[@dunkinsdad1762]

I have suffered with anxiety for 30 years off and on. Last night was the first time I started to experience these thoughts. Extremely scary. The odd thing is they appeared just as I am starting to get better control of my physical symptoms. Anxiety is so powerful it seems like it shifted its attach method on me. Anyone else experience that when you start to get some control over one symptom set that a completely different set of symptoms appear?

[@Wduck_]

Yes I have experienced this it's terrible

[@pitchbuckets2860]

You have been programmed for a very long time to make anxiety a part of your life, when you start to diminish the anxiety you create more anxiety because something is missing. Even though it’s a good missing, your mind and body are fearing the unknown ( control and peace ) this is why it’s so crucial to work on these things so early in life so they do not become us and we do not become dependent on them. Many of us don’t get the opportunity until later in life. Hope you’re doing well , one year after you posted this.

[@mustafatoribio7968]

Very important topic and a good one, one of the Big mistakes we make during this process is thinking that thoughts are the problem which arent, the problem is the sensibilitation of the amigdala and the overreaction we have to that thought, the difference between people Who get stucked in any kind of mental process and those Who dont is the emotional reactivness to thinking paterns. This video helps a lot to understand how the anxiety play tricks on us and as shaan said make us believe that kind of thoughts or worryings are real which arent, thats why i dont agree with the exposure industry , is not smart to be fighting irrational fears before the anxiety we didnt have, because the nature of the anxiety is going to be creating more problems. And is not solved by the root of this nerve over sensitization

Man you’ve been so on point with your videos! I had mild anxiety in my 20s, but nothing debilitating. But in January, I had a full blown panic attack traveling. It triggered all types of physical symptoms, and insomnia for the last 8 months. Recently I excepted the facts that it’s just anxiety, stopped googling symptoms and started working out daily, to burn that adrenaline. My physical symptoms have calmed down greatly, I just have these lingering thoughts of “what if” I loose control or my mind one day. Just knowing how anxiety and your body works takes so much power away from anxiety. Thank you so much for you work and videos Shaan!!

We have the same experience. I was diagnosed with panic disorder its about 10 months already now. I already accepted the fact that it is just anxiety so I don't have physical symptoms now but my mind is always thinking what if I go crazy at some point or some existential thoughts like why are we here? What is the purpose of life? And etc. I experience these things together with dpdr 24/7.

[@CATAZTR0PHE]

Good God, thank you for this video! I've tried playing horror games a few times. But the mental tension was so high and unbearable that I wanted to scream. I am not able to play such games. Then I realized that if the tension during playing increases so much that I want to scream - it means that in a normal situation I have to have a constant high level of tension, but I don't feel it because I'm used to it. Apparently I usually have a high "base" tension. Sometimes I have thoughts of stabbing someone in the family. But now I'm also having thoughts that are cruel, disgusting. I was appalled 🥺 So apparently the mental tension jumps, adrenaline is released and these thoughts appear. It's something physiological. Thank you, it's so helpful!!!

I'm thankful that my GP convinced me to have another scan that caught it. I'm thankful to have gotten it out yesterday but now the what if question will never be the same. Lol.

I have ptsd and anxiety disorder since age 12. I more recently the last 3 months have been sick with a terrible head cold. Then i accidently burned my leg with cooking oil then the next month i became constipated. All these things seriously stressed me out. I went to the hospital twice thinking i was having a heart attack but the ekg and blood work said otherwise. After laying there for 5 hours i felt fine. The reason i went to the hospital was cause i woke up with a racing heart my heart rate was 149 bpm. No pain no dizziness. But i surely panicked. Now i believe it was adrenaline my body was burning off after 3 months of serious stress and anxiety.

I don't get panic attacks but get anxiety attacks in winter so this yr after leaving med I did the thing that is to feel the anxiety means intentionally looking on earth feeling what I am feeling stop smiling be in my mood in my mind for 7 months I some how managed it but when you are having attacks this doesn't work attacks should be dealt with benzodiazipines and ssri in accordance to your health care professional . Remember one this you can do in attacks is to feel the attack acceptance actually means feel that it's happening right now to me in this room at this time but it's very hard in case of anxiety or panic attacks so try your best you can do it . Problem with anxiety is that it works not same with all people some just need CBT and some medication best treat is combined CBT+medication+acceptance of feelings (desensitization)

Does anxiety make you feel like your brain will shut down and you may not be able to perform basic actions too? Does it feel blocked and cannot think or process information or resgister the same when reading or talking to someone? Its like you feel so blocked in your head you cant even organise your throughts or think or form sentences if you for instance have to write a message or email. Is this a symptom of anxiety too along with constant muscle contraction throughout the body? And sometimes you out of no whee breathe fast and burst out crying?

[@Bellan8845]

Had it like some few days ago and something little left yesterday. With all you saying… yes this is also reaction of stress hormones because of high levels of anxiety. Just let it be for what it is, dont be scared (i know this is easy to say and you may hate it) but i learned this from what my mom told me and from all these videos from shaan, just accept it and train each day for every symtom to accept it and learn to NOT BE SCARED, and with time it will dissapear belive me it is true! It Will burn down of itself, just how it came it Will also dissapear. Watch more of shaans videos and you Will learn alot and there are more videos from a Chanel also called Depersonalization Manual a Guy talking about similar things. And my advise what helped me alot, is to listen and Watch alot of these videos and then with time start slowly Watch less and less so you dont end up in cycle of being trapped by this, or you Will never end with your symptoms. Just make what feels good and best for you of taking help of these manual in Shaans Channel just as you want.

The only way out is through it my friend no other way,there is no managing. Get freedom from them by not giving a fuck about them. as shaan says long term freedom not short term relief,its better to face a full anxiety attack now than have it all ur life
