunger at all, like my stomach is paralysed (since my anxiety it's coming from stomach).. Plus my sleeping it's so bad too.. Please if someone have same experience let me know here.. Thanks and God bless you all..

And to think, I've been treating my GAD with booze, pot, and suicidal thoughts that come from my inability to hold a job, fit into society and be a functional human being.

[@akashshrestha01]

Dont try to fit into society Everybody is unique and has right live uniquely

[@Ang_Nicole]

Ughhhh same

[@FunnyClips-sd1kx]

I'm right there with you I hate just feeling numb sometimes.

[@vampirexion]

Minus the weed, same here. Weed makes it worse and alcohol makes it good for a but then bad next day. Lost my job a month ago and every day is hell. Man I'm only 24 I feel like my whole life is ruined and I worry it'll never get any better

[@Peanuts76]

Dont buy to the race of social media and company put on us.... We are unique in our on way

[@dennysmith7862]

Liquid iodine on one's wrists helps slightly...first thing in morning... Breathing in through nose to a count of 4... hold to a count of 7... then let breath out through mouth to a count of 8... Do quite a few times throughout the day... Breathing in oxygenated country fresh air is the best...

1mg of Klonopin a day and 1 hour of heavy exercise per day got rid of about 85% of my general anxiety disorder.

[@tommyortiz6623]

This is the first time I hear of someone almost getting rid of this disorder!

[@screww2701]

Yeah but you get heavily addicted to the clonopin

Bit confused with these tips on GAD. As a high intensity NHS psychotherapist, I was trained in CBT for GAD using the Dugas et al and Borkovec models. GAD consists mainly of intolerance-to-uncertainty and worry. reassurance seeking is also prominent. people with can need to 'make certain' about things and regularly and disproportionately check and recheck tasks (they need all the information before they act), and rather do tasks themselves because otherwise they get anxious about others not doing the task completely right. There is an overlap with OCD in certain areas, especially relating to an over inflated sense of responsibility. People worry because they think it is functional (see Dugas), positive beliefs about worry. but there are also negative beliefs about worry (this is going to drive me mad, get a brain tumour etc), which of course is not true .Once these (positive and negative beliefs about worry) have been debunked, people tend to worry a lot less. I understand the relaxation part, Borkovec recommends Progressive Muscle Relaxation in their protocol. But both NICE/NHS protocols appear little resemblance to what is in the video. Moreover, a predisposition to GAD may be genetic, but the major source is learned usually by our primary care givers. GAD is contagious. the problem is that the more one worries, the more one gets anxious. Then there is a point where the anxiety sticks but we have to internally search what we are anxious about , then we find a reason and off we go again, worrying, its cyclonic. CBT helps to break this cycle.

If my GAD was triggered by self-image of being overweight (still overweight now) and stretchmarks everywhere, is accepting it or myself essentially the cure then, the worry of people seeing my marks or moobs as I was growing up triggered this I think.
