How did you do this!

How

[@zainsahi2181]

@@odytay8612 sorry for responding late. Do follow shaan's content and try to understand mechanics of anxiety. In the start of your journey i would strongly suggest that dont try to feel good or comfortable just allow the symptoms. Moreover, allowing anxiety is also a game of practice. In the start, it is very common to feel confused regarding accepting or allowing the anxiety. As you keep doing it, you master it. Finally, as you master doing it, recovery is all yours. Best wishes and stay strong 💪

Anxiety is truly about our feelings. The symptoms are just consequences of that emotion.

[@vinylg3421]

Stop judging... such a great message Shaan.. I feel our whole lives revolve around judging, from everything to everyone .... if we learn to unlearn judging , life would be so much better xx

[@sauparnikasoman1941]

Your channel had drastically helped and changed my perspective on 'nervous illness'. All other channels were emphasizing on the symptoms rather than how to actually cope and recover from it.its obviously a gradual journey,but you can certainly have a full recovery ❤.

[@rickm6232]

This was huge for me Shaan! Go crazy, sadness, lack of motivation etc. You sure hit it on the head as always! It's funny how anxiety can be your best friend and worst enemy!

[@dj.sobxrbe]

i feel like i’m at the stage of recovering where i’m trying to feel happy again. it all started with a huge panic attack that turned into anxiety derealization and depersonalization but i overcame both of them now i’m just in a state of depression i can’t laugh with my family or friends and when i do i’m forcing it i also have a weird numb feeling in my head that just throws me off and makes me sad. i think overcoming this will fully heal me because i basically don’t have any physical symptoms anymore

[@jemimag2417]

Just let it be everything will be fine.. allow that sadness to be there it will slowly fade away but while allowing just live your life normally

[@jpage99999]

Feel the feelings but keep doing what you’re needing to do. Just like you allow palpitations, dizziness, and so on, allow feelings. They will pass. Every time you try to feel a certain way, the opposite happens. If you try to chase a positive emotion, it doesn’t work. Feelings are not goals in and of themselves, they are results or consequences. The response is the same, they are so under the anxiety umbrella. There’s no right or wrong, good or bad, no judgement about your feelings. Don’t put a narrative around it. Accept them, allow them. You sabotage your recovery by judging them. How you feel is how you feel. Let it happen.

[@kenith6394]

I WILL PREACH THIS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT ANXIETY TOO> THIS IS HOW MY SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY

[@CherylHuse]

I’ve been trying to do this. Thank you for sharing. For me I also have Lyme so I’m constantly scanning my body and the sensations mimic panic. I’m trying to just allow it. My diet isn’t the best I’m trying to work on eating better and more frequent so I don’t skip meals when I feel nervous.

[@somakhan5895]

[@vinylg3421]

@@marthasisco9678 I do understand. I still don't feel normal. I am in my head most of the time, but now I can spot my old behaviors, e.g. stup*id scary thoughts like I won't be normal ever. I can't go back to work. It's not for me anymore. The roof might fall on my head this minute. Etc etc. Really I spent years believing these thoughts and getting triggered by them, but they are so baseless and only kept me in the fear/depression cycle.

[@monkeyman1350]

NGL I went through a few of your videos and I'm not exagerrating when I say it felt like you were in my head. I started thinking I could be getting brainwashed. I was thinking this because A: I give into catastrophizing thoughts often and B: I was thinking that even if this method that makes a lot of sense works for the panic/intrusive thoughts/etc... it can't possibly work for those deep rooted heavy feelings that I will still have afterward. This video clears that up. True acceptance is to stop chasing a state, and rather to accept right now for what it is, whether it's good or bad. Chasing something just empowers the belief in your mind that you haven't caught it, and you thus you will never believe you have caught it.

[@ChemicalQuail]

[@CookieVibes]

Great stuff Shaan! I never thought to put feelings under the anxiety umbrella as well. I wonder if this in a way is how people without anxiety should handle their emotions too. Anxiety has taught me so much. I'm currently going thru the dp/dr stuff and am seeing improvements with just allowing it. Thanks again for these videos, they mean the world to people like me.

[@normalotus]

Are you a psychic? Your videos are always aligned with what I’m going though lol

[@vksharma3730]

Shaan i know you are doing such a great job by helping people but the biggest problem is that as i asked u earlier when one is fully overcome from all the physical symptoms and living normally still is he at any risk of having heart disease later on in life due to anxiety he faced once..... My brother only this doubt or irrational thought makes me come back to the cycle of anxiety.... I have a very tough profession where it is mandatory to be robust at physical and mental level still i have not quit this job that is why i am requesting you again and again to make a video with proper explanation on this because u have a lot of information on this as u meet a number of anxiety sufferers around the world.... And am sure this is the problem of almost every anxiety sufferer please eradicate this doubt 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊

[@liztowers2058]

We just have to accept ALL of our thoughts. Feelings and physical symptoms.....relax. .allow them all to happen. It takes TIME. GO TO DR AND GET BLOOD WORK AND Check UP DONE. ...rule everything out. If you're ok .you know it's anxiety. Throw it all under the anxiety umbrella And then go from there

[@Archferumphis]

Super helpful! My main problem 2,5 months into DPDR recovery has been that I was able to make the physical symptoms and intrusive thoughts to go away by throwing them under the anxiety umbrella. I was missing the component of doing the same thing with feelings. I've somehow felt emotionally disconnected from my past memories and experiences, but this will help me get through these too!

What happens when your emotions are everywhere,, you want to hurt yourself, throw yourself or bite yourself and beat yourself just to feel some pain. How do you deal with that tension?

[@crystal_vvave9045]

Hey, Shaan! Very good video. So do you think it is also important to adress thinking habits while accepting everything? Like I see a lot of people who are struggling have had thinking habits all their life without realizing it, which fuels anxiety. Like catastrophising, need to control everything, always trying to get 100% guarantess that smth bad won't happen, hyperbolisation, perfectionism, etc.

I would love to hear your take on the difference between trauma/inner child type anxiety vs sensitization? I see this misconstrued a lot but I also see the link between having survival patterns of perfectionism, overachieving, people pleasing and that leading to sensitization? It’s so confusing.

Tell yourself that its not a problem if you sleep less, you wont die. You will sleep more next night, if not, the the night after that! At most you will feel fatigued the entire day after 2-3 hours of sleep but its not something dangerous.
